Restaurants in Auckland

“It's half-price when I went there after 4pm. I felt much better. As you know, prices in New Zealand are too high. There was sushi for vegetarian and there were various kinds of fried food. The fried food was sweet and delicious because it had chili sauce on it. It was a satisfying meal. I want to try Donburi next time. All the food in Marusushi looks delicious.”

“Super fresh ingredients and clean. Never had stale sushi here. Also owners are kind and lovely. Take out recommend as they have a limited seating option.”

“Ordered 2 Beef Cheese pancakes. Nice people. Good is Yummy, chewy and decent amount! A nice, stomach-filling meal!”

“Lovely cafe in Grafton. Friendly staff. Awesome portion sizes, crumbed mushrooms were delicious! Can understand why the cafe is called Fluff as the toasted bread is def fluffy & is so pleasant to devour! The house made sodas are perfect, just the right amount of flavour (feijoa & apple pulp with a hint of grapefruit) & fizz. Highly recommend this cute cafe.”

“Quality ingredients with consistent execution! Very well balanced flavour at a great value for money. It can get hot if you want it extra spicy. This has been a frequent stop for lunch and has never fail to impress. Tried the braised pork today and absolutely yum! Keep up the great work!”

“The food was delicious! My family and I ordered lamb kebabs, lamb on rice, and mixed on rice which was all superb. The two guys working were very accommodating with the order and brought everything out to us on the bench. 100% recommend!”

“We ordered a few dishes tonight. The steak meals were delicious..the sauce was amazing. I really enjoyed the steak on chips, great ratio of steak and chips. Definitely will be back for dinner!!”

“Had lunch on Monday, food was delicious. Service was very attentive and thoughtful. We were offered blankets if we were too cold and complimentary hot water with lemon. Food was excellent, great flavor, texture and value. Had lychee pork, tofu salad, wings, their plain 'burrito' and tried their homemade kimchi. All were delicious. My recommendation - nothing here is that spicy, if you can handle pepper you'll be fine. The wings (pictured) was one of the spiciest items on the menu but I found it less spicy than sriracha which they provided. This is not a bad thing, try all the items without fear of spice. Will go back again. Worth a visit!”

“The service was exceptional, and the food was freshly prepared. The coconut cream mussels, Lusipi, and chop suey were all delicious, perfectly complemented by the manioke—a real treat. Highly recommended!”

“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 !!”

“Had a great lunch stop on the way to the airport on Tuesday. The range of GP beers is always a selection dilemma, but settled on a February Fresh IPA... delicious. Enjoyed a great VEGAN masala toastie. Guys you really need to refresh the menu and add more plant-based choices!”

“Love this place. In town for only a few days and hit this spot 2 evenings for drinks, sliders, fries and chicken skewers. The owners are fantastic. Food is high quality.”

“The staff here are very friendly, welcoming and they always serve good quality coffee and food. I appreciate the young lady barista who helped me today with her heartily understanding . That cup of Flat White and the chocolate saved my afternoon☺️”

“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!”

“This was a great meal to end our time in New Zealand. The restaurant has a nice and calm atmosphere and the service was excellent. The fish and chips meal was great and the vanilla latte and feijoa kombucha were the perfect topper to a wonderful meal. (I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the meal!)”

“Seriously the best pizza in Auckland! The staff are always so friendly and the atmosphere lovely. We love their gorgeous pizzas so much we had to share them with our friends and family at our wedding! Wayne was a dream to work with to cater our celebration and so many great comments from guests.”

“My favorite place in Auckland for lunch! Tasty, delicious food and amazing service! They’re always generous and kind, and sometimes they’ve even given us something for free. 100/100”

“Highly recommend the grilled meats here, especially the beef — perfectly cooked and super juicy! I’d suggest going for medium rare for the best flavor. Their signature Kika sauce is also amazing and goes perfectly with the meat. Definitely a must-try spot!”

