“An amazing tea experience today. As a tourist who loves tea I would highly recommend this place. They have tea tasting 3 teas for $15. They also have a variety of teas, mostly oolong (their specialty) and black tea blends. There are also very nice tea pots and cups. The two ladies who helped us today were knowledgeable, welcoming and helpful. They explained how tea picking occurs as well as what makes each tea special. I would love to see a tea picking experience, that would be a great tourism boost for the place and could be done in a controlled way to ensure no contamination of the soil. Otherwise, I loved it today!”

“Visited The Kirk Café in Hamilton and really enjoyed everything we tried — especially the sweet muffin, the pork & chorizo roll, and the samosa roll. You can tell the food is made fresh and with care. It is a little on the pricier side, but the quality definitely shines through. Cozy spot and tasty eats — worth a visit!”

“Best Malaysian food in Hamilton! it's also a lot cheaper than other places”

“Myself and my two teens stopped off here on our way to Auckland last week and I had the most delicious eggs benedict there! Best I've ever had. Now I keep wanting it and have had at a few other places since and nothing really compares. Shame I love so far (Wgtn). Thank you for the delicious food. This will now be my place to stop when coming through.”

“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.”

“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.”

“A great find, This unassuming little place located near The Wayward Pigeon does an amazing selection of dishes. We loved their take on yum cha share plates. So nice to be able to choose from a great selection of small plates that suit all tastes and appetites. Our group of 6 chose 2 plates each to share. Cost per head very reasonable and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend the beans dish, great for sharing and delicious. We will all be returning to try our new favourites and sample other items from their great menu.”

“As I walked past, I noticed my 2 mates eating in here. I pulled up and went in. Bar had a nice friendly atmosphere and a nice layout with an authentic feel. I order the pork belly hotpot and it was top both. Was so hot(heat) that I felt it had been in a nuclear reactor for a short time but once it had cooled down I could enjoy the full flavours of the dish. The pork belly was delicious and the soup was great too. Plenty of noodles and other well cooked veg. 100% will eat here again. Extremely well priced dishes for the portion sizes. . Highly recommended.”

“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)))”
