Review Thai Sunshine - Gisborne

What this place may lack in atmosphere it wins in both service and food. The portions were generous for the price, the service was attentive and quick, and the spice was "just right". Thank you very much.

Lovely lovely eatery just off the main road in the Gisborne City Centre. They are quite popular so would recommend booking a ahead. Their food is definitely quite good and their assortment of specials were definitely worth a try. Their staff dwspite being run off their feet provide a good customer experience. Only let down was their sticky rice and mango dessert (a very popular Thai dish) had frozen mangoes in it. Whilst I can understand using frozen mangoes to keep prices down, at least thaw these before serving! It really ruins an otherwise quite good dish. Will definitely still come again when next in the area.

Fried fish, fillet, laarb chicken and duck curry. And the pork belly with veggies were simply delish. Dinner 22 Dec 2021. We had 3 starters and 5 main courses. Family style with white rice.

The most delicious and authentic Thai foods during our trip, a hidden gem in Gisborne that amazed us with their Tamarind fish dish and sizzling Black pepper beef (Well Done to the Chef). The lovely lady that served us was friendly and very accommodate.

Amazing service and food is sooooo good 10 out of 10 for the coconut rice and satay delicious 😋

Beef massaman curry is one of my favourites here. Other places in town need a reservation, this restaurant usually has a table ready in about 30 mins and the food is good too

Delicious food. Plentiful portion sizing and great value for money

We ordered the sizzling Lamb and Sizzling Duck. Oh my Goodness what a beautifully prepared meal slight coconut touch . For Dessert Battered Banana and Ice cream eith passionfruit dressing prepared perfectly. Warm professional service Wow wow wow

The food was absolutely amazing the shank fell off the bone, and my husband said the laksa was the best hes bad in NZ!! Awesome service too. We tried the steam dumplings, wonton soup, seafood laksa and lamb shank in a yummy nut curry!! 🥰

Had PadThai Crispy Pork takeaway meal.Delicious beautifully cooked meal. I will have this meal again in future. Wonderful.

The food was amazing! Best Thai I’ve had in NZ up to now. Full of flavour and very authentic cuisine with very good portions. Highly recommend the Tom Kha soup and duck pad thai! 😋

We did a phone booking for dinner at 6pm on Friday night, 14 Jan 22. We ordered a Chicken Nibbles as an entree, the chicken was crispy on the outside yet moist in the inside. The dipping Thai sauce was quite satisfying too, not too sweet and there was a surely tanginess that we need. We ordered Whole Snapper, a small Chicken Tom Yum and small Prawn Tom Kha for our main meals. The whole snapper was cooked with tamarind sauce which was not too sweet surprisingly (just perfectly meet our liking), the Tom Yum was refreshing, and the Tom Kha was creamy and delicious. It was a pretty busy night as the tables were all full but we did not wait too long. Hands up for the customer service as well. Foods were top notch and overall a 9/10 dining experience. Will definitely be back.

We had a really good time this evening. We ordered pad Thai and asked to get it spicy. It is the first time in new zealand we are so satisfied with spicy food. Everything was so good and the waitress was lovely. Definitely would come back

Great food, expertly cooked and presented. Excellent service.

Always fantastic service. Food is delicious. Will always go back for more😘👍
