Restaurants in Auckland

“Very welcoming and friendly customer service. It wasn’t too busy when we arrived. Our food came out quick, it was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. My favourite was the kumara wedges I really enjoyed that as well as my chicken apricot burger. The lovely waitress who served us from the moment we walked in was super sweet and lovely! I had an issue with my drink and she took it away and fixed it right away still smiling. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available, it’s a lovely setup. Next time we’ll try the ribs as it looked so good when the waiter walked past with them to the other table.”

“Excellent fish and chips. Quick, friendly team and very good quality. Your the best. Cheers”

“It feels like you are in South Korea. Tables are limited so be sure to book a table for dinner and lunch. The $50.00 Bulgogi includes 2 rice cup is good for 3 people and sides are amazing. The 3 ladies that works there are friendly and amazing.”

“I had a great experience at Pizza Hut! The pizza was fresh, hot, and loaded with toppings. The crust was just the right balance of crispy and soft, and the flavors were delicious. Service was quick and friendly, and the online ordering made everything super easy. Perfect place for a quick and satisfying meal — will definitely be coming back!”

“it was so great at nikos pizza! the food was great and all a good price. the service was outstanding. they fed our dog multiple times and gave him water, gave us some free watermelon at the end, and we so sweet to us all together! will definitely visit again :)”

“Great friendly service and quality made pizzas.”

“Delicious. Would go back just for the desserts. Very friendly attentive staff.”

“We’ve been coming to this restaurant with our family for over 23 years, and it has never disappointed. The food is always delicious, consistent, and full of flavour, and the service is warm every single time.”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! A few years ago I was pregnant,tired and incredibly hungry and all the restaurants were actually closing their doors, including vino. My poor husband ran up just as you were closing the doors and asked if you had anything spare he could buy for me quickly. Without hesitation you actually turned your ovens back on,chatted to my husband about life,and made me a double portion of pasta FREE of charge and said it was a gift for us and our first baby. I genuinely cried at how generous you were to a total stranger. Don’t know if you remember this at all,but it’s always stuck with us! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.”

“The food was absolutely amazing especially the lasagna, the place has such a warm and homely vibe, feels like coming home. The two Italian aunties who own the place are incredibly kind and friendly, and every dish is served with a warm smile and of course we’ll definitely be coming back again!!”

“Popped in for some samosas and a beer. Fantastic service from a family owned business. Great food and great value prices.”

“I'm giving Portofino 5 stars all around as we absolutely loved the food, service, and atmosphere during our holiday in New Zealand. It was so good that we visited them again before we left...twice in one week for dinner! I definitely recommend dining at Portofino. All of the food we ordered were great from the Lasagna Al Forno, Fettuccine Di Pollon, Vegetarian Fettuccine Vegetarian, Cannelloni Casanostra. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They even offered and opened the window and had fresh air while enjoying our meals. We forgot to take pictures of our food the first time we dined in...that's how great it was! The pictures below are of what we ordered on our second visit!”

“The Tom Kha soup was beautiful, very authentic however the Thai Basil stirfry let them down, it wasn’t authentic Thai Flavours plus they used frozen beans which isn’t ideal. Really lovely service, friendly and helpful staff. Nice place for a quick reasonable meal.”

“I love this place soooo much! Anytime been in Auckland always come here for Thai food! and especially the dessert! always yummmy!”

“Nice little Thai restaurant, has dinner here the first time and ordered plenty of dishes amount 3 adults and 2 kids. Service was really good and the food was very nice, the Red Thai curry is great with Rice hard to find a park during evening.”

“LOVE this place!! Food is always so freshly made and great flavours. Definitely takes me back to Thailand! If you’re a fan of fresh seafood, then you need to try the raw prawn salad. Love their curry puffs and money bags, super crunchy and comes with a really good sauce. Their sizzling plate is also amazing with some coconut rice. Service here is always so friendly, totally recommend!”

“We had breakfast there . The breakfast menu was good. The food we ordered was really tasty. The atmosphere is of really cozy street cafe where you can spend time and have food. A bit like Europe. The service was real fast and very polite. Overall A nice experience.”

