It’s such a pity that some people have posted such negative reviews about Soul Thai based on incidents where the customer is so obviously at fault, not the restaurant. Someone trying to call Soul Thai using a phone number that a voucher company had misprinted, and angrily blaming Soul Thai for the rude stranger on the other end of the mystery number?
And people that clearly do not read the terms and conditions of vouchers they purchase, and then blaming the establishments they try to use them at. If a voucher states ‘one per person’, then common sense would tell you that each person would need to be there to redeem them. I have never come across a one per person voucher which enabled me to redeem more than one at a time, for people who aren’t even there. It makes no sense.
People need to have a better grip on reality before posting such rash reviews, judge by standard of service received, not by whether or not your dining experience was marred by your own stupidity.

I made an internet order tonight and my partner has an intolerance to wheat so ordered the duck salad, I ordered the pad see ew.
When it arrived we realised the duck was battered (the menu did not mention this) so she called and asked the owner if there was anything that they could do. He said no because we did not state anything about an intolerance. Now this is not the end of the world, although it would have been nice for them to do something even though they were not technically in the wrong.
My pad see ew, however, was horrible. The chicken was dry and the noodles were chewy and burnt.
I will not be returning to soul thai, instead will be going to a much tastier and cheaper alternative at Ruk thai in the Ponsonby food court.

So we went back again with our voucher, this time it was ‘okay’ – my pad thai was a little gluggy.
We have just been back again and this is probably the second worst Pad Thai I’ve ever had… chicken is flavourless, the noodles are sticky and gluggy, the roti I had was like a lukewarm doughy/pasty pancake, and we’ve just discovered that you don’t get rice with your curry main so my partner has a pitifully sized curry that cost us $14. He has reported the curry is nice though… doesn’t save the whole experience for me unfortunately. I won’t go back when Ponsonby Foodcourt is 3 minutes up the road with Ruk Thai goodness.

However, it all starts when i get home to sit down with my partner to what should have been a main. When we pulled out the two very small containers, we looked at each other and couldnt believe our eyes. Never ever have we seen or paid so much for such a tiny main. Now I know its all about the quality and the oils they use etc etc, but come on for petes sakes, my 10 year old son would have eaten that for his dinner let alone a grown womman and a very hard working bloke who has just worked a 16 hour shift.
Both our dishes looked the same despite the orders being different, and while the food was excellent quality, where was the rest of the meal? we are both hungry still and we arent exactly HUGE eaters, we love thai and have dined at alot of thai places.
I called just to give them my feedback, and i think they guy was a bit defensive and started pointing out ALL the reasons why they push out 1500 mains per week, why they get a large number of compliments on the portions and what oils they use which pushes the price up and that they very rarely (if ever) get complaints about their portion sizes. I felt like he wanted to debate everything, and i didnt ask for anything or demand they change anything but he kept saying that they focus on quality and they will never ever be about qauntity and maybe i should try ponsonby road, ill find even smaller meals? seriously now.
Huge let down, seeing as their food was very nice, and they were really friendly and professional up til then. Im am still gob smacked that they even call that a main meal and charge people that.

The owner told me that I could not use my 3 spreets vouchers as only my mum and I were there and the THIRD person needed to be there also. Really. Was i realistically going to order 3 portions of food and 3 entres for just me and mum if I wasnt going to eat it? You’d think that I’d just go back another day for dinner and not waste it. He then said to me in a rather hostile way ‘You have to read these things properly’
How absolutely rude.
First off.. It says ‘One per person’
It DOES NOT say ‘Everyone must be present when redeeming vouchers’ or along those lines.
Secondly, it WAS for 3 people, the 3rd person was busy and couldn’t make it.
Thirdly, WHAT A STUPID CATCH. ESPECIALLY since it’s a takeaway shop and not even a dine-in restaurant so to make EVERYONE show up just to grab some takeaways is absolutely ridiculous.
Fourthly, the owner then went on to say that this condition was made as ‘people come in with 10 vouchers’ Honestly. Would a person really use 10 vouchers for themselves in one go?
I also asked the owner “So if i return in half an hour.. I can use the third voucher?”
To which he replied “Yes I would honorably take your voucher if you were to return in half an hour”
So…… I waited 20 minutes for my first lot of food. Then I’d have to wait for 30 minutes, use my third voucher to order my next lot of food and wait for another 20 minutes before it was ready? I’m sorry but that’s 50 minutes after the first set of food was ordered and by then, it would be cold so would be totally pointless.
The stools they had there had no support and were too high.. So high that my mum literally fell off the stool, onto the ground and injured her knee.
The owner actually argued with me, extremely poor customer service. Needless to say, I am absolutely outraged.
The food wasnt great. And im not saying this because i am furious. Pad Thai was too bland, fish cakes were too salty and chicken satay sticks were tough.
If I could have given this place ZERO STARS I would have.
In response to your post, my mother was NOT half sitting, you wouldn’t know as you were busy standing behind the counter talking to another staff member, and yes, I remember because I happened to be staring at you after your rudeness. Secondly, the ‘staff member’ was in fact the owner, and i know this because he smugly told me so, which is sad for the business considering if the owner is behaving in such a manner, it doesn’t say much about the business. And thirdly.. You have had nearly a third of your reviews so far stating that you deliver a bad attitude, hostile and rude. Your inability to take criticism and jump to defenses and then rudeness is laughable especially as you try to make excuses for yourself. Learn the meaning of customer service, you’re a joke.

I think the food is okay, portions small, and overpriced. My red curry was way too sweet with the portion size of a 2 minute cup noodle. Thai food is my favourite and I’ve had Thai food in 17 places around Auckland. Sorry, Soul Thai you’re not even my top ten. Free delivery? Not really if you have to order two items lol Oddly priced so that I have to order two things and the 7 dollar items are not my cup of tea. There are 8 dollar pad thais in dodgy food courts on k-road that tasted better with more bang for the buck! Oh and after specific instructions not to ring my neighbours doorbell, yeah they got the address wrong and woke up my elderly neighbours. Thanks, won’t be eating from you ever again and neither will any of my friends. Good luck lol!
