Dinner with friends on Saturday. The standard of food is excellent with beautiful presentation and taste.the service was attentive even with the place being packed with happy diners. We have visited Thai peninsula over a number of years and I believe that they are growing from strength to strength. You have to book as it is very popular.

Amazing food! Served nice and hot (via UberEats delivery!). Red curry with beef had just the right kick of spice. Curry puffs were lovely. Superb food. Must be a popular one in the block!

Excelent meal. Everything we ordered are great. Ask for medium i stead of mild in term of spiciness. The waitress are attentive. They pass our table many times offering more rice. The place is modern.

Awesome BYO place if you are out west and don't want to head into the city for a nice wine and good food. The staff are extremely tolerable, I say this because I was mostly just downright impressed with how they handled me and my roudy crowd. I mean that they're friendly and professional enough to put us in our place without being rude about it, please don't go there just to get lit.
The food is wonderful and good value for money. It's a bigger restaurant so plenty of room and nice decor. Definitely recommend coming here, would be nice for a birthday or celebration!

I’ve been here several times. The food is tasty and the prices are reasonable for what you get. Portions are good. One suggestion is that they give more rice to eat with your meal. The service has always been attentive and friendly. I would recommend.

Stepped in and was welcomed by friendly staff who showed us to our table without a fuss. The menu was clear to read and I knew what I wanted straight away. I only really order Pad Thai if I was to go to a Thai restaurant. So I got chicken Pad Thai and Spring rolls.

The food came relatively quickly and the presentation was nice. I would say the portions are a bit small for the price but were definitely well worth it! It tasted really good and everything was fresh and hot. 

Service was excellent as they came round several times to fill our glasses with water without ask having to ask! 

The interior is modern and clean and overall it was a great experience!

Snapper was amazing and the chicken red curry is delish! The portion of rice is quite small and you have to pay more for another scoop. Overall, lovely restaurant, beautiful food and great staff. It is on the expensive side however worth every dollar.

We go there sometimes and always love it!
We got take away for the first time tonight. Ordered a yellow curry and pad Thai. It was tasty but potato was missing in the curry so there were only beef and onion... that was a bit disappointing but otherwise it was good as usual!

The food here is delish! Took the in-laws here for dinner on a Friday night, it was packed but we had made a reservation before hand so our table was waiting. There were a few large groups celebrating birthdays so noise levels were high and service was slow but the 4 wait staff kept their cool and were pleasant to deal with. Tried the deep fried snapper, yellow chicken curry, garlic & pepper stir fry with prawns and the garlic and pepper chicken sizzler, everything was awesome. The starters of veg spring rolls and rice paper wrapped prawns were stock standard but nice.

Great place for quality Thai dining. The mains are generously portioned and full of flavour. I went for a duck stir fry with extra meat. The dish was a very filling and the duck was cooked perfectly. Both friends I went with had different currys and were very happy with their meals also. Reasonable prices will definitely be back.

We had our first impression of Thai Peninsula tonight and man, what a good first impression!. I could not fault it, hence the rating. The inside of the restaurant is nice. The staff were reasonably attentive. The food was excellent and generous in portion size. My GF ordered a meal with cashew nuts in it. In some restaurants you will be lucky to count 10 nuts in your meal. But here, I think they put half a packet in! We were amazed and happy with this generous attitude. My Panang was excellent, full of flavour and when I asked for rice it was served hot, both times (yes I got a second plate of rice, and yes I am full!). The can of softdrink was refrigerated and they gave the can rather than pouring a small drink and keeping the rest. Again, generous and whilst there is the usual markup on drinks, it feels good to feel you are getting good value for money. All in all, really happy with our meals tonight and we will go back for sure.

Thai Peninsula is one of my favourite places! It has all the right things - great Thai food, it's BYO, it's close to home & the staff are lovely! The first time I visited Thai Peninsula was a few years back & I was blown away by the ambience, the quality of the food, the service, and how busy it was! Which says a lot about how great it is. I still go there regularly, to dine in or grab the occasional takeaways. Thai Peninsula has just gone from strength to strength - I've never had a bad experience there.

