Restaurant in Auckland

“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!”

“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.”

“Amazing cultural food from North India an experience we all can try at least once in a lifetime kind and friendly staff give it a taste Whanau.”

“Connie and I came for two nights and accidentally stayed for the vibes. Somehow won a ridiculous amount of Jack Daniel’s merch (pretty sure we’re sponsored now), met absolute legends of locals, and were made to feel welcome from minute one. Food was genuinely great. Drinks flowed. The banter, however… truly terrible. World-class hospitality, bottom-tier jokes, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Left with full stomachs, new friends, and more Jack Daniel’s branding than anyone should admit to. Would 100% return.”

“Awesome food and staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely a recommended restaurant. Love the sea-facing great atmosphere too! Highly recommended the grill prawns :)”

“I like this concept of choosing your own meat, vegetables, sauces, spices, etc, and having it cooked on the big hot plate. It's pretty easy to navigate, even if it is trial and error with the combination you've made up. Separate hot food is available as are salads and other side dishes. Dessert is great, they make really good pancakes, with different sweet sauces to accompany and an assortment of ice creams and toppings. The lady serving was very accommodating and friendly. The buffet dinner was $33.90 per adult. Enjoyed our dinner here in the relaxed atmosphere and would definitely recommend Gengis Khan New Lynn.”

“If u are a curry lover this is the restaurant to be at JULEEZ KITCHEN. The curry flavours are distinctively different and tasty. Their indo Chinese dishes are amazing.. The curry masala is never disappointing..”

“We ordered the popular choices for this restaurant. Delicious and enough to fill my stomach. I like this restaurant and will come back next time. Forget to take a photo.”

“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”

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at Chaska in Otahuhu, and the experience was truly delightful. The food was exceptional, with standout dishes including the Chole Bhature, Paneer Parantha, and Bread Pakora. The Lassi and Chai were the perfect accompaniments, adding a refreshing touch to our meal. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who ensured we felt welcome throughout our visit. If you're craving authentic Punjabi cuisine, look no further than Chaska. We highly recommend it and can't wait to go back!”

“Food selection not that much but it’s all delicious and big portion. Their scallop wrap in bacon is a must try dish! Tried their weekly special seafood medley and they are really generous with the seafood as well. Overall very good experience, would definitely go again.”

“A hidden gem. Authentic delicious Japanese food. Excellent service ❤️”

“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.”

“The Sarawak kolo mee was spot on like home. Freshly made noodle in their kitchen. Perfect to my taste and the best in Auckland. Well done! Will be back for more.”

“From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely exceptional, with each dish bursting with fresh flavors and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and friendly, making our evening truly memorable also all staff nature is awesome. Thanks for brilliant services.”

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

“This place serves very affordable and very delicious food. I come back almost daily. It's very good. Excellent. Let the food do the talking.”

“me and my wife dined in today. met the chef who happens to be the owner also. she's friendly & very accomodating. we ordered mixed appetizer, pla neong buay (steamed whole snapper) and pad thai. food were delicious. great service. highly recommended. authentic thai food.”

“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!”

“Great little restaurant in Papakura. Awesome lunchtime deal combo, welcoming owner/chef and fabulous food! My hubby had the medium vindaloo and it had lots of taste! We'll definitely be back!”

“Its outside unprentious look is deceiving. Delicious food. Quick service. The lamb soup was super delicious as well as the pezos. (seafood pancake / pizza). Mostly Korran soups and the cheaper beef soup was also great and well worth the $.”

“If you are looking at comment a year ago or more please try ignore. If you have visited this place over a year ago I would recommend coming in again! My partner and I felt like Thai so we came for dinner and it was SO good! Waitress need a bit of practice but these are new owners since March 2022 and it was so nice! Such an underrated place for the food that is served. Give this place another shot this food wont disappoint”

“Food was great and very filling. I found myself full way before I could finish my portion. Just that there was overpowering taste of ginger in the beef rendang!”

“The food at Nikkies is always super delicious and the best service. Great family environment, fresh delicious food and fantastic drinks.”

“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!”

“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.”
