Grocery store in Auckland

“Staff are personable and appear happy at work. Store is very clean and has great variety of basic and gourmet food. Bakery eclipses the best cafes in town. Possibly the best supermarket in AKL”

“I have just ordered some biscuits from this shop through doordash, I have to say Charlotte from your shop is providing outstanding customer service”

“Beautiful fresh fruit and vegetables. Well presented shop. Great customer service - friendly and welcoming. Plus they kindly helped me take my bags to the car because I had a toddler in tow.”

“An experience that’s more than just food. After years, I have finally tried their food! I went on a lunch time and there was only two other people. Good timing because I was already really hungry. He’s a one man show so make sure to allow time when visiting him. He makes sure every dish is fresh so it will really take time, but he dishes them out one by one, so you get small bites in between before the main meal. He is such a lovely man and he took his time to talk to us and welcomed us. His dishes are definitely authentic! Full of flavours despite of it being light- it won’t make you get sick of it. The broth of the ramen was divine! The takoyaki was crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside. It was flavourful on its own, no need a lot of sauce! The yakitori was super yummy. He gave us the takoyaki for free which we highly appreciated. The interior and decorations is obviously antique and don’t expect it to be as of modern restaurant style, it’s feels more intimate like you’re at your grandparents house and they’ll cook you a hearty meal. That’s the vibe the place gave. It is such a gem of Pukekohe. If you plan to go here for dinner, make sure you have a reservation. It gets full quite quickly which made it impossible for us before hence why we tried on a weekday at lunch time. You won’t regret coming here! This is what Japanese cuisine is!”

“Excellent online service and shipping of this sought after product. Would buy from them again.”

“Great selection of Japanese foods and products! I bought some green tea, desserts and frozen items, everything was absolutely delicious. It really feels like being in Japan .”

“Love this store. Clean, tidy with friendly helpful, knowledgable staff.”

“Wait time is fairly ok. Lovely staff. Like the fact I can shop then come back to collect our prescriptions”

“I recently moved into the neighbourhood and decided to explore the bakery section. They have delicious pastries, ranging from savoury to sweet, and I even bought a cake for my dad's birthday. I wasn't expecting much, but it really exceeded my expectations! The staff are lovely and very helpful, plus there's plenty of parking available.”

“The staff who work here are so helpful and friendly! There’s a closer liquor store to home but we always go here because of the service and range of product.”

“This place is awesome . Has some many choices and they bring in things not sold in nz :) definitely get in there when you can . The owners - workers are fabulous also”

“Wonderful service!! Awesome indian gentleman works at the front!! will visit again! :) Cheers!”

“Clean tidy shop.a credit to its owners and workers”

“Fantastic place. I wanted a very specific beer (Houble Dazy Double Hazy IPA by Brother's Beer) which had been out of stock and the Manager was nice enough to contact the brewery for me so I could have a box just to myself. Great service and selection.”

“staff is accomodating and has good recommendations with the products”

“I visited this store on Friday 29 October, first time visiting any XVAPE store. The two guys working were friendly and upbeat and helped me to choose a flavour as they don’t stock my usual brands. To be honest the vape juice is okay but wouldn’t rush back to buy again. However I would be interested in shopping with XVAPE again as the service was nice and looks like a good shop setup”

“Ginger crunch is on, perfect ratio of ginger to oats, not too sweet. Good to wash down with coffee and a great view. :)”

“Mighty ape you’ve done it again!! I ordered a year back when I discovered your business and had a pleasant experience. I don’t need to buy much but decided to order through you for some Christmas shopping. I had a delightful experience. I opted to collect my items and didn’t have to wait any longer than a minute!!! I was blown away by the efficiency. The girl whom I spoke to, I believe her name was Sadie, was very kind and we shared a laugh. All the workers roaming around were very welcoming and respectful. Amazing business you’ve got here. I will definitely purchase some more for end of year sales. Thank you mighty ape .”

“Got 2 vape pods and was blown away with amazing customer service!!!”

“Very friendly guy. Love this store always have what you need”

“Best alcohol shop on the coast great staff and friendly as.”

“Best fruits and veggies market in town, extremely reasonable prices, for about $50 you can get 2xweeks stuff. Crowded always so better avoid peak hours 9 am to 11 am. The good part is they have plenty of parking only for $3 but just need to patiently wait for the queue. Gotta carry shopping bags. If you are going around the closing time, you would still have plenty of stuff available. Very kind and helpfull vendors.”

“Great selection, sharp prices and very friendly staff. What more do you need :-)”

“It's a lot bigger than it looks like from the outside. The grill in front of the door makes it look like it's shut, but it is actually open. It has a big meat selection at very reasonable prices. Alongside the meat fridges you'll find very cheap and fresh veggies. I bought some beautiful crunchy capsicums for only 70c and a whole bag of eggplants for just $5. Beyond that are some pantry and freezer items. It's a big selection of interesting and different Asian products. It's well worth a visit!”

“Handy shop stocked with pretty well most everything. Lovely Indian owners. Lotto onsite. Carparking right outside. Train Station across the road, public Conveniences also on roadside.”

“Awesome store great variety of products friendly and knowledgeable staff and very helpful while I was browsing the store”

“Always friendly service and good prices. I shop there twice a week. Good stock levels!”
