Description

Tucked in Taumarunui, this Thai eatery is a local hidden gem known for authentic flavours, generous portions and warm, speedy service in a comfortable, bustling setting. Highlights include moist peanut sauté chicken and rich yellow curry; many diners praise value and quick turnaround. Expect some inconsistency—certain dishes can be under-spiced or bland and service occasionally forgetful. Important note for visitors: the restaurant is cash-only, with no credit, international or contactless payment options, so plan to use a nearby ATM.

Coming here as an Asian, the food is great, we had the prawn tom yum soup noodles and vegetarian fried rice was amazing honestly, it brought us back to Asia. The pad thai still isn't as similar to asian country, was abit too sweet and dry, but other then that it was alright. This place is great, the service people were kind and helpful. The spices in the food was well placed, as expected cause the chefs were thai. Wonderful place Food: 4

Years ago i used to frequent this town on my route from Whanganui to Auckland for work/classes. I happened to stop by once and tried their Thai food. It was so good i still dream about it and i currently live in Asia! Had to meet the amazing chef and looks like they are still serving up amazing food. Hope to visit again one day!
