I give this place 4 stars! The service was really nice and friendly and they had great interior decor - origami napkins, origami looking light shades and even the artwork on the wall, great big 3D leaves, also had a origami feel, nice one. Very clean, tidy and a relaxed set-up, but also had a professional restaurant look too. I ordered Pad Thai, a traditional favourite by many, including myself. It wasn't spicy at all, had a nice tinge of lemon in the background. Tasted fresh and lovely. I had the tofu and veg variety. It only cost $13 with a soft drink included and the serving was a generous portion. I will be back, and I better take hubby next time...

Chill Out is where we go for 'fancy' Thai takeaways. It's almost double the price of Thai Cuisine…read moreacross the road (NB, most mains for takeaway are around $14 + rice, so not too expensive, thai cuisine's just really cheap), but the extra price is definitely reflected in the taste and quantity. This place is not for spice whimps. If you haven't been before, I recommend ordering the spice level below what you normally get, as they work on a Thai hotness scale, rather than kiwi hotness! Their sauces are not too sweet, and flavours are well-balanced. They also have some nice features like free delivery within a 5km radius for orders over $30, and a 'coffee card' where you get a stamp for main meals purchased and eventually get a free one. Though we really only get takeaways, you can also eat in.

A few of us chose Phad Thai rice noodles, very tasty and quite big portions. Mr chose the Crying Tiger marinated Thai style sirloin steak which was indeed grilled to perfection.

We thought it all worked and are recommending Mix Moon.

Narm Thong is a Thai restaurant located down the Mt Roskill end of Dominion Road. I've been there…read morequite a few times with my dad and we've always been really impressed by both the food and the service. Though over the years I've tried quite a few of their dishes, the ones that have stuck out in my mind as great options are the Gang Gra Ree and Gang Mussaman curries. Both come with potatoes, onions and traditional Thai spices, can be made with a variety of meats, and are absolutely delicious. As entrees go, I would also suggest Gra Ree Puffs - they are the best curry puffs this side of Auckland! The decor and atmosphere of Narm Thong is typical of Thai eateries - lots of fake gold cutlery, ornate framed pictures, traditional Thai music plays in the background, and all wait staff don traditional Thai attire, helping to set the scene. Narm Thong is a great place to meet friends or family for dinner and the atmosphere is really laidback and casual. The perfect Sunday night destination! Tip: Narm Thong offers dine in and takeaway options, as well as a catering service.

Absolutely delicious! Some of the best Thai food I've ever had…read more After a long and hot day at the Auckland Zoo, the kids and I had a hankering for Thai. We found Sweet Chilli after taking an Uber to the Thai restaurant 3 doors down; however, it was closed... which thankfully led us here. The service was absolutely impeccable, with sweet touches like the napkins being folded into origami crowns. The dishes are full of abundant fresh ingredients. I especially love the veggies; so many of them and prepared so they still have a crispness, and burst with flavor. The use of spices brought out perfection in every bite. I ordered a beer and was thrilled to see it came with a frosty glass. The owner is very friendly, and responsive. He cheerfully answered all my kids questions, even the somewhat silly. The restaurant is sparkling clean, including the restrooms. The air conditioning is just right. I can't recommend Sweet Chilli Thai enough! 2025 #23

So one rainy night we entered the establishment located on a small strip of stores, with a barbershop and a Chinese restaurant on adjoining sides. The restaurant is longer than it is wide, the lighting and ambiance was just right to draw you in. We were promptly seated by women wearing Chut Thai. We started with the curry puff, golden squid, money bags (thoong thong) and Tom Kha (coconut soup). All very excellent and tasty. The Tom Kha was some of the best I've had. For the main course we had no.40 grilled beef hot plate, no.47 whole snapper in tamarind sauce(they honored our request to put the sauce on the side) and no.55 Drunken noodles. All flavored well and tasty especially the snapper. For desert we had the fried banana and the snow ball (fried ice cream). Both well executed with the banana being ripe and sweet. We parked on the street just outside but they have a private parking lot which we didn't see initially located down a narrow alleyway next to the restaurant. They also kept the restroom very clean. The waitresses were very attentive and the owner/manager was very personable. We split our time between Atlanta and Auckland and I've had my share of Thai food and this restaurant impressed me so much it is now on my rotation list.

The customer service is the best I've experienced in Auckland, and the restaurant is just the cutest little place. I used to live in Thailand so I consider myself a connoisseur of Thai food. I ordered a yellow curry and my bf got the pad Thai (he is on a mission to find the best pad Thai). This was definitely one of the best curries I've ever had. Super authentic! And the presentation is so good. My partners pad Thai even came with a little carrot flower - how cute is that!! We were having such a good time that I didn't want to leave, so we ordered dessert. They have mango sticky rice!! They serve it with dairy ice cream (not necessary for this vegan, but my partner ate it just fine) which was so good!! We also had two chang beers & some veggie spring rolls to start - so good!! This place makes me want to go back to Thailand yesterday! If you're in the area & you're a fan of Thai, definitely check this place out!!

I stumbled across this lovely cafe only because I used to work in the area, and one lunch time popped in for a meal with my partner. Although the location is not the best, the food and service makes up for it I believe. Joy's is a family owned and run cafe, and you do come here for the amazing Thai food, my favourites are the red or green curry with seafood, and the Pad Thai which is perfection. If you blinked driving up to the intersection just around the corner you would really just miss this gem, so I am glad that I got to experience some tasty Thai food in the Pt Chevalier/Mt Albert zone. A nicely decorated comfy interior with lots of booths and tables, or if it's a sunny day, do like I did and enjoy the outdoor seating.
