D.

From the moment we walked in the door we could tell this was going to be a great experience. The staff we attentive without being overboard, they knew the menu and gave great recommendations. The food was perfection on a plate in both presentation and taste. The restaurant is as busy but at no stage did the level of service drop at all. David and the team have come up with another winner and we will definitely be back.

T.

Absolutely delicious! I am so glad they made a space for us. We had squid, the flaming seafood bowl, and duck fried rice, and it was all superb. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was comfortable and quiet enough that we could still have a conversation while we ate.

T.

Great food and lovely staff with nice interior. However, the waiter was a bit off his game and a bit forgetful, bringing 2 dishes we didnt order and bringing rice and roti only at the end of the dinner. Also i was a bit underwhelmed with the menus (ripped and mostly dirty) that reminded me of a fast food place. The outside sign also looks a bit outdated.

U.

Friendly, fast, tasty and a nice place to spend an evening. We had a variety of small dishes and a couple of cocktails. Prawn and corn dumplings were amazing! The rest of food and drinks didn't disappoint either. This was after following Google recommendations.😋 Thank you all

E.

Dinner was delicious. Service was great! Would recommend the pad Thai it was so yummy. The space is really cool and the wine rack is awesome! Food and drink service is prompt and they had no problem seating 6 walk ins.

M.

Lovely restaurant with fast, friendly service. Luckily we came in as walk ins before the dinner rush as it filled up pretty quickly. The salt & pepper squid was good & the pork. Food came out very quick👌🏼

G.

Absolutely amazing food! I had the lamb curry and hubby had, flaming shellfish. Devine flavours!!! We booked a 1st table, which mean the whole food bill was 50% off!! We will definitely return even at full price as it's well worth every mouthful.

G.

One of the best meals I had in Queenstown. Omg! What a culinary experience! Everything was absolutely delicious, we ordered entrees of shrimps and fried squid, we shared Duck fried rice, prawn and pork belly pad Thai (THE BEST), and the flame seafood bowl, that was literally in flames! To complete with the pork belly and prawn salad! Exquisite! Also, $10 cocktails from 5-6 was perfect for the evening. We closed with a delicious Vietnamese coffee pannacotta. Best meal I had in a while

D.

We were so pleased with our order! My bf had duck fried rice which is so delicious and unique. My dish was Hanoi rice noodles (bun cha), which is a typical dish that you will see in every Vietnamese restaurant, but I have to say it was the best among bun cha that I have tried before! Rich in flavor, big in portion, and the soup wasn’t TOO SWEET. Too bad we discovered the restaurant just before we flew back to Auckland, otherwise we would definitely come back everyday for other dishes lol.

C.

The most exceptional Padthai (pork 'n' prawn) I've ever eaten! Hubby had Pork sweet 'n' sour.

M.

Paddy Caddy's staff is so accommodating. We don't have bookings (I honestly don't know that you need to have a booking), but you can still eat without a booking depending if there's availability. The food is so mouth watering. We ordered BBQ baby back ribs and it melts in your mouth 😋 Vietnamese Beef Pho is nice also, you can add some spice (depending on how you want your soup to be spicy)

T.

We enjoyed our dining experience so much that we went back again before leaving Queenstown. The food is delicious and the service is great. Save some room for the Tapioca dessert, it is fantastic.

A.

Great Asian fusion food and great atmosphere. Food was great tasting, crunchy when it needed, and melt in your mouth when it needed to be. The menu also had something for everyone, for those not so keen in Asian food, to vegans, to those who want a pure Asian experience. Will definitely be going back again.

J.

Very tasty food and super friendly personnel. I highly recommend eating there and will come back!

S.

The food and service was outstanding! Our waiter Thiago was so lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. The Crispy Half Duck was absolutely divine!! We will definitely be back.

L.

Love the HaNoi Rice Noodle here! Amazing service and friendly staff. Will definitely come back.

M.

Amazing decor with a funky tree wine rack! The food will set all your taste buds off. And the Chilli Margarita has a nice kick to it. Make sure you try this one when you are in Queenstown!

F.

Asian Vietnamese fusion cuisine. The food was very tasty and came very fast. The staff were also friendly and helpful aswell. Abit pricey for the portion sizes but it's Queenstown so if you not spending don't come haha

R.

My friend and I had dinner here. We shared four of their tapas plates. Each plate was flavorful and delicious! Our favorite was the sticky spare ribs. A MUST. The meat falls right off the bone.

