Good Thai - Christchurch

A hidden gem! fresh delicious and a favourite. Have eaten my way through the menu more than once. Lunch specials are a slightly smaller version of the mains. Great value for money.

SO GOOD. We arrived in Christchurch after a day of hiking in Arthur’s Pass, and Good Thai was the perfect appetite filler. We strayed from our usual pad Thai and instead got the pork panang curry and the chicken mussamun curry. The mussamun curry broth was a bit thinner, but it tasted creamier (perhaps more coconut cream/milk) and was less spicy. The panang curry was rich and definitely had a kick, even when I asked for less spicy lol. Our waitress was the best! Super fast and attentive. We enjoyed the light Thai beer as well. Amazing meal, amazing 10% off deal on Tuesdays Wednesdays!

This restaurant serves me authentic Thai taste with good service. I 'd say that chefs take good care in selecting ingredients with reasonable price. Not only for Asians but also for the Westerners, I highly recommend going to this Thai restaurant.

Wanted to try somewhere new, and read the wonderful reviews for this friendly Thai restaraunt. VERY pleased we tried it the food is good, the service friendly and the prices easy on the pocket. A friendly welcome when we walked in, and smiling updates during the course of dinner was a wonderful reminder of just how good and friendly service can be. We had a Pork ribs entree, Spicy Duck Curry, Tom Yam soup (fish) and Pad Thai. The Ribs, eaten as the 'chef 's special ' were a disappoint, they weren 't terrible, but next time round we 'd try something different (maybe the Thai Chicken wings). Spicy Duck curry quite sweet and nicely spiced. My partner described it as 'kiwi version of Thai food ' and I must say I agree. I enjoyed it with the lovely sweetness of grapes of pineapple, but it did seem to have been adjusted for local palates. The Tom Yam was excellent! Really really enjoyed the spiciness. Pad Thai was the star of the evening and we 'll be back to get this again, most likely as a takeaway (tabao). Authentic with all the tastes that go with it. What was also enjoyable for me was the chance to have an 'Elephant Beer ' (Chang) without which no Thai dinner is quite complete. I 'm totally not being fair but I would really really love to see a Thai Mango Sticky Rice on the dessert menu instead of Cheese Cake (one reason this isn 't fair is that I didn 't try the cheesecake) All in all I know I haven 't given five stars, but 'Good Thai ' really is GOOD Thai and I would recommend that you try for yourself!

Much better than “Good!” I’ve lost count how many times I have been to Thailand, so I am always really pleased when I find a realistic Thai restaurant in Christchurch… and this place is Great! I had the Thai Fish Cakes for entree, and larb Gai and basil chilli beef for main. Seriously good. All of it. :
