It’s our regular take out Thai restaurant, the portion is always huge for two persons. They also cater to Asians who love spicy, the spicy level is similar to what you can get in Thailand. It’s usually about 30-50 nzd for two persons if you order 2-3 dishes.
Pretty decent Thai restaurant with a wide range of options, excellent service, and well priced meals. The restaurant is surprisingly empty a lot of the time which is a shame because it's a lovely place for a catch up. The food tastes pretty good and the service is genuine.
Absolutely yum food. I love their garlic rice and it can be just eaten by itself like a rice dish.. they have a good quantity and it's easy to order extra from their side menu and also easy to overeat because the curries are so good. Each thing on menu is nice and distinct. Very good and friendly staff.. I wonder I don't see many people dine there.. but preffer alot of takeaways... for me it's a comfort meal everytime.
The best thai place out there delicious authentic and great food and value for money. Me and my partner go their frequently and we wouldn't go elsewhere! Keep it up
I've been to a few Thai restaurants around auckland and I have to say that Chill Out Mt Albert is still my favourite. I've tried the many dishes from here and my top are the tom yum soup, moo tod (to date my fav dish), penang curry, pad thai ( tofu tastier than the meat options O_o). I have always enjoyed the food. I wouldn't bother with the appetizers however as they didn't quite cut it for me. I enjoy the dine in experience and on those lazy days I get take out, no complains about either. I have on a couple of occasions got food delivered to New Windsor and both times it took almost two hours to get the food. so i don't recommend it. Overall it's my fav Thai place in Auckland.
If you're not that into hot stuff, choose mild. Even medium is too hot for me! My friends who love heat and usually order hot, tried Thai hot here and couldn't handle it. Panang curry with tofu is THE BEST
I like this Thai place as much as Spices Thai. Large servings and wait staff comes along to top up your rice.
The only thing is, the ambience itself is quite dark and white and red though.
Nevertheless, nice place to grab a good hearty meal and not feel worried that it doesn't taste nice. Cause it will! A group of our friends often frequented this place after their sport matches as they have ample group seating options.
Few competition for Thai places around Blockhouse Bay and I have tried this place for the first time. Very authentic and fresh, great selections, very impressed with the price. This place is our favorite now!!! There midium hot is quite spicy as advised by staff. We are very satisfied! Recommended!
Food was great, but the seafood Pad Thai had hardly any seafood?? Apart from that we love Chill Out!! Will definitely be ordering from here again :)
If you like spicy and somewhere close to Thai authentic food visit here.
Quantity is good plus service is friendly.
I don't care about ambience when the food is great.
Been eating at this restaurant since it was just a takeaway. Now a full scale restaurant, the prices are still good and food is still delicious. Service and ambience is good. Have tried everything on the menu and cannot pick a favourite! Must visit.
Love love the food here!
Each of the times I've gotten it though it's been takeaway, but every single time the flavour is impeccable, the spiciness is perfect (also love how they have a 'kiwi' rating on it eg their medium might be 'kiwi hot' and their spicy might be 'kiwi extra hot'), and the portions are great.
My favourites are the classic Tom Yum soup and instead of getting just a side of white rice I opt to pay a bit more and get the fried rice. I've also had the flat fried noodles and the green curry, both of which are also amazing.
I always have a hard time ordering off the menu.
The one thing I would suggest is reviewing the mobile website, as I can't view my cart once I've added stuff (unless my phone is utterly useless). But usually I know what I'm getting anyway!
My favourite takeaway Thai place so far, the delivery is prompt and friendly and super convenient for me 🙂
Best Chicken in cashew (Pad Med Mamuang) I have had for a long time. Good portions, with plenty of meat ( unlike other places which fill them up with veges and 'gravy'). Loved the Panang Curry as well and was delighted that their 'Thai Hot' really means Thai Hot. Hope they maintain the standard as I am looking forward to going there again and trying other dishes. Also liked the friendly service and staff.
Delicious food, comfortable ambience!!
