“Been wanting to go here for a while now, and it absolutely lived up to my hype! Quaint 80s/90s American Diner type place and that vibe is immaculate, combined with the feeling of being in a busy little eatery in Japan. Runs like clockwork, too. Their "Dr Pepper" burger is unbelievably good! Already packed with so many good quality & some interesting ingredients... and then the jus they top it off with is so flavourful and much in quantity, makes this burger unlike any other. Bit messy to eat but thoroughly enjoyable and super filling, especially with the plenty of very well seasoned fries you get for $3 extra. Their handmade Creamy Chicken and Bacon pasta is also fantastic - simple ingredients, perfect cook and exactly what they say they are; nothing more or less. Very reasonably priced, just considering the quantities of the servings and quality of ingredients & cook, but the flavour especially stole the show and made it well worth the cost!”

“Awesome burger bar! Enjoyed the food and the service was fantastic. Great location. Highly recommend”

“Had an awesome time with my family celebrating Mother’s Day at Me Thai and left feeling full from the great food especially the lamb massaman, the soft shell crabs, chicken satay etc”

“I lived across the road for about 8 months and frequently visited Vero Cafe. I can honestly say it's my favourite Cafe in Auckland! The owners are very friendly and the food is fantastic. Sitting outside in the sun and enjoying their delicious all-day breakfast and great coffee was the highlight of my day.”

“LOVE THIS KEBAB SHOP! The food is good especially the chicken so crispy, juicy and tasty. Kebab was very delicious lots of choices for sauce too. Friendly staff with good humour and clean shop. Highly recommended!!!!”

“I had Hawaiian Lamb Avo and my son had Bluecheese chicken Burger omg one bite so bloody good. I have tasted lots of burgers in Nz but this place cmon living whole of my life in south side and I didnt know about this place. Come and try . Best thing was lettuce tomatoe buns everything was fresh. Beautifully packed and served by a lovely Lady in store. Love it will be back.”

“Had lunch on Monday, food was delicious. Service was very attentive and thoughtful. We were offered blankets if we were too cold and complimentary hot water with lemon. Food was excellent, great flavor, texture and value. Had lychee pork, tofu salad, wings, their plain 'burrito' and tried their homemade kimchi. All were delicious. My recommendation - nothing here is that spicy, if you can handle pepper you'll be fine. The wings (pictured) was one of the spiciest items on the menu but I found it less spicy than sriracha which they provided. This is not a bad thing, try all the items without fear of spice. Will go back again. Worth a visit!”

“The sushi was delicious, with tender chicken and perfectly seasoned rice. The katsu chicken rice bowl had crispy, juicy chicken and flavorful rice. Both dishes were tasty and nicely presented. Highly recommended!”

“This was a great meal to end our time in New Zealand. The restaurant has a nice and calm atmosphere and the service was excellent. The fish and chips meal was great and the vanilla latte and feijoa kombucha were the perfect topper to a wonderful meal. (I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the meal!)”

“I'd heard about this place and made the trip across Auckland and was not disappointed! The Rosier burger had everything a burger needs and the cheeseburger was amazing too! Will be back. Love the bbq rubs and sauces available over the counter too!”

“Wow! What an awesome find! This is easily the best Thai restaurant in Auckland. Our favourite mains are the Pad see ew and Green curry, both are always so delicious and fresh. Highly recommend their money bags as an appetizer! Everything is cooked to perfection. The owners are amazing and so friendly. We also called on Top Ten to cater for an event, and they went above and beyond for us. Their portions were generous and the price was great too. Thank you!”

“Was visiting the area and ended up trying this restaurant for lunch. Was an excellent choice with amazing food and great service. The goat curry and chicken dum biryani was really good. The Desi style butter chicken quite good too as it wasn't sweet at all. Would definitely like to revisit and try other items on the menu.”

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

“Amazing coffee and cheese scone! would recommend booking in advance as on weekend they can get very busy, lucky to get a table without booking the other day. had salmon dish and creamed paua, the price is def higher for the portion you get but the quality and taste makes up for it. and the coffee is def the best in Auckland imo, I would come back even just for a cup of coffee and cheese scone. They are also pet friendly, so easy to take your dog walking around marina afterwards”
