Hoon Hay Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Christchurch

Did a Lunchtime takeaway today. 2x Chicken Satay and 1x Money bags for entrée. First point is their prices have gone up to $12 from $10 but their sign still says $10. I ordered and was charged $30. Money bags were $6 - half the price of a meal but there were only 4 of them! The main meals were served in a standard size plastic container but the boiled rice was in there as well and it only 3/4 filled the container! The Satay "Chicken" was mostly vegetables with 4-5 pieces of Small bits of shaved chicken packed out with Broccoli and other vegetables. No exaggeration, I was still hungry afterwards and had a SANDWICH! I would not return there, but would instead stick to going to our local Thai "Rendezvous" in Barrington where we usually go - but thought we might try somewhere else on this occasion only to be very disappointed. The only reason I did not give it 1 star was because what food there was, was reasonably tasty albeit with the...

There was a really lovely atmosphere about it and my partner and I were feeling Thai for dinner, a perfect place for a date night we thought. It was really quite busy, although after eating there I can't see why. The food was pretty mediocre for the price - the green curry was super watery, the chicken wings were overcooked, and the drunken noodles were bland and rubbery (the meat was pretty good though, compared to everything else anyway). I also couldn't believe we were paying $5 for a drink the size of a can of soda. Overall, I can't say I hated the place, but I can say that I won't be going back. I think my partner and I will stick with our local even if it means a bit of an extra drive to go to CHILLIKIWI Thai Kitchen over in Papanui. To sum it up - the staff were lovely, the place was a vibe, but the food was NOT it - if this was my first time experiencing thai food, it would probably be my last based on the...

1 hour wait for delivery. Ordered online, where it stated 40 minutes for delivery once I completed the order. I might have missed seeing that before I completed, I wouldn't have gone through with the order if I had seen it was that long. Anyway, it took an hour. I ordered medium duck curry, which was extremely hot and i ended up just picking the meat out. The pad thai I ordered for my grandaughter ended up just getting thrown out. It was very tomato tasting and had a slimy texture. I tried it, and so did my son, and it wasn't nice. Never had one like that before. The chicken satay entree was very nice. Thank goodness, as that was all we could eat! What a...
