Top Ten Thai Food Takeaway dishes up Thai classics to take away from 237 Balmoral Rd in Sandringham, Auckland, and holds a 4.8 Google rating. Its Facebook page carries the latest updates.
Thai takeaway done well means cooking to order, so expect a short wait while the woks are going — a fair trade for food that arrives hot rather than sitting under a lamp. Heat is almost always adjustable: ask for mild, medium or proper Thai-hot, because kitchen defaults can catch newcomers out. Curries, stir-fries and noodle dishes such as pad thai travel especially well, while anything fried is best eaten soon after pickup. In a suburb like Sandringham, where the main roads are lined with competing cheap eats, the takeaways that last are the ones locals keep coming back to.
With a rating that close to perfect, this Balmoral Rd shop looks to have earned exactly that kind of loyalty.
