Went with a group of 30ish. has banquette style dinner as we were a big group this is always a good option. The food was great, a good selection of food and plenty of it. Often with banquettes you miss out on what you wanted or don't get enough, the selection was fantastic and a range of spice ratings from mild to medium, there was ample food for everyone. Good function room. 

Tusk has a wonderful intimate atmosphere and by far the best Thai food I have had. When I lived around the corner it was my weekly treat to go out to Tusk for dinner =). I highly recommend dining here and definitely try the Pad Thai it is divine!

My partner and I had a 3 course meal voucher . I was quite surprised with the amount of food we were served. We had so much food between the two of us we had to save our dessert for home.  Overall the flavors were good.....but I felt that there was definitely room for improvement.  

That’s what they serve and that’s what they know. Authentic thai cuisine. Usually parking round the corner. Banquets are good value too.

Just had a return visit to Tusk.  I think may have have over sold themselves with 'groupy' vouchers  as there was something lacking in todays visit.  Food was tasty but when served on cold plates looses heat quite quickly.  We eat in the back room on folding chairs which were not that comfortable and I swapped my chair for one a bit more comfortable. Food was yummy whilst hot and was good value if you had a groupy voucher.  The vouchers are a great way to avoid cooking on a Saturday night

Established in 1997, Tusk has earned an enviable reputation as one of Auckland’s leading Thai restaurants, serving fine Thai cuisine in contemporary and stylish surroundings.  Tusk encapsulates the unique qualities of Thailand, presenting outstanding cuisine which boldly brings together the traditions of the past with today’s new dining era. Tusk offers its diners the very best in hospitality, with a superb menu and an extensive wine selection. Tusk is conveniently located at the intersection of Balmoral and Dominion Roads, just a short drive from the city, with plenty of off-street parking nearby. Tusk restaurant seats 120 people, and is perfect for both small and large groups, featuring a private conservatory dining area (seating 35 people), ideal for those special occasions.

Tusk Thai is great for family special occassions. Have been to a few birthdays here and it always go down a treat. We often order the Banquet menu which is great value for money. Make sure you order the Flaming Chicken as it's a entertaining sight and tastes great too. Just watch out if you have long hair! I once saw a woman's hair catching the flame by accident. 

TUSK has been a longtime family favourite for when we're in the mood for Thai takeaways. The dishes are uniformly well done and the menu has plenty of variety. Make a point of trying their noodle dishes!

Went to a birthday party here.. excellent surroundings & service.  Food delivery was a real show.. highly recommend the flaming chicken for a dramatic foody entrance. Good tastes, good times, good Thai.
