Restaurant in New Zealand

“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!”

“The food is great and the service is lovely. It’s not the cheapest option for Asian food, especially compared to nearby places, but if you’re happy to pay a bit more for quality, this is the on”

“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”

“The salmon avocado sushi roll and smoked salmon nigiri fried tofu rice was my favourite. The salmon is really fresh and the service is extremely friendly”

“Very nice dinner, it was fresh and chips were perfectly crispy. After reading reviews saying the fish was smelly it made me think that it might not be nice but the snapper we had was good.”

“Flavour House is my favorite Chinese restaurant. The chicken dumplings in Sichuan-style sauce were flavorful and perfectly spiced. The authentic Chinese fried rice was delicious, and the cucumber salad was refreshing. Great food at reasonable prices.”

“It had been far too long since our last visit! The food remains exceptional, and the service is still top-notch. The entire menu is delicious, but the eggs benedict section is bloody good.”

“The best sushi!! So sad they’re closing”

“Fantastic Sunday lunch stop after a day in the city. I had 20 chicken and leek dumplings, all I could eat, and change from $20. Highly recommended!”

“This is my new go to fish and chip shop. Fish of the day and hoki both at $3, an affordable add on to any combo (also reasonably priced). The fish batter was light and fresh, not too oily. The chips were nice and crispy. You can add your choice of salt. The burger was also delicious. I opted for the trevally raw fish and it was 10/10. Tons of parking, and ample space to dine in. Would highly recommend this spot.”

“Authentic food and huge portions. Went here for a quick lunch and service was really good, didn’t have to wait long at all. The food was full of flavour and once again, the meals were massive. Will definitely go back.”

“The food here is always very very good, typically I would order a large roast pork meal and everything tastes very good. Good temperature and fresh ingredients. Just be mindful though, it says they are open until 9pm but this is probably not accurate. Last time I went there at 8.15pm and they were already getting ready to close up the shop, they were no longer serving food anymore and I was unable to order anything. That would be my only complaint though, aside from this the food was always very good quality!”

“The dish is delicious The noodle soup is rich and salty properly done The portion is huge so the noodles start bouncy and chewy and getting sotfer and melting through out the meal The chef is professional and friendly Overall very good experience The price is very good compare to the dish size Highly recommended”

“#Korean restaurant# Small restaurant with great Korean food！ Strongly recommend the soups，such as fish roe、beef、pork and tofu. Reasonable price and generous portions.”

“The interior design and layout is so nice. It made me feel like I was in China. A variety of different things to put in your soup. I love the soup, it was so delicious. The lamb and beef skewers were nice. I love the chilli oil you guys have, it tasted absolutely amazing. The ice cream was good too, wish there was other choices though. The staff were friendly and always willing to check up on you and give you a hand. I want to come back again, but it is a bit expensive though. However, I think the quality of food here is really good so hopefully one day I will come back. Highly recommend this place for good quality foods and perfect for winter. Thank you!”

“Best of best — Shanghai steamed soup pork bun, they have amazing Shanghai food but the pork bun is the one must try. I have friends willing travel 45 km to visit this shop just for the —Shanghai steamed soup pork bun —— make sure you book before you go to avoid the disappointment——- yes , you need to book —-VH”
