“I recently dined at Langkawi Restaurant in Auckland and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was bursting with authentic Malaysian flavors, and the service was warm and welcoming. I ordered the **Hainanese Chicken on Rice** and the **Banana Prawn Laksa**, and both dishes were outstanding. The **Hainanese Chicken on Rice** was a standout – the chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, perfectly paired with fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth. The accompanying sauces (ginger, chili, and soy) added layers of flavor that made every bite a delight. It’s a simple dish, but Langkawi executed it flawlessly. The **Banana Prawn Laksa** was equally impressive. The broth was rich, creamy, and packed with a beautiful balance of spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors. The prawns were fresh and succulent, and the noodles had the perfect texture. Every spoonful was a comforting explosion of taste – it’s easily one of the best laksas I’ve had in Auckland. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was thoughtful, making the meal feel special. The restaurant itself has a cozy, inviting atmosphere, and the staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall great experience. If you’re craving authentic Malaysian cuisine, Langkawi is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes from their menu. Highly recommend the Hainanese Chicken and Banana Prawn Laksa – you won’t be disappointed!”

“Very good wok fry dishes and good at proportion and pricing”

“Very tasty food and we were both enjoying our dining experience. Will go back to try the buffet next time .”

“5 stars all round. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. The service was quick and efficient. The food was AMAZING, this is my second time eating at this restaurant and I will definitely be coming back! I have tried the pad Thai, Tom yum, green curry, squid tentacles. The portions are massive and the prices are very cheap. I make the mistake of ordering entrees and can’t finish my main. The pina coladas are genuinely the best iv ever had and only $10!! I live on the coast but make the journey to Albany because it’s worth it :)”

“Super yummy! The gnocchi is absolutely delicious, got it with the creamy avocado and chicken sauce. The pizza is also great, plentiful with toppings and great portions!”

“Thai friends is one of the most authentic Thai restaurants in Auckland. They do a damn good pad Thai and a killer drunken noodles. Excellent food and excellent service. Sterling Arnet Kakapo Business Sales”

“Lovely portions of food. Service busy but managed to get food out at a reasonable time. Money for value and doesn't cost you the earth. Tasty delicious and well presented. Well done staff and chefs.”

“I have been here a few times but never posted a review before. Lovely food. Very tasty and flavourful. Spring rolls, curry puffs, prawn Penang curry, spicy fried rice, pad Thai and steamed rice. Portion size was meh but this is not your regular Chinese takeaway so don’t expect the same. Overall great food and good service”

“Great japanese experience, had teriyaki don, agadashi tofu and it was amazing, a bit pricey but worth it”

“Delicious BBQ pork spare ribs and Steaks. Good atmosphere for relax or for groups who watching rugby online with big screen. Excellent and Recommended”

“dangerously good tom yum soup, nice and gentle server, lovely candle, cozy vibe, i highly recommend this place!”

“After reading positive reviews about this restaurant, my partner and I decided to give it a try. It exceeded our expectations. The portions were generous, the flavors were delicious, and the prices were reasonable given the quality of service and food. We ordered a mixed appetizer, the red curry, and the stir-fried beef marinated in a flavorful sauce.”

“Takeaway order on Christmas Day - very authentic and amazing food. Drunken noodles was out of this world and so was papaya salad and ginger stir fried.. highly recommend this place”

“I arrived and was greeted straight away. It’s a small restaurant, but it didn’t feel too cramped. We ordered spicy fried rice and spicy noodles with chicken. The food arrived in good time and was very tasty, with nice fresh veggies and noodles/rice perfectly cooked. I highly recommend this place for a great Thai meal. I returned two more nights and ordered the spicy noodles, too. Asian spicy was perfect. I've combined all There are three reviews in this one”

“Amazing quality food. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. My fav local restuant. :)”

“Exceptionally good quality food. Great place to eat and have a good time. Friendly staff.”

“Had a great meal here. By the time we left the restaurant was full, so I would recommend reservations. I ordered a dish off the menu and asked if they could modify it substantially, which they did, not all restaurants are this accommodating. My friends and I thought the food was delicious and was prepared to the individually requested spice level, which is always important Highly recommended”

“It's my favorite indian food place. The food is always nice, quick service, good deal price and friendly hospitality. BYO wine, but they also have the wine and beer selection menu. We had chicken tikka as a starter. Main dishes were butter fish, mango chicken, lamb rogan josh, and cheese naan. It was so delicious.”

“I am so mad that ive left it so long to eat here! Honestly one of the best curries ive ever had, beautiful rich flavors, perfectly cooked meat and perfect heat! Even my daughters butter chicken which im usually not a fan of at all, had so much depth and more flavor than ive ever had in a butter chicken. Max, sir you are a gentleman and I appreciate you taking the time to talk about your flavors as well and for having such a friendly and inviting attitude. Amazing food, amazing service all round couldn't be happier and this will most definitely our go to from now on.”

“This is one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to in the North Shore and probably Auckland. The foods flavour was really good. My friends got a variety of dishes; and all tasted perfect. The meals were very reasonable priced, the portion sizes were large. During the meal, the kind lady (owner I’m guessing) asked us multiple times if we needed more rice or extras. There was a few other people coming in and out, as they were picking up their takeaway meals, which proves it’s popular with the locals. I have seen some of the other reviews and this place is deserving of them all. I definitely would eat here again!”

“Double Happy gives you great value for money. The food is delicious, and always cooked fresh. The place is simple but very clean. If you’re dining in, cutlery, condiments and free tea are self-service. My favourite dish from here is the Stir Fried Pork Belly with Cabbage (extra spicy), highly recommend.”

“Love this place! Have been coming here most weeks for the past few months. The food is always great, our go to is the Pho! My favorite is the Pork Pho and my partners is the Meat Combination. Great prices and full of flavour :)”

“OMG! How did we not find out about this place sooner?!!! It's so close to home and plenty of free parking available nearby. This is a local hidden gem and such a great restaurant for genuine Italian food. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated and was absolutely spotless! Staff were very welcoming, and they went out of their way to ensure that we enjoyed our dining experience. We have never had better garlic pizza bread, as it just melted in your mouth. We both had a prawn cocktail for our entree, which was so packed full of prawns and scrumptious. I was beginning to get a bit full after all this, but I got halfway through an entree size calamari that was also tender and delicious. This is now going to be our new favourite place and if I don't overdo the garlic bread again, perhaps I will even get to try the desserts, too!!!”

“A family favourite serving all the traditional Chinese food we grew up with. The Peking duck was expensive but worth it, though it was strangely quiet for a Sunday.”

“Full of mouth favourite. great special china Changsha Cuisines . Good level of serivce. Just a-bit salted side. Definitely need to match with rice . Recommended for people who love spicy and Chinese food”

“This place has great food, but it's a hole in the wall, almost literally. It opened at noon and you have to go down this long hallway with bottles hanging. You sit on rickety wooden crates, there are 3 different rooms or sections. See if you can get the one in the back it's very laid back. We tried almost Eveything, I'd say you have a hard time finding something that you don't enjoy. Try the thumbs up if you're looking for Pepsi or coke.”

“We came here around 9 years ago and remembering how good it was we brought some friends and it did not disappoint. Our waitress Olive was fabulous, attentive and knowledgeable. The food was all divine. The staff are welcoming and friendly and celebrate you eating all you can. It's easy to get to from the city by catching a ferry as it takes you almost right to the door. This is an experience restaurant that is worth every dollar.”
