Chok Chai Thai Restaurant, Otahuhu

Ordered takeaway for lunch: Pad Kee Mao - 6/10 Cashew chicken stir fry- 7/10 Red curry - 7/10 Service - 7/10

2.5/5 Rating. Dined hereafter seeing great Zomato reviews and was a little disappointed. Service was OK, we had to order at the counter even though we were the only patrons at the time. Highlights was the Nam Tok. The beef was tender and the marinade was very tasty. The dining are and decor was nice. Unfortunately there were many lowlights. The Yum Talay was really just salad with hardly any seafood in it. The seafood that was in it didn't seem fresh. The mussels and squid was really rubbery. If I knew this I wouldn't have ordered it. The mango curry had a very artificial mango taste to it and was too sweet. The Pad Thai was overcooked and too soggy. It lacked that chewy noodle texture a good Pad Thai usually has. I would probably only come back to try their noodles and if that isn't any better I wouldn't come back at all.

This is Otahuhu's REAL Thai restaurant . Been coming here for years. Super Clean and Consistent taste. Great Portions Even better Service and Extremely Reasonable on the pocket. Place is family run and food is light-years ahead when compared to their overhyped neighbours. The Chef is an absolute star.
