“Very tasty local Thai, had the Pad See Ew and Panag curry which would definitely recommend. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back.”

“Enjoyed my quick lunch here with a wonton bbq noodle soup. The soup is so good, with the noodle in it, excellent match. The meat in the wonton can be better.”

“Wow, the "Steak Night" was fantastic. Normally my wife does not allow me to order steak, as 99 times out of 100, the chef does not know how to cook it, or it has not been aged, or the thickness is inconsistent I.e thick at one end and thin at the other. And I complain about it. However, I was pleasantly surprised as the friends I went with talked the restaurant up. We got there around 7 pm, and the place was buzzing, a really good atmosphere with locals obviously supporting this restaurant. The steak was spot on, asked for medium rare, and received a good sized portion of a very tender medium rare scotch fillet with mushroom sauce. Fries and a fresh garden salad finished of a simple but great meal. Yes, i took the time to go and thank the team in the kitchen for a great meal. My friends tell me Taco Night is also well worth going to, so I reckon my wife and I will have to make the journey North from Hamilton to do just that. 100% recommend this restaurant. Oh, one of our friends is celiac, and they were able to cater for her with GF fries and GF Salt and Pepper squid.”

Thai Passion Beachlands runs with a simple, bistro‑style menu and a relaxed pace. Views add a quiet lift to the visit. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go. A sensible spend for the spread. Plat...

“Great sushi! Lots of variety and the quality is very good. Service is always amazing! Going to miss eating your sushi :(”

“Great selection, build your own pack in 3 suggested sizes. Good pricing; on par with more commercial sushi such as St.Pierres Newmarket. Love it here. Absolutely lovely service”

“Great place to pickup some Fiji curries, palau, ghorse fullia and savory snacks. So delicious and wonderful service.”

“The most flavourful pad thai Ive ever had, with really generous portion and they DID NOT skimp on the prawns! The price is soo good and service is efficient and so welcoming. Would definitely come back.”

“Such a good pita, thankyou for not putting too much lettuce in it! I actually was able to eat the whole thing without lettuce going everywhere or it getting soggy, it seems like such a small thing but means so much to me lol. Thought I'd drop a review because I saw how ridiculous some of your low reviews are... the audacity of some people... thanks again for the great pita!”

“One of the best sushi places on the Shore. Such an impressive selection of sushi, lots to choose from. Ingredients are super fresh and are of highest quality. Service is super friendly, so if you're looking for great sushi, try U Sushi, you won't regret it.”

“Tío Pablo is a gift to Aotearoa. At risk of sounding overly dramatic: The fact that we have access to prompt doorstep delivery of all the main dried chiles and masa harina—in generous bulk quantities too—truly improves the quality of life here on the island for those of us Mexican-food lovers. Have been ordering from them for about 5 years now, and they've always had exceptional speed/service. The only thing I'm still missing here in NZ is access to fresh tomatillos, but can't fault Tío Pablo for not diversifying into fresh produce ;) Thank you for existing and for the great work you do, team!”

“a really good place to get your Japanese/Korean fix with reasonable price. I've tried their udon, lunchboxes and 3 flavours of donburi - not once did I regret. The food taste delicious and freshly cooked. The area might sometimes feel dodgy for those notnused to the city (a pity) but lunch hours should be fine.”

“I cannot recommend Arno enough - he went above and beyond, including my last minute requests. He was responsive and made everything happen (I am very particular and nit picky). He paired the wines perfectly with the food. The food itself - SPECTACULAR. Arno uses the freshest ingredients and best quality meats, the blends of sweet, salty and fruity were incredible.”

“Such a wonderful place to get sushi from, opens nice and early so you can get sushi for lunch before work and the owner is wonderful. Also very tasty and extremely well priced 10/10 recommend”

“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”

“Beautiful family business. I arrived with my infant son for a very late lunch and they were still open which was incredible. They are so welcoming, friendly, accommodating and generous. 11/10 and will be a returning customer again and again.”

“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+++”

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!”
