Originally from Napier this place carries the same excellent quality of Thai cuisine across all its stores. My favourite is of course the Naughty Pig in a green curry. This is crispy pork at its finest. I normally get it with coconut rice and a roti, but seriously the food I have tried is fantastic. Fairly priced even for a CBD location!!!
Being Asian, Asian food never fails to amaze me. What a lovely dine out option, and lovely staff working in and out at peak hour during weekends, we got the table easily without prior booking, that was too good, awesome food, still feels the taste and awesome location with good people around! Fantastic friday evening and fantastic Food options. Kuddos Team Thai Chef 🍾
The food here really blew me away. I went in directly for the mains. Started with pad Thai noodles which was chef recommended, Royal panang curry, the spicy beef stir fry & red veggie curry. Rice had to be ordered separate. The noodles were tossed with red curry sauce which added the nice good flavour of its own. The noodles were not flat which was a change because the original pad Thai always has that. We ordered all dishes medium hot which really worked because the flavours jus came out to perfection. The Royal panang curry was rich & creamy that I almost licked it clean. The highlight though was the beef stir fry which is a must if you visit this place. The ambience was great, the service was equally quick. All the servers were really helpful & attentive even though the restaurant was packed. Tip- book before going. Kudos to team Thai chef!
It was so good!!!! The food here is just mouth watering. We will most definitely be back!! This place deserves every 5 star rating possible!
Have been going here for years and my favourite dish in the whole wide world is "Naughty Pig" which is crispy pork. I will be devastated if this ever disappears from the menu. Also, attentive and fast service.
The food was good, I would describe this asour average Thai place. It was packed with a table 14 sat behind us. Staff were attentive and welcoming regardless. We got our food promptly and it was tasty! Downside was that nothing blew my mind.
This place is my favourite thai restaurant in Wellington. I've been here many times and it never disapppoint me. Today I've decided to take my cousin here dinner and I am glad that he really enjoyed his experience there. We ordered a massaman curry and crispy pork spicy girl. Both dishes were very tasty and they are very generous with their meat. Also the restaurant is very reasonable with its food price. This is the first place I recommend when people ask for a good thai restaurant.
Nice meal great chicken fried rice warm and cozy kid friendly and a great atmosphere we went there in the weekend and there were a lot of people there a also vegetarian dishes and also quick friendly service
A great venue for a BYO. The menu is large and there is an extensive choice so will even usually suit picky eaters. The food is consistently good and flavoursome. They also do some dishes really spicy which is great for my spice loving partner. The sexy little duck dish is excellent.

Ordered the Mussaman Curry and asked for Hot, but it was pretty mild. It was really good though, with big pieces of meat. Heaps of flavour and super tasty. Prices are also pretty reasonable. The service was really friendly, though English was fairly limited. The restaurant was clean and tidy and nice decorations. A little dusty though.
Great time with a large group.
There were a lot of us (double digits) but the space didn't seem too over crowded.
The food did come out quite far apart from first served to last, some of the latter wondering if their order had been completely forgotten as everyone had mostly finished before theirs came out.
But it was all well enjoyed, and good proportions.
We didnt feel rushed to leave and were left to enjoy the food and friends.
Some of the dishes being the shape of your main was a cute choice too.
We went here to celebrate my cousins birthday in a groups of 11. Went back here after being away for 3 years and food still taste the same, delicious and cooked well! Raw chilly on the side added the extra zing I was after as me and my wife eat a lot spicer then our family.
Just be aware that chilly on the side is extra $$ and same goes for take away containers. I think this might be the same almost everywhere though.
This is a solid dining experience. I've been a couple times for BYO and the place is rowdy and the food is good. It does feel cramped during the rush. Recently went for lunch and it was a lot quiter. They have lunch deals but exclude a few dishes from this.

Very nice overall. Good staff, food and atmosphere. Not my normal place to eat because it's a bit pricey for me, but I think most dining experiences on this level will be within this kind of price range. Plus I was out with friends so it was a good time overall!
Great Thai restaurant, good for take aways, or dine in, delivery easy came to pick up several times while we were there too. Attentive staff, the spicy grade on the menu is not accurate according to the waiting staff, but they'll explain to you anyways just ask away. We had prawn cakes, tiger prawn tomyum as entree and herbal crispy whole fish with homemade sauce, thai chef fried rice as main. Prawn cakes were incredible and out of our expectation, the whole fish was great just as expected. A bit shame, tiger prawn was over cooked in the tomyum soup and fried rice was not dried enough, otherwise would have been 5 stars. Medium to high price, huge portion. High chair available and staff super friendly with kids is definitely a plus, inside the restaurant was slightly warm in hot summer nights.
Been coming here many times. Great atmosphere friendly staff and foods are amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant.
My trip to Wellington had me thinking I would not find a good meal in the city. In desperation we tried this restaurant. At last a great meal, friendly staff. Ahhhh thank goodness.
Very nice foos, a bit on the expensive side but with very generous portions. The Sleepy Pig entree and Sweet Piglet are amazing, as well as the mussamun curry 👌 Service was polite and very nice; they forgot one of our starters but git it sorted very fast. I would recommend it !!
Excellent service! We got a voucher for this. When we got into the restaurant, there was a sudden power cut. Dishes were limited, we only relied on tea light candles. We decided to go to another restaurant instead. Booked this place for another day (this time our voucher expired) they still honoured our voucher due to the power cut cancellation. Staff are very efficient and easy to talk to, food serving is huge and tasty. Will definitely come back
