Restaurant in New Zealand

“Wonton noodles are delicious, I eat them every time I came to the mall.”

“Brilliant roast chicken. 8/10 for many dishes I tried. 10 being world class Chinese. So, that’s impressive. Service was very slow but generous and attentive when you ask. Low cost. Definitely recommend.”

“The good, service and atmosphere was amazing. Staff checked in with us and were very friendly. The food was so delicious and came out fast. Live music was an extra treat”

“Indian restaurant in Ellerslie. A real gem of a restaurant. Can't fault any aspect of this place. The food was delicious, fresh and tasty and the service was very good. We were a party of 11 and all our meals were made within a reasonable time from ordering. The decor really adds to the experience. I look forward to going back when I'm in the country and in the mood for great quality Indian cuisine.”

“Grabbed the Singapore noodles. Have to give this place a try because the portion size was huge and there was plenty of meat & vegetables. Noodles were cooked perfectly with that hit of curry powder. Shop is clean & tidy, best Noodle Canteen spot I’ve tried in my current life.”

“We found ourselves in Birkenhead again, and after having a great experience at Ala Turca, we decided to try something different. That’s when we came across Chef Rasa Sayang, a Malaysian restaurant I had seen recommended on Reddit. At first glance, the place didn’t look particularly inviting, and I almost considered switching to the Korean restaurant next door. But my craving for Malaysian food won, so we gave it a shot—and I’m so glad we did! The menu offered a great variety, and I chose the slow-cooked prawn chili on rice. The rest of my family ordered chicken nasi lemak, beef rendang, and prawn assam. We’ve had nasi lemak and beef rendang at other Malaysian spots in Auckland, but this was our first time trying these other dishes. When the food arrived, we were amazed at the portion sizes—huge servings, and all for under $20 each! The slow-cooked prawns were absolutely divine, and the beef rendang and chicken curry were packed with flavor. The richness of the curry and the depth of the spices were incredible. I’m so glad I didn’t give up and head to the other restaurant. Chef Rasa Sayang has easily become one of my favorite spots on the North Shore. From now on, I’d happily choose Birkenhead over Takapuna for a meal. Highly recommend!”

“Best place in AKL to get ‘Ulundu vada’! If you’re a Sri Lankan looking for the taste of your home, you can’t go wrong with their Ulundu Vada + green chili sauce and a cup of Ceylon tea!”

“The yum cha experience was thoroughly enjoyable! The cuisine was both delicious and authentically prepared, which I greatly appreciated. The service was exemplary, with staff demonstrating a high level of attentiveness and warmth, and the pricing struck me as quite reasonable given the quality provided. There’s a consistent and genuine charm to the place, reminiscent of a well run family establishment. The atmosphere carries a nostalgic 90s essence, creating a cozy and relaxed setting that I found most pleasant. All in all, it was a highly satisfying outing, and I am certainly looking forward to returning in the near future.”

“We went to Okumnandi for a birthday dinner. We sat outside. The speaker that was outside was playing music way too loud so we asked to have it turned down, but for some reason it got louder again which made talking difficult, even with the person directly across from ourselves. The food didn't take long to arrive and it was delicious and had lots of flavour. As most South African cuisine, it was mostly meat based and quite spicy, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The service was great, we had a kind woman serving us who was really helpful and helped point out what we should order and in what order. The food was fairly expensive but it came in huge portions which were meant for sharing. All in all, the food and service was amazing and perfectly shows off the unique South African cuisine that the chefs should be proud of. I would definitely come here again :)”

“Tempura was nicely cooked, udon noodles were fresh and not too soggy. The bento set was good and not too pricey.”

“Wow!!! Best burgers ever!!! Big and juicy. If you have never tried it, you are missing out!!!”

“Love the Chinese food menu. Always a good stop off on the way home when cooking is the last thing on your mind. On the fish and chips great value. They will even cook your own catch for you. On my favourite, it may be the cheapest on the menu but the won-tons and dipping sauce are the best I have had. So good they don't normally make it homel.”

