One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to in Auckland. Service was great. Relaxed atmosphere. Amazing food. Bottomless rice. BYO. Loved it.
Great food but very cold inside and the bright lighting took away all ambiance. One tiny heater is insufficient for the size of the restaurant. Shame!
My wife and myself have been eating here for the past 6 months we head down from Albany from time to time or if I am working late I’ll make it an effort to grab some takeaway, anyway we decided to dine in on Valentines day, we where lucky to get a table as it was pretty busy that night, considering it was busy I think the staff did well to provide my wife and myself some pretty good service, one of the staff members could speak pretty good English She helped explain some menu options as we wanted to experience more about Thai food, she gave us some wonderful advice on wines as we ordered a few spicy options. The food is unlike other Thai restaurants out there, the flavour I reckon is more authentic unlike some places where they tend to over sweeten the dishes, we visited Thailand last year and we now know the difference in food and quality now, we even received some advice on where to go places next time we go back to visit Thailand, if your looking for your taste buds liven up well ours sure have, we will be sure to drop in real soon.
We eat here several times a year and have introduced others to this restaurant. All in all this is my favourite Thai restaurant. We drive across the Shore to get there. The food is not oversalted, a common failing of others and the balance of the elements, sweet, sour,salty, bitter etc are just right. Since the male waiter left the service is a little haphazard. Be firm and clear with your choices. I’m sure they mean well, just a little vacant sometimes.
Tasty thai and a good selection. They do like to close early though!
Thai Isaan have a lot to learn about customer service, false advertising, and flexability. On their website it states that min delivery order is $30 so after my order is placed for $41. I am told the min has changed to $45 and they haven’t had time to change their website. After a discussion in regards to this they told me that they will ring me back. They rang back 15 min later informing me that they would come if I paid cash or cheque, I asked for the payment option of credit card over the phone. They told be that this was not possible due to the fees and hung up on me. I have been to Thailand and had better service from a non-english speaking local in a tent with a gas cooker.
Generally very good, but there is often a lack of consistency in the quality and portion sizes of the items. For example, some times the Pad Thai is full of chicken and shrimp while other times there is only a sliver of chicken and shrimp. Even at its worst though, it is better than the other two Thai places in Birkenhead.
