This is the BEST Thai Restaurant in Auckland, (located in Remuera). You will not be disappointed by the amazing flavors. If you are after Thai - this is the one to order from. We LOVE the Thai Green chicken curry. Make sure you order early as this place gets busy (because it is so yummy). You can eat in the restaurant or get take out. This can also be ordered and delivered by UBER EATS for extra $5.
