The food was not authentic and has no flavour. It's like they use flavour packets purchased at supermarkets in their cooking. The waiters also really …

Golden Bell is a Thai restaurant located in the heart of Nelson, on a street that seems overloaded with Asian restaurants for some reason, specifically Thais. I tried this one on a whim, I came across their sign and thought why not try it. I was a bit reticent at first, due to the fact that their lunch special is amongst one of the lowest priced in Nelson- And, I have had bad experiences with cheaper priced restaurants in certain areas of New Zealand, specifically in the dreadful town of Timaru. But, I digress and I did not go to Golden Bell at lunch time either; I went there at dinner time. I had the Phad Thai with Tofu, which was priced at $20, although their website clearly has it priced at $19.50. The waiter was helpful and polite. I did not have to wait for my food too long and the portion size was generous. I thought the cooked tofu seemed a bit chewy and queried the waiter about it. He told me that this is how cooked Tofu is supposed to taste like. Since I have only ever had it raw, I could NOT possibly contradict him. My only recommendations are to update the pricing on their website and get new menus, since some pages were falling down from my one.
Favourite Thai place in Nelson.Favourite dishes here: sizzling king prawns, Pad Thai, and the traditional soup noodles in the lunch menu!Friendly and attentive service. Hope to be back 🙂
This beautifully furnished restaurant has friendly staff, a decent selection and fair prices. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. I would love to come here again in the future.
3 of us went here on a busy night to celebrate a birthday . Soup as a starter was full of flavour and excellent . The mains were all delicious and served by a friendly and hard working waitress .The place was comfortable with a nice atmosphere . Was a little noisy towards the end of the evening as this restaurant is rightly popular . Would recommend and will return but maybe avoid Friday and Saturday nights .
I have been to this restaurant many times and each time the service and the food just gets better. It is always consistently good. No wonder the place is always packed and hard to get a reservation without a booking. Best Thai Restaurant in town. Brought takeaways the other night and just as lovely. Well done you! You have never let your standards down from day one. You holiday makers do not leave this town without trying this wonderful restaurant!
Now I’ve just got back to England and I had been to Nelson visiting relatives when the idea came up of going for a meal. Your restaurant came up and I must admit that it was the best experience of the trip. You and your staff are a credit to the business and Gail if I could would pack you in my suitcase and bring you home as I’ve not met anyone with the amount of customer service as you in all my travels thanks again and ill definitely pass your name on.
We have just been for lunch. Little bit disappointed with service to start with… there were people who seemed to be staff wondering around but did not acknowledge us till we actually stopped someone and asked for a table. The place can do with a good tidy-up and furniture replacement. Anyways, we ordered from the lunchmenu and food actually arrived promptly. Tasted good too. I think the waiting staff and general cleanliness is letting this place down. We will be back again to get take away.
