“Amazingly quick service, the food came out in what felt like 5 minutes and we got two prompt check ins to make sure we were happy, good touch. The lamb shank red curry was to die for. So much sauce and somehow I managed to clean the plate, I could have licked the plate clean but stopped myself. Tender meat, I gnawed the shank bone clean at the end. Creamy, slightly sweet, flavourful fragrant sauce with a great variety of tender veggies to boot. Perfection. Partner's pad Thai was great too ❤️”

“A fabstastic Japanese restaurant with great food and excellent service! We visited both for dinner and breakfast (since it’s part of a motel) and enjoyed both experiences. The sushi train delivering food to the table was a huge hit, especially for our 8-year-old, who absolutely loved it! The quality-to-price ratio is excellent – you can choose between an all-you-can-eat option or order à la carte from the menu, which gives great flexibility depending on how hungry you are. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely one of the best Japanese dining experiences we’ve had in a while. Highly recommend for both families and sushi lovers!”

“Love this place! It’s been awhile since I’ve been back here but I love what they’ve done with it. It feels so bright and spacious now! Shelving and stock look so good. Amazing! Staff are all wonderful too, especially the lovely lady that does the rotisserie chickens! Yummmmmmmm! A+ experience. Lucky lucky Ngongotaha!”

“So delicious. We had a udon stir fry with tofu, the vegetarian noodle soup and the pancake with tofu. We were travelling in Vietnam a few months ago and missed the food so much, so this was a perfect fix for us!!”

“I'm typing this review in a state close to food coma. My friend and I tried the “Let’s Eat” experience at Mekong Buffalo, and it was fantastic! You just let the chef choose for you (after checking for anything you don’t like), and the wonderful dishes just keep coming. The portions were generous, starting with a big platter of starters, and every course was packed with flavor. The service was excellent: attentive and friendly, but never too much. If you’re in Rotorua and enjoy Asian food, this is a must-try. Highly recommend!”

“I wish I would’ve discovered this place sooner. And I’m so grateful that I still found it. I came in for a coffee and it’s really cool cause each one has a double shot and I opted for a third shot and it’s only a dollar more and then I saw this amazing scone And I had no intention of eating food until I saw this thing and I’m like I gotta have it and wow, it is one of the favorite things I have eaten in a while. I highly recommend coming here. They have such a wide variety of fresh baked, pastries, and savory items and sandwiches. I will be back. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place to indulge my taste buds.”

“I've been coming here for a couple of years now. I must say that 3116 produce the best cheese scones ever! I've travelled throughout NZ and tried various cheese scones but these are simply delicious. Home made everyday by the lovely owner herself. A must try, but leave some for me!”

“My wife had heard about this place through a patient of hers and had sent me the link as a place we must try. We finally got out there on lunchtime. My Coeliac wife was tempted by the Gluten Free sweet treats in the cabinet and I opted for a burger. We were initially confused as to who was staff in their plain clothes, and there seemed to be quite a few of them, but they were very friendly and polite. The food was exceptional. We really enjoyed the flavours in both the sweet and the burger, which were quite different to most places we visit. The coffee was also really good. We will gladly return to try other dishes on the menu.”

“Best date scones in town! You can call ahead to order and save time. Shelves are always stocked and a good variety of options. Owners give great service too.”

“Great Breakfast Spot in Mount Maunganui! Really happy we found Groovy while we were visiting the Mount. The food is fresh, hearty and very delicious. Cappuccinos are great. Happy and friendly atmosphere. You should definitely come over and check it out!”

“Great service on Crate Day. We got a half and half swappa. Brilliant!”

“We had an amazing experience. The coffee was so delicious and velvety. The hot chocolate had a little butterfly design with sprinkles which was so cute. The portion sizes are very generous for the price. I love that there is a darker area to sit and a business lounge upstairs. Cabinet food looked fresh and we'll presented. Staff were so kind and had beautiful smiles and a warm, welcoming presence. I was blown away with all of the breathtaking artwork too. A fantastic cafe! We will definitely be back with friends x”

“Great exhibitions, great collection of aircraft. They do a good job restoring old planes and educate people about them. Volunteers are passionate and very informative. Overall an awesome experience!”

“Lovely experience here, they were busy but still took care with the orders. We got a banana bread slice and a scone, both toasted, both delicious, fresh and perfectly made. Our coffees were also yum and well made (Long black and flat white). We highly recommend this place for a light lunch and a coffee. The perfect quick stop in the middle of The Mount.”

“Took a small party out for my wife's birthday. The food was great, and served quickly after ordering. I particularly liked the kumara fries! Was a great recommendation from the owner. Service was exceptional, you can tell when someone actually cares about their patrons. It showed in the number of people inside the business. It was a rainy Sunday evening and the resteraunt was at capacity! There was live music and good vibes in abundance. Despite being busy the proprietor checked on us multiple times, and once the live band had finished and a few people had left a table cleared inside which he offered to us for a more pleasant experience. Thank you for the hard work, we will be back!”
