I called to make a reservation earlier in the day as I wasn't sure they'd be able to accommodate our group of 8 which included my 98 year old grandad who requires a walker. No problem! They also held my son's birthday cake in the back and brought it out as a surprise. I definitely would go back. Too bad we live in the US. My NZ family will be going back for more delicious food!

Was there on a Wednesday evening and the place was packed. Popular place for big groups. Was not disappointed in the food. I did find the service slow as they did not have a lot of staff waiting and our waitress we had to wave down to get more rice. They have an upstairs where you can a function. Very spacious in the main dining area. Definitely come back again with a big group.

If you like food that bursts into flame, but with an eastern flare, this is the restaurant. I had…read moremy graduation dinner here, and they have the best tables for groups to sit in a large circle. This makes it really easy to share many plates of delectable food. Watching the petite asian women bring out large flaming dishes is quite a sight to see, and a popular choice amongst those out in East Auckland. The service is always excellent and I've never had a nasty dish. The staff all dress as though they are in Thailand, and the decor reflects that traditional flavour well. The parking isn't so hot, because it can get really busy in this area. Best find one early!

The food was really delicious and spicy. (not for the plain taste buds!) My friend and I had the jubilation chicken, chicken satay and beef curry, which were all good quality. The service was good, but the waitress seemed a bit grumpy. She didn't smile at all the whole time we were there. Sort of made you want to leave in a hurry. No offerings for dessert or coffee. There may have been some on the menu, but it wasn't mentioned. So make sure you know where to get your sweet fix afterwards.

Of course the advantage of its location is that there's tonnes of parking. I've been here a couple of times and the food has always been good, not outstanding, but definitely good quality. The prices are a little steep though, considering that there isn't really anything especially stand-out about it (at least not for me, and I'm not expert on Thai food, I just know what I like). The service is really lovely though, and it would be worth a look for lunch, which I've never tried here. Hopefully you'd get the same quality food at a slightly more reasonable price.

I was fine, but she was really bothered by it. Looking at the menu, I saw that they had noodle dishes. The problem was I was not really bothered by not having noodles, it was just her attitude which spoilt a good night for me.
