Kind on on the fence here. I can see why someone would give them a 4 and I can easily see why they would give a 3. To me I lean more towards 3. I think the food is OK. Service wasn't bad, it was again OK. 1 negative mark I always give restaurants is when they have table service but then you come up to the counter to pay. I hate that. We had ordered a prawn and a chicken pad thai , a whole fried fish, some soup, and pad see ew for the mains. For drinks, a couple of beers, thai teas and a pair of affogatos. I can't remember if there were 2 different affogato on the menu, one alcoholic and one non, but we were def expecting some amaretto in there, which there was none. That amaretto was the main reason why I ordered it. As for service, I feel like after we received our food we were rarely checked on. 1 positive mark I give them is when I first came up to the bar to browse their drinks, I saw something that I couldn't recognize and they offered to let me sample some. It's a very casual vibe here. Nothing wild nor fancy. This is the kind of place you can also easily go to for drinks after work with a group of friends too. Of the food and service was just a tad better I'd be more pressed to give them a 4/5. read more

Thai Street - Thai Tea - Thai Near Me - Auckland, AUK

Service was friendly and easy walk from cbd area. Charming open seating style restaurant. Ordered the Larb gai (Mild) and padkee mao (spice level 2) and sticky rice with mango. The larb was fresh and tasty. Nice portion size: the noodles were average but not as seasoned as other places I have tried-probably should have kept the spice level at 2. The mango sticky rice was nicely paired with ice cream and definitely for one. Overall nice service and location. Would try the curry next time. read more

It was a small Thai restaurant . It offers take out and dine in. The price was very reasonable. The server was friendly. The food was average. The beef curry was ok. The curry tasted good but the beef was bland. The meat was kinda not fresh. Loved the veggies inside. The fried veggie egg roll was good . With sweet and chile sauce made it inviting. The Thai basil duck was ok. Not too many duck meat but overpowered by veggies. Average Thai food but good effort by the chef. read more

I don't know what is going wrong this trip.. I always come to eat here .. with great anticipation when I visit Auckland.. But this time I ordered my favourite duck meal.. It was around $28 and i honestly only had 4-5 small pieces of duck! The rest was cabbage and a few bok choy.. I was so hungry and I just left feeling like it was not the Thai street eatery I was expecting.. This place is usually very good portions and taste.. like blow your mind good.. but this trip left me feeling like I may need to find my Thai duck somewhere else.. definitely a big let down..as I searched endless for a small little sliver of meat.. until I finally just removed every large piece of cabbage and realised I had finished the duck in the first 2 tablespoons spoons unexpectedly.. as I was inundated in cabbage... I know food is expensive.. but this was beyond disappointing.. I'd say the total duck amount was the least amount of duck I had ever received from any where.. I had been talking about my meal allll day! And then major disappointment read more

$16 lunch menu - choice of main with rice. (Clear broth soup mentioned on menu was not served) We got the Som Tam (papaya salad) and a "Too hot to handle" lunch set. Incredibly average food, similar quality to food court food. Totally edible and tasted okay. Wouldn't return for the service either. Our waitress wasn't happy and could barely manage a smile. I would describe the atmosphere inside the restaurant as tense and uninviting. read more

Pretty good food - not bad not great. They didn't offer any NA wine only NA beer . Nice staff.

Every thai place I've tried so far in Oceania has had excellent tom yum soup (this restaurant included). Bursting with flavor and just plain good. With their other dishes, they are hit and miss. The som tum salad was a little bitter. It was probably the papaya. The dressing did not blend well with the vegetables. The pad thai is completely fine and dandy. If you order the appetizer sampler, the chicken satay is wonderful (one of the best I've ever had), but the fried dumpling that looked like a money bag had too much onion in it. I think this place has a fun open atmosphere where you can just chill and people watch. Friendly service. Just pick your items carefully. It's pretty much 50/50 on whether it will be completely amazing or blah. read more

Todt Mun Pla Green Curry of Tofu Emerald Duck Tom Yum Gong Cozy on a blustery night in Auckland. The restaurant manager, diligent and friendly, remembered us from the last visit. We like this place . Unpretentious and fun. Near the action of Wynyard quarter. The Emerald Duck and the Tofu green curry were the winners. Very good. Lots of fresh veggies in both. rex's read more

