Review Kasalong Thai Restaurant - Richmond

8 of us shared the dishes we thought we would like. Amazingly, we only had two small takeaway dishes left once we had eaten enough. Everyone enjoyed the variety of flavors and dishes. We ordered 'medium' heat for some of our dishes, but they sadly came out mild. I usually order a soup, but as we were sharing, I ordered a sizzling plate of prawns. The sauce was very tasty, and I really enjoyed the dish. Rice - you could change out your rice from plain to a very rich and creamy rice or a simple fried rice. I am usually a coconut rice fan, but I would recommend the fried rice option. It was delicious! Presentation - The dishes came out presented beautifully, nicely plated, and colorful. Drinks - it was so nice to have a larger variety of non alcoholic drinks to enjoy. The bubble teas were a good choice, thank you!! Atmosphere - the decor was okay, our table was retro but the chairs were nice and solid and comfortable. One large table had a plastic picnic tablecloth on it, which was disappointing. Although it's practical, it does nothing to make the eating experience feel classy, sadly. Some nice cultural music might have made a lovely evening nicer... Service - Our waitresses looked gorgeous in their matching uniforms and were very polite and patient with us all. Yes, they got our drink and meal orders correct. It took a while for each dish to arrive. However, we were pleasantly surprised to see them looking so nice. Perhaps updating your menu with newer photos of the dishes might be good. Sadly, although they knew we were sharing our meals, we did not receive small eating dishes or serving utensils with each meal until we had to ask for them again... Clearing of the table could have happened a lot sooner. They happily refrigerated the birthday cake and ice cream that we brought with us for dessert. Thank you for accommodating us with this request! All in all, it was a very pleasant evening for everyone who went. I am actually wanting to come back and try their devine looking soups too! 😋 And maybe some of their more culturally popular meals...

My fiancee and I loved this spot! Their food was excellent. The vegetarian spring rolls were fresh and well presented. The Tom Yum soup was delicious! I got the Traditional Thai Pineapple curry for my main dish and it had a amazing flavor profile and a good balance of veggies and meat. The service was good and the atmosphere was comfortable. Highly recommend. We would go back if we visited the town again.

Food is always delicious and service amazing. I'd like to acknowledge the young trainee girl working at lunch time today, she was very friendly and doing a great job. She will be an asset to your team.

Delicious food, complemented by very attentive and prompt service - have been a few times now & their consistency is excellent!

My work buddies took me to this gem in Richmond, Nelson. The menu covers the Thai meals you’d expect, but there’s a few other things that you will want to try. Good drink options plus friendly service.

Amazing Thai in Richmond. Great service. Authentic dishes. The flavours and attention to detail is to be commended. I recommend the Tom Yum. Nice dining room and family friendly. Will come back. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed our experience at Kasalong. We had the entree for 2 the wngs and ribs were so nice and tender 👌 Side salad /garnish nicely flavoured . Our mains very generous meals {, we we're asked re our spicy likes or dislikes },and we got exactly what we would've expected 👌 Absolutely no complaints ,will definitely be back ,😊

Had a lovely dinner here. Food was tasty, service was very good our waitress was so friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning.

We ordered take away. Which was very prompt. We ordered the Hog Honey Ribs, which the meat fell of the bone and it was bursting with flavour! Honey Wings and Moo Dad Diew. Phad Thai was soggy and over cooked. The Massamun Lamb Shank was melt in your mouth from flavour to the perfectly cooked lamb shank. Definitely recommend.

Lovely food, very tasty, but my husband ordered a fish dish (spicy) and there was a very hot Chilli or similar at the bottom of the dish which caused some havoc with my husband's stomach 😳 otherwise very enjoyable.

Great place, we were the 1st table to be seated, and by the time we left the place was packed! Food was bought out to the whole table at once, staff were polite and friendly. Food was delicious and would happily go back again :)

Food is delicious!!!!! Great portion sizes even at lunch time. Penang curry, Tom yum noodles and stir fried noodles pictured

We love this place. Real authentic Thai food. Always fresh and yummy.:)

Best Thai restaurant in whole nelson and Richmond. I love their Tom yum soup. Must visit without a doubt

I’ve been here for many times, the food is extraordinary, it’s the best Thai food in New Zealand I had so far. Keep up the good work K!

Highly recommend. I had a duck curry. Fresh vegetables, lots of meat and really tasty. Large portion size.

Great food. Very friendly. Reasonable price. The coconut prawns are amazing! Highly recommended.
