ThaNks for opening The most authentic thai taste in Auckland with high quality ingredients very fresh. Have ordered a few dishes for party and my friends love them. Many friends became customers there for Thai since. The taste made you feel not missing out anything from home. Staffs are lovely , helpful and professional also the chefs are very friendly and highly understand to certain level needs for customers. I wouldn't go to another place for Thai in Auckland.

When friends ask where do I normally go for Thai foods? I always said, I cook my Thai foods at home. Having say that, the only place that's wayyyy better than my home cooking and make me feel like home is "Tom Yum Eden" never disappointed, my favourite dishes are Thai noodle soup, Som Tum set, Pad see ew just to name a few. Most recommended authentic Thai foods in town���

I really wanted Pad Thai for lunch so it only made sense to visit Tom Yum, which was one of my bookmarked Thai restaurants. The restaurant is quite small but it wasn’t very busy so food came out at a quick pace. I got the pad thai with chicken and no peanuts, but I was given shrimp instead and peanuts at first but they realised and quickly fixed this. My brother got the stir fried with oyster sauce, chicken and rice and my mum got the special beef noodle soup.

My pad Thai was good because it wasn’t too sweet and more savoury. The noodles were al dente, which I really appreciated. My brother had some of my pad thai but portion wise, it was pretty ok. Mum loved her soup though, she said it was super beefy, rich and flavourful!

Overall, a decent restaurant to try out but make sure they get the order right!

Definitely one of the more authentic Thai restaurants I've been to. They have a separate menu for Thai Style dishes - all in Thai. You will have to order from this menu if you want the best of the best. We got a couple of the Thai Boat noodles. Pork and liver noodles in a hearty, herbacious broth with vermicelli noodles. Great flavours and definitely not for the faint of heart. The Yen Ta Fo was also lovely, this was different and served in a fermented red bean curd broth with an assortment of seafood like fishballs, crab meat, shrimps etc, again another true Thai dish. We had the chicken wings on the side which was also lovely! I would strongly recommend ordering something out of your comfort zone when you come here and try out their authentic Thai dishes for a different experience.

Very friendly staff. Most food are great, my favorite is their steamed snapper with lemon and chili (ask for spicy), grilled pork, braised pork legs (need to pre-order), and cha om omelette (off menu).

The most yummy Nam Tok in Auckland, I could even finish the soup! And bbq skew is my side dish whenever I go there, it reminds me the Thai Street food, I think nowhere in Auckland serve this dish though.

Been going here for years - would happily recommend. Green curry, mussaman and cashew nut beef or chicken is the bomb. If you can’t handle spicy the safe one to go for is the pad rhai.

The lunch time menu has a great value and taste. The noodles are very tasty. The proportion is also huge. They also have the somtum set that comes with grilled pork and sticky rice, very nice. Recommend to try the lunch menu.

We have passed by this place many times but never noticed this restaurant. After looking for a place to eat on the app.. came across this restaurant which was still open before it closed for the afternoon. Quickly called and made a take out order and was told 10
Minutes and it took us around 10
Minutes to reach the restaurant and we didn’t have to wait longer then 10 minutes food was ready and finally we parked somewhere to eat and food looked,smelled and mostly tasted amazing. Price was good as well. Will definitely have to go and try other food on the menu. Only bad comment is there was no fork or spoon in the bag and had to ask for them.

Like this place because the dish they serve is quite authentic. You know its a to go place to fix your thai food craves when you see alot thai people dine here. The beef noodle is my fav! You can choose beef or pork and the broth is very flavourful. The tomyum noodle is not the hot and sour soup you expected, it is one type of noodle they have in thai hawker stall which it is quite hard to find it here. Price is affordable and staff are all friendly and helpful too.

Absolutely LOVE this place!!! Whenever I crave Thai, this is definitely my go-to. Flavours are authentic & perfectly balanced as well as affordable. Staff are always lovely, friendly & welcoming. Sadly I am not one to take pictures of my meals, I forget & dig in lol Small but definitely worth it. Book/reserve ahead to prevent disappointment.

