  • Had the chicken cashew nut — really tasty with tender chicken, plenty of cashews, and a well-balanced sauce. Fresh, generous portions and nicely presented. The staff were very friendly and checked in to see if everything was okay. I mentioned it wasn’t spicy enough and the waiter came back with chilli, joking “not too much”… I added it all Would happily order this again next time I’m back in Rotorua.

  • Amazing food quite literally- coz me n my partner definitely overate. It’s so hard to come by good Thai food. I ordered the noodle soup n green curry jasmine rice. They allow u to manage the spice level which is perfect, and have great vegan/ vegetarian options. An extra token of appreciation for the sweet host, and the speedy service. Must try if you are a fan of Thai cuisine!

  • Great Thai restaurant, a gem well done to the team there on a busy evening. Great service. Loved the Sizzling Lamb Rack and Yum Woon sen. Good drink options too.

  • Absolutely loved our meal here! The presentation was beautiful every dish came out looking fresh and vibrant, with lovely touches like the carved carrot garnish. The crispy pork belly with rice was perfectly cooked crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. The Pad Thai was authentic, well-balanced, and not overly sweet, with generous portions of chicken and fresh bean sprouts. The service was warm and friendly, and the food arrived quickly. The restaurant had a relaxed, clean atmosphere perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving genuine Thai flavors and great value for money.

  • Wow. We have been all over the world and this is the best Thai food we have had (other than in Thailand). We tried the Thai fried rice, Tom yum fried rice and the green curry - AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE. Very authentic flavour, a beautiful rich mix of authentic Thai flavours, reasonable price and friendly staff. I am genuinely amazed.

  • Amazing place! Not very busy, so we were surprised that the food was so fast and so excellent. We split three dishes and all were delicious. A busker played really nice music outside and the decor was beautiful. Thanks!

  • Amazingly quick service, the food came out in what felt like 5 minutes and we got two prompt check ins to make sure we were happy, good touch. The lamb shank red curry was to die for. So much sauce and somehow I managed to clean the plate, I could have licked the plate clean but stopped myself. Tender meat, I gnawed the shank bone clean at the end. Creamy, slightly sweet, flavourful fragrant sauce with a great variety of tender veggies to boot. Perfection. Partner's pad Thai was great too
