Came here last night with my partner, and we both love Thai. Location isn’t the greatest but they do have signs so you don’t get lost. Anyway, the food was amazing! we had tom yum and tom kha soups and they were amazing! seafood in the tom yum was cooked so well. Also had chef special duck and gang dang with duck. Amazing food and price was very good for amount and quality! Will definitely be back soon

It was a nice place. Good customer service, good food. But a bit expensive. You can get better Thai food with a cheaper price. The food was too salty for us. We ended up drinking a lot of water. The other tables were drinking a lot of stuff as well.

It’s not the worst Thai around, but with better, cheaper Thai so close by, I don’t see why you’d bother with Thai Classic. Getting close to the $ 20 main mark, the food should be better than it is. On my last visit the wait for meals was long, and most of the patrons in the front half of the restaurant(closest to the kitchen) spent half their meal coughing due to the smoke coming from the kitchen. Save yourself the time(and the dollars) and head to Thai Me Up or Ponsonby Food Court instead.

Thai Classic is located upstairs in an arcade along Ponsonby Road. We had dinner here one Friday night after work. We ordered two mixed entrees but weren’t impressed. The Money Bag was quite greasy and the satay wasn’t true to form For mains, we ordered a duck curry and a mixed seafood sizzling platter. The stir fry looked like a sloppy mound in the centre of the plate. We then realised that we had received the wrong dish. After pointing it out to the wait staff, the dish was promptly taken away and the sizzling platter delivered to us. It was fairly average. Meanwhile the curry was probably okay but was unfortunately not hot enough(in terms of heat). So overall a bit of a disappointment. Unfortunately there are lots of reasonably-priced Thai restaurants in Auckland which leave mostly the quality of the food to distinguish one good restaurant from another. The quality of the food at Thai Classic was just not up there with similarly priced restaurants.

Thai Classic is one of the lesser known Thai restauarant in Ponsonby, hidden down an alley way and up a flight of stairs. They served us up decent sized meals with huge amounts of rice, which is probably a good thing when you have a BYO restaurant — it probably counterbalances the superfluous amounts of wine being consumed by the large rowdy tables of 20-somethings, which seemed to be a popular type of customer at this joint. Therefore I have to say the wait staff were very good and patient considering this situation; from previous experience as a waitress I can certainly vouch for the annoyingness of large drunken tables. They serve up delicious sizzling platters which can be great to share at a table, so I would definitely recommend to get one of these if you are planning on coming here with a group of your drunken, rowdy, BYO-inclined friends.
