\"\" Was very happy with this place.<\/strong> After visiting another Thai place minutes before and being told they couldn’t make anything vegan, it was fantastic to see that the lady knew what vegan was. She told me what I could have, and when I ordered the vegetarian spring rolls she let me know they put fish sauce in them. Great service.<\/p>\n

\"\" Enjoyed a lovely prawn pad thai meal<\/strong> with chicken satay starter, then banana fritter for dessert, lovely waitress, the batter for the banana fritter was nice and light and wasnt over coated in cinnamon which is how it gets served most of the time, just manuka honey, ice cream and a small amount of cream HIT THE SPOT, my flatmate@zetadavies had the duck and veg and said it was lovely too !!!!<\/p>\n

\"\" The Emerald has always been our favourite restaurant<\/strong> when we lived in Papakura, one which we (my daughter and I) would frequent often (and get take out too). Since moving away, we have not found a restaurant quite like this quaint little gem. So, when passing through we just had to go back and it never fails to impress – from quality, calming soft-spoken service, to magnificent food (always our compliments to the chef\/s) and the ambience is special – more of a feeling one gets I would say. The prices are amazing too. So all you foodies out there – go there PLEASE – you will not be disappointed; but rest assured, you will leave satisfied and wanting to go back for more.<\/p>\n

\"\" Friendly and helpful staff, the menu is varied, the prices are fantastic.<\/strong> The food is one of the best Thai I’ve had in Auckland. Presentation is great, the portions are very generous, I couldn’t even finish mine, but forced in a dessert equally great value for money. I highly recommend the Emerald Thai Restaurant, it’s a little Gem I’m glad I and the other 5 people in my party experienced, now I have another great place close to home to dine at.<\/p>\n

\"\" OMG I absolutely love their mixed entree. scrumptious!!!!<\/strong> Me and my partner eat there all the time now. We went there for our anniversary and I was very impressed. I like how they bring out a little ramekin filled with pork crisps for a snack b4 your meal. Very hospitable. My favorite dish is number 36. The Duck red curry. I love that they put grapes in the curry. brings a different contrast of flavor to the meal. mmmmmmm Three thumbs up the emerald… 3 thumbs up.<\/p>\n

\"\" This restaurant is truly aptly named<\/strong>, it is a shining jewel in not only
\nSouth Auckland Thai restaurants, but right across the entire greater
\nAuckland region. Travelling from the city is well worth it as the food is
\ntop class. Always fresh and cooked in the authentic Thai way.
\nDelicious, well done to Tony and all the team at the Emerald Thai.<\/p>\n

\"\" This restaurant is an oasis in a dining desert called South Auckland.<\/strong>
\nWe have become regulars. Don’t be put off by the outside appearance
\nina parade of typical Papakura shops. The food is delicious, fresh, full
\nof flavour and well presented. The service is delightful and the value
\nsimply amazing.<\/p>\n
