I have traveled through Newzealand, I could rate this the best Thai cuisine ever! I am writing this review in the middle of eating this. Highly recommended!
Excellent service with a quick delivery. Generous portions and good value for money. We had the pork Thai curry which had many veggies but the sauce was a little sweet for me. We also had the scollops dish (no 43) which were well cooked and tasty. Highly recommended.
Excellent dinner and friendly staff! We had the shrimp curry and shrimp with ginger and vegetables. Very fresh and authentic. We sat outside next to a warming torch which was lovely.
Really great food and service. Had the Pad Thai and the Spicy lamb with vegetables and both were really good. The service is quick and very friendly. It's also great to see a restaurant that serves a decent sized glass of wine at a reasonable price.
Went here with my partner as he loves the Massaman Curry. I ordered the Panaeng Curry which tastes so authentic. Absolutely in love with the Massaman Curry, so much so I wanted to order takeaway a day after. Rice proportions is a bit disappointing as it is quite small compared to how much curry you receive but had an amazing experience nonetheless.
We had the best experience with this place! Ordered dinner takeaway - which was FREE delivery (as our order was over $40). Over the phone, the staff were so friendly and accomodating as well as when they arrived with the food - which, by the way, was EXACTLY on time. Honestly, not a second late. Delicious food.
We especially recommend Gai 4 (char-grilled chicken) - it was simply DIVINE! (No pictures because we ate it so fast!) The look, the taste, the smell! Even the vegetables (bok choy and broccoli) were delicious - and that's not a comment I throw around lightly.
All in all, wonderful experience. Definitely recommend and will definitely use again.
Best Roti Ever!!!
Food was amazing and we weren’t waiting for long. We were in a group of 20 people and the service was great, staff are very friendly. Lots of places to sit and lots of space inside and out. Highly Recommend :)
Fast, delicious and easy. The service was friendly and efficient even though they were very busy. The food came up super fast (again, considering they were packed with other people) and it was so yum - highly recommend the red duck curry and the prawn pad Thai! Would recommend and go back :)
Amazing service and accomodating staff. We were a group of 16, arrived without a booking and they managed to set up a table for us within minutes. Food tasted amazing, and were served quiet fast, although there were two dishes that took forever to arrive as it was noted down incorrectly. Big thumbs up to their staff names Paulo, who gave us a five star service and could tell was a very hard working guy. Yay! Will definitely be back for more chicken green curry, pad Thai and tom yum! :D
We have been to Wild rice Thai cuisine a few times now and I believe that they make of one of the best Thai dishes. They are usually full in the evenings especially if you want to be seated inside. Worth a visit.
Love, love, loove this place. Had a variety of options for me - the vegetarian. Good quality, good service, on time, plenty of options for seating. Loved it. Affordable with great portions and very delicious.

This thai restaurant is located in the heart of the city in a multi cuisine, western style open food Street. The location is attractive and has amazing ambience, even during weekdays you will see lot of tourists coming for a great meal.
To start with, we ordered to combination platter. The platter was fresh and tasty
For mains we ordered green Thai chicken, red chicken gravy and volcano chicken. Their green thai chicken was absolutely fabulous. It had rich thai flavours and was cooked to absolute perfection. A must try for all first timers. Red chicken curry was good too. It was well cooked and had great flavour. Volcano chicken had a fancy entrance, it was fully in flames when it came to table. It had a generous portion size(half chicken). It was a bit dry dish overall and had a barbecue sauce flavour. However the dish was good too.
The restaurant was busy when we went and there was a lag in service.
Staff was again too busy due to the foot traffic and were slow at serving and attending tables
Tip: grab a table outside a restaurant to avoid congested feeling if dining during peak hours and must try is thai green chicken curry.

Located on the Eat Street of Rotorua, the staff was very friendly and professional. The place was spacious and good variety on the menu. We ordered spring rolls, tom yum soup and two mains. The mains were very different from the usual thai currys that I usually ordered. The mains we ordered were seafood dishes and it did have lots of variety of seafood in it.
Located at the eating street of Rotorua. This is the only Asian restaurant in eating street.
