Last night my husband and I dined at Wing Wah Chinese Restaurant for the first time. Although they…read moreoffer takeaway (and we saw several people stop by doing just that), we figured for our first experience we would dine in. And we were glad we did! It is a spacious restaurant with lots of room for big groups of people, even the table for two had ample space. Neither my husband or I have been a big fan of Chinese food much in the past, but since I had walked past here a few times during the day and the place always had customers, that appeared to be a a good sign. Then I checked out their reputation on line and there was all good feedback in that department as well. We ordered the sizzling beef with ginger and sizzling (free range) chicken with black pepper, with rice to accompany the meal and jasmine tea to drink. Both dishes came sizzling their little hearts out on the cast iron and timber trays shaped like cows. Both were very generous in size, and the teapot seemed endless and never went cold. Wing Wah managed to change our criticism on Chinese food; neither dish was too oily, too salty or overcooked. The ingredients used looked and tasted fresh and delicious. Overall high quality, authentic Chinese food. The meal was quality and thus price reflected, just over $40 for all that I mentioned above. The website is a bit strange however - There is no menu at all on the site (even though they offer takeaway), and the food gallery link had three pictures! C'mon guys!

As mentioned in other reviews, the staff are nice and always come around to ask if we need something. I've never been to an inner city Thai restaurant - but some vouchers made this experience possible. We had a three course meal and cannot complain about the quality or quantity I the meals! The taste was very authentic and after ordering coconut milk based curries we weren't feeling bloated or weighed down. We ordered a Prawn Salad, fish cakes, satay chicken skewers for appetisers. Main course was chicken pad thai, red chicken curry, red duck curry, chicken stir fry and another chicken curry. Well seasoned and the presentation on foo was worth the experience - pictures speak for themselves! Recommended if you can afford the $20+ price range for curries!

I've had Chicken and Cashew Nut as well as Chicken and Mushroom in black bean sauce, and both have been very good. Better quality than most Chinese takeaways (not restaurant quality though). $15.50 is the standard for most dishes, and the portion is huge. It easily can feed two or be used for two meals and even three. You can also get half portions for around $9 which is perfect for one. Great service, nice clean place and great selection of cold drinks. They do fish and chips and assorted deep fried food as well, and they have a large range of Chinese, Thai and Malaysian dishes on the menu.

There is quite a lot of Thai food around in Auckland these days and not all of it up to scratch but Jungle Flavour is one of the best. We went for New Years Eve dinner and managed to get a last minute table for seven. That's not to say they were quiet - every table was full - so I think we just got lucky. The menu is the usual stuff but done to perfection. I'm a semi-vegetarian (oh ok fussy eater) so can often be disappointed but the Tofu Satay made me a tofu convert and my Red Curry had so much flavour I had to doggy-bag the tiny bit that was left. The service is fast and friendly and they were relaxed and patient with our three hyped-up for New Years kids. Ah, sure give 'em another round of cokes - it's a celebration. A lot of care has been taken with all aspects of this place (love the brilliantly tacky Tropical jungle theme) and the pricing is excellent. There has been a trend lately for neighbourhood restaurants removing the BYO option but happily, not here. There is of course a comprehensive drinks list including wine if you don't feel like taking your own. I can't recommend this place enough and while Balmoral already has great Thai eating, Jungle Flavour is my new absolute favourite.

I was…read morenervous and thought the Jungle may end up being a bad idea, especially when I rocked up to the door, which was decorated with those awful plastic drapes. Yet inside, my nerves were quickly dissipated. The decor really is jungle-like and filled with plenty of wild character. The staff were attentive to all our needs and recommended some dishes that were truly delicious. My friends really enjoyed themselves, and it made me wonder what all those bad reviewers were going on about. Will definitely go again.

A little surprised about some of the negative reviews (which did not seem to have much in the way…read moreof negative comments). I thought this was one of the better Thai meals we have had, much better than our local Thai restaurant of choice (chosen largely by convenient location). Located in a strip mall off the well travelled Highway 16, it is not the fanciest restaurant you will ever eat at but the food was good, I'll say the service was good despite one glaring mistake, and prices were very fair. I had the black pepper stir fry with tofu, partner had peanut sauce stir fry. You are asked you desired spiciness; both were perfectly seasoned with the desired heat. The menu clearly identifies vegan stir fry's, another positive. For our simple order the food was delivered promptly and it was hot. The glaring mistake? I ordered a beer with the meal which never arrived, and there was no opportunity to address this until the food arrived, at which point I was fine not having it. Yes, we would return.

Probably the best Thai food restaurant in Auckland, Golden Silk Thai Restaurant occupies an…read moreunassuming little space in Kumeu, but it is a space that serves plates of pleasure. Golden Silk is home to excellent food, fabulous service, and even a good show. Plus you can get take-aways to keep you going for the whole week. The braised duck with coriander sauce will tickle the taste buds, and you can almost try anything with the name chicken attached to a Thai name. The wait staff are beautifully dressed, and there is a comfortable bar, should you need to wait for a table. For our monthly company lunch we regularly book the upstairs area, which is perfect for our team of twenty slaves. And never a complaint from any one of them.

I've tried their yellow chicken curry which wasn't pretty tasty, but my favourite was their Three Spiced Chicken which was delicious! I love trying anything that's a little spicy and this dish had a prefect combination or tangy, spicy and sweet. For $2 you can add all-you-can-eat jasmine rice to your meal, which makes any Thai meal even more satisfying. I also recommend their fried rice and Pad Thai noodles (they are both mild), some great, simple and satisfying picks. Get in early to avoid trying to find a carpark in the small parking lot they share with Genghis and others, it fills up very quickly.