“The food at your restaurant is exceptional—each dish showcases the artistry and authenticity of Japanese cuisine. The flavors are incredible, and the atmosphere is so inviting. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!"”

“Recently visited Ebisu with a group of friends to experience their Oki No Saturday Buffet. The selection was truly generous- fresh sashimi, sushi rolls, shrimp, udon and miso soup as well as hot dishes like salmon, braised beef brisket. And many delicious desserts. I have to say the sashimi was beautifully arranged and fresh. The service was friendly and attentive throughout. Our group wholeheartedly enjoyed the Oki No Saturday Buffet. I will recommend it without hesitation to anyone if you are looking for a relaxed Japanese buffet in Auckland.”

“We had brunch on Waitangi Day (Thursday) and absolutely loved it. For the first time, I had a smoothie that was actually better than the ones I make at home—so thank you for that! We went back on Saturday, but this time, the smoothie had noticeably more spinach, which caused it to oxidize quicker. I don’t have a picture, so you’ll have to take my word for it—it was much darker in color and less sweet. That said, the breakfast quality was just as great as the first time.”

“The Collins is a local fave on the Shore!! Their food is always delicious, coffee is brewed to perfection, and the customer service is always friendly and fast. I definitely recommend coming here for coffee and/or brunch, plenty of seating options both indoor and outdoor too.”

“I love this place!!! It may be on a main road but the atmosphere inside the courtyard walls is beautiful…. a feel of Italy. We were greeted warmly and found a lovely seat in the sun where we thoroughly enjoyed the coffee and delicious food brought to us. I ordered the beef burger without buns and my son had the fish salad… both were spot on! I can’t wait to come back on an evening and enjoy the courtyard, with the festoon lights and a glass of wine with another Del meal!”

“We had amazing dinner here we did the à la carte menu. The sashimi was fantastic possibly one of the best in Auckland. If not New Zealand. The steak was amazing. The staff were really friendly and helpful and all around great restaurant. I haven’t been for awhile. It’s nice to see they haven’t dropped their standards.”

“Xi Ann Food Bar is a cozy, small shop that punches well above its weight. They make their own noodles from scratch, which truly elevates the dish. We highly recommend trying their cumin lamb noodles—they’re delicious, packed with flavor, and the portions are huge, easily enough to share between two people. The unique, fresh quality of the homemade noodles and the well-balanced seasoning make for a memorable dining experience. One noodle cost about 15$.”

“Amazingly delicious Chinese food honestly priced. Portions are big so if you order onr main with one starter it would be sufficient for 2 We ordered one Black pepper beef with 2 steam rice and one plate veg spring rolls. Total spent 50 New Zealand dollars.”

“Awesome place to go, especially during the week for lunch $20 steak doesn't go a miss and it was a decent feed too quick service, ordered lunch, ate and left in 25mins, perfect for a lunch break”

“I recently visited this cozy café and tried their "Salmon Benny" it was an absolute delight! The dish was beautifully presented, with perfectly poached eggs nestled on a crispy, flavorful base, topped with creamy hollandaise sauce and fresh greens. The smoked salmon on the side added a rich, savory touch that paired wonderfully with the rest of the dish. The portion size was just right, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The attention to detail in both the presentation and taste truly stood out. The café itself had a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. If you're a fan of eggs Benedict or just looking for a delicious brunch spot, I highly recommend giving this place a try! I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.”

“We have always wanted to try Manaia Seafood. From the moment I stepped out of the car, I could instantly smell the seafood boil. Our booking was set for 12pm. We ordered the Medium Lobster tray $135 with Fries $10 on the side. No amount of words can describe the beautiful taste of the Lobster tail, half cut crabs, mussels, prawns, sweetcorn and eggs. Everything was just divine.”

“I ordered food online on 10/11/2025 afternoon for our staffs . From the taste to portion everything was top notch. And definitely want to mention about Rara(sorry if I pronounce the name wrong) excellent communication, patience and customer service. Definitely visiting again. Thank you.”

“The lamb shank was delicious. Everyone at our table enjoyed their dinner. Hubby had the big steak & it huge! Very happy”
