This is one of the best Thai restaurants in Aotearoa NZ. We always come here for dinner. And they never let us down. The staff are lovely. The restaurant is clean and nice with great view outside. Food are so tasty and amazing. Porition is also quite big. My favorite dish are Pad Thi, fried fish with tamarin sauce, garlic duck, Massamun and fried rice. If you looking for quality Thai food, please come to try
Thai Friends Restaurant,Parnell is a great place to go for a delicious and authentic Thai meal. The food is cooked perfectly and served hot and fresh, and the service is attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. I would highly recommend Thai Friends Restaurant to anyone looking for a great Thai restaurant in Auckland.
On my regular Restaurant list Now. It was Great food. You can order from english menu but ask them for thai memu. It is more Authentic and tasty. Use Google translator to order but worth trying with little more effort will make you so happy. Must try somtam, salmon salad, fried rice and pork belly skewer with sticky rice. I am going there every week.
Eid Mubarak everyone 3 recommended meals from us. 1. Fresh Oyster in Thai style side and sauce: they charge only $3.50 per oyster!!!! Season order. 2. Fresh Salmon Salad. My wife recommends with fermented fish. But you can order without fermented fish. The salad taste fresh and fine Thai spice. 3. Crying Tiger grilled beef - with its sauce, Thai Friend’s Crying Tiger rattle the taste bud to another level. Don’t forget to order sticky rice to consume with the beef I used to work there 20 odd years ago as kitchenhand aka dish washer , the restaurant size is differ than it was but atmosphere is still there. Great staff Live music on SAT & SUN evening. Bon Appetite.
Very delicious Thai food. The most authentic Thai food you can find in Auckland. Friendly staff & great vibes with live music. Highly recommend for quality Thai food.
One of the worst experiences in a long time. The staff could not have been less interested in serving us and food was just average. So sad as this used to be a fantastic Thai restaurant with wonderful ambience, decor and staff. The whole place felt dirty and disheveled and the live music was a random guy crooning in what can only be described as a karaoke style. Very disappointed- we won’t be back
Very average Pad Thai takeaway, so average that I took it back and got a refund. The staff thought it was funny -I'm sure the owner doesn't think its particularly funny when they lose long term customers who live in Parnell. For an iconic Parnell Thai restaurant, the takeaway food quality and consistency has been decreasing over the last 6 months.
Food was delicious and live guitarist gave it a very chill and nice place to eat.Recommended dishesPrawn Pad Thai Noodles
My partner and I went here for an early birthday dinner. Awesome homely feel, super friendly staff, and the food!!! Hot damn the food is good. The food was fresh, delicious and left us both wanting to order more and more! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the neighbourhood or a Thai food fan. Also can’t beat the prices, especially in Parnell/CBD area. Awesome spot
We just tried the grilled pork with stick rice at Thai Friend restaurant for the first time. The pork was perfectly cooked and juicy. The skicky rice was well cook. The flavors were all perfectly balanced and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy.Food: 5/5
