Thai Chef's Restaurant

Great place for BYO. Can get a bit too noisy and service can be compromised when too busy. Keep in mind each booking is only 2 hrs when it's a busy night.

Great food and great service. The Thai green curry was my favorite item on the menu and it's a great resteraunt for byo wine as it is opposite the New World.

We ordered here for the first time last night and the food was delicious! Great depth of flavour <3 will definitely be ordering here again

This is my #1 go to Deliver Easy choice. I have had many of the meals and often order for friends who are staying wiht me. We have never had a bad experience. Thai Chefs food is delicious and the portions are quite good so I often eat half and keep half for the next day. I like spice and tend to choose medium because the flavours are superb and I don't want to mask them.

Very nice overall. Good staff, food and atmosphere. Not my normal place to eat because it's a bit pricey for me, but I think most dining experiences on this level will be within this kind of price range. Plus I was out with friends so it was a good time overall!

First of all service is incredibly average. Good hospitality is important to make you fell welcome at a place. The food matched the service quality. I ordered the "Spicy Girl" and it was incredibly average. I was expecting a meal with fresh chilies and bright sparks of flavor. I got a bowl of disappointment and had to pay extra for rice. Imagine having to pay for addons just to make your meal complete. When I go to MacDonald's and order a big mac does it come out with no buns? No, they are an expected thing to be included in the meal. When I order a Thai meal I expect rice to accompany it. I'm not some paleo freak that faints at the site of carbs. I'm a regular human being. What is this economy coming to? Wouldn't be surprised if I start having to pay a subscription to breathe soon. When I pay 23 dollars for a taste of SEA I expect it to be better than something I can make at home. Presentation was poor too. Corrugated cut veges? I'm not at a fish and chips store cut it normally man. The meal had a decorative salad with a carrot flower. I think most restaurants stopped doing that gimmick in 2003. I've heard their curries are good so get those because the meal I got which was described as "sexy" on the menu turned out to be an ugly affair. If that meal was sexy then I'm the pope. 6/10 Felt like I was at a B-tech Buddha Stix.

Arrived early at 615pm and the place was humming. Staff were very friendly but took awhile to take either our drink or food order. Actually I had to call someone over so we could order a drink- after 10 minutes of sitting down. Food was a bit of a hit and miss. All starters were delicious. The mains were wonderful for some of our table and disappointing for the others. It was my birthday and I particularly choose the Restaurant on the reviews and felt quite let down. My Mother complained that her food was utterly tasteless and she only had 3 maybe 4 mouthfuls. By the time she was offered a replacement dish everyone else had finished. There were 7 of us and we spent a reasonable amount of money and one person had several cocktails BUT my Mother's boring inedible dish was not taken off the bill - even though the poor woman left hungrier than when we arrived- not impressed. And you let potential repeat customers leave disheartened, We have a fairly large extended family. Then you let my 90 year old Mother go home hungry. I for one won't be returning.

Food wasn't bad reasonable price and size of dish was fine, but horrible staff. They were unfriendly and rude.

Used to be my favorite Thai restaurant but with the change of staff in the kitchen it is not as good any longer.

Food is not authentic it’s like average Chinese cuisine. Service was good although there were only 2 staff on the floor.

Absolutely APPALLING customer service. The staff is incredibly rude! They THREATENED to charge a fee of $50 to a boy who couldn't afford a meal and because of this wanted simply to leave (still pay the BYO fee and leave realising he couldn't afford to eat there whilst his friends stayed) and then later this restaurant, THREATENED to charge the whole table $100 for NO REASON at all. If you're going to have a minimum ordering requirement for BYO - HAVE THAT STATED somewhere prior to people booking or MENTION IT. This poor boy was HUMILIATED in front of his friends because of your POOR staffs communication and lack of sympathy. I am actually shocked with your ethical values and lack of respect for your customers. DO NOT GO HERE. I have a huge social platform and if I hear this happens again, I will not hesitate to expose this restaurant. Do better.

Not recommend. Food taste good but the service is bad. The order has not been taken after we sat down for 10 mins and it's really a quiet night. We're still eating and told the waitress "almost done" but she still took all the plates away. Dropped the used spoon on my coat. What a wonderful dinner.

Really tasty food and amazing service. They forgot our Roti with our takeaway order, they rang us to let us know and ran the order to us a few blocks over.

Found us a seat despite not having a booking. Was a very busy night but the waiting staff were polite and attentive. The red curry is among the best I've had.

Food was tasty.
However, we found the menu not very user friendly being a firs timer. Staff need to be able to explain the menu better.
Overall - Good

Yuummmm. Super fresh. Massuman curry is drool worthy. Meals always arrive quickly. If you love Thai you'll love this place!

Food was authentic and delicious. Absolute must if visiting Wellington. Staff were friendly and meals reasonably priced. A winner

The food was great, service was OK. Meals all came out one at a time. Unfortunately it was a very busy Saturday night for them, with large groups that took up a huge amount of space. Our 2 round tables squashed in the walkway to the bathrooms. Causing our guests to move often.

Very bad hospitality. We ordered PAD Thai, cheff special noodles, alcoholic noodle, and mojito. Nothing was tasty and we found hair into Pad Thai. Instead of making pad Thai hot they given us very mild and alcoholic noodle hot.

Very tasty food, and we were all full and happy when we left.
I do feel the 15% surcharge on a public holiday was a bit steep and service was very slow.
