Siamese Doll is a Thai-Japanese fusion restaurant at 3 Boundary Road in Hobsonville Point, on Auckland's north-western edge. It sits in a former air force armoury beside the historic Sunderland hangar, part of the revamped Hobsonville Point dining strip, in an area with a notable place in New Zealand aviation history.
The kitchen draws on Thai and Japanese influences, balancing sweet, sour, spicy and bitter flavours. Guests can order small bites or a fuller meal, and the restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner. Dishes mentioned in published reviews include curries (such as a red duck curry and a lamb shank massaman), chicken satay skewers and dumplings, alongside cocktails and mocktails.
Siamese Doll is run by Quality Restaurant Group, whose other restaurants include Grasshopper, Thai Street, Mai Thai and Red Crab. The group's founders arrived in New Zealand in the mid-1980s and opened Mai Thai in 1988.
The venue is listed as suitable for big groups, dates and families, with a share-style menu and reservations by phone or online. No private dining room or capacity figures are published, so group size and any exclusive-use options should be confirmed directly with the restaurant.
A good option for relaxed group dining and team lunches or dinners on the north-west side of Auckland, with an interesting heritage setting.
