We ordered online for delivery - we spent $180 for 4 people and the food arrived stone COLD. Very disappointing. The curry was ok, but had obviously been sitting around far too long before delivery. Not good enough.

Walked in on spec as we passed by on a Wednesday night.
Quick service with a smile and tasty food, well priced - we had the spring rolls and lamb flat noodles.
Couldn't be happier, made all the more interesting by R2D2 delivering.
Loved it

Jeder der schon mal in Thailand war (ich bestimmt ein dutzend mal) weiss, dass Thais nie so kochen würden.
Das ist Indische Küche mit Thailändischen Namen. Für Liebhaber Thailändischer Küche eine Enttäuschung.
People who visited Thailand before (I did more than a dozen) will know that Thai never would cook this way. Its Indian kitchen with Thai named dishes. For people loving Thai food a disapointment.

On the plus side, the Num Tok beef salad was very tasty. On the less than plus side, waited about 4 minutes for a table while a takeaway customer was being served. In the meantime, a waiter appeared and showed me to a table.

The delivery robots are quite entertaining, and you have to wonder with the no doubt major cost of these robots, they still require a human to follow them. Under the circumstances, what follows is ironic in the extreme.

After the food had been served, to his credit, the waiter did ask how the food was. However, he was less than enthusiastic when clearing the table when I placed an order for dessert.

In a now near empty restaurant, it took several minutes for the dessert to arrive, and I was seriously wondering if it had been forgotten.
In the meantime, one of the robots was actually verbalizing to its intended recipients, the irony of this will now become apparent.

I was attended to by the same waiter when paying the bill. No further talk, just "that will be $42." I duly paid and said thank you, to which he turned and hurried away like a frightened rabbit. The ultimate irony? The waiter's name, see photo attached.

So the question begs, are the robots at Greens Paihia Thai at more human than the "humans"? You decide.
