    GOOD THAI FOOD IN RUSSELL, NEW ZEALAND

    We had a 7:00 PM booking and we walked over from our nearby hotel. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the Penang curry was good

    Good food at reasonable rates

    The atmosphere was welcoming and very presentable, the staff were attentive and courteous. The food choices were varied and the waiters knowledge helped make for a great meal

    Very close to Thailand

    Unspectacular location with excellent authentic food that is served really hot Thai style if you like it. The spring rools and the money bag were absolute fresh and crispy and the ginger chicken and the Pad Kae Mauw were just great. Compliment to the chef!

    Don't go here!

    We ordered a takeaway from here one evening. Not a weekend, in the early autumn when Russell was quite quiet. When they turned up to collect the takeaway apparently it had been given to someone else who didn't see fit to return it, but had...More

    Takeaway with Mr Grumpy

    Guy who greets you (Charlie?) gives the impression customers just get in his way. He constantly complains and everything is a big deal. We ordered for 5 by phone and were told it would be ready in 45 minutes. After one hour we found he...More

    Delicious lunch special

    Had what we wanted and did not disappoint. Ate al fresco so did not experience the "tired interior" part; both specials (pad thai & chicken satay) were delicious and reasonably priced. Tasted like authentic Thai to us!

    Great resto in Russell

    Interesting decor, could do with a freshen up, good choice of craft beers on tap and Charlie the owner could be a little more friendly, but we went for the food. Charlie's wife is the chef and she knows how to cook Thai, all meal...More

    Confused why this recommended to us

    Recommended by the holiday park, but this place is not great at all. Tired decor, an owner/operator who has clearly fallen out of love with their dream, and the food was really bad. Certainly no where near what authentic Thai tastes like.

    Unexpected Delight

    Called in here as it was raining and were very impressed. The interior is desperately in need of a make over as it’s a little tired and the service leaves a lot to be desired but if you overlook these things, the food is amazing...More

    Beware of this place!

    The owner is the most obnoxious person I have ever met, he does not deserve your hard earned money. Russel has so many amazing restaurants including a fabulous Indian, this is not one of them