Lovely restaurant with delicious flavoursome food!! And the exceptional service was the icing on the cake for our night out at this place. The waitstaff are attentive even though it was a very busy night. We ordered several dishes and unfortunately forgot to advise the waitress that our aunty was allergic to mushrooms. When the dishes came out we requested if we could get the curry without mushroom and that wasn't too much trouble and they made it happen without a fuss! Would highly recommend this place to family and friends!

Just moved to the peninsula and relieved to find the local thai place is a really good one. Only had take-aways a couple of times from here but the quality is really good. The duck dishes are better than the usual mostly duck-fat dishes you get out west in other places with nice bits of meat and very tender/great flavours. I have noticed the restaurant is well decorated and the staff are nicely dressed and friendly. Looking forward to dining in the actual restaurant next time

A good evening in this busy local Thai house. Warm comfortable surroundings and fast efficient service. We had a chilli novice with us so couldn't go for the nose running heat we would normally prefer , but the food was plentiful and tasty none the less.

Great local thai. Can byo. Does pay to book as it definitely gets busy esp on a fri nite. Service is quick and friendly. Water filled frequently. Dishes served in good timing. Great size portions for the money, I can only just finish a main and I'm a big eater. Everything always seems very fresh. Thai is not my first choice but I always really enjoy my meals here. My only problem is that they have a large takeaway business aswell and I feel that should be kept a bit more separate. It feels like there is constantly people squeezing past your table to get their take out and also when you go to pay there is a huge cue of people paying for their phone orders and you feel like you're standing halfway in the restaurant while you wait. Great food though just being picky as usual!

Definitely the best Thai food I've had in NZ! I usually shy away from Asian restaurants because of the amount of MSG they use, which makes me gag. But Thai Peninsula promised they did not use MSG - and sure enough, my Pad Met Ma Muang was fantastic and definitely MSG-free! Lovely restaurant and great service. Will be back!

We have only used the takeaway service but we cant fault the food. We love the fact we have such good quality Thai food on the peninsula. We have been going here for 18 months now and have never had a bad experience. Staff are always friendly too even when they are obviously very busy.

I have dined at Thai Peninsula so many times and can safely say that they do the best Thai food in the west. It's a bold claim, but everything I have ordered here has been faultless. Service is also pretty good as well!

I have tried quite a few dishes. The pad khing, deep fried whole snapper, Tom yum goong, pad thai are all delicious. One of our new favourite appetizers as well is the deep fried prawn cutlets. They were so good!

The decor is also quite modern, and is good for a gathering with friends or possibly even a date night. Can't wait for my next trip here!

Best Thai restaurant is West Auckland! Great atmosphere, food and friendly staff. Went here on Saturday night and it was packed,we were thinking we would have to get take away. However, we managed to get a table and were so happy we did because the atmosphere was really nice. A guy at the table across the room had a birthday and all the lights were turned off and the whole restaurant sang him happy birthday! The food has to be some of the best Thai food I have ever had! The Tom Ka Gai soup has the most amazing flavour and loads of fresh vegetables. I also had the red duck curry which was absolutely delicious. It had amazing flavour, fresh seasonal vegetables, a generous amount of perfectly cooked duck and the perfect amount of heat. I will definitely be making drive out to Te atatu to get all my Thai takeaway from now on.

Faith restored. I had written a review at the start of the year saying that this restaurant had gone downhill in terms of quality but having given it another go a couple of times lately, it is back on top with great tasting, high quality food. I am really happy that the Thai Peninsula is back to its best and is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants in the whole of Auckland if not NZ.

I have never dined in this restaurant but have ordered and taken it away. I think it is the best place in the peninsula and very affordable, we always get the same dishes take away it costs us 23 dollars for two trays of food and feeds both me and my partner. I would like to say we have never had a bad meal yet and I will keep going there until I don't like it. I think it deserves 5 stars, well done Thai Peninsula you are the best.

