C.

This is such a lovely spot to have lunch! It is a hidden gem in Taumarunui, we ate here after a long day of work and had the most delicious lunch. The service was excellent will definitely be coming back.

J.

Lovely Thai basil fried beef dish. Nice to find this here on my transit. Will definitely be back.

P.

It was so good we went there twice :) and I ordered the same meal too. Good cooking, good food and just an easy night. Was happily surprised at the walk ins and the number of takeaways. A very good night (both times)

D.

I keep dreaming about the crispy pork red curry. I had just a quick stop in Taumarunui and decided to eat here. It’s great food and I’m so happy I had this amazing curry!

G.

Excellent service and very tasty food. We always ask for medium spicy and this was spot on. We had the Pad Thai and the panang with chicken and both were excellent 👌👌.

C.

Stopped for a quick lunch and was surprised how delicious the food was. Could say its better than most expensive thai restaurants out here. The place was full and busy but had our food ready in less than 5mins. Portions were generous that all of us had trouble finishing our orders. My mates enjoyed their food as well. Definitely value for money.

k.

Love the authentic food and the fast service.

A.

Nice restaurant in town. Quite busy always. Good breakfasts and Thai food!

P.

What a big surprise to find a Kiwi-Style Cafe (and Bar) serving Thai food in New Zealand! Coffee was as good as any other coffee in typical Kiwi Cafe while the Thai food we ordered were surprisingly good. We had a deep-fried pork on rice and a Thai-style omelette on rice. They are not on the typical food on the menus of Thai restaurants in New Zealand. These are simple, made-to-order, hot food that you can order from any street food vendors selling rice dishes in any part Thailand. Well done !

S.

Amazing food and fabulous service. Highly recommend

T.

Delicious, fast and friendly service, many vegetarian/ vegan options. Good value for money.

L.

A great stop for lunch before you heading to forgotten highway. It is so yummy with lots of ingredients. Run by thai people. So it is absolutely authentic...

T.

Really great Thai food after a hard day riding the 42 traverse Well worth a visit if your close by.

J.

Came here for lunch and had Pad Thai and the Chicken & Cashew Nut Curry. Perfect portion size for lunch and very reasonable prices—pretty much everything on the menu is $10.50 or $12.50! Would highly recommend the food too!! Extremely tasty, fresh and feels authentic :)

H.

It's ok compared to other Thai restaurants. Some of the dish we're tasty others were tangy...

M.

Good variety of kiwi and Thai menu. Appreciated the friendly service, staff are always with a smile. Accepts cash and card. We enjoyed the Tom yum soup and phad Thai noodles.

V.

Service staff is not friendly. Food is okay. Not authentic. Tom yum soup was neither spicy nor sour enough. The fish we ordered is not fresh. Serving is not generous.

M.

Really good fresh Thai food, and coffee too (better than most Welly coffee)

B.

Ordered Massamam Curry and Panang. Top notch curry. A little on the pricier side, 100% worth every $ spent.

D.

The service was excellent God coffee and yummy toasted sandwich

M.

What a nice surprise to find this place after a whole day skiing. Normally hard to find anything other than MacDonalds on the way to Auckland. Food was fresh and quickly served.. absolutely a place to stop.

A.

Lovely food and great service. Highly recommended. Thanks

T.

Beautiful Breakfast! Thank you so much 😊 I had Bacon, egg, tomato & cheese croissant with side salad #Delish! My darling had bacon & egg burger with salad & what seemed like homemade patty #Amaze! 😊

M.

Love going here when I am in Taumarunui.Food is great.

P.

Had the Crispy Pork with warm salad, I liked it better last time, with rice.

M.

They serve good portion size meals. Dishes taste good but way too saucy. The soy sauce is a bit overpowering but then again it might just how that dish is typically cooked. The bubble tea is not your typical chewy pearl tea. The bubbles are like...well..bubbles, wherein when you bite or just press your tongue on it, the chosen flavor will burst in your mouth. Place is clean and quite popular.

O.

What a gem! A massive range of food and extensive drinks menu. Open for breakfast and all day. We came in for dinner and were thoroughly impressed. Mains were very generous and reasonably priced too - around $20 each. Great service and overall a very good experience. Definitely recommended if you’re in town.

R.

Quick easy tastier great service

B.

Quick service, worth stopping at for lunch with the lunch special!

M.

