read the reviews below and i have to agree it's the best Thai in Christchurch perfectly priced portion sizes, if you want bigger or more there is a portion upgrade for $3 I took a couple of friends with me who to my surprise already eat there often. The first thing to take me by surprise was the 40ft Container.... More

My favourite thai in the south island during our three week road trip. Came out quickly, fresh and hot. Ordered the vego rice paper rolls and vego chilli basil tofu. So good! Husband wasn't 100% on his pad thai, seemed to be tomato based which he hasn't come across before.

As another reviewer pointed out....it certainly is a lucky dip. Never know if you will have fresh or frozen veg in your meal or if you will have chicken instead of tofu. Food was fantastic once upon a time but at the moment I wouldnt go out of my way to eat there. Staff are great just hope they pick... More

Before the pop up mall, there was Thai Container. As an indication of the resilience of post earthquake businesses, Thai Container arrived on the corner of Bealey Ave and Spiringfield Rd, with little fanfare and a few cans of spray paint, and promptly began serving some of the best Thai food available in Christchurch. The dishes are tasty and true... More

We loved the beautiful fresh food, it was REAL food! The seating area outside was basic and just what we . We loved the inventive use of a container and the resilience of the Chch folks in the face of great adversity. A top place to eat but get in early.

This is our local - we love it. The fresh spring rolls are awesome (and peanut free on request) and there are some innovative dishes on the menu. The Salmon Curry is fantastic. The service is super fast, and on a fine evening, the alfresco dining is a win. It can be a lucky dip though, in terms of the... More