Decent Thai Restaurant with Som Tam

Som Tam (spicy papaya salad with tomatos peanuts and dried shrimps) is my favourite Thai dish and not many restaurants can make this well.
Tom Yum in dominion road makes these really well and they also have other decent food too.
I'd probably give 4.5 if the venue was little bit cheaper and had more seatings.
SomTam set menu was pretty cheap tbh.

I Went there for a late lunch today, this place was recommended to me by a Thai lady and i was not disappointed. I ordered some rice with spicy pork nam tock. And it was pretty darn good! The pork was tender, with plenty if fresh herb, fish sauce and sugar. Service was friendly and efficient. Can't wait to go back to try more dishes!

Tom Yum Eden is a compact size restaurant where you can experience the ambiance and food of street restaurants in Thailand. Most dishes come with big portion. I would recommend beef noodle soup to anyone who wants to enjoy a large and tasty dish here.

Tom Yum is one of the oldest restaurants on Dominion Road, it is a tiny little shop with very traditional Thai decor and nice ambient lighting. The windows are always open so you can enjoy the view of busy traffic on Dominion Road and all the drama you often see regarding road rages.

The food is both traditional and Asian Fusion. Their famous dish was the spaghetti green curry which actually tasted amazing. The servers are always nice and the meals are made quickly. It's a little pricey but it is worth the service and food you get.

Came here for lunch as I've heard that this place was tiny but good... and it was.

We ordered our usual go-to Thai faves: mixed entree, yellow chicken curry and their shrimp pad Thai. The portions were really good and we weren't disappointed. I thought that the pad Thai had a weird after taste though but my friend couldn't taste that, so I don't know if it was just me or the actual dish. Nevertheless, still happy with the service and the authentic taste of their dishes. Will definitely return to try more (the table behind us also had ordered these beautiful dishes that I regret not asking them what they were called) and take the spice up a notch.

Nice Thai food in Dominion Road. Had a fried rice with crab, which was good, though the rice was overcooked, and a snapper with a delicious broth, but the fish was overcooked as well.

Despite the mistakes I still think it is a good option, because they know how to put all those fresh Thai flavours together.

The restaurant is quite small, so be prepared for queues.

Authentic Thai food! Especially the Pha Thai and Thai ice milk tea. Really miss the Thai ice milk tea at Bangkok and can't believe I can have this here. We ordered 2 Pad Thai (chicken & pork), tom yum fish soup and green curry chicken. Very generous on the ingredients. The bean sprouts on the Pad Thai are really raw. If you don't like it raw, you might need to request them to cook it. Friendly services.

Authentic Thai! I came here as my Thai friend suggested this outlet to me. I was not disappointed. I had the curry puff and pad kapraw Gai. The puff could have done with a big more flavours to make it more Thai as I found it a bit mild. Nevertheless they were good puffs.

The pad kapraw was very nice. They used Thai basil as opposed to sweet basil which is more readily available in New Zealand. It definitely was more pungent with a minty tone, and more similar to what I had tasted in Thailand.

We came here when we didn't know where to eat. I've always heard good places about tom yum eden but don't remember going.

We ordered Thai iced milk teas. They were really sweet but I liked it. My friend bought pork crackling from the counter for her need noodle soup and they taste so good but so bad. But good.
I ordered an oyster sauce beef stir fry with an extra crispy fried egg on the side. There was a variety of veggies in the stir fry and the sauce wasn't too sweet.
If you haven't tried a crispy fried egg, you must.
Best thing ever. Eggs are the best.

Being half Thai myself, I was delighted to have discovered this place! Everything from their Thai Menu is just delicious- the grilled bbq pork skewers are just outstanding using the right part of pork, seasoned with thai herbs and grilled to perfection every time. I am particularly a big fan of their Hot pot soups and find that it contains the most authentic taste, closest to Thailand out of all the other Thai places in Auckland.

