Asian Star Food in Dunedin

"This place is easily one of the best Thai restaurants in New Zealand. The food is super delicious and nearly 100% authentic Thai (trust me, I'm Thai). I ate here twice today because it is just so delicious. I recommend you order from a special menu and you will not regret it. Stir fry minced pork with basil was AMAZING!"

"Great Thai food for lunch! We loved the Stir fried basil pork and the Pad Thai! It was delicious and the portions were generous for the price. Previously, we came for dinner an ordered the stewed pork leg and the crispy pork and they were very tasty but the meat had a bit too much fat. So I’d recommend ordering dishes with minced meat or chicken. It is more expensive for dinner but still worth trying out! Service was nice both times we went."

"If there were 10 stars, I would have give them full 10. The best and authentic Thai food I have ever had in Dunedin!! (Approved from Thai person haha). The chef which is the owner of the restaurant are all Thai and they’re such a lovely people. I sometimes order something out of the menu and they still happy to do it for me. Must try (I would say everything). Highly recommend"

"Probably the best tasting Thai restaurant in Dunedin (operated by Thai) after the change of ownership From Fish Hooks. Been there almost 7 times and was satisfied all the time. Taste can be too heavy for some as they do not shy away from the flavors but it's really good as a whole. Friendly owner as well. Recommend the Tom yum Some of the photos are special of the day and are not always available."

"A good restaurant for a quick lunch. A wide range of Asian dishes, predominantly Thai, but they also offer other Asian dishes. As with many restaurants, lunch prices are not expensive, and you pay a little more for dinner. I had the Prawns Pad Thai noodles, and it was very good. Six medium vnami Prawns with tasty noodles and more than sufficient for lunch. Also had the cashews Prawns lunch on Saturday, and it was very good. Happy to visit again. Thank you."

"06/04/2023 Very authentic thai food, perfect balance of flavour with generous portion. Very worth it of the price. Tried the vermicelli seafood salad and it was so good!! The 3 dollar herbal jelly drink saved my life from dying from the spice. Their crispy pork basil is a must to try!!!! So tasty. Will come back again to try more food! Great service and environment. Super clean and nice 13/04/2023 The Tom kha is devinneeeeesooooo gooooooooood, perfect for a cold day!!!! (Kind of like a milder version of tom yum) Pad thai is super flavourful, very big portion!! Ribs are very juicy, great side dish This place is becoming our favourite, will come back again to try other dishes! 15/04/2023 Back again so soon to try new things The green curry is super creamy and savoury, matched perfectly well with som tum (a spicy sour savoury salad) which was a experience for your palate!! Showed it in the picture how we devoured the whole thing want to be back for tom kha again haha~ 21/04 Indeed we came back!! Tried cashew beef with tom kha, as good as before, soooo delicious and consistent with flavour. Favourite dish for us!! The thai ice tea is really tasty, kind of taste like plum! Goes well with hot and spicy food~ will come back to try cashew tempura chicken!!"

"As someone whose favourite food is Thai I am more than excited that I have discovered this gem. I cannot believe how good these meals were better than other places. The price is what did it for me it’s the cheapest thai Iv ever had yet did not effect the overall quality I actually felt the chicken and beef was high quality cuts. at only $15 for each lunch we will be back once a week now and look forward to trying everything on the menu.
