May's Thai, also known as Tarn's Kitchen, is a Thai restaurant at Shop 10A, 289 Wairakei Road in Bryndwr, Christchurch, with a Google rating of 4.8 from 133 reviews. Reviewers mention the crispy pork, the mild green curry, the drunken noodles and the chicken cashew, and say the portions are generous.
A good Thai restaurant balances sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours in each dish, so a green curry should taste fragrant rather than flat. Mild options suit families, but it is worth checking the spice level when you order. Many regulars call ahead at a smaller restaurant, since tables fill quickly on busy evenings. When you choose a Thai restaurant, look for fresh herbs and noodle dishes with a good balance of sauce.
For a Thai dinner in Bryndwr, this Wairakei Road restaurant is worth booking ahead, and bringing an EFTPOS card as reviewers advise.
