“I can see this being a real local charmer, the staff at the counter recognise its frequent visitors meaning they've got a reputation in the community, for me i ordered a delightful cured salmon and beetroot salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. We also ordered a creamy mushroom and that was devine, I'd recommend it”

“Mine and hub’s favourite local spot for fish and chips and especially chicken nibbles. The chicken nibbles have a tasty marinade in a crunchy batter. They’re so juicy and just friggin delish!”

“Just arrived for first time. This market should be open till morning. No night life in auckland. But this place quit good. Seems like street food corner. Enjoyed.”

“Best food plus chicken burger loved it n everything else as well”

“ORDERED: 1x Paua and Fry bread - $17.00 1x Double Cheese Paua Smash Burger - $18.00 1x Small Fries -$5.00 This was my first time, came with the Mrs. We came late in the afternoon as well, 2:55pm on a Sunday. Service was GREAT! Food was SUPERB. I cannot explain but I haven't had a great food experience like that in ages. The burger was too much for for me, but the taste is out of this world. Paua and fry bread had us gagging for more. We couldn't believe the taste. Great job Team Captain Kai Moana!! We definitely will be back!!”

“Delicious sushi, and with so much flavour variety you don't see anywhere else! Tastes fresh, would highly recommend.”

“Love the aesthetics. Food is hearty and reminds me of home. Would recommend dining in here for lunch! Especially with friends!”

“Spicy crispy chicken on rice is very tasty.”

“If you haven't been to this cafe, then you're missing something very good in Beachhaven. I think it has new ownership and they deserve to survive. The coffee is great. It's Altura my husband's favourite. Lots of people were coming and going, which is good to see. The food could have been at any five-star establishment.”

“My family's favourite takeaway in the Shore. Even if we moved out from the Glenfield area, we still get our food here. Service is efficient. Food is yum!”

“I came here with a couple friends cuz they recommended it to me. I tried their black bean sauce noodle with seafood! Soo good! Such a hidden gem tucked away in front of the library. Most people would definitely pass by without knowing this place exists. Definitely give it a try! Great service and vibe as well!”

“Great place, loads of bars in browns bay but this one has a bit of character and the prices are the best around . Really nice friendly staff. Propa decent bit of food and portions are massive especially the hake and chips I think. If your just passing through I honestly recommend coming here for few beers and food.”

“Top notch customer service with very friendly team. We were served by Sophia who answered our queries about the menu and also was kind enough to take our photo. Its always a delight to come to Elephant Wrestler especially for big groups. They have plenty of space and kid-friendly atmosphere during lunch time. There’s a variety of food to choose from, always tasty, fresh and never dry. We enjoyed the pork belly and sirloin steak. Tiramisu is a must-have for dessert! We will definitely come back again.”

“Authentic Thai food in Auckland. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Highly recommended restaurant if you are after Authentic Thai food.”

“I've been coming here for years. Easily the best Thai food I've had in NZ! Personally I love the stir fried fresh ginger with tofu and I ask for medium spicy. I could eat it every night. Yum!”

“First time trying Kongs Kitchen! We ordered a wonton noodle soup and duck on rice. Wow. Everything was beautiful! So affordable and delicious! Wonton noodle soup: the best in Onehunga. Period. Broth is clear as it should be and tastes like something that will heal your soul. Slightly peppery and full of depth. The wontons were delicious! Very fresh porky flavour and the noodles were super bouncy and chewy, not soggy at all!!! Duck on rice: absolutely delicious. Duck was served with white rice, cabbage and drizzled over with a beautiful sauce. I wish I had taken a photo before I ate but i literally inhaled the food as soon as it arrived My new fave spot! I wish I knew about this spot earlier!!”

“10/10 food and service. Can speak English and chinese very fluently. Don't let the amount of Chinese spoken here bother you. Any western people are more than welcome to eat here. Food felt incredibly healthy with the way they cook food here. Service was superb. The atmosphere can get a bit noisy but that depends on the customers. Other than that 10/10 place would recommend for anyone to visit. And price is reasonable.”

“This is a small Sushi bar. Because of size the best choice is to order ahead and get them to make to order. They do all the classic Japanese meals and will make pretty much anything to order. They do have a cabinet selection of pick your own but often run low so look up on there website what you feel like and order ahead to save on time. All very yummy made with love and care. They have a few tables and bench seating to eat onsite. Good takeaway packaging to eat where you like.”

“We ordered - chicken bento box - miso ramen - salmon lover sushi platter - yuzu fruit tea (cold) Staff was friendly and quick. I have never had chicken sushi before, so I was very surprised. The Bento box was great and very filling. We also had the Octopus balls and pork Gyoza as appetizers, they did not disappoint. I would venture to guess everything on their menu is amazing. Definitely worth the stop!”

“If you're looking for a good takeaway place, look no further because this place is simply the best. Delicious food with a wide range of options. Every dollar spent is always worth it.”

“Stopped in for breakfast this morning. Hubby had the big brekkie and I had the omelet with tomato, mushroom and ham. Both meals came with a 5 grain toast and we had a large mocha each. 100% the most delicious breakfast we have had in a café for a while. The food was so tasty and the coffee was great. We want to know where to get that 5 grain bread.... that was really good. Thanks team, we will see you again.”

“The best cheap food on Rosebank. Lovely owners. Bacon and egg rolls are great. All the usual lasagne squares, fish, chips etc done well.”

“Have come here for a while now with my siblings - Great spot and perfect for classic takeaway. Never written a review before but the cashier I think Tiff is great. Friendly and positive attitude something I don’t see much in restaurants anymore! Made my night.”

“Great little spot for coffee and breakfast. Staff were friendly and welcoming so will definitely be back.”

“Today I bought vegetable samosa and Naan .Food were very tasty and upto the quality. Very friendly staff and they proposed the best combination to us. Very cost effective and I highly recommend this place for those who wish to taste Indian food flavours. For a weekend eat-outing , this is the economical and tasty food plcace for a family.”

“I ate for the 2nd time and was again very impressed. They will load your kabeb with meat, salads n sauces, and justify the price they ask. Very good and kind staff. Love the food and owners. Highly recommended Chicken Kebab”

“We’d previously avoided Laingholm takeaways since moving here a few years ago because the few instances we tried it was expensive, young and inexperienced staff and the food being overwhelmingly disappointing. This was our first time trying since the new owners and I’m guessing they’ve listened to their reviews. We ordered 1x Smokey bbq burger, 1x spicy chicken, $5 chips & 2x crab sticks. It came to $32 and was ready within 15 minutes. We’ve tried all the burger places in the area and this one will now be our go to. The Smokey bbq burger tasted like it was actually done on the grill to get that Smokey flavour, good amount of bacon and the condiments complimented the burger (not overpowering). Both burgers were fresh like a homemade burger and the chips, could have been more (like the good old days) but they were salted nicely with the right amount of crunch. I’d definitely recommend checking these guys out again. Staff was really quick and pleasant too.”

“I had the lamb works on rice, super tender meat, deliciously fresh salad and piping hot rice! Definitely recommend for a great quick dinner”

“The dishes were not only served promptly but also displayed exceptional taste, reflecting the restaurant's culinary excellence. Moreover, the reasonable prices add to the overall appeal, making it a great choice for those looking for both speed and quality in their dining experience.”

“$1/nibble, tastes better than KFC”
