The meal was so good that we felt like eating at home, in Thailand. The atmosphere and the decoration were also very interesting. Good service.

Yum, yum, yum bloody yum! Superb kai and excellent service. Super flavoursome and bursting with modern synergy. We’ll be back for sure. Definitely put this one on your dinner list. Cheers team!

As always, the food and service was great. Staff are friendly and go the extra mile to ensure you enjoy your evening.

A great night celebrating my birthday at Blue Kanu. The food and drinks were amazing, the set menu was perfect for our big group and plenty of food that everyone loved. Staff were fantastic and looked after us. We will definitley be back when we...return to Queenstown.More

We ordered 6 sharing plates btw the 2 of us and that was the perfect amount of food for dinner and also meant it was cost effective. Awesome interior decor and great service complemented the excellent food.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful birthday surprise you arranged for my husband. He was genuinely surprised and touched by the thoughtful gesture. The decorations and ambiance were perfect for the occasion. Moreover, the food was exceptional! We thoroughly enjoyed every...dish we ordered. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was top-notch. Your chef truly knows how to create a delightful culinary experience. Thank you once again for making my husband's birthday so special. We had a fantastic time at your restaurant and will cherish the memories for years to come. We'll definitely be back soon! Best regards, JayasreeMore

The staff here were great. They were onto your every need and were super happy and friendly. The food was really good too. The menu is split into smaller plates and bigger plates. We picked a couple of the bigger plates and were not disappointed....The mi goreng was incredible. Great restaurant with awesome decor and vibes. Recommend checking it out.More

This is a nice place that was busy and we needed to book ahead. The share plates weren’t big we had 4 between the two of us, one boa bun isn’t a share plate in my opinion. Service was friendly however we are still waiting...for two glasses of lemonade.More

We had a lovely meal here. We went for three small plates, one big plate and a side of rice between two of us and that seemed a good amount. Food was very fresh with some great flavours. Service was good too.

We went here for our last dinner in Queenstown hoping to put the cherry on top. Unfortunately this restaurant just wasn’t it. The restaurant itself was lovely, cosy, comfortable and modern but the food was abit lacking. Our entrees weren’t very exciting. Prawns, calamari and...pork ribs. The mains were much nicer however didn’t warrant the price for the amount we received. Would I eat here again, yes probably. But I’d stick to the mains.More

This restaurant never fails to deliver the most fabulous experience from delicious food cocktail, to taste sensations , friendly staff and warm atmosphere.

This place has a lovely atmosphere with fantastic staff and tasty food. I would highly recommend it.

The food was absolutely amazing! Service and the cocktails were equally as good and the atmosphere was perfect for dinner.

We had booked Blue Kanu after reading all the great reviews and it had also been recommended. After having dinner there, we were absolutely perplexed as to why this restaurant is so well rated. The food is ok but nothing exceptional. The ambiance is tiki-tacky...decor with blaring loud music. But the tone of our evening was set by the completely indifferent, bordering on rude service we received. On our visit to Queenstown, we received lovely, friendly service from every single person in every other restaurant and these were all from non-NZ staff. And then the one and only time we got a New Zealand wait person, the service was just appalling. He came to the table and poured us water without making any eye contact, without making a greeting, or saying a single word. And there wasn't much improvement after that bad start. We weren't wanting him to be our chatty best friend but a certain basic level of civility in the 'service' would have been appreciated. In actual fact, the food was fine- just nothing amazing - and we had more pleasant interactions with other staff there. But I would definitely not recommend Blue Kanu - there are plenty of other better restaurants in Queenstown with better food and where the arrogant staff won't leave a sour taste in your mouth.More

Blue Kanu is a warm and inviting restaurant, with subtle lighting and cosy atmosphere. Our family of six ordered a selection of sharing plates, Calamari, Steamed dumplings, Golden Prawns and Korean Fried Chicken, everything was delicious, we had to ordered an extra Korean Chicken for...our grandson, who said it was the best chicken he’s ever had. My coeliac (GF) husband was welcomed with a menu that was highlighted with suggestions and he chose the Steamed Marari Fish and was very happy with his meal. The Huli Huli Roast Chicken and Lamb Curry were also enjoyed. I can highly recommend Blue Kanu for delicious and fresh uniquely flavoured food. I also loved my cocktail 'Ginger Colada' too.More
