I recently dined at Spice Paragon, and I must say the food was absolutely fantastic. The flavors and quality of the dishes were outstanding. If you're a fan of delicious, well-prepared cuisine, Spice Paragon is a must-visit. I can't wait to go back for more!

I came with a large group of 30 which the restaurant found difficult to manage in terms of drinks orders and ordering our mains. The servers split the table in half & for some reason 3 of us were the last to be served long after the first 2 groups had received & eaten their mains! You do need to purchase rice in addition to your meal so make sure you take that into account. Lovely flavours but beware of spice levels if you aren’t able to cope with heat.

What a find! We had a beautiful dinner, I had the fresh tuna salad, and fresh it was, bristling with great Thai flavours. My companion had the prawn pad Thai and pronounced it ‘the best’. Service was excellent as were wines and non alcoholic options on offer. Lovely ambience.

The food and service was absolutely excellent! I highly recommend the beef cheek which I believe is a specialty.
I found the place quite loud though so not what I'd choose for a quiet romantic dinner but anything else and this is will quickly become a favourite.

Second time here in two weeks! If your a meat lover plenty to love about this food. Flavours are amazing. Must trys are the Spinach leaf...sticky pork hock and twice cooked deconstructed beef. Amazing! Will be back to try the other dishes.

Went to this lovely place again... for our daughters birthday treat, the food came out in good time and everyone enjoyed their chosen meals,
this has been my fifth visit over the years,
my recommendation is go early to enjoy quick service, later if you aren't in a hurry.
Keep the good service up team🙂

Amazing dinner we had with hubby!!! We came to CHC for an overnight trip, reserved a table for two a day before our flight through online, received a VM 2hrs before our schedule as reminder, came in an hour early and accommodated to our table. Had seafood specials, a bite crispy squid, apple cider and the well presented dessert. They also have signage for guidance visible all over the place. Highly recommended 👍

Hands down the best food I have had in all of New Zealand. I went to Spice Paragon with zero expectations as most Thai food in Christchurch is quite average. The prices were a bit much for me at first glance, as I often run on tight budget. Most of the time I will argue that expensive food is not worth it past a certain price point, but that argument failed here. The food arrived within 10 min of ordering and was absolutely stunning visually. We ordered the Pad Thai and a beef dish with a red curry sauce (I can't remember the name) that the waitress recommended. The Pad Thai was delicious, but the beef dish stole the show. The meat was tender, full of flavor, and the sauce it was bathed in was delectable. Portion sizes were large. The waitstaff was exceptionally friendly and attentive for New Zealand standards. The evening atmosphere would make this restaurant a great spot for a date, or a nice dinner with friends and family. If you are looking for a nice dinner spot with bold flavors in Christchurch, this is the place!

I'd never been to spice paragon before but heard good things! It took a few moments for someone to notice us at reception however as soon as we were seated we were well looked after.
My partner and I shared the squid, pad Thai, and the cheesecake for desert and loved all three courses.
Will definitely be back, with friends!

It was our first time in Christchurch and we were searching for good Thai restaurants. We were so happy we found this place. Everything we ordered was so good! We had salt and pepper squid for entree, beef cheeks and pad thai for mains, and the coconut ice cream and caramel cheesecake with dark chocolate ganache for dessert. The food was amazing! And the service was fast as well. Highly recommended �

I ordered the chicken and cashew nuts. I've never had a chicken and cashew nut with battered chicken. The batter was a little too much for my liking. The dish would have been better served with chicken (without the batter).
I could hardly understand anything the waitress was saying, and I had to ask her a few times to repeat herself.
Even though I enjoy going to Spice Paragon every time I am in the country, I did not find this experience that great.

My girlfriends and I dined in last night 23/9/17. The waiter was very polite and attentive. For a Saturday night, the kitchen staff were quick with our meals. We all had a main and dessert. I had the chicken and vegetables which was dissolve in your mouth delicious and the homemade coconut ice cream with caramelised pineapple and that too was extremely delicious. My friends and I will be back again �

Like a flavour explosion on the mouth and senses! We were blown away by the food - such wonderful combinations of spice - the temptation to lick my plate was real! Hats off to your wonderful Chefs! Fantastic service too thank you!
Chontelle Tie
Lovely food and great service even though it was quite busy. Loved the scallops, squid and wontons. My beef rib was divine and a massive piece of meat, lucky hubby helped me eat it after finishing his yummy duck in red curry. Definitely be back.
Scott Wenga
We had a great waiter but the service was very lazy. Had to ask for drinks then after dinner plates never got cleared and never got asked if we want desert. After sitting there for 30 minutes with no service we paid the bill then sat down and still no service. Plenty of staff cleaning but not serving. Finally had to grab a waiter to ask for a doggy bag. Food was good but bad the service pissed me off. Wouldn't hurry back.

Angela Jones
We loved the food and the cocktails . Great service and beef cheeks dish is a must try
Peter Fraser
Didn't really enjoy the food, was never even asked if I wanted a drink. Not really bothered as you have to try places to see if they are any good. I won't be back.
Vicki Wilson
The food was fabulous. Very well presented, gorgeous flavours and ample portions. The service was a little disappointing. Whilst there appeared to be plenty of staff around, there wasn't enough attention paid to what was going on at their tables. Drinks were slow to arrive.
Kathi Coyle
The beef cheek is the thing to try. So tender and devine.
Great food, excellent staff and lovely decor.
Mike Neville
This evening we had the pleasure of dining here again, with great company. The meals were outstanding, and the service great.
The beef cheek was as good (ie fantastic) as last time. Highly recommended,
Paula Billett
Good Amazing fantastic, food was excellent. My husband even cut his beef with a spoon it was that tender, highly recommended
Elaine Barling
Wonderful food and attentive service. We shared salt n pepper squid and curry puffs as entrées. I had the red curry beef cheek as a main; it was beautifully tender. My partner couldn't stop raving about his green curry fish. Both very satisfied.
Joe Clouston Julius
Food was amazing and saying that doesn’t do it justice. A must go if you love food.