I've been going to Thai Restaurant for a year now; it is simply my favorite Thai restaurant in this area. And I think I've tried them all!

Their main dishes are nicely spiced, and adjustable for Western palates.

The service is sometimes a bit let down but good food makes it for us. The restaurant is always quiet and the atmosphere is pleasing and relaxing.

Great food, everything lovely and fresh, excellent service, with lovely staff, but the food stands out just as much as the staff - would eat here every night if I could!! food was very Thai, authentic, and so delicious, and their takeaway menu, just as good, have had 3 takeaways to date and each dish georgeous, so impressed with restaurant as they are very quick, didn't have to wait long, and takeaway was even quicker service, thank you to the owner and staff for a very quality restaurant.

My friends , family and I have eaten there several times over the past 3 years and have only ever had great attentive service and excellent food. Admittedly I don't think we have ever been on a Friday or a Saturday night, but we have had both weeknight and week day experiences and I have often recommended this restaurant to my business acquaintances too. My most recent meal was at the beginning of this month.

We were recommended Thai Peninsular and what a great place for a meal. We were greeted, seated, and given cold water not long after we walked in. We loved the decor. The seats are clean & comfortable, we really loved both of the accent walls. The music was subtle and easy listening. The lemon, lime & bitters we ordered was perfectly balanced between sour & bitter. The starters were juicy, full of flavour with the best pastry crunch. They came with wonderfully made sauces & a little garnish that made the appititizers just that much more appitizing. The sliced duck Thai green curry was absolutely yum. The curry was creamy & had a nice warmth to it. There was a lovely supply of different vegetables & the duck was cooked wonderfully. Although I would call the sliced duck, duck chunks. The mud cake was not as decadent as I hoped, but it was fluffy, and I was given a very generous slice. The meal was served seamlessly and apart from a slightly slower service for dessert everything arrived in good time.

Loved the atmosphere. Best dinning experience for a Thai restaurant. Free parking very close to the restaurant. Tables and place where well arranged. Clean and tidy place. I got Pad Thai pork which was really sweet. But the Pad Thai beef was yum. Food and costumer service where the best. Money was kind of reasonable. Would come back for sure.

Love them, go there often with my husband and always order the same thing each week. Paneng curry + Pad See Ew dishes are very authentic and nice. Staff are always accomodating as often we forget to call and sometimes order when they’re about to close but they always got us. Cheers. Best authentic thai in West!

Good handy location, close to Lincoln Road motorway off ramp in West Auckland, right next to Texas Chicken, ample parking spaces right at the front but fills up quickly during peak time, say 1145am onwards. Very very yummy dishes, authentic Thai food, they have been around over last 2 years. Lots of spaces inside, usually Thai restaurants are small to Medium size, this one is huge inside which means there are a lot of tables, couch seats etc to cater for all group sizes. We loved the food, serving size is good so good value for money - lunch specials..and will return again.

Great food and great service. The only small thing I would like to comment on is that it doesn't have a great ambiance. Lighting too harsh and it has a canteen feel about it. None the less, very clean and the food was amazing.

Place is nice, plenty of seating, and comfortable. Good food, no complaints there. There is a vegetarian menu with 2 vegan options that are also shown in the lunch menu, however vegan dishes are not labelled so I had to ask. While the food is good, the dish I ordered was a little lacklustre compared to other non-vegan, and I will be trying the other one next time. Moderate pricing, but not overly expensive. Located in a plaza with a lot of parking and other food options nearby depending on taste.

We eat a lot of Thai food and this is one of the best. It's easily underestimated. My suggestion is to see for yourself..... I'm not a "duck" fan but we shared dishes with a group of 7 and it was amazing..... Also, I don't usually eat lamb because it is often tough. Not at Penisula Thai, it just melted in my mouth. Overall - an excellent experience. Thank you Peninsula Thai.. (23 June 2023)
