Thai Po Thong - Governors Bay

Visiting from Auckland popped in there for dinner. Lovely clean place. Waitress was very friendly and welcoming. Ordered the chicken satay for entree chicken was cooked perfectly and satay sauce was very tasty and well presented. had the Chicken Ginger stir fry for  main chicken and vegetables were cooked perfectly and the flavors was beautiful. Will defiantly come back next time I'm in Christchurch

A quick meal after a movie for 4 people.Not a warm welcome but at 8.45 not completely surprising.The restaurant was empty except for a very inebriated woman slouched at the table next to the bar.Shortly after we arrived she started playing a recording on her cell phone so loudly the even 6 tables away we had trouble talking together.A member of our group asked her to please turn it down and received a mouthful of abuse !Instead of remonstrating with the woman the 'duty manager ' continued to ply her with glasses of red wine !The meal itself was very nice and the service good however the evening was spoiled with this unfortunate experience.

Best Thai takeaway I've had- fresh and tasty. Nice and quiet if you want to dine in. Food presented well and with creativity and staff really friendly.

Went on a cold Sunday evening. Very quiet which basically meant the service was prompt. Lovely, clean restaurant, with a special touch of tissues being available on each table. Now we went there primarily as it was one of our favourite restaurants in Christchurch before the quakes. Times do change and so has this restaurant. We both ordered satay chicken entrees which were fine. Actually a very nice satay sauce. Pork spare ribs were ordered as a main along with the chicken mussamun. The ribs were a bit dry and the mussamun not the best we 've ever experienced. This was particularly so after a beef mussamun was brought to the table. Upon advising it was chicken that we ordered the dish was replaced in approximately two minutes with the right one. Now that 's quick cooking from 'scratch '. Overall, like lots of 'new ' restaurants opening since the quakes things will never be the same!

We have been to this restaurant on a number of occasions and have always been delighted. The ambiance is pleasant, very clean with very pleasant service from the Thai staff. The prices are very reasonable and the food is just fabulous with great authentic Thai flavours. We have eaten Thai food in many countries and regularly visit Thailand and the food at this restaurant is as good as we have found. In summary, we just love this restaurant and happily drive across the city, even in rush hour, to eat there! Highly recommended for a great dining experience that we have yet to fault!
