Thai Kai Restaurant — Restaurant in Wellington

First time trying in a few years as our last experience wasn't the greatest - Ordered 3 things -- combination sweet and sour - the sauce flavor was good but the quality lacked on meat - what meat there was very little of , was so chewy it was inedible , the vegetables were so largely cut to "fill the space " , $23.50 for mostly vegetables cauliflower and carrot and some overcooked chewy meat 2.Thai fish cakes - $10 . - never again. They were cold , flavourless , flat , soggy , the size of a bath plug . Please rethink your pricing here - or upsize your product . Very disappointed Combination pad Thai - little to no meat (counted approx 5-7 small slithers of mixed meat) , the sauce was extremely oily and left a terrible mouth feel . Flavor was good but again lacking on meat and the container was not full as you'd expect for nearly $25.

Won't return again any time...

Gave this one a second try because many of my friends on the coast are big fans of the restaurant. For Saturday nights ordering with at least 30 minutes advance is a must. The place is popular because the food is great. Bear in mind that if you order on the spot at the counter you are likely to have a long wait. On my first time going I was told 15 minutes delay at the moment of placing my order which I found reasonable for a busy night. That ended up being 1 hr 15 min which I timed well because I was anxiously checking my phone. Probably would've been better to at least have someone telling me after 40 minutes wait that my order was in progress. Star rating relates to food, which has fantastic portions and is great value for money. I would reccommend to have an option to order and pay online to be available, especially on...

This is the worst Thai food I have ever eaten & I have eaten a lot of Thai food. The curry puffs were alright, the tofu red curry I ordered came with beef instead of tofu which was very chewy thin strips of beef, the curry lacked flavour & was VERY watery. The beef massaman however had delicious slow cooked beef, unfortunately the curry itself lacked flavour & was also VERY watery. The satay chicken roti wrap was tasty and came with a generous serving of chicken but was very salty & I like my food saltier than most. The food took 30mins from ordering which is not too bad it did seem busy, surprisingly. The staff at the counter were very friendly. Overall a disappointing experience, I will never...