We ordered a whole volcanoe chicken, a portion of prawns skewer (3 sticks for a portion), a plate of seafood fried rice, a plate of Thai fried rice and a plate of fried mixed vegetable.
The volcanoe chicken was good but the inner part was a bit hard. The prawn skewers were not special at all. I like the seafood fried rice and Thai fried rice. Fried vegetable was with oyster sauce and not too special.
This meal cost me $100.
I deem it was expansive.
what a stunning thai in rotorua!
we just ate for lunch here for tom yum goong, pad thai and green curry beef. they're all fabulous!
i'll definitely will come back here if i come to rotorua again :))
This is an awesome place in a lively street. All our dishes were absolutely delicious and the service was also very good. We will definitely be back.
Lovely food fantastic service. Great location in food hub of city. Pad thai was super and red curry was delish. Entree was just devine. Totally recommend. Even our 5yo ate... thats saying something. Then he was able to feed the fish in the tank.
Personally that is a great Thai meal. Was quite hesitate when see the ratings 3.4. Personally it is above average. The Thai spice tom yum is the highlight. Authentic and spicy. Red curry duck, pad Thai and Thai fish cake is just fantastic. Tried all the Thai food in rotorua. This is the better version of Thai food.
This place is one of the many restaurants in the eat lane at rotorua central.. I'd rate it as a must have for everyone! The food is super authentic and pack loads and loads of flavour.. They allow u to chose the spicyness quotient as per your liking.. The pad tai in the picture tasted as awesome as the pic !! The portions are quite large and so unfortunately couldn't try more items... Gonna visit again tonight! Could get enough 👌🏽👌🏽
Food was amazing but the service left alot to be desired. Has a great little atmosphere so if they picked up and waited on tables properly would be a much better establishment.
Really felt like Thai tonight and here we are and definitely not disappointed. Brilliant Tom yum soup and satay chicken to start and followed by as good mains. Service has been brilliant and would recommend this place for sure.
Went for a dinner for two this weekend. Place was busy (Valentines Day? Ugh!)
But despite the crowd the service was spot on. Greeted at the door with a smile. Taken immediately to a table. Drinks there quickly and our dinners very soon after.
Food very well presented and tasty. Reasonable amount.
Certainly nothing to complain about. Well done.
Wow! After looking at the other overpriced Thai resturants in Rotorua - I'm glad we chose this one! The food was amazing! really authentic and tasty! Although the decor was a bit dated and mismatched, but food was great! Service was friendly - but they were a bit busy so I could see them rushing around alot - perhaps should put more staff on?
Other than that - I'd highly recommend it!

We visited Mon 23 Jan '12 with great expectations after reading the fabulous reviews on this site.
The location is great & the restaurant had a good vibe, especially for a Monday night. We were seated quickly, the service was friendly & our order was taken reasonably quickly. However, the waiter didn't ask if we wanted our meals mild, medium or hot.
When the food arrived, in reasonable time, it was beautifully presented & generous. However, my seafood fried rice, although well cooked, was disappointingly bland. My husband enjoyed his meal more than me as he doesn't enjoy a lot of spice, but also found his a little bland.
For the price - closer to European prices than traditionally more economically priced Asian price - the quality/value for money balance didn't come out even for us, but is still worth a visit (apparently Rotorua is somewhat over-priced compared to other small towns in our country!) - however, it's a good idea to ask for the level of spice that you'd like to ensure maximum enjoyment. :)

We had the best Thai meal EVER at Wild Rice last week - seriously, we eat Thai food a lot and this is no exaggeration! Wild Rice describes itself as modern Thai cuisine. The flavours are fresh and the food is superbly cooked. We began with a mixed entree of spring roll, curry puff, prawn on toast, chicken satay and fish cake all with sweet chili sauce. I'm glad we shared one entree between us - the main course was so filling that we wouldn't have been able to fit in an entree each. We had a creamy chicken panaeng curry for our main and the day's special of lamb kae sam rod, a medium rare char grilled rack of lamb served on a sizzling hot plate with garlic, chili, lemongrass and basil. Superb! Our sides of roti each came with satay for dipping, making them very good value. Our service was great; our water glasses were inconspicuously refilled, plates were warmed and our food arrived after only a short wait even with a nearly full restaurant. Very highly recommended - Wild Rice will definitely be on our itinerary next time we visit Rotorua.
