Angel Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Ōrākei

I had dinner here 3 weeks ago with friends and we were all incredibly disappointed. We arrived at 6:25pm and only got our drinks at 7:07pm, after having to ask multiple times. The waitresses did not appear to have been trained properly as we had to ask multiple times for water, tables that arrived after we ordered drinks we getting their food before we got out drinks, and another table had to go to the bar to order food as they were not checking on tables. One of the lights was flickering and hurting our eyes, the tines on the forks were all bent, and the spring roll entree appeared to be straight out of a freezer packet. They couldn't make Mimosas, they were out of pork, and there was a bone in our entree. The main dishes were nice and cooked well, but lacked a lot of flavour - if there was some spices or salt used it would have improved the dishes a lot. The main didn't come with rice which isn't unusual, however we didn't get told this until we had to ask after our dishes were served, this should have been made clear when our order was being taken - as they do at every other Thai restaurant I've ever eaten at. The "spicier" dishes had less flavour than one of the mild dishes. All four of us agreed that we would never...

We haven’t been here for a couple of years because our previous experience was just awful. But I’m thrilled to say that we had such a lovely evening. The staff were attentive, friendly and so inviting. The food arrived promptly and was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Lotus Banquet at $49.50 per person. Excellent value. We asked for “medium” spice. All the dishes were medium except for the prawn dish which was just a little too chilli for a couple of our group. Fresh, flavourful, and plentiful. The mixed appetisers, yellow chicken curry, the peppered fish, and the duck were especially good. We were also served a complimentary chicken Pad Thai, also very flavourful. We will definitely be returning as we live locally. Keep up the great food and...

Yummy food & peaceful environment, beautiful view from the windows upstairs. The lady waitress was quite rude though. I don't know if she was just grumpy that I wanted to sit by the window (there were literally only 2 others in there and almost all seats are empty), or she was judging that I won't spend lots of money on food. She was rushing me to order after I sat down for just a minute, and showed attitudes after I answered to get some water. By that point, I had not even looked at the drink menu. After I ordered food, I asked for the drink menu again, because she took it away before I even looked. I love the food, but I don't recommend coming here. There are so many nice restaurants & cafes in this area, why risk encountering bad...
