“So glad this place was open at Level 3. Amazing service e and really fresh sushi. Made on the spot. Will be back here again soon!”

“Such a gem for Beach Haven this sushi shop. Excellent sushi, heaps of choice and lovely service. Deservedly popular place!”

“Was an absolutely amazing place. The food is incredibly delicious. A lot better than Domino’s or Pizza Hut and was so fast we were in the car and got distracted and he came and delivered it to us. What a place, would recommend”

“The sushi was pretty good pretty average like other sushi places, but their staff members were so friendly! They had a smile on their face full time, and I was the first one in the store and when they saw me coming in they all greeted me and because I was the first one not all the sushi were on the shelf. Once I started choosing they immediately started to make more sushi to put on the shelf!”

“The sushi was delicious, with tender chicken and perfectly seasoned rice. The katsu chicken rice bowl had crispy, juicy chicken and flavorful rice. Both dishes were tasty and nicely presented. Highly recommended!”

“Great little sushi place. Food is good and well priced. The staff are friendly and the place is clean :)”

“What a spot!!! Really delicious food that is super fresh and amazing service. It’s a must visit!”

“Great service and food. Would definitely come back”

“Had a wonderful service and great food at this restaurant. Very friendly & patient staff. We came as a group of 15-17 people including 5+ kids and the staff were very helpful and considerate. Everyone ordered something different and yet all the food was delicious and everyone was satisfied. Bill was also reasonably priced and good value for money. Highly recommend to everyone and will definitely come again.”

“Our second time at Apero in ten days, and both times were terrific. The food is imaginative and beautifully presented. The service is so good - a really friendly host takes you through the menu and the wine list in a very charming way, and you feel very welcome, appreciated and well cared for. All the dishes were excellent, and especially good - the potato dauphine and the strawberry soufflé. Oh, and the very good bread and butter! That something so simple can be so well done just shows what a tip top kitchen is at work!”

“Paris Butter is an absolutely impeccable establishment. Easily a 10/10 experience. The staff were not only incredibly friendly but also impressively knowledgeable, making the evening feel special from start to finish. Even getting to pick my own knife for one of the dishes - a very special touch. Every dish was strikingly presented with precision and bursting with flavour. Highly recommend making Paris Butter a priority on your dining list, it’s an experience not to be missed.”

“This Mediterranean spot in town is top-notch! Customers love it for its great service, upbeat atmosphere, yummy food, and excellent customer care. Plus, they keep the toilets clean! We tried the Mediterranean chicken, bread, and dips, especially recommending Love in Sam's special dip. Give it a go!”

“Ali is amazing and cooks with his heart and soul. All I can say is these are the BEST Kebabs and Shish Kebabs I've had in Auckland, made with so much love and served with a smile always. The quantity of meat in the kebabs is great too, true value for money, not like the ones with the sauces you normally get. Worth a try if you haven't already and you will be surprised :D Thanks again Ali :)”

“Great for classic Italian flavors and generous portions,the wood fire pizzas are fantastic! Great place to eat.Excellant staff and service.”

“Love their sushi. Simple, fresh and delicious!”

“I finally popped in here for lunch! This place has been on my radar a long time and it did not disappoint. Super welcoming staff, very cute decor. Great menu- beautiful selection of beer and wine, delicious looking cocktails. I had the duck carnitas as it was just a quick lunch for me, and they were fantastic! The duck was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend you pop in asap. Jess, Hosptiality Specialist Kakapo Business Sales”

“It was pretty busy when we dropped in, so it took a bit to get our food but it was SO GOOD. The atmosphere is super fun, and the guy (owner?) serving us was fantastic and made sure nothing was too spicy for the kids. We got the jerk chicken, wings, Mac n cheese, empanadas, and the curry with chicken and everything was AMAZING.”

