Restaurant in New Zealand

“Best kept secret. We were looking around for a place to eat and came upon this place. Best Tom yum in town and their pork chop with rice was great too. Price is surprisingly cheap. Will surely come back when we’re in the area.”

“Food was amazing! I loved the coffee cured kingi. Light and satisfying, perfect for warm days. My friends enjoyed their pork belly bites a lot too. Would definitely come back asap.”

“I am a pizza reviewer from Vancouver, BC. Good dough, nice salt level. Crust is crusty, dough has been fermented and rested. Shape is held when folded. Sauce is very good. 5/5 Margherita pizza. Pasta alle vongole was also very good! Perfect spice level. 5/5. I would visit again :)”

“Beautiful family business. I arrived with my infant son for a very late lunch and they were still open which was incredible. They are so welcoming, friendly, accommodating and generous. 11/10 and will be a returning customer again and again.”

“One of the best sushi places in Auckland. The ingredients are fresh and in generous portions, and there's a great selection of flavours. The tables in the courtyard are fabulous to sit in the sun and people watch. Would recommend.”

“Most delicious pizza’s we ever had.love the ambience, love the taste.”

“I had heard a lot about Lucky Gs and their reputation as the best burger spot in New Zealand, so my wife and I decided to check it out. It's located near Kelston Mall, and there was plenty of street parking available, so we had no trouble finding a spot. It was Sunday afternoon, and the place was buzzing with people dining in and grabbing takeaways. The interior looked amazing. Lots of cool decorations and photos that gave the place a great vibe. The staff were super friendly and enjoyed what they did, which made the atmosphere even livelier. As for the burgers, they lived up to the hype. My wife had the Little G - a tasty, smaller burger that wasn’t too juicy but still really flavourful. I went for the burger with jalapeños and loved the spicy kick. We added a combo for $7, and the potato chips were perfectly cooked. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and can't wait to come back and try more of their burgers!”

“My favourite place in the neighbourhood. The sushi is fresh and the staff are very kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!”

“Authentic Thai restaurant in Browns Bay The food here is the real deal - very fresh ingredients cooked by Thai chefs. The flavours perfectly matched to each meal. Staff are friendly with quick service. I recommend all the dishes we had and more!”

“The best place for breakfast & lunch on Waiheke Island! Lovely spot with few seats outside, offering stellar breakfasts with REAL french patisserie goods (only place we got a like-in-Paris croissant in weeks...), as well as yummy sandwiches & burgers around lunchtime. Prices significantly lower than rest of the island while the food is better here. We came back twice during our three day-stay on the island!”

“I don't know how many of you know about this hidden gem. This Filipino BBQ restaurant is yum and charm, especially to the meat lovers you really don't want to miss it. Upper Queen right opposite the park, small venue but very worth the penny you pay. Great Filipino hospitality, one person to handle almost everything still wear his natural smile. The pork ribs, steak and the adolbo (Filipino slow cooked pork ribs) are the three recommendations you must try.”

“Amazing food! The owner is so nice and kind. Offered himself to take a photo of us. Creamiest pasta I've ever had.”

“I got 2 food items for around 20 dollars each, my whole party loved it here, the atmosphere felt very good and I especially loved the spoon that i used for my Ramen 10/10 would go there again”

“Mark served us at the front counter – absolute legend. Super friendly and made the experience even better. The food was great as always. Definitely coming back more often! Point Chev Burger Fuel!”

“We came to Devonport for a day trip and had a late lunch at Devonport Indian Hub. The staff greeted us warmly and even entertained our kids with snacks and balloons, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was absolutely delicious — we ordered the deal of 4 dishes for only $75, and it was great value as wecwere 4 adults with 2 kids. Their customer service is outstanding, and the team is very friendly. They even let our kids play around, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We loved the people here and highly recommend this place!”

“The spicy chicken was nice and smokey. Owners were friendly, and lots of quick sushi and Japanese cabinet snacks readily available.”

“It was my first time at a vegan restaurant but I did enjoy my meal. We left it up to the chef and chose the big feast option which is $59pp (minimum 2 people) and a wine pairing for 1 person $35. I was so stuffed I had to go for a walk afterwards.”

