    For one the atmosphere looks pretty posh. Second the food has a good kick of ginger and spices but the balance is spot on. The price of the food for a joint like this is verry cheap. I'll be back for more with some drinks too. Keen to try out the cocktails but awesome Thai food and service.. thanks guys 😊

    Great Thai and fusion food. Always busy. It's our regular go to Thai restaurant. It can be quite noisy when it's fully booked out.

    Have been there many times before and have enjoyed the foods however, we were there last night, and ordered a few dishes. My daughter ordered fried snapper and it was salty and we have informed them it is hard to eat , then waitress took it back, I asked their chef to taste it, after 3-4 minutes Waitress brought it back salty snapper all the dressing / sauce has removed. What you guys have to understand is people go out to enjoy a meal and even though we explained it was salty , I did not feel you guys want to take responsibility. I think this is not good enough.

    Food is great with an excellent value lunch menu. Overall only 4 stars as the dinner menu prices are on the high side. My wife loves the Pineapple fried rice. Good service with a nice atmosphere suitable for groups also.

    Have been going here since my eldest was a two year old (he's now almost 16). It was known then as Mekong Nua. Even when they changed their name, their offerings and service have only become better. I have only nice things to say. Very pleasant owners and crew too! Thank you.

    Amazing Thai restaurant in New Lynn. The food had lots of flavour and portions were generously sized. I had the red curry with duck which was great. Very friendly service.

    We came to celebrate my dad’s birthday and we had a great time! Service was excellent, the food was flavourful and had lots of veggies. The portions were pretty good for the price. We got the pranam with chicken, pineapple fried rice with beef, massaman beef curry, soft shell crab, two bowls of rice and deep fried snapper. The beef in the curry was very tender, the soft shell crab was crunchy but also juicy and not oily at all. Personally, I think the pineapple fried rice needs just a bit more pineapple flavour but overall it was still delicious. The deep fried snapper was crispy but not oily and there was a decent amount of meat as well and some hidden veggies underneath the fish 😍 The pranam was my favourite as it had this flavour in cantonese we call it wok hei and it really elevates the dish. The attentive front of house crew gave us some plates, spoons and even a cake knife for our cake at the end of our meal and helped us take photos too. My parents were very happy with the experience. There are still a lot of things I’d like to try so I will definitely be back!

    Tried Prawns Pad Thai, Green curry and 3 other dishes. All the food were really tasty & reasonably priced. The staff are all friendly & the restaurant is tidy & clean. Lovely to find this Thai restaurant in New Lynn & we will love to go back.

    Excellent food, service and ambiance. Couldn't fault the place. Had several dishes: Spring rolls, pork and chicken with macadamia nuts and each tasted delicious. Staff are friendly and it's a great location with parking around the back. Highly recommend it to all.

    Have now visited twice now - great flavourful food, neat and clean and super prompt service! I am vegan and they promptly agreed to make all the dishes vegan for my table. Even though we were a party of 4 the first time and 6 on the fathers day the taste and service sizes were consistent. My compliments to the chef! You won't be dissappointed!

    Foodie wife says authentic Tom yum soup (not from paste!) and delicious beef roti curry (premium steak cuts not stewed cheap cuts!). We’ll be back for the lunch menu!

    The best pad Thai in Auckland ( for my opinion and I’m from Thailand. The price is a little on the high side for the suburb, which is the only criticism. yet great service and food

  • 3/5 Khurram A. 2 years ago on Google
    Can potentially become a very good Thai restaurant but had a long way to go. The curry puffs were really good and right up there with the best. Ordered chicken basil stir fry and beef panang curry as mains. Both the dishes were quite average and lacked the chicken and beef in them for a main. The beef cut used for panang curry was stir fry thinly sliced cut which isn't something you use with a curry. Atleast never had that in any other Thai restaurants. There was way too much onion in the chicken dish and quite strong too for my taste. The service and ambiance were quite good so full marks for that.

    Food was great! Will definitely go back again to try more food. Pork skewers were the best from the meals we got. Atmosphere was good but music could be better.