“Had a great experience overall! The food was absolutely excellent—every course was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The crew was warm and attentive, and the ambience was really cool and inviting. A special shoutout to the bartender—absolutely amazing! The only downside was the wait time. Our three-course meal took over two hours, which felt a bit too long. That said, the quality and vibe made it worth the wait. Would still recommend, especially if you're not in a rush.”

“We heard about this restaurant through the local Thai community page on Facebook. We went there for Saturday lunch and are very pleased we did. It brings back fond memories of time we have spent in Thailand. Inside it is cosy and the decor is quite interesting and not overstated. The menu seems to be based on Thai street food plus many of our favorites, we had Basil stir fry with pork mince, Moo Ping and the best dish of all, crispy Pork belly with stir fried vegetables. I haven't had such good trasting crispy pork for many years. Everything was so good we bought two more dishes and took them home for dinner. However, of late they have been a bit Lackadaisical, opening late or not opening at scheduled time, without notice or advice on the various websites.”

“Best Tandoori burger. If you are craving for Flavouful juicy chicken then you must try this.”

“I'd heard about this place and made the trip across Auckland and was not disappointed! The Rosier burger had everything a burger needs and the cheeseburger was amazing too! Will be back. Love the bbq rubs and sauces available over the counter too!”

“Top notch Napoli-style pizza, the best in the area. Crisp bases and fresh toppings with punchy flavours. The packs of pre-made bases are worth getting too, for days when you want to make something at home. Highly recommended!”

“I had the best day at Yawara Ramen bar. The ramen is affordable and super delicious (some of the best ramen I’ve ever had as someone who has been to Japan). The portion sizes are generous and even the regular leaves you more than satisfied. The staff were super friendly and down to Earth. I had some wonderful conversations with the man with the kuma (くま) on his shirt! After lunch we went to the cafe section of the restaurant and bought so many treats that were equally as delicious. Extensive matcha menu is something I would like to try and will definitely be back. I loved it at Yawara Ramen bar!”

“I absolutely love Makiin Thai. I always go for the Som Tum salad, and it never disappoints. It's consistently very tasty and perfectly refreshing, with that great balance of lemon juice, fish sauce, and garlic. The service is equally wonderful, the team is so lovely, very friendly, and always serves you with a smile. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely love Maakindii Thai Street Food! This place delivers authentic Thai flavours that are bold, vibrant, and satisfying. Every dish we’ve tried has been full of depth and beautifully balanced”

“Great taste and better prices. Have tried this restaurant multiple times and their flavors come through better than most. Ordering some tonight...”

“Stunningly beautiful food. The best Japanese restaurant in Auckland, hands down. Exceptionally fresh seafood prepared with such care and skill… attention to detail across all elements of plating and service… a warm, relaxed yet higher-end dining experience - it’s one of the best meals out I’ve ever had. The food was just immaculate - after tasting this tempura prawn maki you understand what this dish could be… so juicy and massive and generous and fresh are those prawns with that tender perfect rice and light tempura crunch paired with the creamy avocado - it’s just incredible. The sake selection is also so beautiful… there is so much crap sake floating around Auckland… this is the standard of excellence. We had such an amazing time. It’s a really special place.”

“Our daughter just had her wedding service and dinner here, and it was absolutely fantastic. Gillian was fabulous to work with, easy to get gold of and very accommodating throughout various meetings held in preparation. The waiting staff on the night were wonderful- so friendly and cheerful. Our meal was amazing. We loved the room we hired- it was the perfect size for our party of 30, and mingling out on the deck while the couple were off for wedding photos was lovely. We truly loved our time so much- couldn't fault anything. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou. Ps I couldn't comment on the noise level and reservation as they weren't really applicable as we weren't in the main restaurant.”

“Wow! What an awesome find! This is easily the best Thai restaurant in Auckland. Our favourite mains are the Pad see ew and Green curry, both are always so delicious and fresh. Highly recommend their money bags as an appetizer! Everything is cooked to perfection. The owners are amazing and so friendly. We also called on Top Ten to cater for an event, and they went above and beyond for us. Their portions were generous and the price was great too. Thank you!”
