We enjoyed a delightful dinner on December 22, 2021, featuring baked fish, filet, laarb chicken, and duck curry. The pork belly with vegetables was absolutely delicious. We ordered three starters and five main courses, all served family style with white rice. View all feedback.
What Sierrah Currie dislikes about Thai Sunshine:
I had a takeaway Pad Thai sadly one of the worst I’ve had. Waited 30 mins and it just tasted like sweet chili sauce on noddles. Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 View all feedback.
While the ambiance of this restaurant might not be its strongest point, it certainly excels in both service and food. The portion sizes were ample for the price, the staff was attentive and prompt, and the seasoning was perfectly balanced. Thank you very much!
This charming eatery is located just off the main road in the Gisborne City Centre. It’s quite popular, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. The food is definitely very good, and the selection of specials is worth trying. Despite being busy, the staff provide a commendable customer experience. The only downside was the sticky rice and mango dessert (a well-loved Thai dish), which contained frozen mangoes. While I understand the need to use frozen mangoes to keep costs down, I believe they should be thawed before serving; it really detracted from an otherwise excellent dish. I will definitely return when I'm in the area next time.
The fried fish, fillet, laarb chicken, and duck curry were absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the pork belly with vegetables, which was fantastic. Our dinner on December 22, 2021, included three appetizers and five main courses, served family-style with white rice.
The most delicious and authentic Thai foods during our trip, a hidden gem in Gisborne that amazed us with their Tamarind fish dish and sizzling Black pepper beef (Well Done to the Chef). The lovely lady that served us was friendly and very accommodate.
Amazing service and food is sooooo good 10 out of 10 for the coconut rice and satay delicious
