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.

Food was awesome! Love the extra sauce. Service was just OK. We had to ask for things since the server did not approach us. Prices good . Male servers better than the female servers. Food excellent.

The food was really quite good, with a couple of excellent dishes and the others were quite good apart from the curry puffs which lacked flavour. The part that ruined the night was that on ordering food and drinks it was a while before a...dish of curry puffs arrived for one of the group of 4, no sign of the other entree soup and no drinks. We then waited around another 20 minutes before we asked someone walking past about the other entree and drinks, subsequently we asked again and nothing, then one of the group went to the counter and asked again. Eventually the drinks arrived then the main courses but still no entree despite asking 3 or 4 times. When a restaurant makes you feel like getting up and walking out because nobody has actually taken some ownership of an issue and said that there was an issue and will be sorted shortly it is unacceptable.More

Highly recommended. We stayed at the Novotel during our Rotorua visit & Eat Street is just across the road. Delicious food & price is very reasonable. Service is amazing, very friendly & accommodating.

We had spicy noodles with chicken and sizzling seafood. The noodles had no spice at all and there was very little chicken. The sizzling seafood was OK, but the sauce was too sweet for our liking. We are used to typical spicy Thai food, and...not so sweet. It would appear the dishes were made for tourist trade. Suggestion if you like spicy Thai, then tell them up front and you may have a better outcome as the Chef is Thai and would probably love to cook authentic Thai food.More

This is what I would expect if I went to Cobb & Co and ordered a Thai meal. Woeful. Green curry was bright green and bland, pork on a bbq plate was so tough I couldn’t cut it with my knife. Very disappointed, would not...recommend.More

The food and wine were good and the location in Eat Streat was nice. The meal was a bit spoilt by the service which seemed disorganised.

Bringing out our next course before you have cleared our table of the plates etc from the last course. It really is a no no. Time also to take your Deep fried banana off the menu and put something else on. Does anyone eat that?...Not in our party of 4 that's for sure. Other than that the food was lovelyMore

We ordered seafood fried rice and another dish with chicken. The chicken dish tasted ok but was only warm which was off putting. But the fried rice tasted of curry. It looked like curry( yellow) . We have been in Thailand many times and never...had something like that . We also often have Nasi goreng but it was just a curry taste. I did not like it at all. They did not come round to see if everything was alright so just left it when at counter I checkedenu to see what it said. No mention of curry so we asked. Was told it did not have curry in it but was little spicy. Not what was on menu paid for it and left.More

Cold and extremely tasteless food. Ordered jungle chicken curry which was so tasteless and weird, it was inedible! The rice noodles it came with were so cold they had congealed. The starter mix platter was cold too and seemed to have been pre-made and served...when it was ready to be thrown away. Staff attitude, including the manager's reply to our complaint is " that's how we make it". Really regretted it. Left without eating my meal but still paying for it AVOID AT ALL COST!More

The food here is pretty good, been twice now had the scollops the 2nd time very nice indeed, I would recommend waiting for the place to be in full swing as we got there early and they may have just started the dinner service and...service was slow but nitpicking their to be honest, if your hungry worth the time and the money.More
