Chinese restaurant in Auckland

“I had dinner here tonight and was blown away by the food. Everything was full of flavor and beautifully prepared, but the dumplings stood out as some of the best I’ve ever had – soft, perfectly cooked, and packed with taste. The service was friendly, the atmosphere warm, and the menu offered plenty of authentic options. Highly recommended – a must-visit if you enjoy great Chinese cuisine!”

“This place is our usual go-to restaurant. The food is always delicious and well-presented. Their signature dish, Samsun Jjamppong, is a must-try. It’s not too spicy and is full of flavor. The staff is friendly and kind.”

“This Thai restaurant is right near my home, and I can't believe I had never tried it before! I decided to give it a shot over the weekend and was surprised to find it quite busy. I ordered a **Prawn Nasi Goreng**—the portion was huge, and the rice was packed tightly into the bowl. It was super fragrant! I also got the **Crispy Pork Belly**—the pieces were large, and the sauce mixed with the fried rice was incredibly delicious. Finally, I ordered a snack: **Satay Skewers**—chicken skewers coated in rich satay peanut sauce, absolutely amazing! The restaurant even offers a **keto menu**, so it's great for those on a diet or into fitness. I'll definitely be going back again!”

“Had such a lovely experience dining here. If you’re craving classic Taiwanese dishes, this is the best by far, in Akl. The stinky tofu was similar to the night market offerings in TW. Other classics we tried were beef noodle soup, 3 cup chicken, pork braised noodles etc. Delicious! Service is great too. Will be coming back again!”

“Massive servings with great quality food! Really happy will be a repeat customer”

“Tasty food and super friendly service with generous portions”

“Every dish was divine. The menu is super vegetarian and vegan friendly and the staff are welcoming.”

“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.”

“Friendly service and outstanding value. The portions were huge and freshly cooked. Everything tasted great. Lovely stuff!”

“Incredible value and huge portions! The food is delicious and there's plenty of options. The free soup counter is an extra bonus. I wish I lived nearby and could come eat here all the time! The sticky rice stuffed sausage was a bit sweet for my tastes, but the portions were still great. They don't offer stinky tofu as an individual dish- it's only included in hotpot orders. Parking is a bit difficult during peak meal hours. Excellent, excellent value!”

“Delicious Satay lamb stir fry noodles $22. Excellent customer service. Prodominately Chinese themed menu and restaurant. Large portions, delicious hot temperature food.”

“I rate this as the best Chinese takeaways I’ve ever tasted. The sweet and sour pork as well as the chow mein are my favorite dishes. Their service is excellent and they operated safely through Covid lockdown. I hope they become available on Uber Eats one day.”

“I have tried chicken, steak and bacon and egg burger here. They are cheap (7-9$), and tastes all right. Takes about 10-15 minutes to cook. Their chicken fried rice is average, fried chicken is all right but bit too oily”

“This Auckland spot has some amazing Chinese food! The rice noodle rolls are so chewy and the sauce is delicious. I'll definitely be coming back to try the other flavors. And let me tell you, the polo bun and egg tarts were a hit - they disappeared in no time! I also grabbed some frozen BBQ pork buns to take home - there are so many savory and sweet flavors to choose from. Plus, the restaurant has plenty of parking, it's clean and the staff are super friendly.”

Pine Harbour Eatery leans into a simple, bistro‑style approach with tidy execution. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go. Serve sizes show solid value.

“WOW WOW WOW... Highly recommend Captain Chicken to anyone after a delicious bite to eat. Photo is of the CCT Super Burger, top notch & super tasty. 10/10”

“The chicken curry is simply the best. Add plenty of chili oil and youre sorted. Give it a go.”

“I came here with a couple friends cuz they recommended it to me. I tried their black bean sauce noodle with seafood! Soo good! Such a hidden gem tucked away in front of the library. Most people would definitely pass by without knowing this place exists. Definitely give it a try! Great service and vibe as well!”

“First time trying Kongs Kitchen! We ordered a wonton noodle soup and duck on rice. Wow. Everything was beautiful! So affordable and delicious! Wonton noodle soup: the best in Onehunga. Period. Broth is clear as it should be and tastes like something that will heal your soul. Slightly peppery and full of depth. The wontons were delicious! Very fresh porky flavour and the noodles were super bouncy and chewy, not soggy at all!!! Duck on rice: absolutely delicious. Duck was served with white rice, cabbage and drizzled over with a beautiful sauce. I wish I had taken a photo before I ate but i literally inhaled the food as soon as it arrived My new fave spot! I wish I knew about this spot earlier!!”

“10/10 food and service. Can speak English and chinese very fluently. Don't let the amount of Chinese spoken here bother you. Any western people are more than welcome to eat here. Food felt incredibly healthy with the way they cook food here. Service was superb. The atmosphere can get a bit noisy but that depends on the customers. Other than that 10/10 place would recommend for anyone to visit. And price is reasonable.”

“If you're looking for a good takeaway place, look no further because this place is simply the best. Delicious food with a wide range of options. Every dollar spent is always worth it.”

“Have come here for a while now with my siblings - Great spot and perfect for classic takeaway. Never written a review before but the cashier I think Tiff is great. Friendly and positive attitude something I don’t see much in restaurants anymore! Made my night.”

“The dishes were not only served promptly but also displayed exceptional taste, reflecting the restaurant's culinary excellence. Moreover, the reasonable prices add to the overall appeal, making it a great choice for those looking for both speed and quality in their dining experience.”

“$1/nibble, tastes better than KFC”

“Delicious, authentic, inexpensive, friendly, and clean. Must try. My go to restaurant.”

“This place is take out only and has been in the area for over a decade! Cute little mom and pop shop. Fast service and the food comes out so crispy each time! I typically get their fish and chips because of how thin and crispy the fish is!”

“Best potato fritters by far. Standard scoop of chips was a good serve and delicious crunchy chips. Look forward to trying the fish and Chinese menu also.”

“A wonderfully friendly restaurant with amazing yam char menu. We arrived early as we heard the place can fill up quickly and it did. Service was great. The food came out warm and fresh.”

“A generous serving of delicious food! We had a roast meal each (pork, beef, lamb) that was tender, tasty, and not too salty. Allergy information was posted by the counter, which is very helpful. Fast and friendly service.”

“After a pretty long time our family went out for lunch. We loved their friendly approach and service . My daughter loved wedges and dips. I just loved the fish with considerable seasoning and crispy hot fries with peri peri. After an ages we enjoyed and had tasty food. Planning to visit very soon.”
