In terms of prices, it is abit on the higher side but if you take into consideration the area (on the water, in st heliers) it is a pricey area! Imagine the monthly lease price!!!

This does not mean to say however that the quality is any lesser - although their menu is somewhat overwhelmingly large, I made my mind up on a tasty prawn dish with rice for $26, whilst my compadre ordered a beef dish with rice for $22. Service is efficient and friendly, and our water glasses were always filled. I would recommend coming here earlier in the evening and then taking a post-meal stroll along Tamaki Drive (if the weather is nice enough), to help the delicious food settle and also to enjoy the beautiful St Heliers Bay location of the restaurant.

The staff running it were these two thia women who were absolutely lovely. We started with spring rolls and chicken satays, then went on to 10 different mains between 11 of us. The portion sizes were quite large and supper cheap, every dish was about $12. The food was amazing and it all came out really quick. Would absolutly come back here and recommend it to others.

Their portions sizes are generous, food tasted fresh with no overly oily aftertaste, the staff were very friendly, service was great, wait times were about 10-15 minutes from the time we ordered to being on our plates. Dishes start from $10.00 and for what we got this is good value for money. We went on a Wednesday night after 7.30pm and the place was quite - however I doubt there won't be many quite nights at this place after people get a taste of what is on offer. $45 fed a family of three but in saying that our eyes were bigger than what we actually ended up eating so yes we were able to take our left overs away. Also the place is clean and so are the toilets - always a bonus in my eyes. So go on head onto Chok Chai Thai - your taste buds will love you for it.

Apparently there's over 100 branches in China with an interesting story behind it (read it on the poster in the window). We popped in for early dinner around 5.45 a few days after opening and while we were there it filled up with Chinese families obviously in the know. It has a huge glossy menu with a lot of pictures including quite a few varieties of filled savoury pancakes. We tried the Beef Pancake which was quite a lot like a softer coil-shaped meat pie, along with my favourite the Spring Onion. We also ordered Sweet & Sour Pork which the blokes said was amazing, along with a Chicken Noodle Soup and Stirfried Eggplant, Capsicum & Potatoes which came in a delicious thick, dark savoury sauce. The food was excellent and while the service was a bit all over the show, they were clearly still finding their feet. There's a lot of spicy Sichuan dishes and yes we even saw a shredded tofu salad go past heralding Young's Pancake Talk as the new New Flavour. ALL the food here looks so fresh and yummy and a nearby table even had their own cooker on the table and were ordering meats and vegetables to cook themselves. My only beef was that the teapot was filthy and so was the waterjug which isn't really acceptable and you don't get your own condiments on the table - you have to borrow and return the chilli oil, vinegar and soy sauce as there's not enough to go around. The ambience is entirely missing as is to be expected from a restaurant like this although they do have an outdoor table under a marquee. Just go for the food - it cost us less than $50 and tasted so good.

The crowd seemed to consist mostly of young people in couples or a group. The service has been friendly each time - although we are always the outsiders in terms of culture - our entrance tends to draw attention, and it is not because we are fabulous;) I have also eaten the most spicy dish in my life here, and survived to tell the tale! The chef did look surprised when I didn't want to take home my leftovers though - there is only so much I can handle, and I drank copious amounts of table water to help get me through!

It offers some of the most authentic world cuisine you will find anywhere. No frills. There are counters located on the second floor, each counter showcases a different ethnic food. It is primarily Asian cuisine. There is Malaysian, Laotian, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Indonesian, Chinese, Italian, and a couple others. They each offer their own specialities for a fraction of the cost you'd pay at a restaurant. Some take credit cards but mostly cash. There is a separate counter for beverages. An ATM machine is just downstairs. If like us you're watching your dollars, you won't get any better quality food for the price. And it's "authentic" New Zealand considering the entire island is simply one big melting pot. Only lunch and dinner. No breakfast.

I so not recall the juice maker being there, but by golly I'm glad they're there now. Fresh pressed apple juice, ready in seconds. Delish!! Try them out, there are plenty of fruit options. The food court is meant to offer a variety of ethnic cuisines, representative of the many cultures living in New Zealand. I did not see any island food though i.e. Fijian, Tongan or Samoan, which was a disappointment. Options include Malaysian, Chinese, Thai, Laotian and I think I saw Korean. Be aware that some of the food stalls are closed on Sunday. I ordered a vegetable Thai soup with rice and a spring role to kill the sore throat that was pestering me. My wait was approximately 10 minutes, after which a perfectly authentic, hot and spicy soup was ready along with a small side of rice. This particular stall does not bring your meal to you, however I did see other stalls doing so. $12.00 for a hot soup, with plenty left over to take home. Ample seating all around, even a few window spots overlooking Ponsonby Road. It's not fancy, but the food is delicious!

If you're into a more simple, clean, and perhaps lighter taste, then this is your place! Maybe this place was hyped up too much? Or I was feeling extra hungry when I went and my dish wasn't super satisfying... Things we ordered which were just aight: - Herbed Broken Eggs (asparagus, zucchini, pecorino, onion & oregano salsa served with freedom loaf bread): light & clean, but wasn't very filling. Probably should have added bacon! Haha ... it was also a little on the blander side in terms of taste! - Green Eggs Benedict with House cured slab bacon: bacon and eggs were tasty but overall the dish was a little bland as the traditional eggs benny hollandaise sauce was replaced by a green sauce! - Creamy Mushroom + Poached Egg: tasty but too sweet! Overall the presentation was lovely, the service and restaurant environment were also great, but I really value the taste of the food and this place didn't really satisfy my tastebuds ... BUT this is a place you should try at least once to judge for yourselves! Haha the items are definitely very clean and healthy!