Have dined here several times with friends. This is a comfort zone for my friends and I. We have our meet ups here regularly. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. The prawn tempura is a must try! Red curry, green curry and panang curry are the regular curries to have. But the Chef's Secret is something you should not miss. This place is an amazing Thai experience with the real Thai spice. So if you cannot indulge in hot food, make sure you ask for mild-mild.
Overall an amazing place to unwind with great food and even better company!

Came here for dinner and this restaurant is run by Thai local. Portion is so huge that I can't finish it. Staff is very friendly and she tried to make sure the spicy level that I want when I ordered a spicy fried rice. Nothing too fancy about the fried rice but pad thai is very nice!!
One of my top thai restaurants in Auckland and has been for a while.
Food is well prepared, good portion size and consistent.
You have to watch out for the spice level as thai hot is extreamly hot.
I would recommend Tod kra Tiem, Larb and pad king.
Delicious! Second time we've ordered and it was even better than the first. We had Pad Thai with prawns (on both occasions) and a Chicken Panang Curry (first time). Beautifully spiced and dressed with plenty of peanuts. Pork and prawn toast was awesome. Ordered delivery and it arrived 20 min early, this was a lovely surprise as we were starving. Wonderful service both by the young who took my order to the man who delivered the meal piping hot. Highly recommended for a no fuss yummy takeout option.
Traditional Thai Food at its best!
Spices, the taste & flavor of food in this place is 10/10 not to mention the customer service! definitely recommend this place if you love your Thai Hot 🌶🌶
Ordered pad thai on takeaway with beef on hot (Thai hot). the beefs are good, not chewy, noodles are not oily and not dry (just right), Those chili, bird eyes chili are pretty hot... i have so many pad thais, this one is ok, it would be my top 5. However, it is lacking the quantity of veges, especially bean sprout and tofus. the meat are quite ok, just the right amount.
Taste wise, it is lacking of some taste.... a bit plain
Will have to come back to try their curries
For years I have been looking for a Thai restaurant in Auckland that does a green currry 'thai hot'. Finally, I have found it! In addition, the flavours are authentic, just like you would find in Thailand, with plenty of veges and meat. Not to mention, the price was cheaper than ,most other Thai restaurants. I highly recommend.
Love this place. We get delivery probably once a fortnight and the food is so flavoursome. The garlic rice is full of fresh garlic and the portion sizes are great and its well priced.
My go-to place when I'm craving thai food. Staff are always friendly and the pricing is very good for the area. They offer a wide range of seafood, meats and vegetarian options to suit all dietry requirments. I recommend grabbing a strawberry milkshake as the spice level is quite high.
Yesterday we visited Chill Out as we decided to celebrate one of my close friends birthday here.
We reserved a table and the staff members were flexible enough to allow us decorate the place to surprise the birthday boy. They even stored our gifts as per what we had planned. We ordered about 6 different dishes ( Sorry, I'm terrible with remembering Thai dish names )
4/6 dishes were tasty but the fried food with some spicy chutney weren't happily hitting my taste buds.
I won't hesitate coming back here as the common dishes we have tried have been good.
p.s - mild = spicy here. So if you cannot handle spicy then this is not a place for you.
I really love the food over here. It's the best Restaurent near the mount albert shops. The customer service is amazing. The food is a bit spicy so if you don't like spicy food do inform the amazing staff. 😊
One of the Best Pad Thai's we've tasted!
The curry's were great too!!!
Ambiance was relaxing!
Super friendly staff!!!
Keep it up!!!
I love love love chill out!!! Especially they home delivery service, $5 for delivery fee and order over $30 = free delivery. Food here is amazing but still need improvement with some dish. I would recommend you to try chill out fried rice, Ka moo, Suki Yaki, Gai Tod and my partner favourite menu is Panang curry, and cho chee.
If you want authentic Thai that has a lot of spice then this is the place for you. Have sampled plenty of the menu and loved every dish. If you're daring ask for hot (or Thai hot if you're a dare devil), if not then go for a mild or medium (medium still pretty spicy - they'll warn you most times). Still delicious no matter what heat. Home delivery makes this place even better. Highly recommend!