“Absolutely delicious! This place serves an amazing variety of authentic Indonesian dishes. Our favorites are the mie ayam komplit and the soto .Every bite feels comforting and made with love. The owners, Mba Tina and her husband Riko, are incredibly friendly. They always welcome us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality.”

“Most authentic taste of Chengdu in Auckland”

Nice chicken keeps things pan‑Asian comfort and focused on flavour. Views add a quiet lift to the visit. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz. Service stays present without fuss. Stir‑fries keep go...

“Really tasty food, well balanced flavours. Love the ratio of meat, rice and salad. My partner doesn't eat salad so I happily had his share. So glad they had a pop up at Smales Farm but wished they could stay longer. The spaghetti and chicken was tasty too! Highly recommend the adobo, lechon and inasal.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Food and Exceptional Hospitality! I recently visited Spice Avenue, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the Tamil Nadu–style chicken curry with butter naan, and it was absolutely delicious — full of authentic flavor and perfectly cooked. But what truly made my visit special was the kindness and humility of the manager. When I was about to leave, it started raining heavily. Seeing that, he kindly offered to drop me wherever I needed to go. Even when I said I would wait outside, he came again and genuinely insisted on giving me a ride in his car. It’s rare to find such good food paired with such a good-hearted person. The manager’s care and hospitality made me feel truly valued as a guest. I highly recommend Spice Avenue to anyone looking not just for a great meal, but also a warm and memorable experience.”

“One of the absolute best burger joints in town. With an all vegan menu, their food is the pick if the crop when it comes to eating out. Never have I been disappointed by the food I've got. On top of that the staff are super friendly and the atmosphere of the venue is top notch. Whether you're vegan or not, this is a foodie spot everyone should make the time to visit.”

“A hidden gem, the pizza was amazing. The bases were soft and fluffy. They only accept cash, you can take your own drinks, they have a few basics available. They were also selling freshly squeezed apple juice. Highly recommend. Don't forget to pre-order the bases very early in the week.”

“Good price, good sushi, great service. Now becomes my go to place for lunch”

“Simply the best restaurant I have been to, food was beautiful both in taste and visually. The story made it a much fuller experience, with even the music chosen to supplement this. Waiters were also fabulous. Booked to return the same evening, just a shame we have to wait until April, can’t wait for the next tale and food journey!”

“This is a very special place. All were welcome and treated with respect. The food was great, especially the bread in the starter. The service was amazing. Our server shared her passion for volunteering and helped us connect with the mission of the place. Thank you to everyone who contributes to this venture.”

““No gods or kings, only cocktails.” The vibes here are super chill—perfect if you’re after something more lowkey. The place seems inspired by fantasy themes and games, giving it a mystical feel. We arrived as a group of four around 10:00 pm on a Saturday. The person serving us was really lovely, taking the time to explain the different types of drinks they offer and happily answering our questions about specific liquors or custom requests. She also made some great recommendations. We ordered the White Witch, Banana Bread (brandy), Arkangel (gin), and The Last Word (I think that’s what it was called—Chartreuse-based). I especially enjoyed how fragrant the cocktails were, with the Banana Bread and Arkangel standing out. It was also cool to learn that they make a lot of their liquors and mixers in-house— including infused boozy cucumbers. We had a great time and really appreciated the hospitality. Would definitely love to visit again next time I’m in Wellington.”

“My wife and I stumbled upon this restaurant while searching for a lunch spot near my hotel on a Monday. Located in a corner of the food court, up the escalator next to Countdown, it immediately caught my eye. Seeing others confidently head there reassured me of my choice. A friendly staff member introduced us to the menu, and we opted for kimpa and a standard-size bibimbap. The bibimbap, though a short wait, was beautifully presented and delicious—wishing we had ordered the larger size. The kimpa was also excellent. We’ll definitely return next time we’re in Wellington.”

“One of Wellington's hidden gems — absolutely amazing food and drink, catering to anyone's dietary requirements. Edit 2020/12/01: As of 8 months later, the food is even more amazing — a testament how the staff always welcome constructive criticism and use it to continually improve. Definitely recommended!”
