A great little addition to SkyCity. Saw this opened a little while back and decided to give it a shot. The food was good but could have done with a bit of spice. The fried rice was good but could have used a bit more of a flavour punch. Overall can recommend!
Great food which was very flavorsome. Had a pad Thai and pork belly salad. Both reasonably priced around $15-$17. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. Nice ambience will definitely be returning 👍🏻☺️👅🍽
Been here a few times now. Always really delish flavours. Sometimes it's become so busy that they have to turn people away. The ribs were so so good. Such a big portion for an entire. The pad thai and chicken pancake is always really good too. The desserts are good too I love the pandan custard!
Looking for some good Thai fusion in Auckland CBD? If yes then head over to Spice Alley in Sky City and you will be in for a treat. This place is quite new, the last time I ate here it was still a dim sum place, now it totally transformed to this Asian fusion and it was amazing. This time it was well built, we love the decors everywhere, very vibrant, very colourful and well themed, feels like you were transported to Thailand.

Had a great dinner here last night celebrating mum’s birthday with the family.
The ambience of the restaurant was nicely decorated with hanging oriental umbrellas and art work as well as a back garden at the rear of the restaurant for photos later.
We ordered 16 dishes from the dinner menu to share but I can only show 10 here due to restrictions on Zomato.
We ordered:
Singapore Noodle, Steamed Market Fish, Ga Duk Moug, Kumara Pakora, Guing Tod, Seekh Kebab, Tom Yum with Prawn, Banh Xeo, Pad Thai, Khao Pad, Lamb Vindaloo, Tandoor Chicken, Hoy Tod, Temple chicken salads and Yum Mong Kup.
Overall the dishes were very flavourful and delicious. Our food arrives quickly one after another. The waiters were all very friendly and attentive.
Will definitely return to try other dishes on the menu.

Great place. I love the decorations and the ambiance of the place. Only went there because there was a grab one deal but once there noticed they had a lot of other daily food deals that I’d love to get on top of. Curries were spot on, definitely ordering it next time
Really fresh, flavoursome and fantastic food at Spice Alley! Generous portions at reasonable prices and friendly service - highly recommend a visit. Pork ribs, rice pancake, soft shell crab and the pork hock are all delicious.

Excellent flavour, and massive portion for the price~ Service wise, friendly staff, and the food came out super quick! The pork ribs and softshell crab has always been my favourite, theirs was cooked perfectly~ The pancake was recommended by the waitress, and it was a surprise, very tasty. Could do with a bite more vegetables in the curry dish though.
I was quite surprised by this place. Resturant is on the 3rd floor in the sky tower and upon entering u expect will be an arm and a leg to pay. But the prices were okay and the food itself pretty yum. The thing I like about this place is their portion sizes are massive. We had the nasi goreng and chicken laksa. Service is really good here and the resturant itself is so well thought out decor wise and service wise
I just had Pad Thai from Spice Alley while my other mate had Tom Yum Prawn. It was amazing. Loved the vibes, the customer service, loved everything about it. I just wish that the Tom Yum Prawn wasn't too salty but other than that, we both loved the pad thai. For dessert, I loved the Panacotta and the Crispy Banana. Highly recommended if you want to have some good food and good customer service.

For pre-Opera dinner, we dined at Spice Alley at SkyCity and the restaurant interior was colorful, vibrant and very festive with orange and red Asian street ornaments. The staff was very welcoming and our drink and food orders were readily taken.
We ordered the green rice prawns with spicy dipping sauce and ceviche tuna lettuce cups and our entrees were delicious, fresh and flavorful. To follow on, our mains were the Temple Chicken Salad and Chicken Pad Thai and our dishes were beautiful, although they could be spicier.
The wine selection was very good and the main waiter, Vitale, was exceptional. His service was wonderful and attentive, particularly when we noticed our mains were taking longer to be delivered just simply in comparison to other tables being served mains when they arrived after us. Overall the dining experience was exciting and enjoyable, very much so that I’d love to visit again to try other enticing dishes! Highly recommended!
Liked the overall food and atmosphere there...looks like I am in an Asian restaurant right from the moment I stand in front of the gate! Lol
Only couple of things I had tested there but in that brief list I can certainly pick my favourite...Yum Tan soup...delicious and unearthly haha...i have got smiley mashroom in my soup as well, that was hilarious 😂 😂 😂
Food: 4/5 ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐
I ordered the khao pad which was tasty, but a little more on the oily side. The rest of the group got the chicken tikka masala and pad thai which they enjoyed. In saying that, the food did take a little bit of time so the best place if you're in a rush. Overall, pretty decent!
Atmosphere: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Like the other restaurants in Skycity, Spice Alley is well decorated with cute hanging umbrellas and tuk tuks. The little courtyard area is great you sit and enjoy a drink in when the sun's shining.
Staff: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
No faults here. We were seated promptly and they were very attentive! When we asked how far the food was, they checked with the kitchen and brought the food out almost instantly
Overall, Spice Alley is a great place to impress someone on a budget with their tasty food and nice and relaxed atmosphere
The place is cozy with a nice design. There a lots of mini lantern on the ceiling and unique umbrellas on the corner. It is a mixed asian restaurant (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Turkey, etc). The food taste good and need a bit improvement to reach the authentic level of the original taste. The spoon/fork is certainly unique. However, I'm a bit sceptical about cleanliness in the handle hole. Cozy, friendly staff, clean environment.
Yummy food! Busy as. A mix up with our Groupon which could have been avoided the minute we walked in, but wasn't a big deal.
Nice place to eat, well priced and food was really tasty and flavour packed. Service was pretty damn quick too, food came out in less than 5 mins.
8 of us had delicious meals. My first experience of Thai food. The waitress Nasha was very helpful with help with the menu and different coffees. 2 meals delayed the reason explained: Asian system is to share meals whereas we had ordered individual meals. A learning experience. Venue absolutely fantastic.
Went there on Friday and really enjoyed the food. The interior has a cool theme. I liked the concept of ordering big dishes to share amongst 2-3 people - that also helped the food come out faster. Only negative is that there could have been less salt put in the nasi goreng
Tasty food. Generous portions. Pleasant atmosphere. Will keep coming
