“ After 1 week of traveling and not eating a single Asian dish, finally we decided to eat in a Thai resto. This is a regular takeaway resto, mainly, serving the locals - either living around the area or on the way back from work. The shop is very mom-and-pop and the lady is patient and polite. The resto is rather open air - so in winter (like in August when we visited) it was quite cold. Food was very good; short of amazing. The standard you get from takeaway food but better. Yellow curry was not at all spicy and super creamy, the stir fry was really nice; so was the spring rolls. A bit on the expensive side, but so is all the Asian food in Auckland. Recommended! ”

“ I love Pad Thai and this place has some of the best I’ve tried around the world! Generous portions, too. Fast service. And, the food is just good! It’s a simple place, nothing fancy, but clean. Love this place and highly recommend it. I’ve visited this place several times on my stay in Auckland. The food is just good! ”

“ Mali Thai in Auckland offers an authentic Thai dining experience that delights the senses. Their Pad Thai stands out with a distinctive smoky wok flavor, setting it apart from other versions. The Tom Yum Fish Ball Rice Noodle Soup is a must-try, boasting perfectly cooked noodles and a tangy broth that invigorates the palate. While the Thai Fish Cakes are enjoyable, some patrons have noted a preference for a fresher taste. The staff’s friendliness and the restaurant’s reasonable pricing enhance the overall dining experience. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Mali Thai is a worthwhile destination for genuine Thai cuisine. ”