Chill Out was originally an internet cafe that sold food. Despite these origins though, it is now a restaurant with decent decor & even better food. Their dishes are Thai spicy, some of their mild dishes even are not so mild. Very tasty though. The best restaurant in Mt Albert village by far.
Absolutely love chill out , we come here often. Staff great , awesome awesome food , recommend the nam tok yummmmmo. Cover songs they play are quite entertaining also
Came here to celebrate my girlfriends birthday..was a great evening..the dishes we ordered was delicious,cooked perfectly.. very reasonably priced for the high quality of food received.,the service was excellent..couldnt fault it. ..definetly our favourite thai restaurant.....,we ll be back again for sure..
Really good takeaways. Have ordered from here a few times now and have been impressed each time. The home delivery option is also very convenient.
Chowing down on my Thai takeout a few words came to mind - authentic, fresh and generous portions. My partner and i shared some Kari puffs, roti with peanut sauce, pad Thai and the special fried rice. The customer service I received on the phone was great and they patiently explained the difference in mild, medium, kiwi-hot, hot and Thai hot. We went with hot which definitely had a spicy kick to it. Food was amazing, awesome to have a place like this locally
This is the best place to dine it Mt. Albert. Food is always great, fresh and packed with flavours. The stirfried meals are excellent, some curries have been only good, but still better than across the street. The best curry is the massaman lamb, a few dollars more than the others but well worth the money. Interior is nice, not like the most asian restaurants in the area. You can also get a nice thai-beer and a good espresso. We have also used their delivery service which is really fast. Even 'medium' here means quite hot, don't order hot if you are not from Thailand.
Very Good Thai fare. We ordered takeaways via phone. Menu on Zomato was up to date (good start), food ready on time. Only issue was we asked for no nuts and eggs in pad Thai (one of us allergic) and they did, however they didn't point out another dish we had ordered was full of peanuts and they weren't stated on menu.
This is my local and have been here countless times. Am never disappointed! Food is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. Favourites include the laab salad, fish curry and chicken cashew veges. If you are looking for the best Thai in Auckland then give this place a try!
This place used to be our regular and we always enjoyed coming here. As a vegetarian I found a large selection of options for me, and they were all very tasty . Pricing very reasonable too.
Nice casual atmosphere, you don't feel out of place coming in in casual clothes. Service was always nice and friendly with frequent water refills and offers of more rice.
Would love to see some authentic Thai desserts like sticky rice with mango!
I love this place, I have been going here since part of it had internet cafe. They are now a full restaurant. It is comparable to ZAP and is very affordable. The staff are friendly and the food is very delicious. Love the stir fries.

[Looks like a standard well done up takeaway store from the outside, but the food here will really REALLY blow you AWAY]
Great place for a mid week take out meal, reasonable prices and good portions, what,s not to like!
The entree are nothing flash but the main meals here are very good, crammed with heaps of quality ingredients, more than you would expect for around $12
I would rate this restaurant a much better alternative to their competitor on the other side of the New North Road in terms of taste and hygiene.
I have been here several times now, and I can say safely that if you want to try *real hot thai food* then this is *the place to be*. I am curious about their blend of fresh Thai spices that add aroma and taste to the food.
They have renovated their interiors in early 2013 and it looks pretty cool! A decent place for some great Thai food and good conversation over dinner.
i have never been to this restaurant before until i saw a daily deals for it. i thought why not, i haven't tried many thai foods in the past, who knows. guess what ? this is definitely a hidden gem !! best and hottest/spiciest thai foods i have ever tried. delicious menus and very authentic. i like my foods very spicy, if you want something really really hot and spicy, this is THE place for you ! super friendly and polite staff. i will definitely be back again and again. my mouth is salivating again just by thinking about the meals we had last night =)
I love the food here. The food is full of flavour. It's a place I go to if I am not cooking at home. The staff are wonderful and very attentive. They're well priced and heaps to choose from. They're very obliging when you want to add or remove something from the dish. Its like going home to eat at ones mothers place - homely and welcoming.
