Loved our lunch here. Started with the Gin Flight which was a great experience on its own, but the gin also paired with the Thai food perfectly. We has the Tiger Prawn Wantons and Squid Tentacles from the starter menu, and the Beef egg noodles and Pork Belly Pad Thai mains. All dishes were beautifully presented and very tasty. Service was very friendly and topped off with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine to celebrate our anniversary. Couldn't ask for anything better. Highly recommend the Tohi Gin Tasting Room!

We sought this place out for quality Asian cuisine in the area and were not disappointed! We were in Martinborough for our anniversary and were really touched to be welcomed with complimentary glasses of prosecco on arrival. Our waiter was fantastic, very friendly and helpful, especially with advice on taxis after we realised the last bus out left before 5:00pm! The menu is well priced, all the mains are $28. I ordered the green chicken curry and appreciated that it used chicken breast rather than thigh, along with a good amount of vegetables. My partner had the duck curry and really enjoyed it, had a generous portion of duck. The interior is beautiful and feels premium while still being at an accessible price point. The soft pink accents added a nice touch. We were very glad we booked as every table was either occupied or reserved. Overall, a great dining experience with thoughtful service, quality food, and a welcoming atmosphere.

I had a really nice early dinner here. The service was spectacular and the food was full of flavor. The gin tasting was a first for me and I appreciated how the host/manager patiently and passionately walked me through their Tohi Gin line-up. The green coconut curry was fantastic as was the squid. A nice change up from the winery fare. Cool spot too - loved the decor and design.

Outstanding Thai food in this cute little restaurant. Fabulous old world atmosphere in this cute little town. The service was amazing. Very friendly. The green curry was the standout. Absolutely delicious including the vegetarian spring rolls. I definitely recommend a visit here.

After reading the reviews this sounded great. We were wined out so skipped the Gin and just had the Thai food. Really tasty. The pork belly entree was standout. Crispy, plenty of meat and delicious flavour. Prawns good. The 2 mains we picked were the chicken curry which had beautiful tender chicken pieces and the sauce had a lovely balance of flavours that was spot on. We also had the duck curry which was delicious too with a nice hint of heat and good flavour which rounded out the meal beautifully. Highly recommend. We were a bit slow on taking the photo of the entree but there was still some left oops. Really good service. Friendly and helpful with recommendation. Food came out promptly with enough time btw entree and main to not feel rushed or waiting around
