Food establishment in New Zealand

“Fantastic food, flavours are perfectly balanced, portions are generous and service is great. Wine list is slim, but grab a bottle from the liquor store a few doors up and this place is a perfect night out!”

“They have so many options for vegetarian dishes and sweets. their Pav bhaji is the all-time favorite in our house. Reasonable prices. They take large catering orders for weddings or birthday parties.”

“Our family's favourite restaurant. Staff are very friendly and food are so yum. Usually no wait and they have plenty to eat. We love Mongolian BBQ.”

“Awesome selection of food, everything you might want, Mexican, Burgers, wood fired pizza, Spanish and Vietnamese as well as a licenced bar. It's got a lovely nicely decorated interior for the food court with nice seating! Just what the village needed.”

“Honestly the best Chinese/European takeaways ive ever had. They have an extensive menu and everything comes to served hot and tastes really fresh and delicious. There isnt too much of a wait time here. I refuse to get my takeways from any other in the area!”

“Friendly people fast and cheap and the fish n chips were great”

“Friendly people. Best fresh fish burger I’ve had in years. Super generous size and good price. ( I asked for no tomatoes) hot and crispy goodness”

“I stopped by Gourmet Burger and Brew Kitchen for a quick coffee break and had their latte, priced at $5.50. The coffee was decent, smooth, and well-made, though nothing extraordinary. The ambiance was cozy and casual, making it a good spot for a brief stop. While the latte was a bit on the pricier side for its quality, the overall experience was pleasant enough if you're in the area and looking for a comfortable place to relax for a while. Would come back to try their food, but for just coffee, there might be better options nearby.”

“super delicious food, which is my hometown tastes! very recommended everybody try cantonese food! 撑距！”

“Thank you to the lovely couple who own King of Kings. They have become a precious part of our BHB community. Delicious food, very generous portions, A+ cleanliness and always a warm smile and friendly greeting. The home made wontons are the best in Auckland (in our opinion- we've tried plenty!) and homemade spring rolls are also excellent. Our favourite is the wholesome wonton soup. Nothing more comforting on a cold night- packed with wontons and veges. Divine food- made with love. Thank you! (Plenty of Vegetarian options available)”

“Silver Bell has been our go to for years for chinese takeaway. Food is always fresh and the lady is always good to us. Only issue was finding an updated menu online. Took a few pics of the menu when I picked my order up.”

“The rice noodles are my favourite food! Like the spicy food!!! It’s not only delicious but also not expensive. The service is great! So highly recommended!”

“Ordered $10 hot chips, was a generous amount and everyone loved it.”

“The ambiance here is super sympa and I do love their healthy and fresh food. A strong recommendation for those who want to enjoy a sound and warm dish before departure:)”

“Saw the good reviews on me Wally phone here and thought to meself oh yeah I’ll get me a jug of lion red. I normally go in bloody ponsonby ways for a good session but onehunga was a calling. Had a whole swappacrate to meself and a punt on the pony’s, didn’t win mind. Was too drunk to drive home so I slept in me car at the countdown carpark”

“Really good fish and chips! Had a piece of battered snapper (fab) and a scoop of chips. The chips were good and crispy which is hard to find! My partner had the fish burger and said that was tasty too. We had 2 scoops between us and it was a very generous serving.”

“Love this place! We are huge fans and regularly eat here! Steamed pork & prawn dumplings, fried rice with egg and crispy sweet & sour pork are on regular repeat for us. Either you dine in or takeaway the food is always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!!”

“Good number of vegetarian options, which is great. The items we tried were delicious. Friendly owner/operators. Highly recommended and will be back to try more of the vegetarian options.”

“We attended a private function here. It is a lovely beachside setting with a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options. The atmosphere is airy, with a nautical themed decor. The reason I would come back is for the food. I had chicken with creme brulee for dessert, and my husband had the steak followed by a cheese plate. I rarely order chichen out but was tempted by the description and not disappointed it was tender, and the flavour was incredible. I would return based on this dish alone. Service was great, efficient and friendly but not intrusive.”