M.

A fantastic mix of Asian food to suit all tastes. Our meals were delicious and the service was lovely. Definitely put Paddy Gaddy on your must-do list.

N.

Wasn't sure when we arrived as there were a lot of empty seats. All I can say is a great find and amazing food, nicely spiced and cooked to perfection. We had smalls - popping prawns, salt and pepper squid, vegan dumplings, sticky pork ribs. Mains - pork and prawn pad thai, duck fried rice, mekong chicken curry. Will definitely go back and would recommend to all. Thanks guys

H.

Best Asian restaurant in town! I spent 5 days in Queenstown and came here twice. Everything was so delicious, from entrees, main to dessert, especially Hanoi Rice Noodles 😊 Great foods and service. Highly recommend!

N.

Absolutely amazing. Service was friendly and efficient, cocktails were delicious ( I recommend the lychee martini). The food was out of this world, the flavours were so complimentary to each other and very tasty. Both the lamb rack and half crispy duck were outstanding. The atmosphere was relaxed and also family friendly. 100% recommend if you are looking for a place to eat.

P.

Food was epic ! You must try the crispy duck - even if you're not usually a fan of duck. A few of our table weren't but everyone LOVED that dish. Great service too

K.

Been in Queenstown 4 days and came here twice, if you like Asian Fusion food go here, my wife is Thai our friends Kiwis all loved it and wanted to come back. Try the Pho, five spice chicken and the Hanoi rice noodles these are dishes we had again, if we were here longer we would come back. Staff friendly and service great, prices fair and portions generous. Thank you for our two night of lovely food

D.

What a great restaurant! Came here 3 days in a row in our stay in Queenstown! Everything we had was amazing! Curries, buns, dumplings even drinks! If you like Asian food Paddy Gaddy is a must try!!

O.

Consistently good Asian inspired dishes and excellent service . Irish guy who I think represents Maitre D could possibly be less full of himself but applause to all those on the floor and in the kitchen who work flat out without stop to provide a wonderful gastronomic experience ….

S.

Excellent service! Not the most perfect Asian cuisine in Queenstown but hey atleast you can tell they put so much efforts into this place, the other stir fried dishes weren’t my cup of tea,but you can never go wrong with Pho🍲 I can eat that everyday. Overall I was very pleased with my experience, I’d definitely come back when i get the chance to visit Queenstown 😊

G.

Creative and well thought flavour combinations. Cool ambiance and efficient service. We had five entrées so we barely ordered one main. The pandan tapioca dessert is mind blowing. Great value for the price. Totally recommended.

N.

Overpriced for a mediocre experience. The high quality ingredients did not come together to make a fulfilling meal. P/s: visited on the 14th of Nov, 2019

J.

Great Atmosphere Loves the food Definitely recommend

M.

Really exceptional food. We had calamari which was well seasoned and cooked, with delicious mayo to go along. Pork ribs were tender and glaze nice and sticky. Dumplings charred well and flavoured nicely. Chicken wings crispy and cooked perfectly. Very surprised at the inventive use of seasoning in all their dishes.

C.

I eat out a lot and this is in the top 3 meals I've ever had. Amazing vegetarian and vegan options. Couldn't recommend this place more. The food is extremely fresh, lots of vegetables in the meals, flavours were very distinct. Couldn't fault or improve on their food. Update* best coffee in queensyown as well.

R.

Excellent pan-Asian cuisine - not an easy concept to pull off successfully. Hand- made rice noodles needs a bit of work but across the board, this kitchen team know their South East Asian flavours. Huge portions. Superior service from the young man with blue hair. Cocktails - no tacky, thoughtless concoctions here. Their list was obviously developed by people who truly understand their ingredients and balance, and presented with pride. Well done.

F.

Wonderful selection and excellent dishes to choose from. Friendly staff as well.

S.

10/10 meal and experience!! We got the pork belly ribs, waygu beef, prawns, greens and duck and everything was flawless. Would also like to compliment Sarah our server, as her service was incredible!! Definitely a must-go restaurant in Queenstown.

R.

We tried Paddy Gaddy for the first time today and we loved it. Spectacular food, great flavours and lovely team. We were looked after by Thiago, he was very attentive, polite and extremely friendly. Great customer service, we would highly recommend. I could even say that this is our new favourite in Queenstown 😁👍🏻

M.

