Food Alley

Totally Asian food experience

9 Albert Street
Auckland 1001
New Zealand
+64 (0)9 373 4917

As the best food court in the city for cheap and authentic Asian food, Food Alley boasts 15 kitchens sharing a common dining area. It is a bit like eating in a converted car park--but you do not come here for the scenery. Food from all over Asia is on offer. Zap is recommended, with its beautifully presented food from Northeast Thailand; try the larb chicken and rice. Claypot Roast, offering roast duck and pork Chinese style, with rice and soup is also excellent. A fully licensed bar also makes delicious fresh juices.

Ponsonby
Auckland 1001
New Zealand
+64 (0)9 378 1776 Formerly Kwan's Thai Restaurant, KaiMana is fully licensed and offers authentic Thai cuisine, served by charming Thai people. The decor is simple and effective.

The food has a predominantly Northern Thai flavor, specific to the region of Isaan, from where Chef Mana hails. Main courses include Roast duck red curry with grapes, tomato & coconut. They serve excellent Tom Yum soup for those who like it hot!

Sawadee Thai Cuisine

Thai delight 42a Ponsonby Road
Ponsonby
Auckland 1002
New Zealand
+64 (0)9 376 0320
http://www.sawadee.co.nz Sawadee serves excellent Thai cuisine in wonderfully Asian-style surroundings. Thai folk art and religious decorations festoon the walls, and seating is available at white-cloth covered tables or in sunken-seating areas. There is a spacious, tastefully decorated function room. The food at Sawadee is legendary, authentic Thai cuisine served in generous portions at reasonable prices. The bar is fully stocked and the wine list is reasonable in both extent and price.

Thai Friends

Friendly place 3/311 Parnell Road
Parnell
Auckland 1001
New Zealand
+64 (0)9 373 5247 One of the most popular Thai restaurants in Parnell, this is certainly a local's choice. They boast two distinct dining areas—the cafe-style patio out on the street, or the traditional Thai dining room at the back, with its embroidery and triangular cushions. Authentic Thai cuisine is helpfully labelled for its spice content. The sour chicken soup with lemon grass and coconut cream is a sure bet, as is the Muslim beef curry served with jasmine rice. They are both licensed and bring your own wine. The wine list is small and reasonably priced, but you are better off going with a Singha beer.

Thai Siam Restaurant & Bar

Add some spice 29 Ponsonby Road
Ponsonby
Auckland 1001
New Zealand
+64 (0)9 376 9393 Thai Siam is an established business with a regular and loyal clientele. The restaurant is stylish and clean. Dishes suit all tastes, with mains ranging from Kaeng Khiao Waan (green curry chicken, prawns, lamb or beef with bamboo shoots, green peas and coconut milk) to Pla Lard Prig (pan-fried whole snapper in chilli and aromatic herb sauce). They use specially sourced fresh New Zealand ingredients and offer a wide selection of local wine and beer from the bar.
