Family dining in Hamilton

“Polite staff, clean and tidy restaurant, welcoming atmosphere and delicious food. I ordered spicy chicken donburi (requested no rice) and it was perfection!!”

“I can’t comment directly on their pizzas but their customer service is excellent. Much better than other nearby pizza places. Thanks to the Crust our homemade pizza night was a big success. The dough was delicious and the pizzas came out great.”

““Had a wonderful dining experience at Kanak Restaurant. We tried the Kanak Special Chicken and Ragda Paneer, and both dishes were outstanding in flavor and presentation. The service was excellent, with staff being attentive and very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for authentic and delicious food.””

“Ordered for delivery through their website. Food was fresh, delicious and fragrant and delivery was prompt. Ordering for delivery through their website instead of uber eats also gives you access to their cheap deal for 2 meals which is NOT offered on uber eats!”

“We love the takoyaki here and good service. One time they ran out, they cooked a new batch just for me. Felt special. My daughter's favorite is the takoyaki so can't leave without them.”

“The best sushi in Hamilton, if not NZ! Very friendly staff, great sushi and noodles and very affordable. Love thus place!”

“Outstanding food! The Wontons are my crack. The sweet and sour Chicken is my lover. The burgers here are also really good, and they have outstanding Thickshakes! This is one of only two fish and chip shops in Hamilton, I like and recommend! These guys are a neighbourhood gem and are criminally underrated. The fish is fresh and flaky, the salt ratio is perfect and they have so many options, that you'll never get bored either! I felt like everything, so I had a UK style Cheeky Chinese, with sweet and sour, crunchy chips, Wontons and a sneaky piece of fish. My lord. What a spot smasher!”

“The best sushi in Hamilton in my opinion. The salmon, avocado and cream cheese and the vegetable tempura are my absolute favourites! But I like almost everything lol and they also give free miso and are very friendly, welcoming and have good customer service. Also if something isn't there that you want to eat they'll make it for you if you ask.”

“Decided to retreat from Auckland to venture to this quant cafe by the Waikato river. The cafe is quite spacious with plenty of indoor seating and outdoor seating with good view of the Waikato river. The menu seemed a bit limited and the tastes was ok. A tad pricey but lenient because of the peaceful ambience. Easy to find parking.”

“One of my lunch faves! My go to is Roast pork belly noodle salad and a mixed combo Bahn mi which has lemongrass beef/chicken and pork belly (sorry didnt take a photo before i ate it). Sooooo yummy! Delicious Vietnamese flavors through all their dishes, have never been disppointed here and i eat here once sometimes twice a month. Ordered the prawn fresh paper rolls which came with a yummy peanut sauce. Food came out quick, staff are friendly and service is awesome. Don't normally have to book but it was busy today at lunch. Prices are reasonable too! Highly recommend!”

“Everything was absolutely delicious, the naan was just perfect and their meat to curry ratio was perfect unlike some other places that I’ve noticed are a bit stingy on their meats.”

“Can’t go wrong with Robert Harris, you always get a consistent feed. Got the salmon eggs bene and it had a really decent amount of salmon which is rare. The salmon roulade was great and the chips. Coffee is always good. Staff were friendly too.”

“First visit in this Japanese restaurant in the lunch time. We arrived early and few customers were already inside. This is one of the few authentic Japanese cuisine restaurants in town. As you enter, it seems like you are in Japan, great decorations, long bar featuring traditional customs. Food came quickly, we ordered some chicken karage for our chidren, my wife ordered salmon with salad and me lamen. All tasted fantastically nice, soft rice and well seasoned. Owners are Japanese, that explains much of the quality and precision. Looking for another good experience in the future.”

“The food is INCREDIBLE- hands down my favourite lunch and dinner spot in Hamilton. Always fresh, always flavourful! Great value for money (big servings) - Casual dining atmosphere, fun place to go with a group or grab takeaway from.”

“This place is good for those who want to have real Chinese hotpot soups. They have vegan broth too if you ask them. Only one thing bothered me is there are weak fans. So, during the meal steam from hotpot blows to your face. After you smell like those hotpot’s)))”
