Thai Siam Wanaka

The food quality seem to have slightly dropped over the 6 years I've been here. I think I'm quite a good judge given that I dine here every time I pass by Wanaka. But still, an extremely good eatery for your Thai fix!The Tom Yum steamboat we ordered this time round was really flavourful and could easily feed 3 adults. They were extremely generous with the ingredients and that was unexpected. Tons of mushrooms and squids.Spring rolls were alright. Nothing too fanciful here.Massaman Curry, unfortunately, contained prawn base so I didn't get to try.When I first came they used to sell Thai Iced Tea. Not anymore, unfortunately, which is disappointing for me.

This is in addition to the review left by a member of our party two days ago regarding RAW CHICKEN. My family and I ate at your restaurant on Monday evening. We were a party of 4 seated near the front windows TABLE 7. We ordered two serves of spring rolls, one serve of satay chicken skewers. One serve chicken fried rice, red beef curry and chicken pad Thai. The entrees were very nice. However there was at least one piece of raw chicken in the chicken fried rice. Your observation that all foods were fully consumed in your restaurant that night is absolutely incorrect. We had one small spoonful of the pad Thai and maybe two tablespoons of the red curry. We left our main courses uneaten after discovering the raw chicken. I really am loathe to leave you a bad review. Your restaurant is beautiful inside however serving raw chicken is simply dangerous and can be catastrophic to both your business and someone's health. You were obviously very busy and quite rushed as evidenced by the sporadic way the food came out. I would say you were understaffed and underprepared resulting in your chicken being served raw.

Summer 2023 ReviewWe almost didn't eat here Tuesday night because of so many recent reviews saying it's not good. Well, glad we didn't listen to those people!This is a repeat place for us as we ate here in 2019 during our first visit to NZ and we liked it then. Well, we still like it now!The food is fresh and delicious. They made my husband's order right. He can't do anything spicy and no coriander (cilantro). The waitress was very good in disclosing that there may be traces (which he can do). We let her know that it just can't be intentional putting in of spicy (anything capsaicin) or coriander.I went with a different dish than my usual. I tried the Sizzling Cashew Chicken. It was tasty. Had lots of veggies! Sauce is sweet and a tad sour. I liked it. It is simply a personal reference that I wouldn't order it again because I prefer milder, lighter, and less sweet of a sauce. My fav-go-to is the the Thai basil and spicy. So, just be aware that this dish comes with lots of sauce. (I'm not sure if normally this dish is spicy or not. Mine wasn't.)Husband had the Cashew Chicken. Delicious! I liked his sauce more than mine.Both of our dishes had cauliflower which was a bonus for me. Not normally something we see served up with our Thai dishes in the US.We shared a bowl of steamed white rice. (It is an extra charge. Nothing fatal.)Is the wait time long? Yes. BUT! Every place we have gone to during this summer vacation has been 40+ minute wait times. So. Not sure why people are complaining so much in their reviews. It's just a thing with restaurants. They are understaffed. I feel bad for them. They do have signs up notifying of long wait time. We went prepared with our Kindle and Nooks. Got in some reading time. We got seated right away and got to sit and read in comfort while they made our food. The places was packed and they were smart to cut off outdoor seating. They don't try and squeeze in every customer, as they are bountiful, instead they focus on what they can handle.It was great to be back and had a wonderful first night dine out in Wanaka.

Delicious Thai food, we ended up going to dinner here twice. We ordered appetizers and stir frys. The servers are friendly and our meals came out quickly. The stir frys were fresh and the meat was nice quality. This place also seem to be popular for takeaways with lots of people popping in for pickups. I liked the professional photos of the food on the visual menu. Very nice

Table of 3, one plate of food was cold. I ordered sizzling chicken and veg, came with a small amount of veg and most of that was cabbage. The prawn fresh spring rolls had a small shrimp in each one. We won't be back again.

The food was delicious, a little on the expensive side 4 adults for lunch was $180 for 2x entrees 4x mains but reasonable servings considering.

All round, very clean and high quality food. Portions are generous.

By far the best Thai I have ever had. Very saucy and full of flavour. Dined in about a 2 weeks ago whilst on holidays and went twice. Ordered the Pad Thai, asked for no egg, no fish sauce and added tofu. AMAZING! Very accommodating staff and aware of what vegan is. They were very busy that night and the food was taking some time so they brought over complimentary thai spring rolls. The second time I went I had the Fresh spring rolls as entree which came out very quickly and the Pal Ke Mal Noodles as a main, asked for no fish sauce to make it vegan and added tofu. Forgot to ask for it mild so it was a bit too spicy, but the flavours were on point. So saucy and oh so good. Would highly recommend!!

Relaxed placed and great tasty food. Supporting local again and this place didn't disappoint. Early dine time for us – kids in tow. Good effort.

Yummy lunch! We had such a fantastic meal. Highly recommend! This will be a regular for us now, the new owners are welcoming and friendly.
