    I picked this restaurant as one to visit while still planning my holiday in Ohope.After reading the reviews I was put off, but as this evening was a beautiful evening and we wanted to sit outside and enjoy the location and views we decided to risk it a visit. We ordered an entree to start with and so enjoyed it decided to stay for the main meal, again a pleasurable experience. I can not stress too much how much we enjoyed the experience and will be back. (we have visited Thailand and eaten Thai food in many places so do have a comparison)

    We dined at Sea Thai on Saturday night and couldn’t tell if it was open or not as there was no one in the restaurant. The owner was pleasant and the view is stunning. We sat outside and felt a little outcast when the owners shut the doors on us. Found this a little unwelcoming.Unfortunately, my partners Red Scallop Curry did not taste like a red curry should. My meal of Ginger Chicken was nice however was quite a small portion.I must admit my wine tasted slightly odd but I did not send it back. Once my fiance found an ant in his rice, he couldn’t eat anymore and we did bring this to the owners attention so he could check his stock. This place has so much potential, but they need to hire someone that can cook Thai food well, spruce up the daycour and give the place a good clean to ensure extra nasties aren’t lurking in the food.

    I took my family to this restaurant. It has a lovely location, but it stops there. The service was not great, but that could be because the waitress was new and that can be forgiven. However, this was the worst Thai food i have ever tasted and that is saying something. I have eaten in Thailand and in Thai restaurants in New Zealand and this was not Thai cooking. We ordered three meals and all were as bad as each other. The portions were small (thankfully on this occasion i did not mind as it tasted terrible) and it was expensive especially for the quality of the food. I would never go back again.

    We came here because it was my partner’s birthday. What a let down it was!! We walked in and sat down at a table. There were lots of stacked up chairs sitting in the corner which was not a good look for a restaurant. Also the lighting was very bright and needed to be dimmed for a more intimate dining experience. The music playing was Kiwi music which was nice but considering it was a Thai restaurant some Asian music would have been more suited. The decor inside lacked appeal – thank goodness for the awesome view outside. Our entrees arrived, and looked like they had been thrown on the plate with no garnish – where’s the LOVE!!! The mains arrived and again another disappointment. The duck was very rubbery. Both mains were well OVER-PRICED for what you got – which was very little, and to top it off you had to pay an extra $2.50 for rice per person!!! Not a pleasant dining experience and definitely wont be back!! I should have read MenuMania before making this booking!! Lesson learnt!!

    We often come to Ohope for our breks and during the holidays we brought some American friends with us and all of us went to eat at Sea Thai restarant-Well the food was deliciousand beautifuuly presented and arrived in a very timely manner considering the size of our party-20 people-in fact we came 3 times(2x for restaurant meals and 1x for takeaways) and it was great every time.Our American friends said this restaurnt compares favorably with what they have back in the States and are looking forward to coming back-in addition, the restaurant has a comments book which is packed with cooemts which accord with ours

    Worst Thai I have ever had. Do I have to give it even a star???? Owner full of himself. we got takeaways. Ony 2/3rds full. Meat tough. Hardly any vegies. Rice was ok!!!!!!! Dark so could not enjoy the view which would be the best part. If anyone wants Thai I suggest they drive to Rotorua and go to Wild Rice. Great Thai food there. I think decor tacky. Whole place is tacky.

    I totally agree, not even worth one star. I have eaten Thai many times (including in Thailand) and this to me was not Thai food! I had a Tom Kha veg soup which looked and tasted like a can of coconut cream with some veggies floating in it. I read an earlier comment on this site that I assume was posted by the owner or relative of the owner who said that the chefs are Thai themselves. Surely then they would know how to make a basic Thai soup? My 2 friends were also disappointed with their bland, ridiculously overpriced meals. To add to our dining pleasure (not) we were greeted by a dead mouse caught in a trap under the couch. yuck! that put me right off my coconut cream soup! Yes the views are lovely, but you’d be better off to bring your own meal to the wharf to enjoy it! After some time had passed I thought I would give Sea Thai a second chance with the takeaway menu (I am a local and it was pizza Louis day off), paid over $80 for 4 meals (containers half full) of more bland coconut cream and bits of so-called meat. If your visiting Ohope and want takeaways, go to Pizza Louis parked outside the Mobil (best pizza ever- and yes I have travelled Europe!), if not- ohiwa fish and chips or go over the hill for other takeaways.
