The atmosphere and interior is very cozy and homey. There is sufficient space inside for the amount of tables. Some of the decor were hand-made by family. I find that incredibly cool and it adds a lot of character and history to the restaurant.

The staff are always lovely, friendly and attentive. They were kind enough to cater to our Vegan friend and are knowledgeable about the menu when we asked for Vegan options.

The food is absolutely delicious! They make my most favourite Satay Chicken dish. We normally have this with the Prawn Fried Rice. We've ordered other dishes like the Pad Thai, Duck Pad Met Mamuang, Gang Duck, Spring Rolls, Vegan Fried Rice, etc. The portions may look small because of the bowl sizes, but they are very filling, generous with the protein and vegetables and suberb quality and quantity for the price. Always forget to take photos because the food looks too scrumptious and we just want to dig in!

To our friends at Thai Archer Restaurant, thank you always for your smiles, bestest efforts, kindness, and warmth during our visits. Looking forward to our next visit!

Best pad Thai I have ever tasted in my life. I have also tried the Pra Ram Long Song? The stir fry with peanut sauce. That was also the tastiest stir fry I’ve tried in a while. The stir fry didn’t come with rice so we ordered rice on the side. I was very impressed with this place and would definitely come again! Still cannot get over how yum their food was. 100% recommend.

Only ever gotten take away from here, but always a good experience, and the food is full of flavour. Also a bonus that they will make it really spicy if you ask for it!

Dined here tonight 5 pax, only 2 other tables of 2 pax each, very quiet for a Saturday night.
Excellent service, nice water, tasted like filtered.
Great food, but small portions, rice perfectly cooked, topped up often.
Last ate here a year ago, will return.

I’ve updated my review from our recent dinner visit. Their food is much improved! The duck krapao was delicious and a Medium got will be spicy for most people! Pad Thai was also pretty good. They do have an odd rule: minimum spend is $20 per adult, not applicable for kids...strange.

Came here for a late lunch with my cousin. 

It has a homey ambiance that sets the tone for a pleasurable dining experience. Wait staff are accommodating and friendly, even to my toddler. 

In terms of food, however, I believe Thai Archer does not stand out among the other Thai diners in Auckland.  Their money maker dish, for instance, has got a thick and tough wrapper.  Other dishes are pretty decent but lackluster.  Would still come back here because of their unlimited rice, though. LOL

Great Thai restaurant! Although they expect a minimum charge for adults of $20 the food is great! We had pad Thai 4/5, roast duck stir fry 5/5 and spring rolls! The service was ok and the ambience better than your average Thai!!

It’s been a while since we last went to a Thai restaurant. Drove by Thai Archer and decided to give it a go. We ordered a snapper dish, a soup and pork curry dish between the two of us. The food was great and one of the good thing is they have free flow of rice (although I need not have more). The portion is generous and is definitely value for money.

I thought the food was really good, better than any of the Thai food places I've been to. Service was great, glass of water is always full as the staff always come by to refill when needed. Location was good and easy to find. Parking was a slight problem, although the relatively long walk back to the car helped to digest the food we ate.

Nice building, friendly staff and quick service. We had the massamum lamb which was beautifully cooked. Next up was the Pad See Ew which had a nice chewy noodle texture and good mix of ingredients. Our other dish was too sweet for my liking (garlic pepper prawns)

A total Thai food lover, a friend and I thought of trying out the food here after all the reviews we read about The Thai Archer. I must say they were good. We ordered Curry puffs and Massaman Nua. The massaman curry was amaaaazing. The beef pieces were so soft and just melted in the mouth. The curry puffs was a little disappointing as the inside had very little or no mince at all. The service was good. Will definitely visit again

Reserved a table here for Friday night dinner. Nice little place, reasonably priced with a pleasant ambience and attentive staff. However it could do with a bit of overall light as it's quite dark at some tables. Ordered the lamb mussaman which was delicious. The Gai Ka Ta with beef was really good too. The starters of veg spring rolls and prawn cutlets wrapped in rice pastry were average. Overall, a good experience.

I don't like thai food but this is the only thai restaurant that I would go with hubby since he loves thai food.

Food here is always good and they cater to how I want my food to be done. Great service and great staff. 

Being vegetarian it is often difficult to find good food (especially if you are not so keen on a particular cuisine) but this place is really good at vegetarian dishes. Plus the ambiance is great - especially for date nights :)

Never fails to please. Have been going for years and see the same lovely staff which are always very accomodating and polite. The taste of the food is impeccable! Have not had a single dish that is not fulfilling. Price range is very reasonable considering other Thai restaurants. I love that it is small and cozy without being overcrowded! Bigs ups to the team and management! Many restaurants should learn from you guys!

