“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience at Area 51 - Auckland Adventure Park Our recent visit to Area 51 at Auckland Adventure Park was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Check-in was seamless, and the staff efficiently sorted out our wristbands. We appreciated that each type of pass was color-coded, making it easy to differentiate between different activities—such a thoughtful and organized system! The food at the reception was surprisingly good and well-priced. There was a great selection for both adults and kids. We especially loved the kids’ meal options, which came with drinks—perfect for families looking to grab a quick bite before heading off for more adventure. It wasn’t just about convenience; the food was delicious too! From the reception, you can either head down to the lower part of the park, where there’s a fun kids’ playground, or make your way up to the bus stop for the ride up the hill. The Mitsubishi Rosa bus ride was comfortable, offering a scenic route to the upper part of the park. Up there, the real adventure begins—luge rides, the exhilarating zip line, and the thrilling Shooting Star! One thing that stood out to us was the atmosphere. Right outside the reception, there’s a luge car on display along with a price list for each of the activities, which really adds to the excitement and anticipation. Plus, there’s a huge screen showcasing all the activities the park offers. It’s a clever way to get everyone hyped up and makes it easy to plan your day. The park is well-organized, clean, and full of fun activities for everyone. Whether you’re with family or friends, there’s something for every age group. We’ll definitely be returning, and we highly recommend Area 51 at Auckland Adventure Park to anyone looking for a thrilling adventure!”

“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!”

“First time visitor. We ventured over to Devonport for brunch. Made our choice to try Manuka. I had the rost with smoked salmon and small flat white. The rosti with salmon, poached egg was wonderful. Being from Wellington I sort of smiled when I was asked if I wanted my coffee with a double shot, this is a given in Wellington. Coffee was great. Service professional but friendly.”

“When I had ordered my pizza from this lovely restaurant, my pizza had came nice and fresh. It was nice and steamy but the best part was eating it. The ingredients had a very pungent smell that was amazing! I would recommend this beautiful restaurant to any people trying to find a good place to eat.”

“I visited the restaurant on Chinese New Year's Eve and I have to say, the staff are doing an incredible job. Normally, on CNY Eve, most restaurants have 2 sessions at 5pm and 7pm with set menus and packed spaces. However, the food and cleanliness were still well managed. I will definitely be returning to this place.”

“We ordered the Polo E Funghi which is a creamy chicken and mushroom fettuccine pasta, A half in half hot & spicy and the lot pizza, and 2 desserts; the lava cake and the apple crumble. All there food was delicious and we will be coming again.”

“The loveliest experience. Very nice staff and the food is delicious. $7 happy hour (5-7.30pm) beers and $12 cocktails too! I think it may be newer owners as the food is Indian and Pizza now which seems different to earlier reviews. They were also more than happy to make us a vegan meal. A must do if coming to Spark Arena. Well definitely be back”

“Katsubi Rosedale has started selling beautiful and delicious baked goods - including scones, cakes, cookies, and more! Everything looks amazing and tastes even better. I highly recommend trying some of their fresh bakes when you visit. It’s also a great spot to enjoy a coffee with a cupcake or treat on the side. Don’t miss it!”

“New launched 3 dished lunch is so yummmm and very good price ❤️❤️”

“Great service and delicious food. The layout is confusing and causes congestion as those wishing to pay block the entrance. It was quite busy when we went and the gentleman at front of house, seated us, took our order, delivered our meal and cleared the table. He did this both indoor and outdoor. It seemed he was doing the work of at least 3 people.”

“I’ve been going there since 2010. Never had any problems with my food. Always loved their sirloin steak with salad and chips. You get the best meal for a good affordable price.”

“Authentic Cantonese style Yum Cha ! The dim sum is the best that I had in Auckland so far !”

