Chinese restaurant in New Zealand

“Friendly staff. The restaurant was almost full so I would recommend booking a table beforehand. The waiting time was short and we didn't have to wait long for our food after we ordered. The food was delicious and made with good quality ingredients that is better than other Chinese restaurant nearby. The dish sizes are large, so it's a ideal restaurant for family and/or friend gatherings. I was happy when I saw one of the staff put a dropped table cloth into a bin for cleaning instead of using it anyway, good hygiene practices. Will come again!”

“Delicious and authentic rice noodle rolls.”

“Been here multiple times and is my go to for beef noodles now! Broth is flavourful, with a tiny fragrance of herbs while not being too oily or heavy. The noodles are made fresh with a good bite and texture. Love the sour cabbage/pickles option. They have a wide range of dishes too, all of them being delicious. Highly recommend this spot! Both more affordable and much tastier than other chains that have sprung up in Auckland.”

“I really recommend combo 11. It's so delicious”

“We ordered fish and chips. Ten outta ten. Highly recommend. Crispy and fresh. Not at all oily.”

“What a fantastic eatery, so much choice, all the staff were lovely, had ana amazing salad from the Greek place, with huge amounts of the most tasty and crispy Halumi, YUM! Will definitely be making this a regular lunch stop.”

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

“Great local. Been coming here for years. Beside their fish & chips, love their sweet n sour, chow mein, black bean & fried rice options. Very tasty, reasonable prices.”

“Popped in very close to closing time without a booking and they kindly let us dine. We felt like something light and fresh so we got the wontons, kimchi and a couple of the salads - all the ingredients were so fresh and delicious! I have been to Blue Breeze Inn many times over the years and it has never disappointed. Yummy food, lovely atmosphere, exceptional service always. Highly recommend.”

“The most delicious dumplings I’ve ever had! My go-to is the sweet and spicy — absolutely perfect. Ordering online was quick and easy, and the location is super convenient with plenty of parking nearby.”

“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$.”

“I regularly travel across town to have dinner here and it is always worth it. The food is delicious. My favourite dishes are the dumplings, guillan noodles, pickled vegetables and fern root noodles. But in saying that, everything I have tried has been delicious! The service is always friendly and accommodating. Ask for the spicy chillies from the kitchen if you are up for it.”

“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.”

“Lovely Xinjiang style food in Dominion Rd. Stopped in for lunch and it didn't disappoint. Had me thinking of my time working in China with lovely homemade yoghurt drink and tasty lamb kebabs. Definitely recommend this place, great food and service in a cosy little shop. Decor is simple, but it's the food that counts.”

“I had dinner here tonight and was blown away by the food. Everything was full of flavor and beautifully prepared, but the dumplings stood out as some of the best I’ve ever had – soft, perfectly cooked, and packed with taste. The service was friendly, the atmosphere warm, and the menu offered plenty of authentic options. Highly recommended – a must-visit if you enjoy great Chinese cuisine!”

“This place is our usual go-to restaurant. The food is always delicious and well-presented. Their signature dish, Samsun Jjamppong, is a must-try. It’s not too spicy and is full of flavor. The staff is friendly and kind.”

“This Thai restaurant is right near my home, and I can't believe I had never tried it before! I decided to give it a shot over the weekend and was surprised to find it quite busy. I ordered a **Prawn Nasi Goreng**—the portion was huge, and the rice was packed tightly into the bowl. It was super fragrant! I also got the **Crispy Pork Belly**—the pieces were large, and the sauce mixed with the fried rice was incredibly delicious. Finally, I ordered a snack: **Satay Skewers**—chicken skewers coated in rich satay peanut sauce, absolutely amazing! The restaurant even offers a **keto menu**, so it's great for those on a diet or into fitness. I'll definitely be going back again!”

“Had such a lovely experience dining here. If you’re craving classic Taiwanese dishes, this is the best by far, in Akl. The stinky tofu was similar to the night market offerings in TW. Other classics we tried were beef noodle soup, 3 cup chicken, pork braised noodles etc. Delicious! Service is great too. Will be coming back again!”

“Massive servings with great quality food! Really happy will be a repeat customer”

“Tasty food and super friendly service with generous portions”

“Every dish was divine. The menu is super vegetarian and vegan friendly and the staff are welcoming.”

“Hands down favourite dumplings in the whole wide world has to be the pork and chive in spicy sauce. Their ‘hot’ is not to be underestimated, but even though it burns a little for me it’s well worth it. Dan dan noodles a nice accompaniment to the dumplings but not a must. Portion sizes are huge so always go for the Small if in doubt. Fell in love with the original Basu Lounge in Takapuna but I really rate their Browns Bay location more.”

“Friendly service and outstanding value. The portions were huge and freshly cooked. Everything tasted great. Lovely stuff!”

“Incredible value and huge portions! The food is delicious and there's plenty of options. The free soup counter is an extra bonus. I wish I lived nearby and could come eat here all the time! The sticky rice stuffed sausage was a bit sweet for my tastes, but the portions were still great. They don't offer stinky tofu as an individual dish- it's only included in hotpot orders. Parking is a bit difficult during peak meal hours. Excellent, excellent value!”

“Delicious Satay lamb stir fry noodles $22. Excellent customer service. Prodominately Chinese themed menu and restaurant. Large portions, delicious hot temperature food.”

“I rate this as the best Chinese takeaways I’ve ever tasted. The sweet and sour pork as well as the chow mein are my favorite dishes. Their service is excellent and they operated safely through Covid lockdown. I hope they become available on Uber Eats one day.”

“I have tried chicken, steak and bacon and egg burger here. They are cheap (7-9$), and tastes all right. Takes about 10-15 minutes to cook. Their chicken fried rice is average, fried chicken is all right but bit too oily”

“This Auckland spot has some amazing Chinese food! The rice noodle rolls are so chewy and the sauce is delicious. I'll definitely be coming back to try the other flavors. And let me tell you, the polo bun and egg tarts were a hit - they disappeared in no time! I also grabbed some frozen BBQ pork buns to take home - there are so many savory and sweet flavors to choose from. Plus, the restaurant has plenty of parking, it's clean and the staff are super friendly.”

Pine Harbour Eatery leans into a simple, bistro‑style approach with tidy execution. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go. Serve sizes show solid value.

“WOW WOW WOW... Highly recommend Captain Chicken to anyone after a delicious bite to eat. Photo is of the CCT Super Burger, top notch & super tasty. 10/10”
