Star Thai - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

I honestly cannot understand why this place has such a low overall review. I've been getting takeaways from Star Thai for years and they are always so fresh and delicious and incredible. Hands down the best authentic Thai place around the area. Definitely try it if you get a chance

We booked through the bookme voucher, We arrived and we were greeted with a friendly smile. The service was great. The meal portions were extremely generous and they even gave us a container to take the left overs home! Extremely happy overall!

I really enjoyed my experience at Star Thai. <br/ <br/ I went with my family and partner for my birthday and was not disappointed. We loved the quirky decor, it was slightly comical but it worked. There wasn't an amazing atmosphere but it was a rainy Thursday night and it's not in the busy part of Ponsonby, which is nice. <br/ <br/ I ordered the Tod Kra Tiam which is a chicken dish with a garlic pepper seasoning with mixed veges. The meal was delicious, the flavours were well balanced and it was very filling. It was a bit confusing that rice had to be ordered separately for some meals, not sure if that's common or not. The food looked good as well.<br/ <br/ I don't eat a lot of Thai so I can't say how it stands against other similar restaurants but everyone was happy with their meal and wasn't left hungry.

We came here last night with a grab one voucher.  We received really warm and attentive service, but we were the only ones in the restaurant.  My partner and I shared a mixed entrée, Pad Thai and a delicious chicken vege dish.  We thought the meals were tasty and well presented.  But what struck me was the small size of the meals I was paying with a grab one voucher so I didn't mind, but I wouldn't have paid full price for the size of the meals.

Reading some of the previous reviews for Star Thai Restaurant, it didn't sound all that great. Still went ahead and purchased a deal vouchers for my family to dine out for the night and experience the restaurant for myself.The experience I had with my family was very positive. The service was great, staff were very friendly and nice. On ordering the staff were very informative on the dishes in the menu and they even politely help my kids on what to order. The food came nice and hot (wasn't cold), not too spicy but tasty.Our family have dine out in a lot of places from Thai to Indian, Chinese, Japanese, European restaurant and would rate this place one of the friendliest we have ever been. I would recommend Star Thai Restaurant to my family and friends.We will dine back at Star Thai again in the near future and thanks for the great service.
