Stopped at U thong during our honeymoon in NZ, somehow the lady there guessed we were on our honeymoon and were sooo nice about it, even got us champagne on the house! Helped us with ordering, added free stuff and even shaped the rice to be heart shaped, just for us! The dishes were OK, not something to lose your mind for, but in big generous portions. Prices were average I guess but because the portions were big, good value for money. Overall one of the better experiences we had in NZ, mainly because of service :)

My granddaughter had the honey chicken which she pronounced delicious while I had the rice pot with pork. Very tasty. We enjoyed a relaxed and enjoyable dinner here on Queens Birthday weekend. On leaving, my granddaughter asked if we could return sometime. Thereâs a great recommendation!

We went there on Friday night - it was not particularly busy but we had a bit of a wait as several groups had arrived at the same time. Our waitperson was suitably apologetic, but it was well worth the wait as the food was excellent. Not flashy or overpresented, just very good honest ingredients cooked and flavoured to perfection. I had Kuey Tiew combination seafood (prawn, mussel, scallop, squid) in a delicious gravy, while my partner had Thai chicken curry. The servings were very generous so our extra rice serving was a bit unnecessary....we were full. The bonus was a 15 pc discount for us oldies gold card holders, which made it even more reasonable at under $40 for two. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Nahm, Thai with a Twist
Reviewed By arby235
It may not be authentic Thai food but they have added a slight twist to the menu. Yes, the choice is limited but you can get away with a nice decent meal. Looks like the locals do like Thai food as we did see quite a few restaurants around.The service was above average.Overaall--7/10
