If you’re taking out elderly relatives who don’t normally eat Thai food, here would be great- its very un-threatening and non-exotic. Yawn.
I guess people who come here a lot don’t eat at other Thai places. We eat Thai all the time, and this place just doesn’t have good food. Its OK. Any little local place does as good or better, so all you’re paying for is the decor, which isn’t any better than somewhere like Tom Yum- which happens to have superb food at 1/3 the price.

Went here on New Years Eve and they were terribly busy and understaffed. Can hardly hold this against them considering the night. So, of course service was not so good. A table of 6 all ordering beer and spirits only served drinks twice.
For entree we all had mixed platters. For main I had the Larb Sawan –
Minced chicken, beef, pork or duck seasoned with spices, lemon juice and toasted ground rice served with salad.
I had never tried it before and it was delicious. Quite spicy for me since I can’t handle spicy food but it was a refreshing type of spice – the lemon juice balanced it nicely and the helping was huge.
Everyone was happy with the food.
Unfortunately we were seated out the back in the ugly conservatory but once again it was because of the night.
We were lucky to get a booking and I’m sure another visit would be an entirely different experience. Lovely food.

Normally always good food here, but I had stuck to chicken and prawns in the past. Tried Red curry with beef… Big mistake. Beef chewy and tough!! Could not eat meat, luckily good amount of veggies kept me full. Staff not bothered by feedback and I had to challenge paying for that dish, they took half of reluctantly.
Tom yum, & larb yummy, other meats duck chicken & pork cooked nicely.

I love the decoration, i even took pictures from the ceiling, the food is really good, we had an entree, 2 mains and dessert and everything was delicious, even if you don’t know what to order i can assure you everything would be delicious, the uniforms of the people working there make you feel on vacations!
I’ll definitively go to Thailand on vacations now!!!

Dined here last night, service was amazing, we ordered cocktails entrees and mains at the same time, within minutes the cocktails were brought out to us and very well designed and tasted amazing, moments later our entrees arrived and they were also amazing. Less than 15Min’s later our mains arrived and the chicken meal I ordered was just the best Thai food I have ever had, my partner ordered a lamb and cashew meal from their favourites menu and it even better than my tasty meal. We would have spend less than 1 hour there. Decor is fantastic. Its warm and the service was just amazing, I will definitely go back for meal here!

Great restaurant with fantastic decor. Great food, Only thing that let me down was that the Mild was very hot. Otherwise great restaurant.
I’ve eaten here on many occasions and the staff are friendly, and the food is of a good quality. Its not the best thai I have had but consistent.
The best Thai restaurant that I’ve been to for some time, the food was excellent as was the service. The staff are friendly, knowledgable and efficient. The menu covered everything that I wanted and a lot more, I tried a new dish on each occasion that I went ther, three in all, and each time the food was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Service and decor was excellent, but the business lunch ‘reheated’ set menu option was a taste let down.

Wife and I went at lunchtime. Was informal, relaxed and not packed at all. The service was of a high standard, the staff polite, friendly and on the ball.
We ordered from the main menu. Food was of an excellent standard: menu indications of hot/mild were spot on.
Starters: Chicken Satays & Prawn cakes. Both were perfectly cooked and presented.
Mains: Beef & Potato curry with rice & Thai Fried noodles. There was as much rice as you wanted to have with several servings of it if you so wish! All was very tasty and the meat perfectly tender.
Deserts: Coconut ice-cream & glutenous rice, Custard cake and vanilla ice-cream. Both deserts excellent – loved the chilled coconut with the warm and slightly salted rice. Perfectly executed dishes and presented well.
Coffee: short black and latte. Both very good. Presentation of short black was exquisite.
Drinks: 1 beer, plenty of chilled water.
Bill: $94. There are $15 & $19 lunch options too.
We’d go back again. It is a bit pricey but it is also a cut above the other eateries in the area.
The one slight gripe was that the interior is beautifully presented but we were put into the less attractive ‘lean to’ conservatory area at the back. Didn’t seem necessary as there were plenty of other tables where we could have been sat. We could have asked to be re-seated but decided not to. Wasn’t a major thing but did stop this review from being a 5star one.
Would happily eat there again – it’s a place for a special treat rather than just a lunchtime date/meeting with friends.

We always got o Mai Thai as normally there food is real nice and the service is real good…however we went to Mai Thai on 22/12/08 and I asked for my meal which is normally 2 chillis on the spice factor to be reduced to a 1. When I got my food it was so spicy that it was burning my lips, so I sent back advising it was way too spicy. I got my food straight away and took one mouth full and thought this is good, went to get another only to find that there was hair in my food. So once again I sent it back. This little man came out and asked me what was wrong with my food all the while twirling what looked to be the hair in my food around his finger. So explained why I sent the food back twice then he asked me to pick another meal coz I didn’t like what I had ordered. I always order this dish (9.10) and have never had an issue with it before. It also looked like he was trying to match the hair that was found with ours as if we had planted it in the food. No apologies or anything. Very poor experience…needless to say I will not be going back to Mai Thai anytime soon
We have dined several times and as a NZ maori we absolutely loved the food and the great service we received. Thai food is exceptionally tasty and low fat which is a bonus considering NZ food is mostly processed garbage. I have tried to cook Thai food at home but somehow it just doesnt have the same flavors & taste as dining out. Love your restaurant and the outstanding service from your team. Have recommended your restaurant to others who have also dined several times. We recently had a large birthday group there of which we all loved the experience.
