Review Bang On Thai - Christchurch

Chef Mimi serves the best and most affordable Thai food in Christchurch. Easy 5 stars! Do try the Garlic and Pepper stir fry!

the combination entree was excellent with some of the best flavours we have had at a Thai restaurant. all mains were cooked well and to the degree of hot ordered. one minor problem was rectified. without that this place is a definite five star. it is BYO only. good parking. has takeaways. prices are very reasonable. well worth a visit

My regular Thai place, absolutely love it there! The food is so delicious every time, best pad Thai in Christchurch for sure (plus the portion sizes is so big, usually have enough for lunch the next day). Great staff, always friendly and smiling!! I definitely recommend this place 😊

31st May 2019 - this foodie review is based on my personal experience and it is based on the date of my visit. This is an established Thai 🇹🇭 restaurant that is located in Papanui area. It is now under a new business proprietor on that day. We went there for dinner before catching a late night movie and I didn't make any reservation. When we arrived, there were plenty of empty seats and two ✌ people waiting for their takeaway orders. We were not expecting too much (we came with an open minded) but since it is highly rated on Google Maps, I am guessing that the taste must be good. Anyway, the interior layout is simple and don't expect fancy decoration. The place is well-lit but general comfort heating was inadequate. There was only one gas heater in the dining area and that evening 🌃 was quite cold ❄. Anyway, the menu is very straightforward and not overwhelming (which is a good thing) with choices but rather nicely balanced. They have duck, chicken, beef, pork and many more, and can tailor to suits your taste! We ordered two ✌ dishes; Pad Thai and Thai green curry. The dishes have its own distinct taste and flavour. The Pad Thai noodles was delicious due to the strong flavor of seasonings and served with fresh bean sprouts and more. I asked for a hot 🔥 green curry and it was reasonably hot 🔥. Next time I'll ask for Thai hot 🔥. The curry was flavoursome and the sauce was thick (just like the way I like it) Overall, it was a good experience for the first visit to this restaurant 🍴 with a minor disappointment with their general heating. I would recommend that they install a wall-mounted heat pump and air conditioning unit to keep warm during winter and cool during summer. Good portion sizes. This is a child-friendly restaurant. There is outdoor dining area. There is street parking 🅿. They accept cash and EFTPOS (debit card 💳) only, and no credit card payment (Paywave payments are not available, for those who want to know). Would I go back? Yes 😀. Well worth a try and you will not be disappointed. Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. It was yummy 😋. Ambience: ⭐⭐ out of 5. Relax and cosy. Price: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Reasonable pricing Customer service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Very friendly staff.

Visited Bang On Thai with 2 friends today. The staffs are welcoming and friendly, the restaurant has a cosy atmosphere with art deco and soft back ground music. True Thai cuisines at affordable costs, our food- Tom Yum soup, rice, vegetable springrolls arrived very quickly. We enjoyed our food very much from start to the last mouthful. Will definitely visit Bang On again in the near future. Thank you.

Mainly have ordered takeaways and so delicious. It doesn't look like a fancy place but it's homey and tasty! Highly recommend the pad see ew noodle dish.

This is a gem of a place which we stumbled over, the food is authentic thai. We were only in Christchurch for 2 nights and we obviously went back! Try the vegetarian salads. Delicious.

Visited 3 times in 3 weeks, great food! Friendly service, this place should be a whole lot busier as it's a real hidden jem. Green curry was spot on, lots of fresh ingredients.

Fantastic and authentic Thai food. Being probably the cheapest restaurant in town by no means cheapens the food. Possibly the best real Thai food available at any price in Christchurch.

Best hidden Thai Restaurant in Christchurch

Delicious food, made with passion to maintain authenticity, friendly service, the restaurant is run by a young couple wanting to bring a great east Asian dining experience to ChCh, try this place!

Lovely food for very good price. Staff was also very accommodating. Will definately return.

Fantastic food. Fantastic staff & really affordable. Couldn't fault. Mmmmm the food. Thank you. Be back soon.

Super delicious best pad thai and som tam I have ever had lovely customer service and super cheap good prices it's a regular for us! Definitely worth going there

The best Thai food I have tried so far. Great serving sizes and fantastic friendly and helpful staff. Bang on Thai has become our new Thai takeaway shop. Won't go anywhere else now.

We have just had the best Pad Thai and Penang Thai we’ve had in a long long time. We used to go to their restaurant when they were at Thai pan Thong in Manchester street and they are still the best Thai in Christchurch.

Wow, delish and so incredibly cheap!!! Beautiful food

Nicest food I've had in a long time. Absolutely delicious.

Very tasty meals, well priced and good serving size.

Great food and great value.

So beautifully cooked thank you chef
