“Staff is very polite. I had teriyaki salmon on rice. They used a mix of purple and white rice. So delicious. The place is also very clean.”

“I order frequently from here on uber eats and pick up. The food (particularly the sashimi) is consistently high quality, fresh and taste amazing. Its so rare to find a place that does amazing sashimi. They deliver it with a small frozen bag to ensure freshness too. Perfect service. Thank you!”

“Great pizza and pasta combined with very friedly service. Italian food at its very best. Now even pizza tuna available.”

“I recently tried chicken teriyaki and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The shop itself was super clean and the owner was really friendly. They've also got a great menu with udon noodles, bento boxes, curry and awesome sushi packs. Looking forward to explore more of their food and highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have good affordable Japanese dishes.”

“Wow! First time getting sushi from here today as just started working in the area and all I can say is AMAZING! So fresh and clean and lots of great options! Will definitely be back for more.”

“The owner is incredibly kind, and every dish is bursting with flavor! The chicken? Honestly, it’s even better than most places back home in Korea. Highly recommend this spot—you won’t regret it!”

“First time to the shop the owners are new to the industry Both husband and wife have lived in New Zealand for 10 years from Korea Fantastic Food Great Service Friendly Staff Pricing competitive They made you feel welcome and even gave us a few freebys ie sushi and yummy coffee highly recommend you try”

“The sushi was delicious and the portion sizes were very satisfying. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and we really appreciated the complimentary rice ball—it was a lovely touch! The miso soup was also very good. Overall, a great experience—this is now our new favourite sushi spot in Takapuna”

“Wowzers! This is my first visit, I bought the double pattie,cheese,bacon burger, got some "lit" sauce and Aoli sauce, This was the best burger that I hav ever had in living memory! I will be back to try the other burgers rest assured.”

“Chunky Chook makes some of the best crunchy fried chicken in the West! Reminds me of other chicken places in town, but closer to home (and just as good, if not better!). Their chicken is really juicy and tender, with a really crisp battered crust. I do enjoy the flavours they bring to both the chicken patties (especially their spicy chicken burger) and the chips. Subtle but noticeable. Always a great choice for lunch or dinner, and the amazing team there make it worthwhile.”

“Really great sushi for a reasonable price. The Salmon Cream Cheese sushi is very good.”

“Best Banh Mi spot for me hands down. A hidden gem kind of spot. Bread is top tier (best I've had in AKL)”

“Oh my goodness THE BEST BYRIANI we have ever tasted the butter chicken was amazing not too rich and not too mention customer service! Highly recommend- support your local small business people. Thank you to the team at desi joint the food was SUPERB! A+++”

“Lovely organic products with reasonable price and nice staff”

“Had the loveliest service when we popped in with a bunch of children today - one of the staff generously offering us all plenty of things to taste, and even opening a packet of chocolates for our kids to try. The prices on some items were so great, and we walked out with a delicious haul - the service and the pastries were excellent!”

“Best of the best in Auckland CBD! TOP TIER SERVICE! TOP TIER COFFEE!! Sandwiches, sweet pastries, salads, kitchen menu, I don't have a favourite except the Strawberry Matcha! Coffee served with loveeeee ”

“An absolutely fabulous place to go with kids. The menu is all amazingly delicious and healthy! The kids had smoothies and we had yummy toasted chicken wraps with coffee and bliss balls. Highly recommended! The Snickers bliss balls and tropical smoothie were to die for. The owner and staff are super lovely! The kids had such a great time with the painting too. Even colouring in and a cool kids corner for the younger ones. A must do in Huapai!”

“What a great place, absolutely brilliant service. We felt absolutely welcome and genuinely enjoyed talking with the hosts. Very reasonable prices for the sandwiches for these days, and they were definitely put together with care for the food. The combinations and components made the food that much better.”

“This is a wonderful coffee shop, and the owner is really nice. They take the time to ask about your food and drink preferences, which makes the experience feel personal. I really enjoy coming here everything is good, and the friendly service stands out. Highly recommend!”

“The best kept secret in Auckland. They are currently making unbeatable birria tacos and other mexican kai. Be sure to check what hours they are selling them as it may fluctuate Also worth getting some supplies for home too”

“Had a small family dinner for the five of us. We love pasta as a family and I cook pretty decent pastas myself with homemade sauce. This was out of this world. Particular loved the October special and the three meat ragu.”

“Crazy Sushi is my go to number 1 lunch spot! The sushi is so good, tasty and flavourful (my favourite is the tuna - but get in quick because they’re usually all gone by 12pm!) and Angela is the absolute best - her superstar customer service and smile never goes un-noticed. As a regular she always remembers my order, even down to the extra soy sauce packet which sets crazy sushi apart from the rest. Would definitely recommend crazy sushi!”

“Absolutely loved the food here. The tempura was super crunchy and the udon was delicious. Friendly service too — will definitely be back!”

“The two indian brothers that run this place are very attentive and professional, and service is top-notch. I've been a few times and rate it as one of the best Indian cuisine (& Thai fusion mix) curry houses on the north shore. Food is outstanding, has a very tasty and subtle blend of spice and melt-in-your mouth meat and crisp veg, and is now our favorite place to relax and have a kingfisher on tap. There is also another place upstairs, above them thats always quite busy, which I don't rate at all. Right next to the sea, good for a walk off them superb and delicious calories afterward.”

“I was pleasantly surprised to find a highly-rated Thai restaurant nearby on Google. Though the restaurant is quite small, it's exceptionally clean. We ordered pad Thai, fried squid, and green curry - all of which were absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and beautifully presented. I'd particularly recommend it to locals; you won't be disappointed.”
