This is the best Thai restaurant in Hamilton. Amazing flavours, huge portions and friendly staff. Interior could do with a bit of an update but I would happily eat their food in a dimly lit cave and still be very happy.

This was one of several visits for our family. I had to miss dessert again because I couldn’t fit it in. Have got to leave the Entrees alone, but … yeah right!! If anything the food is too nice (if there is such a thing). I have never been one to try Asian or spicy food, but there are so many milder dishes that are amazingly flavoursome here, that I love going back. The staff are great. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait when really busy, but that’s not a problem when you’re looked after so well & having a nice time.

Me and my partner had take away from here, the atmosphere was so nice we stayed for a drink before heading home and the food was absolutely fab! Best pad Thai I’ve ever had!

We have eaten here quite a bit, but I always get the same dish – Pad Thai, which is de-li-cious, always fresh and the staff are always lovely and kind.

I had a Green Thai Curry at this restaurant and it was absolutely fantastic – it even came with an intricately carved carrot in the shape of a flower! The staff obviously take pride in their work and offer up delicious food at reasonable prices. I went with a party of 5 and everyone else was very happy with their meals. Great option for Thai food in Hamilton.

I have been several times to this wonderful restaurant. The gentleman that works there is happy, funny and welcoming (owner perhaps?). The service by all the staff is great and you never feel like you’re waiting for the waiter like so many places.

While the service is good the food is simply the best. My family usually share meals around when we eat and I have never tasted anything from this place that wasn’t amazingly good. If you’ve ever travelled to Thailand you will be instantly transported back.

For those of you with a taste for spice you’ll appreciate that when you order a hot dish or ask for a dish to be served extra spicy you will get a well rounded and balanced hotness not just some cayenne pepper dumped in to spoil your day.

Could this be the best Thai in Hamilton? The tipping point for me is the location in the north of the city center with easy parking and the excellent banter you will get to take part of/overhear with the owner.

Was never disappointed by Thai Classic, but I haven’t been there in awhile. We always got takeaway and loved it every time! Very flavourful and fresh, and didn’t have to wait too long. Good parking outside too, nice to be able to park right outside.
