I will definitely be back to try more yummy Thai cuisine again soon!!

Found this place through Yelp and someone else's review…read more I must agree with there review in full but give them 5 stars. 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.

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.

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.

There are three reasons I went to this place…read more 1) It looks wonderfully themed. 2) People always recommend it. 3) $10 lunches for quality thai food. Bargain. It delivered in all three areas. There's a reason why people recommend it: whether it's the moody, Eastern ambience, the great service or the mouth-watering dishes, The Elephant is really a great place to eat. Especially at lunch time when you can try your favourite dishes without having to worry about breaking the bank. I especially like the elephant theme going on - seriously a great idea! Give this place a try sometime if you're out in Howick for the afternoon.

WORST THAI RESTAURANT EVER!!! We eat out regularly, and we have to say they have the WORST service…read morepossible. Their so called manager/waiter had no patience, the minute we walked in, he was super rude, and when we tried to place an order and tried to ask a few questions about the menu, he said "JUST GIVE ME THE NUMBER". It was a disgusting experience. They rip customers off by serving small portions after you purchase a MAIN. They said a drink was included in their lunch deal but forget to mention its only for a soft drink, when we asked for drinks menu he said I'm telling you YOU CAN ONLY GET A SOFT DRINK. Don't go here, they ruined a special day for us. They also deleted our online review on their site.

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 asked if it was always this noisy and the waitress replied Fri and Sat nights yes, busy and loud! The SERVICE however, was FIVE STARS! They were really attentive, helpful and seemed to enjoy being there, even when literally running from table to table. The food - I got the snapper speciality which was a bit bland, I did ask for mild, but it was so mild it didn't seem to taste like much at all. My hubby didn't rave about his dish either, but maybe that was just cos' I couldn't hear him! I would like to come back here again, maybe for lunch, on a quiet weekday perhaps...

It's a cute place with really sweet staff. I got a green curry made vegan and my boyfriend got a pad Thai with tofu. The green curry was seriously legit. I got a jasmine rice with it. The bf loved his pad Thai and downed it in less than 5 mins, even though the portion was pretty good sized. It looked beautiful but tbh we were too hungry for photos. I ate half my green curry and asked for the rest to go. The server brought it back packed in a cute lil container in a bag and he told me that he packed me some rice to go with it. That seriously blew my mind, I've never had a server do that before. Like I'm pretty sure this is my new favorite Thai restaurant. We ended up spending like an hour and a half at this restaurant because it was so cute and cozy and intimate. We had some good talks and drank some wine and overall it was just fab. Our bill was only like $46, which is apparently cheap for Auckland. I was impressed and I would totally recommend this place! I will definitely be back

The staff here are really friendly and they know how look after their customers well. The food is so good with decent portions too; especially the lunchtime special which is only $13.50 for a meal of your choice. And there are plenty to choose from. The only shit thing about this place is that their hours are quite limited, especially during lunch. You gotta get in quick before they close. Other than that though I'd go here every day for lunch if I was around the area, and had the cash.