Cozy ambience , yummmy foods, and we love the music😃❤

I.

Absolutely tasty food from start to finish : salt and pepper squid was cooked right, not rubbery, summer rolls were fresh and probably the best ones I've ever had! -- heaps of vegies with pork and prawns, wrapped tightly together and served with sauce that had the perfect marrying of sweet, salty, sour and spicy! Had two salads : duck and pork/prawn -- lovely combination of flavors! Also had Hanoi noodles. First time I had this kind of soup, and it was delicious! Thought we'd try the coffee panna cotta. Glad we did! Staff and chef were very nice to give my daughter her dish on the house when she couldn't eat her first dish as it was spicy. Overall great experience. I hope to be back again!

J.

Went here for the 2nd time and the Vietnamese beef pho is my favorite 😋

G.

Didn't have great expectations. Probably because of the quirky name. Blown away by the great food. Desserts were very authentic SE Asian Top place to eat in Queenstown

J.

Tiago, one of the servers, was amazing. He was super attentive from start to finish. He had given us very good suggestions on what to order, and overall his service had made our whole experience delightful. The food was tasty as well! Will definitely come back when we visit Queenstown again!

A.

We went here twice in one day, it was that good! The breakfast was simple but delicious but the dessert was a stand out. Vietnamese coffee panacotta can't be missed, and the prawn starter was easily the best prawns I've ever had. 10/5 stars!

J.

We loved the tasty, carefully prepared dishes and the superb service. The pho was delicately flavored and my chicken dish awash with spice and the recommended roti was a great side complement. The dessert panna cotta wobbled and was simply delicious. A great night out.

F.

Absolutely ENJOYED thoroughly the meal and the service!! My friend said they made the best pho she's ever had ( and she has tried A LOT of phos everywhere). I personally loved the ribs - meat was cooked so fine that it fell of the bones easily, and the sweet and chili sauce made it taste like heaven....Definitely would come again when I'm in Queenstown in February!

S.

Honestly, the best food I have tried so far!! We started with squids and salmon rolls. Presesentation, taste and size of the portions were increible! As our mains we had the sweet n' sour pork with rice and a vegeterian plate. Mate, that was so good! I couldn't fit anything else in my belly but I finished everything!! Soo yumm! I'm the kind of person that always has room for dessert, but this time I ate so much and was so happy that we ordred coffee as a dessert. I will deffinetely come back cause I would like to try all the Gluten Free options from the menu.. and of course, have dessert! Thank you guys for a great dinner! Thank you chefs!

K.

Fantastic food, delicious cocktails, wonderful service and they were great with our toddler too. Highly recommend this place! Thanks for the great experience.

S.

Happened to come across this place when walking past and looked nice and cozy so we went in, ordered a few different small dishes and they were yum the wagu beef buns were so good aswell as the poppin prawns, definitely recommend, well priced aswell

m.

Foods were beautiful except steamed bun. The meat was way dry to eat even if it said "crispy" just dry instead of crispy. When we came into the restaurant and asked one of waitresses and she said they have a high chair but she didnt bring it untill my husband asked her it again. At the time, restaurant wasnt busy. They have a high chair but it's just for wee baby not for 15months old baby. So my daughter had to sit on the cushion as same as adults. My dauhter was almost falling off from the chair so ended up my husband had to look after her on his laps the entire time. They better get a high chair for kids. And staff talked a lot and they didn't pay attention to customers. So we needed to stand up and ask more water or a dessert menu at the counter next to the staff. Just one guy with blue green hair was friendly but other waitresses's service were average. And they served us a wrong dessert. But we had it cuz i didnt remember the name of dessert. It was a quiet time but the service was poor.

F.

Food was good but the service received by one of the staff members, who we believe was the manager as he was wearing casual attire while the other staff wore uniforms, was shocking. He brought our food out and literally threw the plates on our table and barely said two words to us. He also seemed quite rude to his staff which we observed from our table.

C.

Just wanna share our experience here in Paddy Gaddy Queenstown. Food was awesome, even more with a good customer service by a staff named Thiago. He's funny and friendly. Thanks for the good meals and amazing customer service experience!

C.

Food was delicious, highly recommend the ribs . The service was exceptional. Our waiter Thiago made great recommendations and was super nice to chat too . Loved this place

P.

