Thai Archer Restaurant — Restaurant in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

Under New Management – Restored to Past Glory!!!!

Was amazing ages ago but gone downhill last few years. Decided to try again and found out it’s under new management.

New extended menu with more ethnic Thai dishes. Large portions for an upmarket restaurant. Friendly and Attentive customer service. Relaxed home-like atmosphere. Very spacious restaurant – great for large work parties, banquets and gatherings. Interior decorations and framed pictures provide a great immersive experience.

Highlight is the Pla Rad Prik (Deep Fried Whole Snapper with vegetables and Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce), Pad Thai Goong (Prawn Pad Thai), Duck Kata (Roasted Duck cooked in spices,grapes, pineapple and vegetables served on a sizzling hot plate)

Amazing Dessert Menu includes the ever popular Thai Tea with its own unique beautiful dark orange color and smoky-creamy taste.

Enter: Chang beer. The noble Thai lager. I clutched it like a life raft made of barley and logic. It was cold. It was crisp. It made eye contact with my soul and whispered, “You’re not ready, but I’ll help.”

The chicken skewers? Yes, there were chicken skewers. I believe they were delicious, but the soup had by then taken me on a personal journey through time and minor spiritual rebirth.

I left changed. Not necessarily for the better, but...

We have been coming to this place for almost 3 yrs. we have brought a quite number of people here to celebrate.. it was just recently that when we requested for a chilli and soy sauce they said that we need to pay extra dollar each each i ask how come when we have been coming to to this place and this is the first time that we have been asked to pay.