Thai Street - Thai Near Me - Auckland, AUK

In Auckland, it's not always easy to find affordable places that feel like a "proper" sit-down dinner. Dominion Road is great for that quick bite, but at the end of the night we always find ourselves restaurant hopping or going to somewhere else for drinks. So I'm quick to share when I find a good place for food and ambience. First of all, the name: Thai Street. No it is not on Thai Street. Don't enter it on the GPS. The name suggests authentic Thai street food. I like it, not fancy fusion or modern Thai food but the heart warming and satisfying Thai cuisine that I always crave. While I wouldn't say it's street food, it's the same good quality you would find at their partner restaurants Grasshopper and Mai Thai in Auckland CBD. As well as your average beers and wines, the cocktail and mocktail list gives you plenty of choice. With the mocktails being only $6.50 I ended up having 2! I'd recommend the coconut one on the left, creamy and dense, it's not your average drink you can order at other places. Be careful not to drink it all before dinner like I did though.. There were big satisfying pieces of pork belly in the dish. I had to ask for a knife to to make my way through it. If your group likes sharing plates, I'd recommend this, otherwise it can get too rich to eat alone as a main. I wished I could stomach more coconut rice with this because the combo is to love. The sauce was sweet and the pork and potatoes inside was totally soaked through. The pad thai was a little average and mass produced. A generous dousing of chilli sauce was my tame attempt to dress it up but I couldn't do much more. The other food like curries were flavoursome and plenty of fresh veggies came with the Emerald Duck. I'd recommend Thai Street for the price vs value in a good location. Like other restaurants in Wynyard Quarter, it's worth booking before going. The staff were friendly and attentive and you can stay long enough to have a drink after. Have a try and let me know what you think! read more

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Maybe it was just because I was dining today at 11am, but I was served cold leftover pad thai with added cold, not mixed in prawns at the bottom of the clump of cold, undercooked noodles. Worst Pad Thai I have ever eaten. Nice decor drew me in, terrible food has me never returning. read more

This restaurant Thai Street is located in a fun area with lots of other restaurants and bars nearby. I went with a friend and we ordered lots of dishes to share. First we started with the crispy spring rolls then we ordered the green chicken curry which was fantastic also tofu pad Thai Noodles. The wine selection also good. read more

Thai Street is operated by the same people who own Mai Thai on Victoria Street West, Grasshopper on Albert Street and the Red Crab restaurants. I have eaten at Grasshopper before and the food was good, so have been keen to try out Thai Street for ages. Three of us went there for dinner two weeks ago. We had had a full on day out at NZ Fashion Week and were holding out for some yummy comfort food. Thai Street was an obvious choice as it is very close to the Viaduct Events Centre. On arrival, you first notice how open the restaurant is and that it is right on the street. It is surrounded by large glass windows, so it makes it interesting to look inside at the diners and the kitchen when you walk past. If you are dining, it is a great place to 'people watch' if you are into that sort of thing - I am! We got there around 8pm and were extremely lucky to get a table! Had we been any earlier or later, we would have missed out. They were completely full. We would have had to of sat outside! Because it was a very cold night, we would have gone to another restaurant. We first ordered drinks. My two dining companions ordered white wine, both of which they really enjoyed. I, however, rarely drink wine, but was intrigued by their cocktail list. All the cocktails are priced at $13.50, which is very reasonable compared to other bars/restaurants in the Auckland CBD area! I ordered the 'Weekend Pick Up' which consisted of rum blended with fresh mint and lime, mango and passionfruit. When it arrived at the table, both the others were desperate to try it! It was a bright green colour and tasted absolutely delicious! I would come back to Thai Street just for this drink! We then ordered our meals. I wanted to order an entree as well, so chose the 'Fresh Spring Roll of cucumber, carrots, roasted duck and caramelised tamarind relish' ($3 for one) and a 'Golden Money Bag with lightly fried mince, prawns and mixed vegetables wrapped in pastry' ($2 for one). When they arrived, there was no fresh roll, instead a deep fried one. When I tried to get the attention of a waiter to tell them they mixed up the order, I was unsuccessful. Instead, I had to go up to the bar to tell them. One female waitress was the extremely apologetic and rushed to the kitchen as soon as possible to fix my order. A fresh spring roll was out in no time! The roll however did not excite me, partly because I thought it would be something like a Vietnamese summer roll, but I was wrong. Would not recommend ordering this. The money bag was average - I have had better at a Chinese restaurant at Food Alley in Albert Street. For mains, one friend ordered the 'Tom Po Tak' which is a seafood soup with prawns, mussels, fish, squid, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves ($17.50 for medium size, $21.50 for large size). It had a really nice flavour to it and the seafood was cooked perfectly. My other friend and I ordered the 'Pad Thai Goong Sod' which was Thai fried noodles with chicken, prawns and peanuts ($14.50). It was delicious! And a great portion! I would definitely recommend this Pad Thai. Overall, I would recommend Thai Street if you are after some reasonably priced and filling food. It was a great night because it was just what we were looking for - yummy and comforting food! read more

Thai restaurant by the same owners of Grasshopper and Mai Thai, if you were wondering. I ordered the chicken satay and the Flash in a Pan. The chicken satay was DELICIOUS, maybe the spice mix was different than Grasshopper, but I could eat those all day. The Flash in a Pan is just what it sounds like: a small serving of chicken, toasted cashews and veggies served with rice. I got it at a 2-star "Medium", but be careful with spiciness, as even a seasoned Thai food eater found this to be a tad hot. Not overbearing, just caught me off guard. read more

