Cô Ba Restaurant — Restaurant in Christchurch

Very very disappointed in our most recent experience. We had visited many times before for takeaway and always had a great feed. This particular time our portion sizes were absolutely abysmal. We ordered the beef hot plate at $25.50, only to get home and realise there was less than 8 pieces of beef and barely any vegetables at all to accompany. We also had several other dishes which were also disappointing in size. We rang Co Ba as soon as we opened our dinner, only to be answered with "I'll pass that onto the chef". We offered to email in our photos to which they didn't seem to care for that either. It's unfortunate that our opinion on this restaurant has soured, we will not be returning nor recommending this...

Was worst meal I have had in years Got the smallest amount of rice My chicken larb gai had absolutely no flavour , Thrown salad leaves took up half my main no dressing , no flavour that was plain as Meal was cold upon delivery although I paid for priority order My pork spare ribs was not spare ribs it was basically 4 ribs stuck together not pulled apart with absolutely no flavour at all Coming home from a 6 week trip to New Orleans where I had slippery mushrooms , awful mozzarella fried chips . I was looking forward to this This meal was the worst I have had as a adult and I am 53 I will never order from CO BA again it was disgusting and a waste of my money I will be posting how rubbish this meal was I did not like...

Disappointed – Not worth the hype I came here with high expectations after seeing many great reviews and photos, but was let down.

The roasted red pork (moo daeng) was dry and dark in colour—looked old and overcooked. The crispy pork (moo krob) was a tiny portion and seemed like it had been re-fried multiple times. Only the sauce was enjoyable.

The Thai iced tea was overly sweet with no tea flavour at all.

The Kuay Jub was bland and lacked the usual five-spice aroma. Even after seasoning, it didn’t improve. Toppings were generous, but the boiled egg that had been deep-fried didn’t suit the dish.

Overall, the food didn’t meet expectations and felt overpriced for...
