Food establishment in New Zealand

“Tieke Bistro & Bar is a hidden gem in Tamahere. The view over the golf course is stunning, the service was warm and attentive, and the food—especially the Big Breakfast and Thai Chicken Bowl—was fresh and beautifully presented. Booking through First Table made it even better. We’ll definitely be back!”

“The best sushi in Hamilton, if not NZ! Very friendly staff, great sushi and noodles and very affordable. Love thus place!”

“Outstanding food! The Wontons are my crack. The sweet and sour Chicken is my lover. The burgers here are also really good, and they have outstanding Thickshakes! This is one of only two fish and chip shops in Hamilton, I like and recommend! These guys are a neighbourhood gem and are criminally underrated. The fish is fresh and flaky, the salt ratio is perfect and they have so many options, that you'll never get bored either! I felt like everything, so I had a UK style Cheeky Chinese, with sweet and sour, crunchy chips, Wontons and a sneaky piece of fish. My lord. What a spot smasher!”

“The food was fantastic, I had the ribs with creamy mash and a fresh salad. My daughter had the large seafood chowder with bread and butter. My ribs were OMG delicious the sauce was special nothing I could identify but were sweet and tasty hugging on to super soft gelatinous ribs, my mouths watering just remembering. The staff were friendly and efficient and the chefs were knowledgeable and kind too so if you are hungry and want a delicious and sizeable meal this is the place to visit. My only poor comment would be the bathrooms they need revamping and new facilities would be perfect. Was an awesome drive to KatiKati and the Talisman bar completed our trip nicely.”

On the plate at Meltingpot Tauranga City, the idea is classic fish‑and‑chips and well judged. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. Fries and sides round things out neatly. Portions suit sharing without tipping heavy.

The Black Oven leans into a burger‑led approach without the fuss. Sides support without crowding the plate. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go. Buns hold well and patties come juicy. There’s a...

Joy Sushi is a compact Waihi sushi shop known for freshly made cabinet sushi. Selections change through the day and can include rolls, nigiri and rice‑ball snacks for an easy grab‑and‑go lunch.

Tony's Cafe and Kebabs - Fully Licensed delivers a kebab and pita offering that’s straight to the point. Service moves quickly through the morning rush. Eggs land on point and toast stays crisp. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“I love The Wave Cafe! It is such a great option for a toastie, coffee, smoothie or ice cream! The real fruit ice cream is A plus and the staff are always friendly! Service with a smile at my fav beach spot to check the surf.”

“We regularly use these kennels for our two dogs and have always found it a positive experience. The owner and staff are so accommodating with our bookings and any specific requests. Our dogs love staying there and become so excited as soon as we get to the driveway. There is a large grassed area where the dogs are let out of their kennels several times a day and socialised with other similar sized dogs. The food is of a high quality or you are welcome to bring your own. The dogs come home clearly having been well cared for by the passionate and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend using Pet2us.”

The kitchen at Everyday Sushi Day takes a simple, bistro-style path and lets the food speak. Wait times are contained even when busy. Pricing lines up with the offer. Team members keep things friendly and on task.

“Mamas Donuts are by far the best ive had. The ladys there are awesome and they have a wide variety of selections. I could not recommend them more ❤️”

“Coffee & Food --- both 10 out of 10. Coffee is not only delicious, it is also well presented(golden cream color & shape well drawn). I had toast sandwich today with up to 3 fillings only cost me $8! So delicious & great value for money. Let alone eating inside the most beautiful building of Dunedin so much like some of the arty buildings in lower Manhattan New York city. Love this place & will become my regular cafe now”

“I come in here most weeks with my father. We both love the food. Good portions and a reasonable price.”

So Bao runs with a burger-led menu and a relaxed feel. Curries carry clear spice and warmth. Grill work shows a clean sear and rested meats. Value feels fair for the spread. Good value shows in the se...

Mamma Mia Pizza delivers a pizza-first offering that’s straight to the point. A sensible spend for the quality. Team members keep things friendly and on task. Portions are generous yet well judged. Or...

“One of the best bakerys in Auckland hands down have been a loyal customer here for many years, a lovely family run business with great pricing and really tasty food they're always welcoming and friendly. I'm gutted to have to be moving out of Auckland they're 100% a community staple in my opinion and are worth trying out.”

“Although we live just up the road, been coming here since I was a kid for over a decade and always loved coming here because we’ve always had great experiences with the shopkeepers here! Willy also is a great guy and he’s always super positive.”

“Outstanding establishment! Pleasantly surprised by how excellent the food and service was. The chef/owner went above and beyond. Felt like I was back in Japan ☺️”

“Top notch establishment. Vodka in the fridge ready for me. Uncle donald would be proud”

“Very good coffee, friendly service, attentive staff. Straight forward menu with no issue to modify any selection. Price is very reasonable as well. Top notch.”

“Good service happy workers good dairy highly recommend”

“I love this place especially the vibrant Thai woman behind the counter who just is always enthusiastic with every customer. What sets this bakery apart is the variety of food available. This is my 'go to bakery' in the weekends if I feel I need for a nice hit of savouries and sweets.”

“Flatwhite tastes perfect. They are using Roma coffee beans. I am so glad that I can have Roma coffee near my house.”

“My fave sushi shop ever, so fresh, rice is always on point and the staff always sooo lovely definitely worth going here A+++”

“Favourite place to get sushi! The flavour is awesome and the staff here are friendly. The sushi isn’t too expensive and fairly priced. You won’t be disappointed!”

“We love the variety of fresh sushi here — have visited quite a few times since we moved to Howick. The staff are very friendly too and even made up a quick sushi selection for me when they had only just opened. A+”

“By far the best selection of Sushi in Newmarket. I truly rate their Bento boxes for price and selection of items. A longstanding business in Newmarket who have retained their quality”

“Thai noodle has the best chicken pad Thai ever!!! I have been coming here for years and every single time it is absolutely incredible. Amazing portion size too!”

“So much better done up Wish there was after work drink specials”
