So I’ve lived in Hamilton for many years and always looking for a good fish and chip place. I’m about to move to a new house in Forrest Lake so decided to check out the local talent tonight. So after hearing lots of people rave about this ‘Thai and Kai’ place on Rimu I thought I’d give it a whirl. Oooohhh dear God I’m in heaven!!! That place is too good. There must be some kind of black magic voodoo in there to be that good! Absolutely AMAZING!!! I’m going to get so fat when we move in to our new house because it’s walking distance from this place. I will be sampling everything on the menu! Love it Love it Love it!!!!

Ps- Hubby hates fish and chips, and barely touches it when I buy it. Tonight he cleaned his plate and asked for more!

Thank you so much Jen, it’s a real pick-me-up reading such kind words at the end of a very tiring day. I hope we can continue to please.

This place is brilliant!!!! We have a takeaway night once a week and take turns choosing where to go. But since trying Thai and Kai we no longer take turns chosing, it’s a no brainer, Thai and Kai every week from now on! The owners are really friendly, they’re fast and affordable, and the quality of food is amazing. If I could describe the food in four words it would be “Nom nom nom nom…”

Very disappointed food took a very long time and poor quality in chips this used to be my favourite place for chips but not anymore I feel ripped off but burger was nice and worth my $5 1 star for the burger. Please make your chips properly it’s disappointing wasting my money

I’m very disappointed to hear this Debra and offer you my apologies. The wait times on extremely busy days such as today are unavoidable, but poor quality chips are unacceptable to us all.

I would really appreciate feedback as to why you feel the chips were not up to our usual standard so we can do our best to correct this in the future.

Though thank you for the generous one star for the nice burger.

Best takeaways in Hamilton, great fish and chips, yummy Thai only problem I have each time I go is deciding on what to get!

Restaurant quality food that is fast fresh and cheap!
The Thai curries are to die for, easily as good as, if not better than you’d get from a restaurant.
Fish and chips are cooked fresh and are surprisingly not delivered dripping in fat.
This place even does burgers! The gourmet burger range is delicious and they usually have a weekly special burger e.g. the pizza burger.
A creative, caring takeaway place worth driving across town for

I think this place is great! The service is always friendly and the food is amazing! I also have to disagree with the comment further down. They are masters at Thai food and there gourmet burgers are to die for!!

This place is awesome. Best Thai takeaway available in Hamilton. Totally disagree with below comment regarding Tuk Tuk. We have actually changed from going to Tuk Tuk as found the Thai there bland and really who has 45mins to wait for takeaway. Rimu St is great! Great food, quick and nice people

This is a place I really want to like. The people seemed very friendly and nice, and the prices for fish and chips seemed reasonable.

However, the Thai food was bland and unexceptional, especially compared with Tuk-Tuk, whose prices are comparable (i.e., too expensive for takeaway). Having said that, I have yet to find Thai restaurants I find satisfactory in New Zealand (two in Christchurch come close), so my standard for Thai food is quite a bit higher than the average Kiwi.

This place has its charm, and if you like most Thai restaurants in New Zealand, you will like this place. Definitely worth a try so you can form your own opinion.

This little gem situated next to the roundabout, is the best kept secret in Hamilton. No flash tables as you would expect if you were dining in a flash restaurant with large overheads and prices. But you can eat in or take-away. The food is as good if not better than any flashy restaurant. The fish and chips are not dripping in fat like some other places. The burgers are like the good old days….yes they use beetroot, and more than one piece.

If your going to order Thai your in for a treat and I recommend the Cashew nuts with pork.

The family of staff are friendly and welcoming, with a great sense of humour.

I’ve been several times now and was thrilled to receive the same high standard of food each time. I’m not a great fan of fish & chips so was very thrilled when mine was delicious. The Hoki fish was lovely, very moist. Loved the crunchy bits in with my chips. Always a fave of mine. Also pleased with the Gourmet Chicken Burger I got.

Great friendly service with a good selection of conventional takeaways and Thai cuisine to match. Something for everybody at an affordable price. I will definitely be back when passing through Hamilton next. It’s great to see top quality food available without having to go in to the CBD to get it.

This place is amazing! Quality home made batter, perfectly cooked fries, and the best thai food I’ve ever had, all for a reasonable price. All I can say is I’m lucky I don’t live closer, or I’d be there every night!
