Tongtara Thai

Food was delicious especially sizzling lemongrass dish. Service was great...very attentive.

It was a very pleasant experience. The food was excellent as was the friendly staff who gave great service. Thoroughly recommend Tongtara.

Another great First Table experience! We were greeted warmly and shown to a nice table by the window. We ordered Tongtara Combination starters: very generous servings of pork ribs, fish cakes, crispy vegetarian spring rolls and golden puffs which were delicious. Our mains of chicken pad Thai and chicken yellow curry were also very tasty. We are keen to return and sample more of their extensive menu.

Firstly I'd like to commend the waitress who took our order. I'm vegetarian and she informed me that most dishes have fish sauce In so she made sure my pad Thai was suitable for my requirements and informed me it may taste different because of this... (most people assume veggies are OK with fish products!? So this was a pleasant surprise) it tasted delicious!, lovely restaurant and byo an added bonus makes dining out more affordable especially with first table discount too! we will dine here again

The staff were very curtious and were willing to take photographs for our family too made our evening very special

Everything was faultless! We were warmly welcomed and seated; of course it was no trouble to make the starter of Fresh Spring Rolls meat-free; it was no trouble that we had only an hour as we were going to the theatre. All our food was delicious and beautifully presented. We chose very standard mains found in all Thai restaurants, Prawn Green Curry. We were delighted that the different flavours of the array of vegetables and the king prawns were evident, the curry not overwhelming nor bland as we have found in some other Thai restaurants. We were impressed by the whole experience and intend to return.

Super food and wonderful staff

Great food, great, service and meals came out quick!

Lovely food. Attentive service. Very accommodating with children and moved us to a larger table to more easily manage a sharing meal. Price was great. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We were welcomed into the restaurant and given a lovely dressed tabled with a view, the staff are very pleasant and obliging. the meal was 4/5 and the cost most reasonable. We will try again soon.

We loved our meal as did the two friends we took so we will definitely be back. Each entree was so well presented and tasty and different form the norm. The mains were good sized portions and also very tasty. Many thanks for a lovely evening

It was a fantastic experience to dine there. Very nice and well prepared dishes. The highest quality food at the cheapest price you may find in the market.

Fabulous food and fabulous service. Thank you

A lovely experience. The staff were so friendly and looked after our 3 year old daughter so well. Food was delicious and we will definitely be back

We had a table of 3 and each of us were highly impressed at our chosen dishes and also desserts. The food is 10/10, the service was great and the setting was comfortable. Thank you. We will be back very, very soon!

Great service, nice atmosphere and delicious food. We'll definitely be back.

This completely blew me away. The service was beyond excellent, and the food devine. The portions were very generous and the presentation wonderful.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and cosy. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys Tai food.

We shared quite a few Entree's between the four of Us. Really Delicious!! Ordered Pad Thai, Stir Fry Vegies Main with Honey Pork, and a Sizzling Platter of Mixed Seafood and Vegies.... Average Mains. Too much Liquid so things were soggy/steamed instead of Sizzling or Stir Fry.. Maybe they were sitting for a while.. Great Service; Will definitely come back and try other Mains. There was a lot to choose from on the Menu. Busy place with lots of Takeaways being picked up too.

When we first walked into the restaurant, I already felt comfortable and chill because of the music and atmosphere around. There were four of us for the dinner, we ordered classic Thai dishes such as pad thai, tom yum soup, green curry, etc. The highlight was the green curry, served with jasmine rice ( they decorated it nicely in a star shaped on the plate). For services, overall everything was good, staffs were friendly and there is nothing for us to complain or feel unpleasant about it. Even though there are not so many tables as the restaurant is quite limited in terms of space, my friends and I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere in here. All in all, we will definitely come back next time to try more Thai food in Tongtara.

Lovely experience. Great service.

Delicious food and couldn't ask for better service! We'll definitely be going back.

the food was excellent in taste and amount and very friendly service, will visit again

Absolutely fabulous as always, delicious food, highly recommend the Affogato's to finish wish

Tongtara Thai was amazing. The food was exceptional and so was the service. I'm already craving a second visit back to try some more menu items. The rice paper spring rolls were so good and a must try.

Nice family dinner - go their at allotted 5pm time and already 3-4 other tables full. Busy night but great service thank you - shared combination entree which kids loved.

Delicious food, great service. Will be back!

Great service, pleasant waitresses, tasty food. Busy restaurant on a Wednesday. Glad I took a couple of containers for the food we didn't manage to finish. Good looking dessert menu but no space

Lovely meal and service, very good size too. Will definitely return.

We were very impressed in all areas of this experience. Great ambience at the restaurant. Wonderful kind staff and the best bit...... all dishes ordered were 10/10 and came very promptly which is what you want when you have young kids at the table. Well done. Fantastic place, highly recommend.

Excellent friendly service, delicious food, great wine list. Everything arrived at the table promptly, freshly cooked and was very tasty. Leave room for the coconut ice cream. .

Our waitress was great as usual and the food was good, it's a shame they don't fill the rice paper rolls with duck anymore, it's chicken mince instead and the salad filling was dry and brown.

Good food, great service, and really appreciate the promptness when we have a show to get to.
Thank you :)

Very nice food with excellent service

Love the cashew nut chicken!

Our second visit ti this restaurant and it was very good value. The portion sizes are good the food was hot and spiced as described in the menu. Drinks were reasonably priced and I would not hesitate to visit again. Even though the restaurant was busy staff coped well.

Great food, favourite Thai restaurant in Nelson!

Can't fault the food or the service.

We love this place! After living in Thailand for 10 years we miss our Thai food and Thailand. We always have great food here!

Friendly Staff good service food portion size very good. Drinks prices reasonable and with a good selection of wines and beers. Food was tasty and hot. Staff asked how you would like the food and were bang on with how hot you would like it to be. My wife had mild I had medium hot. Would not hesitate to visit again.

Great food fast service excellent
