Best Wok Restaurant (晋丰小馆) is a Thai restaurant at 59 The Runway in Wigram, Christchurch, carrying a 4.0 Google rating and posting its updates on Facebook rather than running a full website.
Thai cooking is a balancing act — chilli heat, lime sourness, salty fish sauce and a thread of sweetness held in check — and the kitchens worth returning to let lemongrass, galangal and fresh herbs do the leading. Heat is usually negotiable, so ask for a dish milder or fiercer and most will oblige. A good way to eat is to share: a coconut curry for depth, a wok-fried stir-fry for smoky edge, a sharp salad to cut through, all over plenty of rice.
In a Christchurch suburb grown out of the old Wigram air base, an address on a street literally called The Runway makes this an easy dinner stop for the city's south-west.
