Reviews of TukTuk Waimea Restaurant

M.

The food was SO good!!!!!!! Fantastic service! The nicest Thai place I have ever been to! Lovely food presentation. Everything is fresh and full of flavour! Definitely come back again!

W.

Beautiful outdoor setting on a sunny day, good selection of Thai food with in-depth description of the dishes and you must try their lamb shank curries if opting for more fusion style.

A.

Awesome food, friendly helpful staff, and amazing location! They were able to seat our relatively large group at short notice after the Long beach made a total mess of our booking. It was on the expensive side but everything tasted great, no long waits for food. Had a wonderful evening, so glad we checked it out. Highly recommend if you are in the area. 😊

J.

Great service friendly staff and delicious Thia Food. Amazing views . Recommend to all please check it out if you haven't already A+++

D.

Actually awesome, we had the massaman curry and Pad Thai, it was delicious, good selection of drinks and great staff. Lovely anniversary dinner

J.

AMAZING food. Absolutely delicious. However, the service was very average. Had to ask for more cutlery for the table, drink order was wrong, the waitress spilled half a plate of sauce on my dress (was very apologetic) but didn't provide more napkins or offer a discount. It was a disappointment as the food was so delicious. I probably would only ever order takeaway again.

H.

The food was excellent, will definitely eat here again. One of the girls serving us was either having a bad day or just wasn't interested in providing good customer service, I'm hoping it was the former. This would have been 5 stars otherwise.

L.

Had a brilliant night here on Saturday. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was delicious! Loved the Pad Thai and will definitely be back!

P.

The most beautiful helpful place for all your Thai food. The views are awesome the staff are awesome. Seating is the best for maximum comfort and enjoyment

P.

We collected takeaway meals for the first time tonight. Spectacularly good food, friendly staff, fair prices. Really, really good. I could not recommend Tuk Tuk Waimea highly enough. Fantastic!

S.

Fresh tasty food - dishes quite similar produce with different sauces. Lovely staff. One of the few places with a seaview.

M.

We joined friends for a great dinner. Location is delightful and the restaurant interior as pleasant as the staff greeting.

T.

Enjoyed the food and it's quality. Great views upstairs on a beautiful evening. When downstairs seating and garden area sort out the restaurant should be a doozy...!

S.

Delicious food and great service, with fantastic views out to Kapiti Island. We will definitely be back.

R.

Loved It. First time having thai food and it was such a gold experience. Food was delicious and fresh and the decor and setting are lovely

C.

Helpful service, beautiful food cooked to taste. It was very busy the night we were there and we had to wait for our food but the company was good and the food worth waiting for.

M.

Great food, good price and service. One of the best Thai food places around.

P.

Wonderful, fabulous food, amazing staff will definitely return

P.

Great fare by the sea. Everything was tasty and friendly service. Laid back and not stuffy.

D.

Recently opened and as good as their Porirua restaurant. Great to have them in Waikanae.

M.

Delicious Thai food, efficient service despite buzzingly busy Saturday

P.

Delicious food and wonderful service. Would absolutely recommend

C.

Great friendly service. Great spot for a quiet drink 🍸

B.

Nice food great views on beach front

E.

Delicious food, busy with a great atmosphere.

D.

food is amazing , so good to have delicious Thai in Waikanae.

D.

Very friendly waiters and great food

T.

A cute restaurant in a converted house. Good pizzas and drinks, rustic fries are really good and filling. A bit pricey for what it is but that's the neighbourhood, so market forces. Love sitting outside on a good day and they are dog friendly. One day we will ask for a table upstairs as I imagine the view is really good from up there.

B.

Delicious food and great service. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here with friends. Perhaps just ensure you are fully stocked up on dairy and gluten alternatives for busy days, they had run out of almond milk and were unsure if they had enough gluten free bread

B.

Enjoyable and peaceful atmosphere and unique food options. We took an overseas guest who, of course, ordered the fish and chips dinner, which suited him. The mains menu is limited to only 6 entries, and perhaps a bit high priced, but the quality is definitely there.