“Haven't been here in years was super impressed with everything. Love the layout & different themes for each seated area, such a great idea to uncorporate a Library never seen that in a restaurant before, it adds a lovely homely feel, my favourite would have to be the Whiskey Lounge, the decor makes you feel you've stepped back in time. Food was fantastic had the classic kiwi steak meal cooked to perfection & our host MJ, what a delightful, courteous human. She certainly knows that menu inside out, very precise, certainly don't get fabulous service like that anymore, thank you MJ. Had a very enjoyable & memorable evening, definitely recommend coming here.”

“Delicious dishes especially some from local Dalian eg 三鲜焖子，stir fry cabbage, lamb, wasabi prawns, etc all very yummy. Being there a few times and still want to go.”

“This is a very nice restaurant to go too, the food was definitely top self, every course was served in time warm and well seasoned. We were well looked after by such welcoming amd friendly staf. We will definitely be coming back and with company.”

“Did a takeaway for the first time. Ordered online. Good chicken fried rice, fish fillet in Maggie sauce great. And sauteed vegetables ok. Will definitely go for a sit down dinner.”

“Huge thanks to Nigel and his team for ensuring out Big BNI Secret Santa Breakfast was a success. From sharing their expert advice re organising the event for 80 peeps to accommodating the Christmas activities we wanted. The restaurant looked amazing, food was delicious, dietary requirements catered for, and great service - made us very welcome. Thanks Nigel, see you next year. Mariska”

“Had lunch here and it was very nice to sit in at a restaurant with exceptional service and great food! The portions were also generous, will definitely be back again.”

“I ordered bibimbap as a healthy meal. The combination of fresh vegetables, just like the ones I had in Korea, was well-balanced and neatly presented. The bulgogi was served separately, allowing me to fully enjoy its own flavor, which made the dining experience more enjoyable and enhanced my appetite. I would love to visit again.”

“Have not been to a Lone Star in ages. I feel it is the more expensive version of cobb and co. However, food and service was really good and loved the banoffee pie.”

“The best place for breakfast & lunch on Waiheke Island! Lovely spot with few seats outside, offering stellar breakfasts with REAL french patisserie goods (only place we got a like-in-Paris croissant in weeks...), as well as yummy sandwiches & burgers around lunchtime. Prices significantly lower than rest of the island while the food is better here. We came back twice during our three day-stay on the island!”

“Really tasty food, well balanced flavours. Love the ratio of meat, rice and salad. My partner doesn't eat salad so I happily had his share. So glad they had a pop up at Smales Farm but wished they could stay longer. The spaghetti and chicken was tasty too! Highly recommend the adobo, lechon and inasal.”

“I lived across the road for about 8 months and frequently visited Vero Cafe. I can honestly say it's my favourite Cafe in Auckland! The owners are very friendly and the food is fantastic. Sitting outside in the sun and enjoying their delicious all-day breakfast and great coffee was the highlight of my day.”

“Stunning experience, not only the food is outstanding, great service. Large offre of wines by the glass and even more by the bottle - mostly organic, biodynamic and natural wines. Totally recommend the experience!”

“After reading and hearing all the amazing feedback from the local community, I had to try a Burger and Chips. The Chicken Burger was Huge and full of Real ingredients, I went with the Chicken Aloha Burger. The seasoning was perfect, the flavor combinations with bacon and pineapple were exciting and filling! *Real Chicken lovely and Tender, the salad components all fresh and crispy. I couldn't finish all the chips myself, the aoli sauce just topped it all off well. Highly Recommend!! If your passing through Hellensville, pop in and try one of their meals. Delicious and Fresh !!”

“It’s so rare to find a restaurant that gets it right in Auckland these days. Enjoy great food, great wine and excellent service - fantastic thank you guys!”

“A hidden gem that serves up some fantastic ramen and other dishes. Went here with my fiancée to grab some ramen and katsu after a long day of adventures and hikes. They are in a rather odd location, a warehouse district with no discerning signs of a restaurant in the heart of it. However if you have the drive it has definitely worth a stop. Staff is super friendly and dishes come out piping hot. Would just mention that there isn’t a ton of seating inside and outside so larger parties may run into some obstacles there. However a more intimate dinner date is easy.”
