Chinese restaurant in Auckland

“Full of mouth favourite. great special china Changsha Cuisines . Good level of serivce. Just a-bit salted side. Definitely need to match with rice . Recommended for people who love spicy and Chinese food”

“For a late lunch I tried the roast pork (not the usual bbq pork) wonton noodle soup. With 5 pork wontons and the roast pork it was a very filling lunch. The service was quick and friendly from the next generation of this family business. The matriarch still oversees the business with a friendly smile as you leave with a full stomach. It re-established itself in Epsom after the Mercury theatre food court closed for the new railway station. With easy access and parking close by, certainly be visiting more often now.”

“My family and I have been going there once a week recently. The food is delicious and I want to try every dish.”

“This restaurant serves tasty food that both my husband and I enjoyed. Hunan food is very spicy but they happily toned it back for my husband, who can't handle too much chilli. The menu is very porky but I don't like pork so we tried various other options instead. The smelly tofu entree was suitably pungent and came topped with hot chilli. It was too hot for my husband but just right for me so I hoovered it all up. We also had hot and sour pickled radish, dong 'an chicken and stir fried chicken. All were lovely. The owner was friendly and interested to know what we thought of the food given we were the only non Asian patrons. The only negative - and it's not a big deal - is that the owner was busy in the kitchen when we arrived and it took quite a while before she noticed us standing at the counter. But we didn't mind too much and would happily eat there again.”

“First time trying out this place and definitely will come back! Their cumin lamb noodles had amazing flavour and cooked perfectly. The highlight was the jelly noodles served in a delicious sauce. The staff was also very friendly! Highly recommend”

“One of my favorite restaurant in Albany. Always order Kung Pao Chicken and Yuxiang Pork.”

“Love the steam rice. Mushroom chicken is smooth and taste like home. All customers were welcome with awesome warm Chinese tea. Almost every other table ordered Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaves, must come and try next time”

“Bestest Chinese food ever. Chicken fried rice very very spicy and 4 nibbles is my all time favourite order here. Wish I could live close by. Whenever I visit north shore, this is must visit place”

“Quite huge portion of food. Very friendly customer service. Good taste and highly recommended!”

“I came here like 20 years ago and I am so surprised it still here! I lived in Hastings now and their food still as good as last time! Good customer service and still pretty cheap price compared to Hamilton yum char price!”

“As a customer who has dined at this Korean-Chinese restaurant more than 20 times, I can confidently say it’s a great choice when you’re unsure what to eat. My top recommendation is the “Number Nine”Spicy Seafood Noodles(Samseon Jjamppong). It’s mildly spicy, nutritious, and packed with a variety of fresh seafood like scallops, oysters, squid, and prawns, along with veggies such as carrots, greens, onions, and zucchini. The seafood soup is delicious with a slight garlic taste. The Stir-fried Glass Noodles and Veggies(Japchae) are another favorite. They’re delicious and the texture of glass noodles is silky, though they can be a bit oily for me. Lastly, the Veggie & seafood salad, green bean starch, mustard sauce on side(Yangjangpi) is colorful and appetizing, with a great combination of fresh vegetables and stir-fried meat, perfectly complemented by a mustard sauce that enhances the overall taste. The only drawback is that it gets very busy on weekends, so you might not find a seat and could end up waiting over 30 minutes for a bowl of noodles during peak times. The restaurant is conveniently located across from a Woolworths and a parking lot, so parking isn’t an issue. For public transport, Bus 25 is a convenient option.”

“Best roast duck in auckland. I've looked. First takeaways ordered out of L4, no regrets ❤”

“Run by a friendly older couple, food is freshly made in store”

“Always get combo E very good food”

“Spacious restaurant with plenty of parking. Good dim sum place with reasonable price. However, please be mindful that if they are busy, your dining time is only 90mins and no matter you still want to order more or not they will tell you time is up.”

“As soon as I walked into the restaurant, it felt like I had stepped into another country. The food was delicious, and the overall service was very satisfying. I think I’ll be coming back again.”

“My friends and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant. We went in to celebrate my birthday, and the staff made the night truly special. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and they surprised me with several thoughtful extras throughout our visit, which I really appreciated. The food was exceptional, everything tasted amazing, and our order arrived surprisingly fast. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“Nice foods , Good service, good staffs and cheaper price .good for hire for brithday party and other functions.”

“Here for the second time and I have to say the food is outstanding and the service exceptional. They go the extra mile. Very warm reception, owners, staff. Will be back again and again!”

“Thank you for a very tasty meal, everyone was very happy with their meal. Makes for a good evening. Thank you Friends Restaurant.”

On the plate at Guest House Restaurant, the idea is simple, bistro‑style and well judged. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. A sensible spend for the spread. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down.

“Super yummy dim sum I got from here. Owner was nice also”

“Very busy restaurant. Had lovely dinner there. Nice business owner. Food was pretty good.”

“Food here is delicious, locally sourced ingredients. Friendly service with an authentic menu. Suitable to large groups, private rooms available and plenty of free parking.”

“Thought we would thus place out as it is close to where we are staying. So very pleased we did! Food was phenomenal, we loved every dish. The owner Albert was incredibly friendly and helpful with great suggestions. This man knows his stuff. Really impressed. Will be back next time we are in Auckland.”

“What a coincidence This place has just opened today after new year/christmas holiday Various Chinese cuisine provided I saved the menu for everybody, check out the photos I think it's the only Chinese cuisine at the vicinity When I was there, i'm the last customer The staff is nice, the food is also nice as well”

“Went for lunch. Was a bit skeptical because the place looked old and cluttered but when the food came out it was large portions and we had lots of leftovers enough for another meal out of it. The owners wife came to chat with us and we had a great meal time. 5 Stars for me. Authentic Chinese food. Will definitely visit again ☺️”
