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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Hello Geoffw, Your review is not true. You were drunk, you refused to pay the cost of 4 Margaritas. You suggested you would call the police. You were invited to do so. You did not. You assaulted Noi the director with a push. Your sister...More

So glad I made the effort to go, as I was in town by myself for business and dont enjoy eating out by myself. Also, I find it hard to get good Thai food in NZ. I wont repeat other good reviews, but suffice to...say I highly recommend and would come again if in Hamilton. Great service, tasty meal, good portions - no complaints at all.More

Visited for dinner in May 2023 We went as soon as it opened on a Saturday evening. As we did not have a booking for two people, we were told the restaurant was fully booked for the night and was seated on the high table...which we didn't mind. We placed our order of classic tomyum, grilled beef salad and pineapple fried rice. Our dishes were served quite promptly and the flavour of the grilled beef salad was excellent. Tomyum was spicy as requested and pineapple fried rice was flavourful as well. Definitely recommend trying it out if in the mood for thai.More

Our Yum Larb salmon takeaways were so over spiced they were inedible (we requested mild). We were given replacement meals only to get home and find our salmon raw. We will think twice about getting takeaways from here again.
