Fantastic Dinner
After researching Trip Advisor for good restaurants, my wife and I booked at Chim Thai during our vacation to New Zealand. Wow, that was a great decision. We had the honey glazed duck and the black pepper lamb, both as good as we've had anywhere. Both arrived at the table sizzling hot and were accompanied by a variety of tasty stir-fried vegetables and white rice. We devoured it.
The meal was so good that we booked again for tomorrow, our final day in NZ. Do yourself a favor and dine at Chim Thai.

My husband brought me to lunch here a year or so ago after being introduced to the restaurant by his boss. Since then we have been back with friends, family, and for more dates like the first. The service is always warm and welcoming, fast and efficient. We have explored the menu over our many visits and are always delighted by the fresh flavours, the beautiful curries and sauces. The larb goysa are a firm favourite entree that we highly recommend. We cannot speak highly enough of the friendly attentive staff, and wonderful cuisine. See for yourself!

We are frequent visitors to Thailand, and lovers of Thai food, so eat regularly at Thai restaurants. After one visit my wife and I both rate Chim Thai as the best Thai food we have enjoyed outside Thailand. The Honey roasted Duck arrived on a sizzling plate, and was scrumptious. Crispy pork seems to be their most popular dish, and we would endorse that, We also had Penang Curry with Beef, a lovely curry, despite being served on a flat dish with very little sauce. Seafood Medley completed our meal, which was almost too much for the four of us who shared the dishes. We wish we lived in Hamilton, and could enjoy their food on a regular basis.

Best takeaway thai I have had in a long time
We live 2 hours away and whenever we visit family in Hamilton we have to have takeaway from Chim thai. The crispy pork was our favourite last time with the duck a close second. Fresh flavors with each dish having its own unique taste. Love it

Chim Thai = New Thai favorite
I ordered takeout with having such a long day at work. Ordered through website and when I arrived in store, i was greeted straight away. Advised my order was about 5 mins away and was offered a seat and a glass of water. I would've loved to have dined in and next time we will. Amazing meals and awesome that they care for the environment by having biodegradable boxes which come with a note advsing you, that you might want to change containers if you cannot finish it all to store in fridge. Just amazing in heart of Rototuna.

Excellent Time and Food
Had dinner there with my friends because I heard this was a great restaurant. My expectations were met upon arrival when I was greeted by fantastic service that politely took my order. I ordered the crispy pork with rice which was fantastic and tasted amazing as well as the honey duck which I also tried. The chocolate trilogy dessert was divine and really completed my night. Overall would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food and service. (On a side note my waitress was very beautiful and made the night enjoyable)
