The Original Thai - Hamilton

I had the pad thai, and it was delicious. They mentioned that they could make almost anything on the menu gluten-free, but you need to ask since nothing was labeled.

The staff was very knowledgeable when I inquired about gluten-free options. They use Tamari and can prepare many dishes to be gluten-free. I ordered the pineapple fried rice, and it was delicious!

The food was GOOD ! And the service was fast as i feel like we ordered right before a big group that was around that night . We had the whole snapper and entree size tom yam. The snapper is suitable for up to 4 ppl (but limited gravy, probably request for more ? also Depending on the other side dishes you ordered (probably another 2-3 side dishes, the fish can definitely feed a table of 4. Overall it was good, will definitely come back !

I ordered a takeaway meal over the phone, and it was ready for pickup in just 15 minutes. The service was outstanding—polite and friendly. The food was fantastic; my wife enjoyed the chicken pad Thai, while I had the signature crispy chicken, which had the perfect amount of spice. I would definitely eat here again and might consider dining in next time.

**Taste: 4/5** - The food is quite authentic and delicious. I was especially impressed with their dessert offerings, which feature a variety of traditional Thai sweets that many other places tend to overlook. They definitely earn bonus points for that! **Value: 3/5** - The prices are comparable to those at a more upscale Thai restaurant in Ponsonby, which feels a bit on the expensive side. **Decor/Ambience: 3/5** - The restaurant has a dimly lit atmosphere, but it does come across as somewhat worn down. **Overall: 3.5/5** - If the prices were a bit more reasonable, I would definitely consider dining here more frequently.
