Thai E-Sarn

Most authentic Thai restaurant in Auckland, with many dishes that cannot be found anywhere else in nz. Language can be a slight barrier but they’re super attentive in getting the order right so it all works out in the end! I love papaya salads and this is place is quite the papaya salad heaven - with 8+ varieties. Can’t wait to return to and eventually try out everything on the menu.

Beef Nam Tok and Pork ribs, yummy. We made a special trip into town to visit and we were very happy.

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN NZ !!!As a Thai food lover I can say this is one of the most Authentic, Delicious and Amazing foods I ever had since my last visit in Thailand last year.I was so happy to see this Authentic menu and so many great dishes I missed so much.They were extremely nice and made the perfect meal for us. Definitely going to come back.

Small Authentic Thai restaurant runs by a group of friends. All uncle and aunty are so kind. I felt like they genuinely treated me like a family. Reasonable price. Varieties of menu. It’s very hard to find that one Thai restaurant would contain these much of menu from around Thailand and the test is so Thai. Recommended big time. This restaurant and chefs have a big future in front of them. All the bests kaaa.

PAD SEE EW & SOM THUM THAI - must have dishes here.A hidden gem in Hobson Street, off the main area of the CBD. But still busy and appeared to have heaps of regular customers, and for a good reason.The food tastes very different to any other Thai place in Auckland, there is a more authentic taste to the food and the ingredients were very fresh.The pad see ew is a flat Noodle stir fry, perfectly cooked and the flavour was perfect being a sweet soy like taste. Plentiful vegetables stir fried in as wellmSom Thum Thai is a distinctive dish that is like a salad which is sour and spicy, cold, with crushed ingredients within it. This is the highlight dish of this place!! Very fresh and deliciously seasoned. Best I ever had compared to any other stores.The staff were super friendly, especially the grandma whom had a friendly smile and can see her calm kind mannerism as she served us. It added a very warm touch to our visit.I will be back again! (probably another time this week, as I can't get over how good this is!)It probably is the best hidden food place in Auckland CBD... And I don't say that lightly!

Great little Thai place run by very friendly owners. Authentic Thai flavours and really good portion sizes! Love this place.

Five stars for good reason. Excellent food. It looks a bit grungy from the outside and has limited seating, but the food is really good. You step in and your nose tingles with the chilli oil in the air. Really pleasant people just adds to the experience.

Most people know Iove thai food a lot!I can eat and sleep with Thai food everyday.Luckily I found this one through a friend of mine.It is absolutely beautiful and delicious even you takeaway still incredibly yummy as fresh made.They have the best Thai papaya salad in town.I wish I could eat more than two dishes at a time.If you happen passing Hobson heading to the motorway, pay attention to your right or you will be so regret that you don't stop and enjoy the amazing food