Enjoy the chocolate milkshake yum and the curries are quite good for your wallet and tastes great. I had the yellow duck curry and the red curry and was delicioussssss. Yummy can't wait to come back. Service is friendly and am always welcomed here. My family and I will definately be back
I have always enjoyed dining or having lunch at this restaurant. The service is always friendly and polite; the place is immaculate; but most importantly, the food and drinks have been nothing but fantastic.
What I really like is that the menu have REAL Thai dishes on there eg kwei tiao (noodle soup that is very common in Thailand but no other Thai restaurants I've been to offer) or Khao Kha Mu.
I can say with all certainty that this is the place to have Thai food and not 'Thai' food. 10/10 for Chill Out.
I have been consistently eating here for a couple of years. The lunch specials are particularly good and have some dishes not on the main menu. I highly recommend Khao pad or Moo tod. Great Milkshakes too. :D
I love this place because the staff are great and friendly. The food is A+, (I have been to Thailand) and is the best value Thai I have ever had! Keep it up and we will be back lots especially as it is open late!
[Pad Kee Mao] Good amount of portion for a person, or maybe up to 2 people if you don't eat much. I choose the Tiny hot (beginner) but the noodle was still, pretty spicy for me. I felt it as more of a Medium spicy. Otherwise it has nice flavor.
Hands down best thai food I have ever had.
Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Absolutely love this restaurant ❤
Cheap and delicious Thai joint. Their spicy scale is a level above other Thai restaurants so ask for mild if you're not a fan of spicy food.
Lovely, warm and friendly staff. The food is absolutely great and always cooked on time. The Pad Thai is the best
Pad Thai medium heat rocks 🔥💯🤣
Gave me a nice sweat 😂🔥
I will defs be heading back there😊
Best Thai Green Curry in Auckland, super tasty! Get mild for a normal medium on curries, and mild-medium for a medium on noodles.
I have been ordering from this restaurant for almost a decade and have never had a single issue. Food is always great, delivery is always on point, and staff are always friendly.
Really high quality Thai food at a fair price, and a haven for spice lovers like myself. Do not miss out on Chill Out Thai.
I personally recommend the panang curry, and getting the (awesome) garlic rice for every order. Be careful with spice levels though! If it's your first time, go one level lower than usual.
I was very pleased with the food I ordered, the meat was tender, the vegetables were lovely and crunchy, perfectly cooked, delicious meal. Delivered in a lovely environmentally friendly reusable bag...and a frequent order fridge magnet card, which is stamped every time I order...with a free meal as a reward. Absolutely awesome! I love this place.
Great hot Thai food. Friendly staff.
Favourite Thai takeaways in the area! Good communication, prompt delivery, delicious meals. Boxes are always filled to the brim and never skimp on meat or fresh vegetables. Recently moved slightly away from the area but have kept ordering from here as it's vastly better than any of the options nearer me.
Very helpful staff and always willing to go the extra mile for diners. They even went out of their way and made a special Thai desert upon request.
Super tasty and authentic Thai cuisine at really reasonable prices.
It is so hard to find authentic Thai food and Chill Out is one of the exceptions. Really Thai flavoured food and not diluted coconut sweeties curry sauces. According to the waitress they import some spices directly from Thailand. Restaurant nicely decorated. Service is good and fast.
Eat here regularly after a recommendation from a friend.
The food is less thai for kiwi tastes than your average Thai restaurant which translates to way more authentic flavours. The prices for takeaway are also pretty good value as well compared to others. But as people have alluded to already, their mild is other places medium and it goes up from there. Personally, i enjoy that but you do need to be aware of this as a newbie.
Can recommend the Green Curry (best i've had so far) and the Noodles with the whole green peppercorns (on the stalk and everything!)
Took a table of 8 here last night
Very accommodating to us
Made us very welcome
Food was great 😊. Owner /worker did a great job looking after our table .
If your a fan of spice then check out this place
Thanks team 🙂