The breakfast this morning for all five of us was tasty and we would have scored this eatery higher if it was not for the poor service of the waitress. We had to ask for salt pepper knives and forks and the cutlery was dirty. It looked like some of the staff could be more enthusiastic about their jobs and a smile and light conversation would have gone a long way. We felt like an inconvenience.

L.

The most amazing food!! 😍 So many insane flavours!! We love this place, perfect for sharing all those amazing dishes.

K.

Hands down, the best food we had in Queenstown! The service was A+ too

N.

Food was decent, but slightly expensive. Restaurant promotes itself as a south East Asian fusion and for the most part sticks to this. However like most things with this restaurant, it’s just a mixture of ideas. The menu did include Asian food, but also European food. Playing pop music didn’t match the south Asian theme they promote. Everyone in our group was happy with the food, however some ingredients were missing from a couple of meals which let it down slightly. Also staff appeared to be new and inexperienced. Maybe with time, this restaurant will grow into its identity better.

K.

Ate here a couple weeks back. They had the best service, amazing food. They even made my 2 year old niece a fruit platter free of charge! Was well impressed with this place. Would eat here and recommend this place a thousand times over! Thanks Paddy Gaddy!

L.

Every dish was devine, cooked to perfection. Great service and yummy cocktails. Would come back to Queenstown just to eat there.

F.

Had a great family dinner here over summer. The staff were lovely and the food delicious. Great location in amongst the action so a fun atmosphere. Will definitely eat here again.

R.

Great food, nice atmosphere and service, interesting menu. The pork bun and coffee pannacotta are a must.

V.

Was there with a party of 7, and 7 different plates. Each of them full of flavour. The pork belly is to die for! Highly recommend.

M.

One of the best restaurants we have eaten at in a very long time.....everything from entrees,mains to dessert we couldn't fault. Flavoursome and cooked to perfection. Perfect 😊

R.

Omg what can I say this place is amazing , I have traveled alot of Asia, and paddy gaddys food is right up there with some of the best restaurants. Packed with flavor and freshness ,my most recommended have to go to so far .The staff are amazing and friendly you will not be disappointed 😍😋❤

T.

Yum yum yummmm..... I love the beef noodles Pho. Make sure you try the tapioca dessert too. Tina May, NZGIRLS.CO.NZ IG: justme.and.life

C.

Definitely the most tasty food we’ve had here in Queenstown. The lamb bites were absolutely to die for. We came back specifically so that we could have these for a second (and third) time. HAVE THE LAMB BITES. They are amazing.

m.

Great food at great prices in the central pedestrian and entertainment street of Queenstown. We sat outside and watched the ebb and flow of people pass by with good friendly service and nice wine list. We’d eat here again.

P.

Pork and Prawn Pad Thai is next level . . . . .located centrally in town - service and food top class . . . . Highly recommend

D.

Had the crispy duck awesome My wife had sweet n sour pork belly just as good 💯

J.

Had the sweet and sour porkbelly with greenbeans. Found the sauce to sweet and to gingery. The exact number of greenbeans you get is three so savour them. Not enough side dish for the money you pay. I'd recommend less sauce/less sugar and ginger, more sides/beans/more food overall and lower the price then you'll have a winner. But hey I'm just a joe blog what would know. Also special pricing for locals would be nice. Cheers

김.

The fusion style fascinates my sensitivity and staffs were very nice!

D.

Food is amazing but the manager on shift ruined the experience. Extremely rude and arrogant.

A.

Went to this restaurant a few months ago and still thinking about the spring rolls I got here. Really good food!

M.

Best breakfast and the service is good. I guess there were short staff when we went but the guy managed it so well. Thank you for much and amazing work team

R.

Food was good but service was disorganized. 15 minutes between dishes. Food served a bit cold. A couple next to us got rice ten minutes after their curry, and that was cold and had to get another serving of rice.

J.

Awesome service..... The wasbi cocktail and ribs are a MUST! super accommodating and super staff!! 😍 Thank you!

J.

Been here a few times now the food is always great. Good menu with a large selection of different foods. Good atmosphere highly recommended

R.

Pork rib is full of flavour, best when you dipped with Roti. Punchy flavours you would expect in an authentic Asian cuisine.

M.

Such an unexpected expected pleasure, food amazing, decor fresh and staff were charming. Excellent range of fusion flavours . Nothing left on our shared plates

K.