“Our month-long North Island campervan trip is coming to an end. We arrived in Auckland earlier than planned during our trip, and we hurriedly found a campsite. It looked like a vagrant's hostel, so we canceled our reservation. We were so shocked as to get out without thinking further. To think properly, we decided to grab a bite to eat at the first cafe we ​​found, but it was closing time. We were eating our takeaway sandwiches on a bench outside, and the staff came out and handed a full bag of leftover doughnuts and bread from the day. They could have given them to another customers, but I think they gave them to us because we were on our way. The reason I mention this in my review is that I was impressed by their strict adherence to the same-day sales policy. The bread from our sandwiches at closing time was crispy and delicious, as if freshly baked. They could have sold the bread of still good quality the next day, but they'll bake tomorrow's bread the next day. Isn't that wonderful? As we were leaving, the staff, busy with cleanup, all waved cheerfully and said goodbye. My initial panic instantly calmed, and I felt at ease again. My husband said the cream donut was his thing, and even though he was already full from the sandwich, he ate it all up in no time. It's a shame I didn't get to try the coffee. I'll come back before I return to Korea to try the coffee and review it. (No photos taken in the bad mood)”

“Been wanting to go here for a while now, and it absolutely lived up to my hype! Quaint 80s/90s American Diner type place and that vibe is immaculate, combined with the feeling of being in a busy little eatery in Japan. Runs like clockwork, too. Their "Dr Pepper" burger is unbelievably good! Already packed with so many good quality & some interesting ingredients... and then the jus they top it off with is so flavourful and much in quantity, makes this burger unlike any other. Bit messy to eat but thoroughly enjoyable and super filling, especially with the plenty of very well seasoned fries you get for $3 extra. Their handmade Creamy Chicken and Bacon pasta is also fantastic - simple ingredients, perfect cook and exactly what they say they are; nothing more or less. Very reasonably priced, just considering the quantities of the servings and quality of ingredients & cook, but the flavour especially stole the show and made it well worth the cost!”

“Have been coming to 39 for a while now and have never been disappointed. Renee and the team are fantastic, friendly and hospitable. Always there to charge ya vape, quick to refill your drink happily and have a pack of cards handy along with many board games. Looking to park yourself up for some drinks? Defs recommend 39!”

“Really, really yummy! I recommend the Indo-Chinese chicken momo and the spicy Indreni naan- absolute show stoppers! And great service from Aviskar”

“I’ve had two great experiences here! They’ve gone above and beyond to ensure that guests with allergies or restrictions feel not only accommodated, but welcomed. So incredibly kind and friendly! Allergens are clearly noted on the menu and they went out of their way to let me know what precautions they take to minimize the chance of CC. The food was incredible, and I’m glad I went with their recommendations. The note on the menu re: customizing tasting and set menu options to your dietary restrictions was really nice to see. I’m celiac and felt very understood when I noted a severe allergy.”

“Super friendly staff respect everyone and give superb service. Food is so yumm and nice and drinks are professionally made. I highly recommend this place to those who enjoy cosy and friendly bar. I'll definitely go there again because I enjoyed it a lot.”

“Actual best sushi shop in the land. The curries are top tier, the sushi and fried foods are always fresh and crispy, the store is always tidy and well prepped, and the staff are very kind and friendly. Very vegan friendly!”

“The most delicious and cheapest Malaysian food in Auckland! Trust me, worth every penny!”

“One of the best Indian cuisines in New Zealand! Delicious food, very affordable prices, and I highly recommend everyone to come and try it for themselves.”

“The coffee was amazing, very nutty and chocolatey. The food is also great, the hamburger uses chicken thigh which makes it very juicy and delicious. The fries are also great, very crunchy! The baked Spanish eggs is very flavourful and savoury, a very heart warming dish indeed, great if you’re looking for something that’s soothing and hot✨✨”

“A very memorable restaurant. Slightly mysterious unassuming very plain exterior but inside it's a whole different story! A lot of protocols being followed by the staff which create a special atmosphere. Food amazingly tasty. Every sauce is so tasty I was scraping my plate! The raw fish is the best I've ever tasted. The set menu is very good value and exactly what they promise - a taste adventure. Better make a reservation as they were full after we came and turned away several groups after us. I've never tasted Korean food like this or seen the rituals before. Beautiful attention to detail and highly organized preparation. An experience you'll want to repeat!”

“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.”