Didn't eat there but I know this lady is lovely and worth supporting. She helped us out when we were lost and I also know she put up a guy who was lost at night! Just a nice person!😊👍

N.

Yeuss! Great coffee. I'm so looking forward to trying the food. My friends say it is Devine.

R.

Had the chicken and cashews, was absolutely delicious.

M.

Nice hot coffee, hamburger and wedges.

J.

Great food and the staff are amazing!

T.

Always amazing food. The specials are just to die for, and their starters are so good I can never choose and have to go for the mixed selection. New fave is in the #70's (bacon, glass noodle, ginger and more served in a special pot) 😁😍 Great place to celebrate a birthday or a night out from the kids, its my go to date night venue. And they have the basics to satisfy the most plain jame kiwi if one joins you. (Steak & chips, standard kids menu)

S.

Good value for money. The non-Thai food are good value for money. The hamburger and chips are a great meal. The Green Thai curry is best in class and can't be faulted. Great service if you dine in or order via telephone. Definitely to be recommended. Keep up the good work guys!

k.

Nice staff fast at getting orders out

O.

Considering the random mix of food on offer (cafe breakfast through to Thai dinner) we were very happy with our meals here. The chicken Pad Thai and crispy pork Pad Thai were excellent! Would happily go back any day and recommend to others.

J.

LOVELY AUTHENTIC THAI FOOD. Enter into this cafe and enjoy the aroma coming from the kitchen. We really enjoyed our prawn and vege stir fry with cashews, which was served within 10 minutes. They also had a Thai cooking show playing on the TV which was interesting. Nice place, I'd definitely go again!

I.

Portions are small for the price you pay compared to Otahuhu food court, Westfield Manukau food court and Manukau food junction where the price is great and potions are huge. Jasmine's Cafe red curry is the worst I have ever tasted way too thick and it's not red. Doesn't look nor taste like red curry should. Green curry not good either.

A.

Nice Thai food. Not amazing but definately one of the best options in taumaranui. About $20 for mains. Very fast!

L.

Always excellent food and awesome service. Will try breakfast next week.

T.

When travelling to Auckland we stop in Taumaranui because we love this Cafe & Restaurant. The food is always delicious and nicely presented, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. 👍👍👍👍👍

D.

Friendly service and good food 😊

S.

We stopped for lunch in this town. Pad Thai was one of the best I had. Kids loved the food. Green curry is also nice. Service is fast. Visit again

l.

Had dinner there tonight. Friendly staff. Entree very nice. Main meal very disappointing. Chicken in oyster sauce. More mushrooms than anything else. Sauce had no flavour/watered down. Where's the spices? None.

P.

The tap water is quite simply undrinkable. It tastes very earthy. Beyond that the food is OK. I had the green curry. Small looking portion but enough to fill me up. Nothing special but not bad

M.

Although my meal was reasonable, I did ask for Thai Hot but found it weak so was slightly disappointed. My friends meals were bland to taste and not the usual Thai colours you would expect to see. With other Thai meals had around NZ which were really tasty and well presented I struggled to give this one a 3. The reason, the staff were pleasant and service good.

G.

Stopped in for breakfast in way through Taumarunui. Ordered eggs Benedict x2, fried eggs and scrambled eggs. Service was fantastic, lovely front counter lady and nice eating area. Scrambled eggs were good, the other three meals eggs were overcooked, no runny egg yolks, eggs were cooked solid. Not ideal for eggs benny.

k.

More food than I had expected. Fastest service I've ever had, literally just 5 minutes. Crazy good taste!!

J.

Nice fish and chips and quick service great for a working lunch

J.

Great Thai food good selection of vegetarian dishes available on the menu I had a Thai hot red vegetarian curry you can coffee and bacon and eggs too open 8am 9pm 7 days a week keep up the good work guys thanks for the great food🤠

B.

Good friendly staff, good food, good prices. Overall good but not great.

C.

Food lovely. Corkage 6.80 per bottle Staff efficient but not particularly friendly

R.

Only get to visit about once a year, with exceptional quality and value every time. Love the seafood and green pepper corns!

B.

The food here is soooo good! Fast and friendly service. One of those hidden gems.

N.

The best restaurant u can find in Taumarunui. Fast and friendly service despite the crowd. Excellent food! The thai food is as authentic as you can get in Thailand. Love it! Wayyyyy better service and food compared to Zars Cafe or Golden Kiwi. Amazing!