Busy little resturant and my local so thought I had better try it! Service wasn't great - we were directed to a table then I had to ask for menus. Food came out quickly but definitely could have been warmer! The food though was very yummy! Lots of flavour and well presented. I had Thai peanut chicken stir fry and my dad had the whole snapper.

Lovely Thai meal really like the fact you can substitute tofu for any meat.
Restaurant fit out needs attention it's very out dated but other than that comfortable. I did feel it was a bit over priced but the meal was lovely.

Nothing could beat good Thai curries and good Thai food , I went there on sat night and as I entered the place with my sister we got a good feel of the ambience and were properly greeted by the staff. The menu was quite elaborate and was quite attractive aswell , I ordered for Thai chicken noodles, Spring rolls and a veg soup. My sister ordered for a mix Veges with Thai sauce and it was completely delicious also chicken satay was so good the chicken was tender and properly coated in sauce. The best thing was there is no portion size of rice, the waiters come to you holding a bowl of rice asking how much rice would U need I loved that concept as it reduces the wastage of food. The only thing I would love to see on their menu is some desserts 😉, would defiantly go back highly recommended

We live close to here and it's a favourite family outing for Thai food. The restaurant has a spacious, relaxed atmosphere and the staff are nice - though at times not very attentive (missing cutlery, not enough glasses for the table etc).

The food though is consistently great. The curries all have great depth of flavour, there's a good range of meals on the menu and all dishes come with servings of rice. A generally good experience each time and will definitely be going back again!

Being thai food lovers and located close by to us we had to try this place out. Definitely worth a visit! This restaurant is welcoming as it looks like a house, and the ambiance is what you would expect at a nice Asian restaurant. The service is very good, we were greeted and seated promptly and the staff were attentive during our time there.

We ordered the Gang Puk and the Pad Thai Jae. Both dishes were well portioned and really satisfying. The curry was very tasty and rich in flavour. The Pad Thai Jae reminded us of the authentic flavours we experienced during our travels in Thailand.

Overall we throughly enjoyed our experience here and would recommend to others.

Stopped in for an early dinner with friends. Had read reviews about bad service which is something I think is inexcusable when you are paying to eat out, but I'm happy to say the service tonight was good. Even when one of our dishes was missing the extra mushrooms that had been requested, it was promptly rectified with no issue whatsoever.
Even though we were relatively early, the restaurant filled up quite quickly. May pay to book if you want a specific time particularly a Saturday night like us.
Good menu with a variety of options without overdoing it. So many places have such a large menu it's impossible to know what's good or where to start.
Nice beverage menu - again a good range without overdoing it. We chose the Singha beer which is always nice with Thai.
We each chose a dish so ordered: stir fry tofu with Veges, duck with Veges, sizzling beef platter, stir fry prawns with Veges. All dishes arrived in good time. We also ordered a spring roll entree.
All dishes were good - hot & tasty. Decent amount of prawns in the prawn dish too which is good as it is pricy compared to some Thai restaurants.
Only suggestion would be that extra Veges would be nice in each dish rather than just a small amount as they make the dish feel more refreshing & balanced.
No time to look at dessert as we were headed to a function.
Overall a good Thai restaurant - one of our party commented that it was the nicest she's tried so far.

Absolutely great food with an awesome vegetarian selection. Clean and tidy facilities. Friendly service but order to serve time can surely be improved. Very very cramped - so if you're a party of 6+ best to book elsewhere. Noisy like hell...so if you don't mind shouting at the top of your voice to talk to your neighbour - go for it!...but to be fair, I've only been there over the weekends.

Went to first ever Thai restaurant here in Auckland. Tell you what the food was awesome and delicious. It was more tasty than I thought. The service was fine. The only issue I had was delivery time. It was crowded but still nobody wants to wait to be served with their main course right after starter.

I have been there again and tried the pad thai... it was really good and the service was really good. As assumed within our first review, last time order wasn't our best choice.

We've come here regularly on and off over the years, and the Thai food here is consistently good with good service.  I normally get takeaways from here, but it is good for dining in also, and doesn't break the bank.   I have had the odd drink while waiting for my takeaway order as the atmosphere is very relaxed and catch up on a bit of magazine reading.  Have had some great takeaway orders from here recently; recommended.

Went for dinner without a reservation at about 7 pm. Staff was friendly and arranged for a table in spite of being very busy. Chicken satay was good and portion size was reasonable. Mains included chicken drunken noodles, vegetarian red curry, a chicken stir fry dish and a duck stir fry. We asked for the dishes to be medium spicy and they were exactly that. Wanted the duck to be extra spicy and they provided some really spicy crushed thai chilly. Went well with the dish and it was easy to adjust the spiciness. Over all good dining experience. Had enough leftovers for next day's lunch for two.

