Wow the dishes are all super flavorful and delicious! It’s one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever been to. Highly highly recommend !!!
I like it :)normally I don't eat spicy food because my tongue is a giant baby, but their food here was really nice. Spicy,but manageable. Give it a try for those who normally don't eat spicy food. I had a curry chicken dish
All were worth the money! It feels so good eating in this place very cozy and clean. Food tastes soooo soooo good... though a bit affordable but really worth your money. A must try!
Yummy food lovely service nice setting! Can't go wrong. The serving staff are attentive and friendly. We had a curry and a pad thai, both lovely. With lots of chilli sauce provided on request.
Our revisit to Thai Takapuna was a good experience.
We ordered tom yum kong (Thai sour and spicy prawn soup), pineapple fried rice, mixed veggies and sweet and sour noodle salad.
The food was tasty and portion was just right for 4 of us.
The meal cost us less than $80 which was quite reasonable.
Give it a try!
This is the first thai restaurant I ate in Auckland. Good service and food taste and quality both were good. The staff was very friendly which was the best part. Was fairly quite on a weekday afternoon.
This place is always solid. Has great authentic Thai food both lunch and dinner. Staff super friendly and patient (was a grumpy old lady hassling the staff the other day over nothing and the staff kept smiling all the time when most people would have responded differently).
The Larb is probably my favourite, very authentic with the ground toasted rice crunchy feel, I like to add a bit more chili powder. The Yum Woon Sen also great, noodles tender with a bit of textures, lots of seafood and flavour.
One of my favourite lunch spots.
My partner and I are regular customers here (the staff may or may not know our names). The food is amazing, especially the vegetarian pad thai. The staff are awesome, kind and polite. The service is quick and you never have to wait very long for your meals :)
Best Thai food I have found in New Zealand! Spent over a year living in Thailand and Thai Cafe Takapuna is the only place where you will get the original, authentic, fragrant Thai food experience - simply delicious. But you have to know how Thai food should normally taste...if you are expecting a non spicy, greasy stir fry, what some Chinese take aways are serving as Thai food, then this is the wrong place. In addition to that, the value for money for lunch is great, with vegetarian dishes starting from $13. The service is as Thai authentic as the food, lovely and welcoming. Can not recommend this place enough - for people who are seeking REAL Thai food. Try the Red Curry or the Massaman curry - full of flavours and spices or another must: the Phad Thai - tastes like in a food court in the middle of Bangkok.
Warm and cosy interior
I liked the atmosphere and friendly lady that served us !
Food was so delicious would definitely come back but found it just a little pricey ..only reason being somewhere like zap can do similar dishes at lower prices!
However good for date nights and ocassions
Good food, friendly staff ,special food is very yummy!!! If you are in Takapuna highly recommend . They also have Thai buffet on wed-Thr from 11.30 am to 2.30 pm. Only $15 you can eat as much as you want and the foods is very tasty as in Thailand.

Being of Thai origin makes us really picky when it comes to dining out thai. This place however, nailed authentic thai cuisine. Upon strolling across takapuna beach, we decided to give this place a try. What an amazing experience it was! The food were unbelievably authentic. I can say there is no other thai restaurant in NZ that could make their noodle soups as close to thai taste as Thai Takapuna! The salad dishes were also really tasty and packed with fresh vegies. Service was excellent with the front lady staff being really friendly and prompt with her order taking. Ambiance and atmosphere is really nice with imported Thai sculpture and fresh flowera. Hygiene is on point however the toilet is combined and a little cramped. Def recommend for anyone who has been seeking REAL thai cuisine!^^
Had dinner here tonight, had booked in advance so got the table as place was very busy, we ordered chicken cashewnut and veg stir fry in mains and spring rolls in entree....the entree came fast but food took some time..understandable as the place was busy... food quality and taste..good... service average.....decor....good...even though it feels like its a garage kinda place..but is well maintained....parking can be a problem...a little overpriced
Value for money, very good customer service, their curries are very yammy and worth trying ! Been here a few times and will always coming back ! I would also recommend Tom Kha soup. The broth is mouth-watering ! It's also very beautiful and warm inside :)
I had a nice lunch here the other week. I had pad med mamuang with chicken, and a coke zero. It had just the right amount of chilli with it. My friend enjoyed his lunch too. Very affordable as well.

