Reviews
Their food was exceptionally good with ample variety of food dishes. The staff was good and service was prompt. The interior was bit old but organized in good way. We tried Pad Thai and chicken skewers. The taste was authentic and well presented.
If we get chance again, definitely we will try their food again.
If I could give zero stars, I would. This was hands down the WORST dining experience I’ve ever had.
1. Poor Service: We ordered just two main dishes for four people (clearly mentioned we were sharing while ordering). Yet, the clueless waitress kept asking if we needed big plates to share. How else were we supposed to eat? Isn’t that common sense?
2. Soup Disaster: Ordered a main-sized soup, and it arrived cold. When I asked for a candle to keep it warm (as most decent Thai restaurants do), they said they don’t provide candles.
3. Lack of Basics: They brought us the soup without bowls. When we asked for them, the response was, “Oh, do you need bowls? Fine, I’ll get them.” Excuse me? That’s not a favor; it’s basic service!
4. Horrible Food: The taste of the food was abysmal. We tried the “Spicy Girl” tofu dish, and it was disgusting—absolutely inedible.
5. Overall Experience: The food and service were equally terrible. We’ve dined at Thai Chef branches in Auckland (when it was open) and Christchurch, and they were fantastic. This New Plymouth branch is an absolute disgrace.
If you’re local and don’t know better, maybe you’ll tolerate it. But as a tourist, I strongly recommend staying away. It’s nothing like the high-quality experience you’d expect from a Thai Chef restaurant.
Don’t waste your time or money here!
The bonus was the willingness to adjust for ingredient intolerance.
We enjoyed our visit.
Did order crispy chicken for take away and it was soggy when we opened it at home – would advise against this if you are not dining in
