Yum!! Love this place! The fresh spring rolls are delicious! And the satay is very good too. And I have never ever managed to order a bad meal from this place…hope they stay! The service is also wonderful.

Been to Thailand heaps and have to agree this food is pretty authentic , it tastes like the real deal.
The funniest thing is it really felt like i was there, they have done a cool job of dressing it up, nice to see a good use put to the old shipping container, really brightened up the corner too.
Food was worth the wait, guess i waited a good 30mins for 5 dishes , all of which were really good, good food, cheerful and cheap, scores a 10/10 for me

This is such a fantastic little place, it really caught my eye driving past, i had to get a closer look so i went right back around the block to check it out, having read the previous reviews now, i have to agree, it’s best to phone order, i must have got their the same time as 30 others, lol, so waited a good 30mins for my meals , but now i realise that the wait was well worth it.

I had a Pad see Eiw chicken and the Tom Kha Gai, my husband settled for his same old Lamb massasman and boy we’re we pleasantly surprised, not only was the food absolutely fantastic but the owner of the business walked around giving people samples of her famous fresh spring rolls , which I’m now totally addicted to , my husband let out a grunt when i asked how his meal was, that is generally a good sign, so thank you for a delightful time and the food.

let me set the scene,

When we arrived there must have been 20 or more people standing around laughing and chatting, the centre of attention seemed to be coming from the caravan where one of the staff we’re telling the story of how they came to be there, turns out they are survivors of the earthquake which claimed their business in the city centre, generally i would never waffle on but these guys really deserve some recognition here for picking themselves up and carrying on, the cheerful and humorous banter helped everyone there forget about the time and i got a really good vibe there, this it is a place where people can go and enjoy each others company and great food even though we are all strangers it feels as if it pulls us all closer, the staff there we’re great, and so friendly, i can’t wait until they open their container, it really is becoming an icon in Christchurch , so many people love it and i see it all over other peoples face book pages, OK so don’t just take my word for it, go and try it just once to find out about the magic that I’m talking about.

It’s really really good food and it’s at a really good price.

Good on you
KIA KAHA Guys

I got to say, very cheap price for a thai meal. for $10 you can get a filling feed and it tastes great as well.

my fav dishes from this place is Tofu with basil, plenty of vegetable!

I also love the fresh spring rolls, especially their home made sauce for it, can’t have enought of that.

Before i go into detail, one very important thing to note about this cute and tasty food, The wait can be long around dinner time, i learnt this after the first time i ordered food here and waited nearly 45mins, but the food was certainly worth the wait and the cheerful conversation mixed in with a horde of other people kinda passed the time anyway, but be warned, phone or txt orders are the way to go with this place.

OK, now about the food…..
I was driving home down Bealey ave when i noticed the footpath sign, Thai Food, yummy, i thought i would ty it out, it wasn’t until i got to the caravan that i realised these are the same guys that had my favourite little spot in the city so i was instantly happy to see that they had carried on doing what they do best eve after loosing everything in the earthquake, well needless to say i ordered my meal which consisted of 1 BBQ Beef Salad and some fresh spring rolls, (god ive missed those)
I was told there was about a 30min wait which almost put me off, but hey, good thai food is hard to come by , but great thai is worth waiting for, so i chose to wait, and engaged in light banter with a whole lot of the hospital staff from next door, very busy little place, i love what they have done with the whole graffiti art , it’s like a bamboo forest, it looks so neat.

The food was of course absolutely fabulous and so fresh, i was tempted to pull over and eat it in the car , but i made it home and just loved it soo much i wanted to share this with you all, but keep in mind if you dont want to wait then it would pay to txt the order in , i have been back at least onc or twice a week now for the past 3 weeks, and love it so much, good on you girls for keeping the thai food alive, i love your work, and your food, mwah
thanks for saving my taste buds

love Thai food, and have ever since i traveled through Thailand, it’s hard to find the authentic taste so when i do i rave about it,
i found these guys on Bealey ave setup in a caravan after loosing their inner city restaurant, good on them for making the best out of a bad situation, and much too my surprise the food was really really good, i was waiting and listening to others to hear what the favorite dishes were but they had too many, i noticed a lot of medical staff eating there so guess it cant be too bad.
I ordered a chicken pad Thai and the satay sticks for my husband and i had the BBQ beef salad and some fresh spring rolls.

my hubby smashed back both his dishes in about 10mins and then went and ordered another lot of the satay sticks to take home, so he is in love with the place now .
My BBQ beef salad so surprisingly quite filling so i only managed to get into the spring rolls when we got home, they were SO yummy , and so healthy i couldn’t believe you could make food that healthy be so tasty

I drive past everyday and if i could afford it i would quit cooking an let these girls do it for me and my family.

I highly recommend them.

Great Food, great taste

This place gets better and better every time i come down , the Container looks fabulous and they have certainly put in a real effort to continue to trade after losing their restaurant , there are some new surprises on the meu so i tried a couple of the new dishes and im addicted, im kicking my kitchen out of the house and eating there every night, still need to phone order ahead to avoid any que, but they have put down big kick ass communal tables for everyone to sit at, almost has a dux de lux feeling to it, im loving and and the food.

Sincerely, try their food once and you’ll be hooked for life, i am.

Thanks Guys


10/10, Well Done!!!
It is so refreshing to eat traditional Thai Food, and these ladies are really amazing with their fresh and delicious inventions, some seating out in the sun a nice smooth green curry and their wonderful fresh spring rolls
This has been the best lunch ever, and good on them for making the best out of all the bad things here in Christchurch.

Way to go!

p.s. this place has relocated from the city to the corner of Bealey Ave and Caledonian road, went hunting into the city looking for them after reading the other reviews, glad i did to, it was well worth it.

” Yummy”

They have some beautiful Curry’s here, the Green Curry was absolutely Delicious , and they have these traditional freshly made spring rolls, I’m eating them everyday nearly.

il never get sick of their food.

WOW, I have finally found gold, this little inner city food hall is a well presented well lit getaway for people who love Asian food, Isarn Thai is undoubtedly the best Thai takeaway in the city, they display Cuisine and Restaurant reviews about there food which shows the confidence in their natural and traditional style of cooking and Asian fusion art.

The food is fresh and full of flavour, high on my list is the award winning Fresh Spring rolls, and dipping sauce, i buy these daily.

There Curry’s are beautiful and also high on my list ,

Friendly staff , great food, reasonably priced, not the spot for a romantic getaway but if you love Thai food, you’re gonna love this