If I'm after a cheap Asian meal in Takapuna, this is where I go. I've been here a couple of times and I've always had good service. This place do lunch time deals so it's cheaper then.
I really love their money bags. We always get it when we dine in. It's crispy and nice.
As for their mains, you can't go wrong with pad thai but I keep ordering the Pad Priew Wan. My sister always orders the curry.
At least once a week I call up for takeaway.
The food is great.
Very tasty and good size.
Lovely quick service, always awesome when your hungry, food was as Thai should be. Most Thai placed offer as much rice as you like but this one you had to buy a bowl if you wanted one. I had prawn vegetable , think it's called goong met or something like that. The lighting is nasty in there makes the food look awful but it wasn't . Big elephant on the wall was cool but yeah the lighting ????????
We go here all the time and it's great! Fast and yum and the people are so lovely and accommodating. Actually has vegan food and they let you adjust the menu for your dietary requirements! Going there tonight!
We have eaten here a few times now and on every occasion the staff are very friendly, and the food is great.
We have just been again for lunch today and had the lunch buffet. What a find. Finally a place to go for a buffet Thai meal that gives you plenty to choose from and things to try that maybe you havent before. We were very impressed and for the cost it was a most enjoyable lunch. We most certainly will be back for it, long may it continue. Thank you all for your impeccable and friendly service. Highly recommended.
Hear Hear to Garry C! We went last night and saws the reviews when looking for location and thought we had made a mistake also.
But the service was great, the only choices you couldn't have on the voucher were soups & chefs specials, but already knew that when I bought it.
We had combination entrees and they were great. Pad Thai with prawns for main, and there were heaps of prawns. Other main was duck curry - pretty good deal if you ask me.
Even the complimentary wine was not a bad wine - much better than some I have tasted.

Flew from Christchurch to Auckland for weekend. Saw a deal voucher so thought we would give it a go. Having read the reviews we were a little concerned we had made a mistake. Well actually this place is great. Food excellent and service was fine, staff were pleasant and as it was busy did there best. The worst part was seeing and hearing the attitudes of some of the customers. To be honest we were disgusted and felt bad for the staff. Wake up Auckland this place is great, give these people a break! if we go up that way again we will go back there. PS if you haven't smelt fish sauce I suppose you could say it smells like cats breath.
Love this place it is a regular favourite! the food is good, the service is good and the cocktails are cheaply priced!!
We order takeaway from Thai Takapuna every week and the food is consistently delicious. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. As regulars they know our custom order when we call. We also eat in occasionally and service is very attentive and meals arrive fast. My only *minor* complaint is I always feel a little uncomfortable with all the wall mirrors as it forces you to watch other diners eating and vice versa. That may say more about me than them though ;)
Definitely a favourite in our house!
I was pleasantly surprised by the quick service and tasty meal. The flat noodles were so yummy and pork cooked to perfection. I left my dark glasses there and the server came down the street to find me and return them! Great service!
Love this place. It's our local. Great tasty food and reasonable prices. Lovely staff too. A 2 minute walk to Takapuna beach, beautiful location.
A bit of a hidden gem in Takapuna with great efficient service and good selection of Thai dishes at reasonable prices though portions are a little on the small size.

Great authentic Thai restaurant in the heart of Takapuna. Nice food selection, great service, nice Thai environment. Photo of fried vermicelli with veggies and prawns. You should go for the red duck though
Loved chicken pad thai, lunch price is very acceptable and you get 10% off for takeaway at dinner time. So nice to have food on a sunny terrace. Food arrived quickly and the portions are more than enough for one person to be full afterwards
Very nice service, food was amazing. A great Thai restaurant in the area
Such a beautiful place. Great location right in the heart of Takapuna. Awesome food, great atmosphere, cosy casual dress and lovely staff. I recommend this place if you are looking for a great meal

Good service nice Thai Food staff very friendly
Amazing food with great service & atmosphere. You must try their chicken wings as appetiser. Overall highly recommended!
Meals were tasty and we three enjoyed the food,helpful service.
To improve on your service ,it would be improved with minimal delay between order being taken, and the food arriving on our table. But overall, we were very pleased with our dinner at your restaurant.
We had a great meal. Decor is a bit eclectic with touches of Thai culture within a building that doesn't fit, but it was part of the charm for me. The food was excellent and the service was good (although the were thinly staffed and were constantly rushing around). It's a nice quiet haven in the middle of busy Takapuna.
Food used to be tastier. I've had better and cheaper Thai food from most generic food courts and eateries (e.g. Mercury Lane Plaza, K Rd). They cater to vegans which is appreciated. Tofu here is good (crispy outside and silky inside). Atmosphere and service is decent, and staff are nice. It's closer to restaurant prices (they charge extra for rice!), but with the average food not sure I'd go back here.
A group of 18 if us went on a Sunday night and sat in the private back room and thoroughly enjoyed everything.
We took our own wine. Had a small mixed plate of entrees and then chose our own main. We found the service and pricing extremely good. Will go back
I was here with my friend for dinner. The staff was very welcoming and had great customer service skills. It’s a BYOW, so it was a plus point for us. The food was yummy and the portion was really good. The menu had lots of options to choose from. Would definitely visit again and would highly recommend! :) Cheers
Super vegan friendly and lovely LOVELY staff...Pad See Ew is the bomb ziggity...huzzah!
