This has taken me too long to write this, I have been eating from this restaurant for 14 years and it has been consistently delicious, never have I had a bad one or for that matter not even a middle of the road one, always excellent 110% recommend
The food has been nothing less than astounding and the service has always been bright and cheery. Out of the many Thai places I have been to, this one has been the one above all. The ingredients used in the many dishes I have had have always complimented each other with no one ingredient overwhelming the others. It also felt one step closer to traditional Thai food than an NZ/Thai Fusion, which was very much appreciated. This has been a regular go to for me and I have not regretted a single visit!

Great food . Great service even though it was busy at the time . Chicken green curry with and curry puffs are the way to go. Or try a pad thai
Wonderful service and the most delicious Thai food. Love the pad Thai, green curry and black bean stir fry. Always served with a lovely smile from the amazing staff.
Never had a meal I hated. It is always good for the price. There is better out there. But if yea local and don't won't to drive and pay more. Eat here
This place is amazing. The meat was tender and the sauces full of flavour. The service is also above and beyond. We tried the spicy beef, cashews chicken, green curry and pad thai. My favourite appetizer was the curry puffs. There was a pleasant intimate atmosphere and the servers were polite and friendly. Highly recommended.
Wonderful food, lovely staff! Comfortable atmosphere! My family and I always enjoy coming to Thai Torbay! Food is always tasty and we can't get enough! :)
My go to thai on the shore . Tried a few other thai places on the shore they don't come close. Friendly staff , nice environment. Well priced for the portion size and fantastic consistent quality meals. Curry puffs are handsdown the best on the shore that I've tasted . If you haven't tried yet you're missing out. Passionate chef that creates memories not just meals 5 stars as over the years this restaurant is yet to let me down. Keep up the great work
Amazing food! I had the mixed entree, mister had the curry puffs both dishes were yum. The Tom yum soup was delicious, you just wanted more after every spoonful. The mister is not a fan of soup but he had one spoonful and declared it a winner. Our mains again hit the spot, definitely going back. Well worth the drive across town. Joe and Jenny are awesome hosts 😊
Love this restaurant! Every time I go I get a spot on perfect meal. I eat a lot of Thai food, and have found it hard to find this good quality at such a good price. Well done guys!
Finally made the trip out here to have dinner here, and the experience was amazing! Excellent service, and excellent food. I tend to judge Thai food based on Red Curry and Pad Thai, and we ordered both tonight. And yeah, wow, both tasted incredible! Will definitely be coming back here. Do come check it out if you're in the area.
Great service from chef and friendly staff, Food was excellent 10/10 . A lot of tasty variety from the menu . Personal favourite was the soup 👌🏻 Cosy place and good location. It was worth the drive from East Auckland. Need to go back for more! Thanks Thai Torbay 🙌🏼
We have been to Thai Torbay last night and it was great. If you want a real thai food this is the place. All staffs are polite and they use very fresh ingredients. Highly recommended A+ will definitely go back again.
Honestly a terrific place to go for date night. Delicious food, awesome service and excellent location! Will definitely be coming back. 10/10 🔥🔥🔥
Great Food and great fast service. Soup was amazing curry puffs were spot on and our main meals were just AWESOME ! bringing my friends here for round 2. I'm from Avondale and drove out to Torbay for this and it's a 10/10
Delicious fresh food, nice and comfortable atmosphere in a family run restaurant. The Panang and Pad Thai were really awesome! It was a great evening at a very reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit!
Thai torbay is amazing. Fresh foods and flavours. We had a lovely meal tonight and I have a new favorite the panang is delicious and a must try.
This is my favorite Thai place in Auckland. The food is amazing and the family who run the restaurant are wonderful. Great flavors and a warm friendly atmosphere make for an enjoy evening out.
The whole experience was absolutely amazing, we couldn't wait to return. Great food, lovely ambience with warm and genuinely friendly staff. My husband and I love eating out, we have been trying different Thai restaurants in New Zealand, but I would say this is the best Thai food we've ever had. Highly recommended!
This is an awesome Thai restuarant in North shore area , We are regular visitors to this place never returned disappointed so far .
the food is very authentic and yummy though the place is small in size they server big on taste and customer service.
Great little place to try if you are in the area. Both takeaways and dine on are very good. Service is a bit average but the food is good and menu extensive. A local eatery that is worth going back to.
Love their food. Food is fresh and delicious with plenty of vegies. The menu has plenty of variety with lots to choose from and it is a very popular restaurant.
Went here tonight with my partner and my younger brothers family, was a bit dubious because of the other reviews written on here but our experience was really good! The food is amazing! I usually take lots of photos but I completely forgot to once I saw it, I do have a couple though! We got a few mixed entrees to share as starters, they were very tasty! I had the sweet and sour beef and my partner had the sizzling duck platter both were so good! The only down side is the service is quite casual but we all got what we asked especially seeing as there was 10 of us. Will definitely be back again :)
This place is a great local spot, never disappointed. The Green curry is the best. Service is efficient and friendly. Good idea to share different dishes between members of your table.
We invited friends out to dinner and selected Thai Torbay as it is close to home. The restaurant has been refurbished since our last visit many years back. Still Very clean. We found the staff very welcoming, and helpful. We selected 4 entrees, 4 mains. The food was fresh and delicious. Yes it was a surprise to have to pay for rice. (Some other restaurants you have to pay for vegetables!)
For the tasty meals we ate, paying a couple of $ for rice didn't ruin the experience. We will eat there again.
We ate here tonight after not having been to this restaurant for a few years. It was delicious! The food was fantastic, reasonably priced and came exactly to the spice level we requested. The wait staff were very accommodating and efficient. We eat Thai at least once a week and found Thai Torbay to be right up there with the best. We'll definitely be back again.
We celebrated our 57th Wedding Anniversary today with a meal at Thai Torbay. Our second visit.
We chose two different stir-fry dishes and both were absolutely delicious.
The wait-people are discreet, but friendly and attentive and the servings generous.
We can't fault this place and feel that those who do are a tiny bit precious and would fault-find wherever they go.

