“Good food for money just need more burger rang”

“Tried this out for my birthday because of the reviews. Did not disappoint. Beautiful dishes. Not all dishes were to my liking but I dined with family & everyone enjoyed their food. We spent around $500 & that's js because we bought heaps of plates for 9 of us & had heaps of leftovers. Loved the bbq pork & sweet taro balls? And also the little buns with condensed milk not sure what they were called. Duck was also good. Oh and the soft shell crab was to die for. So good. Too many other dishes to name but thoroughly enjoyed our meals & will definitely come back in the near future to try other dishes. Thank you”

“This was our first time visiting, and it was such a treat. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and the menu had a great selection to choose from.

The attendents were friendly and engaging. There was an apology for the length of wait time but no apology was needed, the food was delicious, your service tops and the atmosphere was perfect. Lovely evening. Helped to end our beautiful weekend. Thank you!”

“Ok i firstly need to admit, I'm not easy to please these days, as i find many places just lack in quality service and overall taste and flavour. I'm happy to report this place is really nice. Wonderful friendly service and excellent quality food. We had the twice braised beef, lamb ribs, pan seared beans, chips, money bags and beef dumplings. All dishes were just as they should be. The lamb didn't look that nice but the first bite changed all that with a lovely flame grilled flavor. We'll definitely be back for more.”

“Fantastic restaurant you must try if you want to enjoy some authentic Northern Chinese cuisine. The staff are super friendly and the tastes are amazing. Highly recommended if you are in Auckland.”

“Wow is all I can say. I heard about Tuk Tuk thai over the years but we hadn't made it out of the city to try it. I am so glad we did as this was such beautiful Thai food. The atmosphere is lovely and you can tell that the owners put a lot of love into the decor. The service was great with friendly and attentive staff. But the food was the best Thai we've had in the wellington region. My husband and I both love Thai food and have tried most of the Thai restaurants in the wellington region, but Tuk Tuck Thai blew us away. The red curry is so silky, flavorful, and decadent and I felt like I was having a high end, luxurious Thai meal. The green curry was also very unctuous and flavorful with just the right hint of spice. The menu warns that both curry's come as medium, and we were a bit worried because we are not the best with spice, but neither were too spicy for us, so don't let that scare you off. We also had the roti with satay sauce and wow, the satay sauce is beautiful with great flavor, and one that you can tell is made in house. I 1000% recommend TukTuck Thai and if you have not tried it yet, please do, as you won't be disappointed. We are still talking about that meal the next day and cannot wait to go back.”

“We got the $44 buffet hotpot deal which included all you can eat lamb, crab stick, tripe, vegetables, tofu and noodles, plus the most delicious homemade steamed buns. The initial portions were so generous we didn’t need to ask for more, and all the ingredients were delicious. The service was excellent, very helpful when we were deciding how much to order! Highly recommend for Beijing style hotpot in Wellington”

“It's our first time to dining in this restaurant. Was really mpressed with the food and service. Food was really fresh and tasty. They even offered free soup and fruit platter. The restaurant was also tidy and clean. Will definitely come back again!”

“Haven't had decent Chinese since The Flying Horse Chinese in Takapuna. First time and Wow everything was fabulous. Great taking the order on the phone! We had wontons & dumplings that were huge and full of meat with a decent tub of sauce! Fried rice, S&S Pork, Chicken CM very tasty and great servings. Definitely coming again!! Well done!”

“My go to for fish and chips as well as Chinese. Awesome food, friendly staff. Please try ASAP!!”

“Fantastic fish, with good size fillets for the fish n chips. The Chinese menu is extensive and are also fantastically cooked. Staff certainly know their stuff. Wait time is reasonable at around 10 minutes for most orders on a busy night in Waterloo. Fresh fish can also be bought here and also when in season Bluff Oysters. The entire place is spotless from top to bottom.”

“A fantastic hotpot experience with a spacious and clean restaurant setting. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great place for gatherings with friends and family. The highlight for me is their three-flavor soup base—mushroom, mala, and tomato. The tomato soup is especially rich and flavorful, making it my top choice! The ingredients are fresh, with a good variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables to choose from. The dipping sauces are well-stocked, allowing you to customize flavors to your liking. Service can be slightly slow when the restaurant gets busy, but the staff are always attentive and doing their best to accommodate everyone. They are polite and willing to help with recommendations, refilling soups, and ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Overall, a great place for authentic Chinese hotpot—definitely worth a visit if you love bold flavors and a cozy atmosphere!”

“Me and my partner tried Hobson Indian Takeaway for the first time, and we were really impressed.The food was absolutely delicious—especially the biryani and samosas, which were full of flavor and freshly prepared. The staff were very kind, welcoming, and accommodating, making the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Chopsticks Restaurant is amazing, especially their lou sang and peng cai! The lou sang is super fresh, packed with flavour, and perfect for sharing—it’s seriously one of the best I’ve had. The peng cai is just as great, full of premium ingredients and so rich in taste. The food is top-notch, the vibe is chilled, and the service is on point. Highly recommend!”
