Auckland Flatbush Thai Food Review

Boat Noodle Soup Shines, But Spice Lovers Beware 🌶️ If you’re in East Auckland or passing through Flatbush and craving Thai, Khao Hom Thai Kitchen is a decent option—flavors are fine overall, but if you live for heat, temper your expectations. 🍜 Dish-by-Dish Boat Noodles (Beef) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Rich, savory broth—the star of the meal! Must add their special chili powder: spicy-sweet and deeply layered 🌶️🍬 Tom Yum 🌟🌟🌟 Okay but forgettable, like an upgraded instant noodle soup. Basil Rice 🌟🌟🌟 Tastes more like stir-fried pork with green peppers—barely any basil fragrance. Medium spice had zero kick; try “extra spicy” if you dare. Oysters Fresh enough, but the chili sauce lacks punch—Nanathai’s zestier version pairs better 🦪 Thai Iced Tea Extremely sweet! Better with extra water or ice 🥤 💡 The Verdict Generally safe flavors, but spice levels are mild—good for those who prefer less heat. Mid-range pricing: ~$110+ for two (including oysters). Boat noodle broth and house chili powder are highlights; order others selectively. 📍 Khao Hom Thai Kitchen (near Flatbush) 📌 Booking recommended, especially weekends Come for the boat noodles if you’re in the area; if you crave fiery, tangy Thai, you might want to look elsewhere. #AucklandThaiFoodReview #KhaoHomThai #BoatNoodleLove#FlatbushEats #EastAucklandDining #ThaiFoodGuide#FoodReview #EatsDiary #AucklandFoodScout