“Really great fish and chips. Chips portion was huge and the fish was a big piece with a very crispy and crunchy batter. Like "tell your friends" level fish batter.”

“Delicious food at very reasonable prices. The lady boss is extremely friendly and helpful. I’ve read some comments saying the restaurant wasn’t clean or organized, but in my opinion, the owner has been taking very good care of the place. They took over from the previous restaurant, Love a Duck, which was honestly terrible. Since then, the improvement has been huge. For me, there’s no doubt this is one of the best Asian cuisine spots in the area.”

“Golden Castle (황금성) has undergone changes since its previous name and management, so we decided to visit and see what’s new—and we were pleased with our experience! We booked a table for six on a Friday night, and despite the busy hours, service was quick. The staff were attentive to our requests and questions, and the food arrived promptly—within 10-15 minutes, even during peak time. We mostly ordered large plates to share, and there was plenty to go around. Our go-to dishes did not disappoint: the spicy chilli garlic chicken (깐풍기), sweet and sour pork (탕수육), Jjamppong (짬뽕)—a must-try for seafood and spice lovers—Jangban Jjajang (쟁반짜장), perfect for sharing, especially with guests new to Korean cuisine, and Ohyang Jokbal (오향족발), flavourful five-spice pig’s feet. The portions were generous and satisfying. Whether you’re already a fan of Korean cuisine or looking to try it for the first time, Golden Castle is a solid choice and well worth a visit!”

“Honestly the best bubble tea in Auckland. The fact that the food is incredible too makes this our favorite restaurant. Highly recommend the fruit slushies with yogurt or cream foam and for food you can't go wrong with one of their General Tsao's Chicken or Black Bean Beef dishes.”

“So peak. Get the 70 cent potatoes for a great deal”

“Snapper fresh and chips cooked just right. Squid rings crumbed and really light and tender. We have tried a lot of chippies in the area and Tat Sth but this is by far the best”

“Lovely food, been our go too Chinese takeaway for over 30yrs, the best deep fried won tons in the southern hemisphere....”

“Always great friendly place to call into on our way out with friends. Or just going home after a long day out. The staff are helpful and very friendly always”

“Typical Chinese fast food restaurant. Their spicy chicken noodles was delicious. The large portion was really large and could be for sharing. Otherwise, you can eat it alone and be really full. Lamb soup was also tasty. They have fine texture of noodles, which can be substituted by glass or thin noodles. Prices are affordable and very generous servings.”

“Great service when entered & while eating Food didn't take long to come out Taste of food was beautiful very flavoursom with generous size to share ✴️The butchers block that was huge size able to feed up to 8 ppl although could of done with a side of garden salad & the colsaw as the colsaw was to rich on its own & it was runny needing to be in a bowl but yes different salad to break the meat would of been nice, yes all the meat tasty & tender yes worth a block ppl ✴️The blacksmith cheeseburger was OK needed more mayo or burger sauce was a bit dry biting into it , was expecting cheesy flavor couldn't finding in the bite. ✴️Surf n Turf was on par with cooking steak medium rare prawns & muscles done right ✅️ just needed a bit more salad & sauce. ✴️ Ceasars salad✅️ beautiful meaty & tasty It Complemented the butcher block had shared it around so worth. ✴️ mash potatoe was very tasty & smooth shared between 3ppl was beautiful ✅️ ✴️ Garlic pizza bread was tasty ✅️ but would of just got a normal Garlic bread. ✴️ Jug of coke & raspberry costly & when got to taste had no fizz it tasted flat had advised the waitress she had bought out a new jug . When sitting and talking towards end of the meal felt rushed with waitresses coming in interrupted conversations by asking to take thing off the table & the supervisors other waiters lingering around the bar area to where they could advise waitresses of emptying tables to get ppl out sooner they got in . It was like that when eating we were seated not far and could see they were lingering around it was uncomfortable. If they could spread out or hang back in backhouse it wouldn't feel weird. Other than that would definitely go back & highly recommend but find seating further from bar area.”

“Before it was a Takeaway it was a video store in the 90s. We used to go here before and after Intermediate to buy lollies and play video games good times”