As for service, the Thai staff are always normally polite with a smile. Because the restaurant is so cramped and tiny but busy, the staff never really has time for a chat or to make small talks but that is fine.

There are only a few tables which are set up real close to one another so taking in a big group is not recommended. If you do wish to do so, make sure you book or go in early! I normally go with just my partner and have always had to wait for a table since they're so busy.
As for the pricing, it is quite on the high side compared to the size and set up of the restaurant and service. However, the food is definitely worth it so I'd still recommend this place! A few dollars more expensive is still better than a plane ticket to Thailand right!

Small place, fantastic food, good service. Definitely my favourite Thai restaurant in Auckland.
Not an ideal place for big group or young kids due to small place. Thai beef noodle soup is the best, the vegetarian options were great, the fish was delicious. Always get my takeaways from here.

Though the place is quiet small, the staff is friendly and helpful enough to make sure they can accommodate my group of 10 people.

I ordered beef phad thai and I love it. The taste is authentic (as reviewed by others) and the portion is just right for the money you spend.

I will definitely make my visit again sometime.

Ignore 'knowmyrights', the restaurant is excellent.

The owner of the store DOES have basic-poor English skills, however the staff employed have excellent English, and both the owner and the staff understood my food requests.

Who cares anyway, you go out to eat, not to judge someones English!

The food was great, the menu is massive, with lots of choices. Seafood, beef, pork, chicken, anything.

Vegetarians and meat eaters:
They even have a separate vegetarian menu. Of, you can change anything to vegetarian, and they'll replace the meat with anything of your choice. So this place is great for meat eaters, and vegetarians.

Portion size:
All I can say, MASSIVE. Portion size is a big factor for a lot of people when eating out, espesh me. You defo get value for your money here. My main was so large, I couldn't finish it. and I ate so much I had a stomach ache home! But I couldn't stop, the food was lovely.

Money:
It is really well priced. $14 for a normal main, the most expensive main I saw was $30 from memory, that's because it was a seafood platter to share. The entrees were about $6-9.00, so cheap as.

Alcohol: They serve Thai alcohol. Family relatives gave it a try, they liked it!

Service:
What is service to you? I like being left alone to eat my meal, I don't like being bothered constantly like the large scale places. I was served by ONE person, and that's how I like it.

I really don't know what 'knowmyrights' is talking about, the food was delicious, service was prompt, the price was very reasonable and low, atmosphere was great.

The meals are tasty, yum.

It was average time to receive meals. Not waiting too long, and not waiting to little (too little indicates was already prepared and reheated).

As I mentioned, portion size was massive. Two plates worth per person.

Opening times is 5pm I believe, till late (10pm), roughly.

Closed Monday.

I loved it, and I am sure going back and taking my partner. Not too flash, Wouldn't take the queen of england, but a family meal, a random choice 'to go out' or 'cant be bothered cooking' place to go.

You won't leave unhappy.

Wow! the first time I went to this restaurant I thought "this is what REAL thai food is like!" have been back many times and never disappointed. Unlike so many thai restaurants, they don't just have the "standard" dishes, they also have a separate "thai" menu (as in, in thai language) which features lots of amazing specials - I asked the waiter to translate for me as I dont speak thai. These include a delicious twist on tom yum soup (a full meal with noodles in the soup), whole snapper in tamarind, bamboo salad with crab, thai omlette - too many to mention here but each time i go i try something new. Its a smallish place, casual, BYO, friendly staff and very reasonbaly priced - in short, a winner!

Very tasty food, been consistently going here since 2008, very friendly and nice staff (owners included). They manage to give good quantities vs other Thai places but certainly still retain the quality. All these other 1 star reviews are truely not an accurate description and representation of the kind of place this is and people are. I find it hard to believe that these guys were rude and or aren't able to cook.