A group of 8 of us dined in on a Saturday night. Everything from the atmosphere, staff and in particular the appetisers and mains were fantastic! My chicken green curry turned out to be just what I'd wanted, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the 'Singha' and 'Chang' beers, perfect compliment to the type of food Thai Archer offers. I must say I have not enjoyed this level of satisfaction over an eatery for a long time. So, well done to the team at Thai Archer! Thanks also to our boss for shouting dinner!!

Now I consider myself somewhat an expert in red curries, I have pretty much tried most around Auckland City in the search for the perfect red curry. Well now my journey has come to an end I have found the perfect curry at the archer! It contains a dazzling array of Thai spices that combine to produce a taste experience that exerts a sensory overload on my palate that leaves me in a state of apoplexy. I can not emphasize enough how good this dish is. It is sooo bl@@dy good!

Absolutely loved it.
Went there last night after the movies.
My parents had the curry puffs and chicken and prawn toast for their starters and loved them.
I hate spicy food so asked for a mild yellow curry... It was actually mild and amazingly tasty, one of the best in Auckland. My wife had thai Satay chicken and veggies - oh so tasty.
Can't rave enough. Will deffinately be going back.

table of 8 - put all the dishes in the middle of the table, BYO only $3 per bottle - food is always great and its in the entertainment book so we saved 25%. Not a noisy resturant because it is a converted house so only a few tables in each room. Rice was plentiful and they kept refilling your plate if you wanted.

We visited this restaurant last Saturday after reading a review and as we were going to the Stardome we needed somewhere close to One Tree Hill. We both had starters I chose the prawn and chicken mince toast which where excellent, my partner had the mixed entree and thought it was excellent. Both our mains were very good also. The service was very effecient without being to over the top. On the whole one of the best Thais in Auckland well done.

On my quest to use as many vouchers in the entertainment book as possible I stopped by the Thai Archer for dinner on Saturday night. The restaurant seems to have been converted from a house and has dining in smaller rooms, but it isn't cramped. We ordered the Pad Thai and Gang Duck. After ordering, the Duck Krapao was brought out for the table next to us and I had serious meal envy as it looked and smelt delicious, I'll definitely try that next time. Fortunately both our dishes arrived promptly and looked great too. I'm not usually a fan of fruit in savoury dishes but the Gang Duck, a red curry with grapes and pineapples, was AMAZING and I have been converted. The curry had a good amount of roast duck meat which was lovely and tender. The Pad Thai was good but only had one prawn which was disappointing but on a second read of the menu it does prawn, not prawns so they didn't lie. There was a good variety in the vegetables and amount of chicken and the sauce flavours were lovely. While the carrot and lettuce garnish was a nice touch the dish was missing crushed peanuts and a lemon wedge (although I think they had already been mixed through). Fresh rice was brought around intermittently and topped up which I liked as the rice was always hot and fresh rather than a bowl sitting on the table going cold. Overall I was very impressed with the Thai Archer and look forward to going back.

We used to eat in and out of Thai Archer quite frequently a few years back, but there are so many good Thai a Restaurants scattered around the suburbs now that we haven't been in a couple of years. Friends had had a good takeaway experience there recently though and ordered takeaways for a small group of us. I thought it fairly average to be honest. While the Massaman curry was very good- tasty and plenty of beef, the rest tasted a bit same same and was very beige! ie not much colour in the way of fresh veges or garnishes. There was plenty of well cooked fragrant rice though. Maybe we just made bad choices, maybe the chef had a bad night but we won't be rushing back anytime soon

The staff were all very sweet and patient, and service was quick. They even went out their way to ensure the waters were refilled even when not asked, and were so kind and thoughtful. The customer service and service was 5/5. Would be wonderful if the indoor lights were brighter as it is quite dark inside but the decorations inside were fabulous. The food was quite good - 4/5 :)

My family had lunch here. Environment is nice. We had - Tom Yum Talay soup which is strongly sour and spicy; - pineapple fried rice which is very good with sweet pineapple, roasted cashew nut and prawns; - crispy squid which is average and good Mayo sauce; - Pad Talay with combined seafood which is creamy and a little sweet. It is about $25 each person

A spur-of-the-moment decision to go for lunch on Saturday. Very quiet, just us and one other table. Ordered a bit more than normal for a 3 member family. Finished everything. Just one person for service, who was very polite and offered his best reccomdations from the menu. I guess the best testimony is when my 7 year old, who's idea for a great meal is McDonald's, saying 'best meal ever'! Too lazy to write down what we had, but I'm confident everything's great. We'll be back!

Drunken noodles were tasty, but the medium spice level was more like hot or extra hot (swollen lips level). I would be trying again but with mild in future. Serving size average for price.