consistently good food lovely efficient wait staff bring your own bottle incredible value give it a go! dont need to write any more !( WHY do you have to write more when all you have to say is that the restaurant is fantastic is that enough characters???????????????????????????????????)
amazing athauntic thai food. staff there are lovely and takeaway is very fast. a bit pricey but definetly worth the money. very friendly for children and a nice family dinner. deserts are yummy and servce is quick and affective.
We eat out alot and this is our favourite restaurant in Auckland. The quality is great, very consistent, the staff are very professional and friendly and we always take our overseas visitors who consistently rate this as there best experience of Thai food anywhere. Unbeatable! We don't live locally any more but regularly travel to enjoy the experience.
This is one of our three favourite Thai restaurants on the Shore, with a wide range menu suited to all tastes, from Thai hot to very mild.
Excellent service and staff, just can't fault it.
Highly recommended.
BYOW so saves on the cost, though a meal for two with entree,soup and main is about $65 (I mean how can we resist!!)
Can book a table, or turn up early and there is usually plenty of room but does begin to fill up quickly after 7.30 pm.
Great for sharing a Thai meal with friends

Thai Torbay was serving their great food in Take-Away format after a big wait for lock-down NZ to let them back. Even though it wasn't the full restaurant the food was amazing as usual. Highly Recommended 10-10
Excellent service and food. Immaculately presented restaurant.
Lovely local Thai restaurant, great food and warm service.
Always a pleasant experience, family run, the default might be for the kiwi pallete but you only have to ask for it to be porphyry Thai and you will get the nicest food outside of Bangkok. Awesome place, lovely family
Wow what a surprise! So unassuming from the street but really great food! I've eaten Thai in a lot of places, including Bangkok, and this is really authentic and more like 'Thai' food than European Thai so well worth going for a visit!
Great ambience and friendly staff just added to the experience... I will be back!
I have always enjoyed my meals when I eat at Thai Torbay, then again, I always order the same thing, Pad Ka Pao, which I would highly recommend. The staff are friendly and the restaurant itself is very well presented.
The only draw back is that it's slightly over-priced which means I only eat here every once in a while.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!I have been to many Thai restaurants last 20 years. This is the best Thai restaurant in North Shore. Friendly people, food is absolutely amazing! LOVE IT
My wife and I and several friends dine at Thai Torbay several times a year, and we have never been dissapointed by the food or the service. It's a very nice, friendly, family restaurant serving good food at a reasonable price.
Great food. Generous portions. Friendly, polite and attentive staff. Loved the Red Prawn Curry, Green Thai Curry, Fried Rice, Curry Puffs and #17
A great place with a family feel. I always order the green curry and it tastes awesome. Really popular for take aways which are cheaper than eat in.
A lovely restaurant with friendly and welcoming staff that provide excellent service. Go eat there if you want a great meal
The food is deliceous and well priced, the staff are friendly and the owners are very experienced and genuine people. Love the curry puffs and the Mussamen Curry!
This has taken me too long to write this, I have been eating from this restaurant for 14 years and it has been consistently delicious, never have I had a bad one or for that matter not even a middle of the road one, always excellent 110% recommend
