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.

The red curry was watery and had very little of substance in it. We were left with half a pottle of liquid after we finished serving up and very little of anything on the rice. Probably the most disappointing red curry I've ever had. The...Pad Thai tasted good but again was disappointing compared to other Pad Thais I have had. All over this was disappointing because we had been there some time previously and enjoyed the meal - which was why we came back again. I would choose a different Thai place in Blenheim next time.More

Called in for an evening meal and was glad I did. Friendly staff and a tasty menu. Dishes can be adjusted for the level of spice depending on your taste. My soup was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. My main also tasty and the...mild/moderate spice level was about as much as I’d cope with.More

Ate here on our first night in Blenheim. It was a Friday and we were really pleased we’d booked as ours was the only empty table when we arrived. Shared an excellent starter platter, no prawn crackers as there was a supply shortage, and then...a pad Thai and tofu and seasonal vegetables stir fry. With two Singha beers and a couple of glasses of wine it was around NZ$ 120 for two. Would happily return. The busy, small team provide good food and service.More

Simple, understated decor, very good food and great service. All the usual suspects you would expect on the menu, attentive friendly staff and pricing is very reasonable. Well worth a return visit.

We love going to Eat Thai but on this occasion it was so disappointing for my meal which was deep fried soft shell crab which seemed to me to be overcooked, dry and tasteless with very little substance. It looked like a pile of spiders!...However the service was excellent as always and the other 3 meals were very good.More

Good atmosphere. You can pick your spice level. A 3-4 will get you a spice level that complements but does not overpower the food. But beware - it IS spicy. I love spice, so for me it was perfect.

Food was well prepared, cooked just right and the Panang sauce was exceptional. We also had the black pepper seafood, ingredients were fresh and served hot. Owner and sets ff are very kind and friendly. Excellent choice!

A great authentic Thai restaurant in Blenheim. We shared a number of dishes, fried spring rolls, chicken satay. For mains we had Pad Thai and Massaman curry. Very flavoursome food, great wine list and good service. The restaurant was full and there was a lovely...atmosphere.

We like Thai so tried this on a short stop over in Blenheim. The service was polite and extremely fast which makes me think everything was pre-cooked. We had Rong Song with chicken, but it was drowned in an extremely unpleasant and overpowering Satay sauce....We eat Thai on a regular basis and even after scraping most of the sauce off the meal, still found it very unpleasant.More

After an effusive recommendation from our hotel owner, we 4 booked here and honestly had a fabulous tasty generous and authentic experience. Delightful owner/ front of house person made us welcome and was hostess with the mostest. My God!! when we said “hot” she said...excellent and my oh my our dishes were!!! Beef mussamun, duck curry and a prawn noodle dish. We also had made to order fresh prawn summer rolls and Thai fish cakes. Excellent wine list which was reasonable. I’m always wary of Thai food even though I love it as so many restaurants serve over sweet bland meals. Not here. Highly recommend.More
