   This place was great, surprisingly! The Dandan noodles, in particular, were outstanding – served generously and at an affordable cheap price. I opted for the dry noodles, and the sauce, neither too salty nor too mild, was quite addictive. The thick noodles blended perfectly with the sauce, creating a delightful taste. As a fan of Chinese food, I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. The dumplings and 锅包肉 (guōbāoròu) (I wasn't sure its English name - it is sweet and sour pork crispy version) were also yummy and satisfying. Highly recommended to those who love Chinese food and in Browns Bay.

   It was recommended by a friend. Great service and lovely atmosphere. This restaurant is one of the best dining restaurants I’ve had in NZ. We ate Chef’s recommendations and enjoyed all our selections. The food tasted great. You can tell that the chef is very passionate about what he is doing. Food great, service great and environment is clean making the experience really special and really memorable.

   Amazing Sichuan style noodles and dumplings. Food was served with a generous portion and inexpensive price. Relatively low wait time as well if you are after quick Sichuan style lunch/dinner you can not go wrong with this place. Must try the beef noodle and chicken dumplings. Do be careful with the spiciness level because it was even mild was HOT.

   The Dandan Noodle is totally different from I had before for other places. I do want to question the authenticity. The portion are generous except for the cucumber salad. The smallest I ever had in Auckland. The noodles are kind of sticky.

   Best wonton noodle I have had, ever. The medium spice was perfect for me (other people might find it a little spicy). Very generous portion sizes. Only little niggle I feel they should have had some napkins on the table, instead of going back to the main counter to get them The staff are nice and friendly and not in your face which made the experience more enjoyable for me. Everything is clean and tidy. I will be back to try there dumplings

   Hands down favourite dumplings in the whole wide world has to be the pork and chive in spicy sauce. Their ‘hot’ is not to be underestimated, but even though it burns a little for me it’s well worth it. Dan dan noodles a nice accompaniment to the dumplings but not a must. Portion sizes are huge so always go for the Small if in doubt. Fell in love with the original Basu Lounge in Takapuna but I really rate their Browns Bay location more.

   We are regular customers and our orders are always consistent and generous for the price. Service is with a smile and cost very reasonable. The dumplings are huge and very tasty! The noodles are wonderful. Haven't tried the rice yet because we love the noodles and dumplings so much. The broth is very tasty. Highly recommended!
