Awesome service, great yummy food. I am here on business and only found this place off google. I will be coming here again before my trip is over thats for sure!
We all totally enjoyed our meals (group of 9). Thank you! I had the braised beef soup main which was very tasty with beautiful tender beef in it. I also tried the duck curry which was amazing with just the right amount of spice.
It's probably high time I contributed a review on this place, as my partner and I have been eating there on a regular basis for several years. There may have been a change of ownership over that period, but the transition appears to have gone quite smoothly as we have been warmly welcomed by the same friendly and familiar faces each time. Over the years we have mostly noted consistency, both in the quality of the menu (in comparison with other Thai/Asian restaurants) and the level of time delays in receiving our meals. I will add, however, that last night's green curry was let down by slightly undercooked potato, usually presented perfectly. The negative comments posted here (below) are certainly relevant as we too have experienced delays in waiting for meals, though usually only, as we have found, at peak times and dates, such as Mothers' Day and Christmas, etc - when the restaurant is full of diners. I believe this problem would be expected at most restaurants as staff generally struggle to cope with increased diner numbers despite extra staff. I would certainly not recommend taking children along to THAI SILK on such seasonal occasions (due to the wait), nor would I suggest an expectation of a quick meal before a movie deadline. Pop along mid-week and you should be pleasantly surprised at the quick delivery of meals. Overall I still rate this eatery as one of the more pleasant dining experiences in Hawke's Bay, provided one is prepared to allow for seasonal difficulties in timely meal deliveries.
