Khao Soi Remuera brings the flavours of Northern Thailand to 355 Remuera Road in Auckland. It is the newest location from the team behind Khao Soi Welly Eatery, who spent three years serving Wellington through Yor Yak Thai Eatery before building a concept around the dish they love most: khao soi, one of Northern Thailand's most beloved bowls. From the beginning, the intention has been to share the authentic flavours the team grew up with, through carefully crafted recipes and traditional techniques — a genuine experience of Northern Thai comfort food.
The menu centres on the signature khao soi: a fragrant curry broth balanced between spice, richness and freshness, filled with soft egg noodles or rice noodles and tender slow-cooked meat, most commonly chicken or beef. Crispy fried noodles are added on top for texture, and every bowl comes with pickled mustard greens, fresh lime and sliced shallots so you can tune it to your own taste. Around the noodle bowls you'll find bold Northern Thai street food — small bites like the popular herbal grilled chicken and Sai Oua, the Northern Thai sausage — plus Thai-inspired bingsu desserts and colourful drinks for a light, refreshing finish.
It's a casual and welcoming spot for lunch or dinner, Tuesday to Sunday, with tables bookable online and the Remuera menu available for online ordering through EasyEats.
On 355 Remuera Road, Khao Soi Remuera serves the dish it's named after — and getting that bowl right is the whole point.
The restaurant is the newest chapter for a team with deep Thai cooking roots in New Zealand. After three years serving Wellington through Yor Yak Thai Eatery, they launched Khao Soi Welly Eatery in 2025, inspired by the vibrant flavours of Northern Thailand and created to introduce one of the country's most beloved dishes to a new audience. From the beginning, the intention was to share the authentic flavours the team grew up with, through carefully crafted recipes and traditional techniques — a genuine experience of Northern Thai comfort food. As the community grew, so did the vision: the concept expanded north to Remuera, bringing the flavours of Northern Thailand to even more diners across New Zealand. The Auckland kitchen follows the same playbook that won over Wellington.
Khao soi sits at the heart of the concept and at the centre of the menu. It is a signature dish of Northern Thailand, known for its rich balance of flavours and textures. A bowl opens with a fragrant curry broth, prepared with a deliberate balance of spice, richness and freshness. Into that broth go soft egg noodles or rice noodles and tender slow-cooked meat — most commonly chicken or beef. For contrast, crispy fried noodles are piled on top, and the bowl arrives with pickled mustard greens, fresh lime and sliced shallots alongside.
Part of khao soi's charm is the ritual. Squeeze in the lime, stir the pickled greens and shallots through the broth, and crack the crisp noodle crown into the soup as you eat, so every mouthful moves between soft and crunchy, rich and bright. It's a dish with contrast built in — the broth deep and aromatic, the garnishes sharp and cooling, so the last mouthful tastes different from the first. Order it with slow-cooked chicken for the classic version or beef for something deeper; either way, it's the bowl the restaurant exists to serve.
The menu reaches beyond noodle bowls into the bold, vibrant territory of Northern Thai street food. Small bites include the popular herbal grilled chicken and Sai Oua, the herb-studded Northern Thai sausage — sharing plates built for the middle of the table. To finish, there's Thai-inspired bingsu, a colourful shaved-ice dessert that has become one of the brand's most popular items, plus a lineup of colourful drinks for a light and refreshing end to the meal.
Khao Soi Remuera is a casual and welcoming spot for lunch, dinner or simply a sweet treat. Service runs twice a day, Tuesday to Sunday: lunch from 11.30am to 2.00pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, and to 2.30pm Thursday through Sunday; then dinner from 5.00pm to 8.00pm early in the week, extending to 8.30pm Thursday to Sunday. Mondays are the kitchen's day of rest. Bookings can be made online, and for those who'd rather slurp at home, the Remuera menu is available for online ordering through EasyEats.
The format, whether it's a quick weekday lunch or a relaxed dinner, is simple: order a bowl each, share the small bites, and finish cold with bingsu.
Because khao soi this considered is hard to find. Everything here — from the name on the door to the bingsu in the cabinet — comes back to one dish from Northern Thailand, built the traditional way: fragrant curry broth, soft noodles, a crispy topping and those bright little sides of pickled mustard greens, lime and shallot. Start with the signature bowl, add herbal grilled chicken and Sai Oua for the table, and finish with something colourful. That's the journey the team started in Wellington and now continues on Remuera Road.