Fantastic!! Really love this place and consistently fresh beautiful food. Regularly visit now and are always greeted with smiles and fresh fresh delicious food. The duck curry gorgeous, the green curry is to die for, the red curry yummo. In fact we haven't had anything off the menu that wasn't mouthwatering!
If you're in Rotorua you simply MUST visit Wild Rice Thai. The food is exceptional the service is second to none. Billy and his team go out of their way, I REALLY mean this :), to ensure their guests feel loved. Incredible experience. It really is a woohoo, as good as it gets experience!
Our friend had a fantastic experience at Wild Rice and definitely recommended the place. We decided to dine in for our friend's birthday. It was a SUPERB night. excellent food; friendly staff and Owner (Billy); quick service...what else I can say....overall ..it was " OH LA LA" :)
sure to come back again!!!!
We only got takeaways but were very impressed at what was being served in the restaurant which looked beautifully presented.
We got three dishes and it was some of the best Thai we've had in ages.
If I lived in Rotorua this would definately be a favourite place to eat.
We went to this place twice on a recent holiday. It was recommended by the guy at the wine shop down the road and is a fantastic Thai restaurant. We were recognised as "regulars" on the second night we went and were treated like stars. Service is great and food is great - highly recommended.
This is the best thai restaurant in Rotorua. One of the best green curry in NZ. Worth a try.
Had a great experience here. The restaurant is very clean and has comfy table and chairs. Hats off to the attended who made us welcome and looked after us so well all through.
Food came much earlier than expected as the restaurant was buzzing. Delicious food at a fair price.
The lady owner was nice, kids were given a free bottle of drink.
Highly recommended, A++
Group of 5 on a Friday night - we got the red duck curry, pad Thai, Tom yum soup and the lamb curry. All dishes were fantastic, authentic and full of flavour! Highly recommend this Thai food. Lovely server as well
Good place, staff were accommodating and very friendly. A bit loud inside tho.
Omg what a great food.
From many days I was looking for good Thai Restaurant in Rotorua.
So finally I went to WILD RICE THAI Restaurant which is situated in eat street.
The food was very well presented.
The taste was very much authentic.
The Manager Pulkit was very warm and welcoming.
Other staff was so nice.
Chef came out from the kitchen to check with us about the Food.
WIll definitely come back next month again.
Keep up the good work.
Walked in sat down. Deciding what to it took longer than it took for food to cook!!! And it was yummy!!! Maybe it a little bit pricier than non Eat Street BUT the fast cooking made it all worthwhile. Seafood dish had lots of prawns too!
An ok experience here. Very busy with lots of family's coming here for dinner. The restaurant was not very accommodating for vegetarian and/or vegan substitutions. Worth a visit though for sure!
Take away food, everyone enjoyed but I had to get my grandson to order as my accent not understood over the phone!
Their fried rice and tom yum is absolutely divine and delicious. I’m from Auckland and have only been here twice and it’s what i look foward to getting everytime I come to Rotorua! Only let down was the pad thai but besides that the price, service and fried rice was 👍🏽 thanks 😊
Delicious food & friendly staff! Wish we had this restaurant on the Gold Coast!
What an amazing evening we had.
Service was instant. The food was brought out in record time and was hot and tasty. One of the best Green Currys I have tasted. Friendly helpful staff. We will be back.
Had dinner with Green Curry with Chicken, Sizzling Beef and Stir fried vegetables. While my family loved the beef, I adored the Green Curry with Chicken! The sauce was so tasty I could lick the bowl clean. Place is spacious. Staff were attentive. Service was quick. Definitely recommend.
We had a great tome there. Food were nice.
We ate lunch and we enjoyed eating the food we had especially the pad thai chicken. Thanks Wildrice, keep up the good work!
Very delicious. We got the green curry and massaman curry. Very good portion for a decent price. Lovely staff aswell
Could you guys please update your opening hours on Google 😊. Food and service is great
Tasty food and attentive service. Good drink options as well.
Would come back.