“My partner recommended this restaurant for its dry noodles with peanut sauce, so we decided to visit for dinner on Sunday. We ordered the dry noodles with peanut sauce and dumplings (dandan noodles), kkwobarou, and shrimp fried rice. The noodles were delicious as expected! The peanut sauce paired perfectly with the dumplings. We loved it. The fried rice was quite good and generously portioned. Lastly, the kkwobarou, fried with a layer of glutinous rice, was incredibly tasty and sweet. I really enjoyed it! Overall, we had a great dinner here and this place is highly recommended.”

“If you’re looking for a great kebab spot this is it!! The sweets are amazing, and the doners are perfect and incredibly fresh. The owners are also so lovely and welcoming. This is a must try”

“Everytime I've been here, service is 5 star anyway but this branch and staff is exceptional. I came in with a big order and brought my own container with for them to pack it in and they were more than happy to cater to this. Admittedly feel like St Pierre's is long overdue for an upgrade in terms of their plastic packaging, but there is a work around and they cater. 10/5 stars for service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Exceptional cuisine bursting with flavor. Generous portions are served. Prices range from $18 to $25, but the outstanding quality of the meals makes them well worth the cost. Three of us dined here today and our total bill came to approximately $120. We will undoubtedly return. The team here were friendly and provided good service.”

“visited Flame Pizza on Saturday for lunch and tried their burgers along with some sides, including pizza garlic bread. The burgers were incredibly well-made, fresh, and so tasty — truly impressive! The garlic bread was also delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and they really made my day with their great service. I genuinely appreciate the effort they put into the food and customer service. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be visiting again.”

“Wow what a food, awesome presentation, we ordered Tawa Chicken and Kadhai Paneer. Perfect blend of spices and food was very nice to eat.”

“There's always like 50 of 'em behind the counter churning out these orders and they always hit the nail on the head. I always stick to a spicy fillet burger with extra mayo. no complains there. Actually if I'm being honest the success rate would be like 9/10. With like 1/10 times u just have to chew it in silence hoping next time it'll be a lot better. And it always is.”

“The perfect curry for on the way home after a big job. I ordered mine hot, I'm sure it was euro-hot which was perfect. Thank the chef for me, yummy.”

“This is one of our favourite place for lunch. It is a small place and usually quite crowded. Be early and you will get your table. Though small but sitting was pretty comfortable. Service was friendly and the food was good. The servings were reasonable and the prices were affordable. If you like some simple Chinese food, this may be the place for you.”

“My first order from this branch (tonight) was delicious with fresh toppings and a perfectly made pizza base and sauces. It was made and delivered in under 20 minutes too. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent Japanese restaurant nestled away next to Thai village and new world. Presentation was definitely one of the highlights. Sake served in an interesting container. Food was really good too. Highly recommend the lamb ribs. It's a little spicy but perfect with a little rice.”

“I had the raw beef pho it was absolutely amazing. Huge portion and complimentary spices on the table side to mix things up. The staff had friendly service and I have already started recommending to friends and family. Thank you for running such a great place.”

“It’s once of those hidden gems. No fancy set up/decor, just delicious food, great price point and simple yet friendly service.”

“It's a standard format cafe. I got for one thing, my fave Katsu Chicken on Rice. Always an easy purchase. Place is clean and staff are always willing to help.”

“Second time buying the family tray and it didn’t disappoint. Especially the sweet and sour tasted so good it’s the best sweet and sour I’ve eaten”

“This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience. The diverse menu, coupled with top-notch service, made for an unforgettable meal. The dishes were not only visually stunning but also rich in flavor. I was impressed by the thoughtful presentation and the depth of taste in each dish. Moreover, the ambiance was warm and inviting. I would highly recommend this place to any food lover. Can't wait for my next visit! The new owner is a very nice person.”

“I absolutely love Japanese food, and Daruma Ramen is the best I’ve had so far in Auckland. We’ve been here so many times — it’s become our go-to place for dinner, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, authentic, and comforting. The service is always excellent, and I especially love the robot food server — such a fun and unique touch! The place itself is modest but very comfortable, which makes it even more welcoming.”

“Absolutely love this place! The burgers are always fresh, juicy, and packed with flavour — definitely one of the best burger spots around takapuna”
