Papaya salad, duck noodles

We had papaya salad(medium), the duck drunken noodles and pad Thai. Portions were a good size. Every dish was full of flavor. The heat in the papaya salad was really good. Pleasantly surprised with the flavor and texture of the “duck”. I was a little apprehensive, but with all the great reviews I had to try it and enjoyed it more than the pad Thai.

Lovely flavours

Ordered for delivery. Everything we had was awesome. Faves were the drunken duck noodles and satay tofu.

Delicious Thai

Lots of flavour and good portions. Tofu black pepper stir fry and the chicken sweet and sour dish were highlights.

Pad Thai & Thai’d Up Cocktail

We ordered the pad Thai in medium heat and it was quite mild as far as heat goes (and I’m weak when it comes to heat). Delicious though! I loved the veggies added to it.

Thai’d up Cocktail was delicious! Sweet, refreshing, just what we needed after walking around.

Food was good, mocktail disappointing

Booked a table for our last night in Auckland. It’s a lovely restaurant inside. I wasn’t sure what to order but I ordered the watermelon vanilla mocktail which although tasted fine was like a soft drink poured into a wine glass. We shared the moneybags for our entree.

I ordered the drunken duck noodles. The “duck” was delicious and it was a good sized main meal. Not gluggy either. My partner ordered the green curry which didn’t come until I’d well and truly started my drunken noodles. They might have thought we were sharing. The roti that my partner ordered with the green curry was a lot smaller than we were expecting but he said it was the nicest green curry he’d eaten.

The staff were nice and the restaurant was nice.

Delicious

I love this is available in Ponsonby amid all the other meat options. We had the chicken bites and pork stir-fry takeout. It was lovely but a little pricier than I thought it was going to be.

Pros: Tasty

So yum

The range of options is just right. Not too many but not too few either.

Pros: The (faux) chicken sweet and sour - so yum, The gingerlicious eggplant dish is also a must!, The Beef up Massas curry is also worth trying!

Cons: None I can think of.

Food that just makes you feel better

We stepped in after tromping through the rain and we were greeted by the most friendly staff. We got the couples sharing entree with fried daikon radish as a starter, amazing curry and wonderful rice. We got the PB&J ice cream to finish. We were asked so many times if anything could be better and it simply couldn't! We got everything spicy and the flavors were amazing, it had the right amount of kick without being overpowering. The dishes showcased how delicious vegan food can be without trying to make it like meat.

Pros: Wonderful Flavors , Diverse menu , Amazing atmosphere and service

Our favourite

This place rocks. The food is so good. It’s quick, nice service, good vibes and they do lots of interesting events - keep an eye on their Instagram. It’s our go-to spot and we love all three locations.

Delicious

We loved visiting this place. The food was good, attentive staff and super busy - which is always a good sign!
Our food came out super quick and we loved the fat noodles and Panang curry.
Great at asking for spice levels and brought additional chilli to add.
We found that the ingredients for the drinks didn’t match the quality of the food.
The papaya salad was too sweet without the fresh herbs and chunks of chilli to help balance it.

Pros: Great selection- everything is vegan! , Staff were friendly and attentive, Delicious food

Everything you wish for 🤩

Cozy location, too many tasty options on the menu, and lovely staff: what else do you want?
I had the fresh rolls (for the vitamins) but it’s such a beautiful dish 😍
And the green curry: as a curry should be 🤩 #Veganuary

Pros: Great menu, Atmosphere, Esthetics

Terrific thai

Good vibe, busy on a tuesday night, when we went. Very popular.
Smallish menu but good selection.
However lost a point for having non vegan spirits on their shelf.

Good but better before...

Tastes delicious but really not a fan of the new plating. They’re trying to make it fancy which is fine but it truly feels like it’s taking away from the dish, and that the portions are smaller but for the same price.
