Review Goldensilk Authentic Thai Cuisine - Auckland Central

We came here for lunch. Booking was easy via their website. The floor was greasy from all the open plan cooking and posed a slip hazard. The staff were all so polite and friendly. We enjoyed our two lunch sets and the different courses. Thank you

Nice place to have a unique experience. Tables a little crowded but over all enjoyed the meal and the experience

Wheelchair parks NOT avail. but it is a HUGE car park, so not an issue to find a space, even on a very busy night. However it's an issue (& was for me) if you need a spot very close to the restaurants, we had to park a good 10min walk away & for myself, who suffers from multiple chronic illnesses, including severe fatigue, my husband had to drop me at the door before finding a park & then come back to pick me up once we'd finished dinner. Wheelchairs have access along the footpath & into the restaurant, however, the hallway down from the very small waiting area to the tables inside is quite narrow, with a large table taking up the entire waiting area, purely designed to sit & drink at. Our party chose to stand as I was the only one that HAD to sit due to my fatigue, so all 7 of us took up all of the waiting area by the cashier, this would be an issue waiting for your table, then having to get down to the seating area, and get around once seating especially and/or if you needed going to the bathroom as the tables are very close together It's quite a spacious restaurant, meaning a lot of tables not area, as they have an indoor and outdoor seating area. No smoking at all of course, that's to be expected, but also no vaping in the outdoor area which I find odd since new vapes give off barely any steam at all. I've had better experiences in terms of more flair from the chef, but of course the chef was very polite/friendly, may not have spoken much English as no matter what you said or asked he just smiled and nodded... Of course as part the Yeppan, he did the flaming onion which I don't get as part of the onion always gets burnt and mostly not cooked, however, this chef cut the onion and cooked it properly. There was of course throwing food to diners to catch in their mouths (or not haha) only 2 people at our table and only 1 from our party of 7 (I actually hate this, so of course declined as I always do, as I prefer to eat my food not have it thrown at my face, though it was entertainment seeing egg on my Bro in laws face hehe) Otherwise food was extremely well cooked and the meat was juicy, even the chicken which at some Teppan places can be quite dry, my Chicken was moist which was a pleasant surprise. Hubby got the steak and chicken set which he said was really well cooked. Everyone else said food was good. Not great but good. Special fried rice tasted like all the "special fried rice" at other Teppan places . I got the chicken and Prawn set.. For the price I was mildy surprised that you get 2 as part of the "set" however for the $20 extra I paid, I got 6 prawns, so $5 each, not sure I would get again even though they're pretty juicy and nicely cooked. Just enough yum yum sauce but since we have that at home we don't find it as "special" as it's a common sauce we use a lot. Though we booked a table for 8, they managed to squeeze 2 more onto our table!! Thankfully for them as I was about to make a HUGE complaint, our party ended up being 7, but it was definitely an 8 seater table!! Yet they squeezed 9 in??! The 2 woman told us how they desperately wanted to eat Teppan there that night, BUT, knowing Our table was for a 60th birthday with best friends it was quite rude to Pack another 2 people in with us and the table was squished & we're not large people either, more on the small side. Thankfully the other 2 were lovely & didn't expect to join in on conversations or as part of our party (I booked for our best friends & my sister + Bro inlaw) I found it interesting & a little odd that the 2 woman said they accepted their booking, BEFORE I even told them that one of our best friends couldn't make it as he only told us last minute. So would they have packed us onto an 8 seater with 10 people?! Out of all the Teppan places in this area.. I would definitely NOT recommend this place, purely due to how quite rude the staff were not just compared to other places but also as they knew it was a significant birthday. Quite disappointed, only upside is they didng charge extra for cake I brought with us.

Amazing service by Chef but lady at reception customer service not great. The food was delicious.

Hi guys, Very impressed with the food... I tried fish, steak and chicken as well as scallops and they were all GREAT. The theatricals of our chef was not over the top and the flavour was spot-on. The restaurant atmosphere was great, the staff were very polite and friendly and the prices were ok for the experience you are getting. I Highly recommend it, check out the pics and videos.

Set lunch menu from $25 is a good start, sold and miso soup comes as standard. You have the choice of chicken, beef and seafood for your mains. Quick and fast service and generally tasty. Ice cream as a finishing touch was great. Beer wine and non alcoholic options also available.

Daikoku is known for its signature Yum Yum sauce / Japanese Mayo. Lunch service runs from 1200 - 1430. Daikoku have 4 lunch options to choose from. Price ranges from $29 - $49, depending on the prawn or meat option. Lunch includes Miso soup, salad drizzled with ginger dressing, Ice cream, rice and vegetables. Generally, Onion and Courgettes. Seating arrangement is shared, if you don't have a full party. a seating arrangement sits 8 people. The chef entertained us with tricks using a spatula and BBQ fork. The yum yum sauce on prawns pairs well along with all the meat options. would recommend the gourmet lunch - 4 prawns plus 1 meat choice ( Fish, Chicken, Steak)

Very enjoyable place. Didn't know it existed. The cook had a real talent and interacted with the table. He made it

Great New Years Eve family dinner. Yum yum sauce as delicious as ever but the prices are pretty steep now,. definitely a treat rather than every day restaurant

One of my mum’s favourite places and now our whole family's fave place to have lunch 🥰❤️

The food was quite tasty but I would say the experience of seeing it cooked in front of you was what made the service pop. Really friendly and hospitable staff, and entertaining chefs 😁

My number 1 restaurant regardless of which one I go to. Food is fantastic, chef is fantastic, atmosphere also fantastic. Well worth every cent highly recommend all Daikoku Teppinyaki outlets, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing food good time had could have been a little more enthusiasm from the chef but not complaining

Great food and staff, entertaining but not my cup of tea. Quite expensive.