Thai Street - Padthai chicken - Thai Near Me - Auckland, AUK

Great little Thai restaurant! Situated in the Wynyard Quarter, Thai Street is one of the most affordable options around. And the food stacks up well to some of the better Thai joints I've been to around the globe. Not the absolute best, but a solid meal. We started with the chicken satays, and were hoping to get some of the fresh spring rolls. Unfortunately, we missed out on those, but the satay sauce alone was enough to hold us until our mains came along. The chicken was smothered in it, and it was tasty! We got the green chicken curry and a cashew chicken dish. Both were kind of what you expect from a decent Thai place. Very tasty, but the one thing I would prefer would be the use of a bit more chicken breast. All in all, a very nice meal and a very affordable option if you are near the harbor. read more

Along the main drag out in the Wynyard quarter, this Thai street food spot hits the mark. Affordable express lunch combos with fried spring rolls and a choice of mains ranging from chicken and cashews to pad see ew. The sauce is light - noodles not overly drenched in oil or too much sauce. Also nice indoor / outdoor flow when the weather is nice. Indoor decor also has character is a classy Thai sense that is consistent with the street food theme. read more

Shock horror!! We decided to venture from our usual scene of Chinese or Japanese restaurants and try this Thai one in Wynyard Quarter. We were not disappointed!!. Not quite " street " as the name would suggest but still not in the upper echelons of dining experience. But that is how we like it and even down to street level. We got there at around 12.30 or so on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was pretty quiet, no problem grabbing one of the tables just outside . Service was good , the waiter who brought menus and took order etc friendly and efficient. But in contrast a different waiteress who brought our food out never smiled and was surly to boot!! This is one of the points that I really pick on wiether it be in a fine dining place or back street diner....is how is the wait staffs manner towards you etc.Thus one star disappeared from my rating. In contrast to my once in a blue moon alcoholic drinking routine i ordered a Tiger beer ( my second beer in a week) and my other half a Virgin mango Mojito. Maybe because of my abstaining from such beverages the Tiger hit the spot well and truly and my other half enjoyed sipping on her Mojito. When it came to sampling what culinary delights they had on offer we ordered the Tiger Prawns ,Kumara Spring Rolls and Mellow Yellow which is a yellow curry of market fish with coconut cream, potatoes and capsicum. And to be honest we cannot fault any of the food we ate in any way . My Mellow Yellow was delicious and the Tiger prawns went down well with my other half. So overall was a good experience bar the waitresses attitude and would recommend to anyone. read more

Baby sister of the Mai Thai and Grasshopper restaurants, fans of these will not be disappointed with Thai Street. Menu is more limited than its big sisters but if you are in the area and need a Thai fix at a reasonable price with a nice ambience then this is the place. Great for kids too. read more

Really delicious Thai food including some northern Thai specialties. Friendly service. Great lunch deals!

Ordered takeaway Tom Yum soup for lunch as was really not happy. It was $15 for a lunch serving, so you're obviously expecting good food for that price. I ordered hot, but it wasn't spicy at all. It came in a little plastic tub that didn't have a lid (it was just wrapped in glad wrap) so it obviously spilled everywhere on the way back. The mushrooms were also undercooked. Finally, it took a very long time for them to make it - all up I wouldn't order it again and wouldn't risk ordering another dish either. read more

My experience here was great the service was good but above that they focus on what's really matters the taste, easily one of the best places I've been, alota of restaurants ficus on the presentation too much but Thai street got it right they have some of the best Thai in auckland. I would recommend a visit. read more

My partner ordered the minced chicken salad; she pushed it aside and said she couldn't eat it--so, thinking she was being precious, I tried it myself and gagged (not a word I usually use, because it's hyperbolic sounding, but in this case that's what happened--I had a good ol' gag reflex): not only was it too salty--it was like a salty vinegar cocktail, something you'd mix up and dare someone to drink it. I told the waiter that I was sorry but neither of us could eat it: it was too salty and vinegary, I said. A manager came over and said they wouldn't replace it but remake it to specification (less sour, more sweet). That might have been a sensible offer if (a) we hadn't already gagged and (b) the dish weren't so fundamentally lazy to begin with (a slab of uncooked cabbage; not "minced chicken" but chicken mince, which is distinctly different; coriander, and salt-vinegar Molotov cocktail) (c) the waitress didn't have that (understandable) "I don't really want to be working here" air about her and (d) the other dish ordered, tom yum, weren't sub-par (best thing about it were the butterflied prawns, but the soup base seemed a bit off to us both, too). At checkout the manager gave a 15% discount on the chicken mince, but that was less than a consolation prize for a near $40 waste of money. Maybe the chef at lunch is conserving energy and creative output for dinner or we came at a bad time. Who knows. But I don't take pleasure in writing bad reviews. I just hope they up their game. read more
