May's Thai - Governors Bay

Well we love Thai and decided to give May's a go. I'm by no means a Thai novice. I've been to Thailand a few times. I have Thai friends over there that I've eaten out with so my expectations were not high. <br/ <br/ So we ordered takeaway (didn't have a menu, so called in to get the lay of the land). Lady that answered the phone was very pleasant...asked the type of thing that I wanted (curry) and then went onto explain what was on offer. My order: Yellow curry (Thai hot) and Pad Thai (duck and pork). Then went onto order starters (spring rolls and won tons).<br/ <br/ Picked up the order (very well packaged brown paper bag which we couldnt wait to open). Once home I'mwere so impressed by the presentation and the smells were pretty good too.<br/ <br/ Our opinion: Curry pretty good. Nothing out of this world but enjoyable. The Pad Thai is OUTSTANDING. Best you'll get in Christchurch (arguably what I've tried in Thailand). The starters were lovely although wontons could do with more filling and expect them to be quite sweet.<br/ <br/ Ours were takeaways so I'm going back there to experience May's piping hot and restuarant style. I have to personally give this place my gold star of Thai Chrithurch food I can't recommend this enough. All in all it was approx. $57 of dinner goodness. Well worth it and then some we thought...

We got a takeaway from Mays after a friend recommended the place. We arrived just on closing so decided to take away. I ordered Crispy Pork and Crispy Duck Pad Thai and it was absolutely superb. The pork was tender with crispy crackling,and the Duck was lovely,in large pieces. The pad thai sauce was one of the best I have tasted. Would definitely dine here again!

A very good suburban Thai restaurant perfect for a last minute evening meal decision when the takeaway menus come out of the kitchen cupboard. Very good food and a varied menu, including their own signature dishes. Although the dishes are a very high quality, I haven 't been 'wowed ' yet (eg: like the pineapple rice at Zab Thai) but I will definitely work my way through their menu and see what if that x factor dish is there. Happy to recommend to others and I will be back for more.

Very good food, very good service, very good value for money.I have been 4-6 times now and each time is thoroughly enjoyable. The place may be small, but has a big heart. Going tonight again in about an hour. .

I absolutely love May's Thai. I am a Burnside local and enjoy their food regularly. All of their curries are amazing and they make them with fresh ingredients and real heat. The meat is always high quality and cooked perfectly. The chef's choose flavorful seasonal combinations of vegetables to complement your chosen meat if you're ordering a curry. The green curry has to be  my favorite but I highly recommend trying the red the yellow and also the spicy duck curries. Staff are friendly professional and consistent and the ambiance is very inviting and also quite refreshing for the area.
