Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Fast service

Mar 2020 • none

This is still a great restaurant, I’ve been here many times. However, it is not as good as it used to be. It used to be absolutely outstanding. The recipes have changed a little and I didn’t enjoy the food as much as I used to. Due to corona virus fear, the restaurant was nearly empty on a Thursday night which meant the service was very fast and efficient but almost OTT , they really needed to just chill, we were in no hurry.

Consistently good Thai food.

Mar 2023 • friends

Always good and reliable. Banquet option for four is ideal. Possibly our 4th visit. Pleasant surroundings. Probably would help with table space if delivery of main dishes was staggered a little.

Blue Bean on Ponsonby Road

Mar 2023 • couples

Part of De Grand. New love on the block. We came across this new Thai café yesterday and returned as promised. Delightful Thai lady in attendance and pretty decor. It was also the spicy poached egg and tomatoes that arrested my attention. This and cheesy chips all absolutely delicious. Reasonable prices. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

A return visit

Jan 2021 • none

We returned to this restaurant after being away from Auckland for 3 years. The staff were as we remembered very polite, and unlike a number of restaurants, the place was spotlessly clean. However the food, while beautifully presented had dropped in flavour, my wife had a Ginger Chicken, which is her go to, and it was lacking flavour. My Larb, my go to while tasty was more spicy than usual. We couldn't see anything on the menu about how hot we'd like it, and the waitress didn't ask.

Got take-away from here tonight

May 2020 • couples

Got take-away from here tonight and it was very bad compared to their usual standards. I had the Panang Curry with chicken, which by the description should be “Thick Red curry with coconut milk and crushed roasted peanuts Chicken, Beef or Pork,Prawns”. The actual dish was a runny red curry with chicken in it. $25 for that. I could have easily use supermarket bought red curry paste, coconut milk and chicken and made the dish myself. There were no peanuts in the dish at all. My wife had Pad Thai with chicken, which she also said was very average and quite dry. Very disappointing as DeGrand used to be our favorite Thai restaurant. We will have to find a different local Thai restaurant in future.

Good Samaritan

Just want to acknowledge the generosity of the owner David who helped out a stranger at Bunnings by kindly offering to use his commercial vehicle to deliver some heavy duty items which was not supported by my compact car. He also saved me potential significant damage to my car. Much appreciation and gratitude! Look forward to trying Thai food here and going back for tasty gelato at Boozy Gelato next door. Cheers, Uyen

Great Thai Restaurant

Aug 2023 • none

First time here as it had really good reviews previously. Food was absolutely delicious and as it was our anniversary, they went out of their way to look after us. Fantastic food and great service and nice atmosphere.

10/10 Thai in Auckland

Jan 2024 • friends

Fun and yummy spot! Busy on a Friday night -- we got a reservation ahead which is probably best. We all enjoyed our dinners and the absolutely massive ice cream selection (Ponsonby location). A must-eat in Auckland.

Absolutely delicious food, great service and decor. Smart restaurant which is licensed and also BYO wine. Large enough to suit bigger groups and a very impressive menu to suit everyone.

I found this restaurant to be average. The food wasn't that amazing. The lighting was too dark. Unfortunately I will be returning. That being said this is very subjective and for me it just wasn't hitting the mark. Particularly I thought the noodles were overcooked and there were veges in this dish I have never had with Thai before, like radish and bok choy.

Really enjoyed 90% of dishes

Really enjoyed 90% of dishes - Crispy pork was a bit of a let down - really just a crumbed schnitzel - but everything else was lovely.

We were in the neighbour and chose this restaurant for dinner. The food tasted good and the service was very fast. Worth trying when you’re around.