  • 4/5 Nupur R. 4 years ago on Google
    We had the jungle curry, cashew stir-fry and money bag. The flavours were good, and so was the presentation. Our curry came with a little burner so it kept it warm, which was perfect considering the cold weather outside! The staff was on to it, bringing rice right as we were about to run out! Lovely place, would recommend.

    I've been here a could of times, and was trolls the first time they make probably the best Pad Thai around. Yeah... Sure.. However, I was told the truth! The Pad Thai is so good! I've had the beef and the chicken, and me return had a seafood one. We left very satisfied with full bellies!! Thanks team!!! Will be back 🤗

    Amazing food, great friendly service. Limited indoor seating, and outdoor seating available. Recommended to reserve a table in advance. Should rent the empty building next door and expand.

    On the expensive side for a what it is. Atmosphere is nice enough and it's warm. It's not at all bad.. Just not great either.

    Grilled Steak Green Curry is amazing! Drunken Spicy Duck is yum too. Seafood Tom yum is just average. A bit noisy. Nice drink and good service.

    Really yummy food. I have only had takeout, but each time the food has been really nice - the pad thai is very good, as are the pork skewers and curries. Decent amount of heat if you ask for it. Points off for price (just a bit too expensive).

  • 5/5 Liam F. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely restaurant with incredible food and friendly staff. There isn’t anything explicitly vegan on the menu, but the staff are knowledgeable about dietary requirements and are happy to make dishes vegan where possible. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

    Beautiful food, lovely service and nice relaxing atmosphere, will go again for sure

  • 5/5 Jules B. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious, authentic-tasting, well presented food with thoughtful and attentive service. Great outdoor dining area for warmer evenings, too. Definitely going back soon. We had the dumplings and summer rolls (fresh spring rolls) to start, the latter of which was made with tofu to accomodate my vegan needs; followed by a tofu green curry with rice and a duck Pad Thai for my companion. Excellent flavours and quality ingredients.

  • 1/5 Kartik R. 2 years ago on Google
    Sorry you guys need to listen and then confirm what the customer orders. Order was messed up. Had ordered spring rolls with plum sauce and was given something else. Last time I ordered from you and surely not recommending your food. And spicy chicken basil looked like spicy beans basil. Please hire staff who know whats in the menu.

    Hands Down The Best Thai Food We’ve Ever Tasted & The Best Environment We’ve Ever Eaten In! We Ordered The most delicious Meals; The Massaman Beef, Pad Thai, Panang Curry, Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Wings, Crumbed Chicken, Fried Noodles With Egg! Followed by the most delicious desert we’ve ever tasted; The Banana Fritters, Coconut Ice Cream & Deep Fried Ice Cream. All full of flavour! This Thai dinning spot in the heart of New Lynn Central definitely served up the local dishes of various regions of Thailand, where all the dishes, sauces & curry pastes were carefully refined showcasing the true flavours of real Thai food in a modern setting! OVERALL - Excellent Service. - Mouth Watering Full Of Flavour Food. - Great Value For Money. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🙌🏽

    Got takeaways from here tonight and all four of us were incredibly happy with our meals. Delicious Thai which was fresh and tasty! Love the use of environmentally friendly packaging as well

  • 5/5 Annette A. 2 years ago on Google
    With Level 3 we just had the most amazing takeaway food enjoyed at the park. Fried Snapper with Tamarind Sauce, Macadamia Chicken & Cashew Chicken. Stunning taste and containers to transport. Amazing and so very helpful appreciated

  • 5/5 Courtney B. 2 years ago on Google
    My partner and I have ordered from here a few times before and first time tonight ordering online. Never let us down! The staff are always lovely and attentive. The food is delicious! Always raving about the curry puffs here! My partner has also eaten a lot of Thai before and says this is one of the best!

  • 3/5 Richard L. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was well-cooked but did not taste like genuine Thai food but rather fusion. Too many Western flavours and I did not enjoy the pleasure of the sweetness of authentic Thai cuisine. Waitress was not particularly friendly. Rice noodles were flavourful and good.

  • 5/5 E M. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food. Good service. Our cosmos were so yummy. The curry puffs are divine. Will definitely be back! The decor is really sleek and stylish. Thanks again for an amazing experience.
