Restaurant in New Zealand

“I come from Linwood to buy their Chicken fries noodles. This is my favorite Chinese one anytime in Christchurch.”

“Who would think an airport hotel would provide one of the finest dining experiences we had in 2 weeks of travelling Southland? Attentive personal service from a gorgeous host. Perfect lamb dukkha and fish. Finished off with dessert. Leaving NZ very satisfied thank you Chef and hostess. If you don’t stay here - drop by for dinner.”

“It’s really delicious — I’ve been here several times already.”

“My partner and I came here for our anniversary dinner. The food was very reasonably priced, pretty classic food menu. We even got a free dessert as I mentioned it was our anniversary. Very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere with a lovely view! Will definitely be back!”

“Dined in for yum cha on a weekday. The service was so warm and hospitable, it felt like being welcomed into someone’s house. Very leisurely vibes with retiree locals and regulars rolling in and staying awhile. The radish cake was very tasty and dumplings were crammed with filling. Located on a main road but can be easily accessed via James Street, past the back of the Mobil petrol station.”

“This Chinese restaurant is underrated. The location is by the shopping centre car-park, so it’s not visibly obvious from the main road. The food (particularly vegetable dishes) is exquisite. I recommend Eggs fried with tomatoes (西红柿炒鸡蛋), it’s a Chinese common dish, but it’s the best that I’ve tasted anywhere. I also recommend eggplant stir fried with beans. Nice atmosphere as well. They also do a typical northern Chinese breakfast in the morning.”

“I was blown away by the dishes. All the ingredients were fresh and deliciously prepared. Service was friendly and fast too. This was a truly mouthwatering and memorable meal at a good price. Highly recommend it!”

“The place is full-packed and yet the service is still fast. Delicious food.”

“Enjoyed the complimentary breakfast buffet whilst staying at the James Cook hotel- we are a family of 7 so that helped us save a lot. Staff are great and welcoming. They have the best pancakes freshly made to order. We did have dinner one night where kids got to eat free with every paying adult but I found $65 to be quite excessive for the quality of food. Service was still great though:-)”

“I stayed at the hotel many times. Only really have breakfasts but this weekend I tried their dinner buffets (Fri & Sat only). It was fabulous nice food selection and of great quality. Hopefully this buffet will continue and I will most certainly return.”

“Beautiful eatery with polite staff and clean facilities. Food was splendid and well priced. In house dumplings were fantastic!”

“We often stay at the nova tel when in Wellington so we do dinner at the caucus restaurant Only a small menu but seasonal and changes offer Tonight was breads and dip, scotch fillet with a side of short rib The scotch was ever so slightly over done for me but still good and the short rib was amazing melt in your mouth We got the sides of pumpkin , carrots and chips And finished it off with the pistachio cake Good food and good service from Noee and Mereana”

“A young man who worked there treated me very nicely and the food was Amazing!!!”

“Good and friendly service! The food was delicious, I recommend to try the cheesecake!!!”

“I decided to try The Cut and found their lunch special. The staff was very accommodating with my preferences and allergies, I'm pretty sure the chef checked on me. I told him it was nice to get a cheeseburger with crispy bacon and while the burger was messy it as very good. I also enjoyed the side salad of spinach, cabbage and cucumber that was very good and crunchy. I didn't want potatoes usually served along side and it was a good decision. I was only able to eat half my burger before I had to leave because of my allergies. I enjoyed the other half a couple hours later after it had set and wasn't so messy and the remainder of the burger for dinner. I really enjoyed this burger and can leave Auckland sastified.”

“I went to this restaurant for my birthday dinner with my partner, and from the very beginning, everything was full of beautiful details. Ayush, the manager, made sure we had the perfect table, and the staff members were absolutely adorable. Muni and Rohan checked on us throughout the night to make sure everything was perfect. We chose the eye fillet as our main, and it was absolutely delicious — cooked to perfection and a very generous portion. The food was just as impressive as the service. The final touch — the team surprising me by singing and bringing a small cake with ice cream — was the cherry on top of an unforgettable birthday dinner. I truly want to congratulate Ayush and the entire team for the exceptional service they are providing to their customers. Muni and Rohan were outstanding, and their kindness made the night even more special. This place truly has everything you need for a fantastic experience. More than recommended!”

“delicious food!! size was pretty massive, we were there when they almost close, but they let us in and cook for us. very kind gesture. we ordered a bunch of food and couldn't finish it. the highlight is their congee, i really enjoy their century egg congee. full of eggs inside. their yumcha also very nice. i would recommend this place.”

“Best korma I think I have ever had! If you’d normally go for a medium - get hot, it’s amazing and still had so much flavour! Really generous portion sizes and really well priced”

“Excellent service, great food, good wine list, great ambiance ,Not so crowded ie tables are well spaced) and noisy so conversation is easy, and a good place to discuss matters over a meal. Recommended for those who have difficulty hearing.”

“We went there just yesterday for an early dinner as we had an early flight this morning. The lovely waitress pulled out our chairs, brought water to the table etc. We ordered a certain type of sandwich which they did not have available, but she got the kitchen to make up a club type toasted sandwich instead. It was amazing!! Wonderful service, nice quiet ambiance, very impressed ☺️☺️☺️”
