Franchised Thai restaurant, we've been to the Wellington one before and first time in this christchurch branch. Fusion decor with Thai centric, variety seating arrangements flexible for groups of different sizes. Great services, staff are all very nice and friendly, happily packed left over for us to take home. Great location with free parking at rear but easily missed, though there's a carpark right next to it, their customers are not allowed to park there. We had a whole fish with special Thai sauce (we had the same thing in Wellington branch before and it was amazing BTW) the fish was not fresh, despite it being deep-fried, we could still smell it not being fresh. Also ordered a squid pad Thai, we didn't order seafood pad Thai to avoid cheap frozen seafood mix from the supermarket, but the squid was also not fresh. Slightly disappointed.

We did Uber Eats for dinner and got the mixed entree. Bad bad idea. I’m not even sure what we got in the mixed entree but one of them was some sort of mushroom that was absolutely disgusting and I just about 🤮. We left the rest of the entire entree as it just was not good. However, the Royal Panang curry was DELICIOUS. I chose crispy pork for the meat and although the skin wasn’t crispy because it had been in the curry it was soooooo good. That was the redeeming part of our order! It was medium hot which was pretty flipping hot!! Just on the cuff for my tolerance but I could eat it and the curry sauce was just divine. Creamy and peanutty and filled with all those good flavours. Just for that alone I would go back.

The original Thai taste. I really love this restaurant. Services are exceptional, the waiter is nice and gentle. The food is all excellent. I ordered Beef with Black pepper and my friend ordered Fried Rice. I like fried rice so much. I gave a compliment to the Chef and Kitchen team. A restaurant is huge and there is a funcion room and also Karaoke for singing a song as well. 5 star restaurant. The best Thai restaurant in Christchurch. I will come back again.