B.

Very expensive and small servings

D.

We went here with friends who are locals to the area. We loved the food, service and casual atmosphere. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the dark chocolate tart was delicious. Worth the trip from Wellington. Definitely will be going again

G.

Great customer service. The girl that took our order was very friendly and accommodating for our family. Wish their was more options on the menu for the mains but everyone enjoyed their meals from pizza to prawn soup. A simple improvement for the restaurant would be too replace the shoe string fries with thick cut. It’s just a little higher class. And adding some decor to the lower floor would make a world of difference. Would come back again if they added a few more dishes to their menu.

H.

We dined here late January and we were stunned by the amazing food! We had the fish on the brunch menu and it hands down was the most incredible fish I have ever tasted. Came back the next night and had the lamb and king prawn share plates... absolutely divine!!! These guys have clearly put some hard work into their menu and their food and I’d confidently say the local competitors must be starting to get their sweat on. Must try. Brilliant, friendly service as well. Cheers x

A.

Burgers were very very dry. Macaroni cheese was okay. Food came out quickly and staff were polite, a bit over formal. Priced well above what we all expected to pay for portion size and overall quality.

G.

Amazing food with amazing view. loved it.Such a very gorgeous place to spend lovely moments of your life.I come here with my friends, we enjoyed a lot with yummy food and great location.Staff was very brilliant and services was fabulous.We all were impressed highly.Definitely come soon as such as possible.

O.

Went here for breakfast for my partner and my anniversary. We didn't make a booking, and they were pretty busy, but they promptly set up a table for us! We had a table upstairs with a view over the ocean out to Kapiti Island, a treat! Service was wonderful, thorough, and friendly, food was great, and we loved the creative and well brought together interior decor. A beautiful start to our anniversary day ❤

A.

Fantastic food, creative cocktails, stunning service, great views out to Kapiti Island. Really enjoyed our meal, and impressed with the staff drinks recommendations - they even swapped our drinks when the cocktail we ordered wasn't to our taste. Will be going back soon.

A.

One word. Fantastic

A.

Awesome Padt Thai. Thanks alot Daeng 😙👌

J.

Nice restaurant in a great spot with a classic Waikanae Beach, chilled out atmosphere! The food is of top quality here, using quality products and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The coffee has always been amazing throughout the years! Waimea is always worth a visit when in the area.

D.

Great food, attentive and friendly staff, and a family friendly environment. Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here

S.

Great food, service, and ambiance. Had a lovely meal salmon fillet cooked perfectly. Great wine, beer and cocktail ranges. Would highly recommend Waimea.

A.

I was at Waimea today and needed some extra help with something. One staff member in particular was unbelievably helpful. She went well out of her way for me and I was so grateful. Am very impressed. Thank you so much Waimea.

E.

Good friendly service, good food and coffee. The outdoor seating is lovely. Our table had an umbrella so we were nicely out of the sun.

S.

Great place, lovely location. Great food especially awesome woap baked cheesecake and plum gelato - amazing! Friendly staff who recommended dishes they liked. Definitely worth going back.

S.

The location really makes this place - we stopped here for lunch after a wander down the beach. Eggs bennie was excellent, as well as the lamb belly and fries for the kids. Superb coffee.

D.

Great place. Stopped in for a quick bite on a bike ride. Staff are very very good and food is amazing. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu

l.

Havnt been for awhile but but I certainly noticed the differences. The service, friendly staff and Eric was awesome. Best coffee too. Nice relaxing atmosphere, very nice afternoon.

J.

3 plus stars. Reason for that is because the service was a bit slow, the garlic bread had such a small amount of butter that we had had to ask for more. The meal? It was excellent.

R.

amazing location. went for breakfast and couldn't accommodate my request for an add on of mushrooms for the poached eggs (being a vegetarian the breakfast selection was limited) apparently the menu can not allow ANY alterations. on the other hand, my guests enjoyed their meal.

E.

Had a lovely lunch here for a joint 40th birthday celebration today. Fantastic food, excellent service and great ambience. Thank you, we will be back!
