We went here with family to celebrate the holidays, as well as to enjoy something a little bit different. We realized shortly after arriving that this was the same restaurant that we visited that used to be all the way on the opposite side of the country in Christchurch. The food was good, with a lot of different things to... More

We loved this place. All of our dishes were excellent as was the service. Between us we had chicken red curry, tofu red curry, Thai sweet & sour pork, prawn pad Thai and Penang Suk Jai and I am genuinely salivating at the memory as I write this. (What an image !) The price was not at all unreasonable and... More

Dear Poconut Thank you for your positive feedback about our food. I have just checked Tripadvisor.com today after a long hiatus as we were so busy last month (May 2013) that I had almost no free time whatsoever to do anything. I certainly remember your visit, as I was asked whether your Whisky was a double or single shot. Our... More

The food, service and atmosphere are really good. We have been a number of times and it is always dependable. An outside area has been added but may not get a lot of use till next summer.

We now have 4 Thai restaurants of which we regularly visit 3. The Suk Jai is one. Reservation is advised as they get very busy. Food is well-prepared, tasty and generous portions, fairly authentic.

This small, but well run Thai restaurant hidden in a row of suburban shop fronts is excellent, the tables are adequate size and spaced just far enough from each other and they have also added outdoor seating (under a sail) the waiting staff handle the extra skilfully so the service is fast and efficient.. No surprise that this restaurant is... More

We were recommended to go to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The service was faultless - friendly and efficient. The food was absolutely brilliant - and the bottomless rice pot is great for ensuring that you don't ever go hungry. We would heartily recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

Recommended by our B&B hosts, we were not disappointed. Would not usually eat Thai, but welcoming service and really good food made us glad we did. BYO wine is a great idea and no corkage charge !!!!!!!!! Take the trouble to seek this place out, don't think you will be disappointed.

Since the new owners arrived in September this has become the restaurant we eat at most. The food is delicious, drinks reasonably priced and the staff very friendly. The manager makes sure everything runs smoothly and goes out of his way to be helpful. If you want a quick meal at the end of the day if you tell them... More

By chance came across this restaurant after getting directions from a fellow spectator at the T20 cricket match at the cobham oval. It has great atmosphere and the welcome was very eastern and warming. The menu had a wide selection of Thai food at very reasonable prices and items to suit all palates.