K.

Popped in for a burger. Nice burger $8.50 steak and egg. Bit too heavy on the mayonnaise, very messy to eat, but yum. Liked the coleslaw and vege/meat ratio.

P.

Quick service, food was ok

L.

Got some tofu, with red curry it was fine but with green curry I wouldn't eat it again. The free water you get there was really bad. I accidentally ordered some rice that wasn't like 3 dollars it was 13,50 just for some egg and broccoli in it.

D.

Brilliant food, stopped here late on my way south and the service was excellent, staff were friendly, and food was delicious!

T.

As a Thai food lover, the Red Curry is the best curry I've had in NZ, strongly recommend!

J.

Good eating options: tea/coffees thru full meals. Licensed. Open pretty long hours

W.

Handy local shop serving almost everything. The hot chips were good too

G.

Excellent food, great services and ambient

L.

We were expected to fit 6 people around a 4 person table and staff was annoyed because we put 2 small tables together. Initially received a few meals that were for another table. The meals themselves were ok.

B.

The Ocean Thai has so much fish!!!!

H.

Really good satay skewers! Cashew nut dish also really had that edge. We would visit again but we’re on a one way trip to a volcano.

M.

One of the best restaurant, Amazing foods and drink were delicious. Excellent eating experience...server was very friendly and helpful.

M.

Great service. Great food. Amazing coffee!

S.

Food was good. Nice spot to eat on the way to Tongariro. The cashew chicken dish was delicious. The pad thai was ok, the thai fried rice could have been better.

E.

Sorry the food was amazing that I ate it all before I could take a photo. Green Curry duck is way off the charts. Definitely give it a go.

M.

Tom Yum thai soup is a must try here! Super-amazing fresh thai food i ever had.

J.

Good value for money, clean, ample menu, well presented food and friendly staff.

A.

Earns its place as one of the two best places for dinner in Taumarunui. Like many "Thai" restaurants in NZ, most menu options have been adjusted to suit local/NZ palates.

R.

During my short stay in Taumarunui, I had two meals here. Beautiful food and friendly service. Thank you

A.

Very clean toilet Good to see hand sanitizer out and covid 19 code avao

Best food in Taumaranui, love the Pad Thai. If going at lunch ask for the lunch menu, it is cheaper but probably smaller in portion.

Great food value. polite and helpful. After a track day at Fielding, a long drive, the food was top notch. Ian n Greg #79

(Translated) Full of delicious Thai food, I came here today and ordered two dishes with my friends, including Thai fried rice with fried pork and pork fried with seasonal vegetables. The taste is not the same as when I ate it in Chiang Mai, but it is very appetizing. The fried rice has a slight sweetness, combined with the refreshing seasoning of tomato and cucumber. This match is quite good. In addition, I ordered a cup of iced coffee latte, which tasted ordinary, but I need to cheer up because I have to drive to the restaurant later. My friends have a good price for the food in this restaurant. It's a pity that when we arrived at the restaurant, it was already over 5, and lunch and burger were not served. Otherwise, I originally wanted to order Kiwi sandwich, which felt very special. Generally speaking, it is a restaurant with good food and service. The portion is a bit too much, and girls may not be able to finish it. After eating, you can go to the newworld supermarket next door to buy something and go home. (Original) 滿好吃的泰國料理，今天到這裡與朋友點了兩道菜，有泰式炒飯加炸豬肉以及豬肉炒時蔬。與在清邁時吃的味道不太一樣，不過很對胃口。炒飯有些許的甜味，配合番茄與小黃瓜的清爽調味。這個搭配算是滿不錯的。另外點了一杯冰拿鐵咖啡，味道普通，不過由於等下要開車去飯店需要打起精神。朋友對這家的料理平價不錯。可惜的是我們到餐廳的時候已經超過5點，沒有供應Lunch跟burger，不然原本想點Kiwi sandwich,感覺蠻特別的。總體而言是間料理跟服務都不錯的店。份量有點多，女生可能會吃不完。吃飽後可以到隔壁newworld超市買個東西在回家

Y.

(Translated) Pad thai tastes very authentic, very authentic Thai restaurant, tastes far better than many Thai food in Auckland. Very recommended. (Original) Pad thai味道很正宗，非常地道的一家泰餐馆，口味远胜很多奥克兰的泰餐。非常推荐。
