The Legend Thai take a way is a Thai restaurant and takeaway on Karori Road in Wellington's Karori suburb, holding a 4.8 Google rating. Good Thai takeaway kitchens cook to order, which matters because a curry or stir-fry made fresh tastes a world apart from one that has sat in a warmer. Heat is almost always adjustable, so it pays to say how spicy you actually want it rather than trusting the menu's default — medium at a Thai kitchen is often hotter than elsewhere. Dishes travel differently too: curries and fried rice hold up well on the drive home, while noodle dishes are best eaten sooner rather than later. Locals tend to order ahead at peak dinnertime, when small kitchens get busy. For Karori households after a proper Thai feed without heading into the city, this well-rated local spot is right on the road home.
