Food establishment in Wellington

“Satay Village has been a favourite dine in and take away for my large family and friends for many years! The food and atmosphere is great and the owners Don, Lisa and Wai Man are very friendly, lovely and always welcoming. We will sadly miss coming and seeing you and we wish you all the very best for the future! Thank you from all the BRYAN CLAN Danielle, Kevin and Family and friends!! Caroline & Damian Kells (Singapore) Max and Sam Kells (Singapore) Desiree Stewart and Family Bree and Luke & Family Brigitta Bryan and whole Bryan Family”

“This place never fails. Great food, service, drinks, coffee, parking, public transport- everything! The menu is fab,. But people come for the daily specials. This is shown in a light board. You can check that out as you drive past,as well as check on how busy ( buzzy) it is. They do gluten free with no fuss, kids, no problem ( the 25 yo hipster next me ordered children's menu chicken!). Try it. Think diner/cafe/neighbourhood bistro and you'll get it. Really, have an open mind and enjoy it.”

“Been coming here for years. Brothers are friendly and they treat you well. Good local shop for your local Friday night fish and chips.”

“Fish and chips is very good. Chips are crisp outside and fluffy inside, just the way they should be, and more consistently excellent than some hotels and cafes can manage. The Asian meals are ok, although fried rice was outstanding, generous portions and enough "wok breath" (where the rice has been exposed to sufficient heat in a hot wok long enough so it tastes like fried rice, not just rice warmed in a wok). Service is fine for a takeaway, efficient and polite, can't fairly expect anything more. Make sure your order is repeated back to you to avoid mistakes, especially over the phone, as it's a noisy environment.”

“I originally came in one day with my friend we where abot worried as it was some of our first bars in wellington and we had a lovely night the staff where so incredible and its kept me coming back everytime, all the bartenders have been lovely and chatty to me as always as they do a great job at keeping younger women such as myself and my friends safe the duty managers often are running around and still servicing with a smile which is honestly amazing especially when it's so packed . The staff have made that place what it is, and it's a safe and great place to drink highly recommend.”

“Very nice food I’m really enjoys”

“Amazing fish & chips for a super low price. Definitely recommend. The fish was full of meat and texture and the batter didn't detach from the fish. One chips portion is good for 2 people and the chips are amazing too. Definitely recommend”

“Went here with my date and we both really enjoyed it. The free popcorn at the begining was definitely a highlight and if nothing else, we'll be back for more of that! The Mac and cheese was literally bubbling when it was served and the cauliflower was just awesome. The chicken tenders were great, had a bit of a kick to them that neither of us were expecting but weren't disappointed by either. Our server was friendly and helpful when we had questions. Will definitely be back!!”

“Best curly fries around. Easy to have a conversation and be heard, the coffee is constantly good and recently become almost too pretty to drink.”

“Everyone is super friendly, especially the lady with short hair (who I am sorry I don’t know her name). Get myself going there not even because of the prices, instead because they are super friendly. Well done team!”

“Awesome customer service,produce is always fresh,clean store,great prices heaps of parking”

“Great food, loved the Tacos especially the prawn and pulled pork options. Great selection of Gins from NDC as well.”

“Quaint small restaurant with a good atmosphere. Food was great. We really enjoyed our evening here and would definitely recommend this to other people. The restaurant was very busy the night we visited with a large family group, but the staff remained calm, friendly and upheld good service levels which we were impressed by. They also offer takeaway food which is good to know for my next visit to the Kapiti Coast.”

“We had our wedding at The Waterfront in March 2025 and couldn't be happier with our choice. Zara was involved from the start, bringing a calm, professional approach that made the planning process easy and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, and she used her experience to ensure everything went smoothly. She even took on extra tasks like printing and setup, allowing us to focus on other aspects. The staff were outstanding—proactive and attentive. Our guests raved about the food and overall atmosphere. We highly recommend The Waterfront for any event. They've set a new standard for hospitality on the coast, comparable to the best in Auckland or Melbourne. Keep it up & thank you for everything!!”

“Great spot for a quiet drink. Kitchen was closed but snacks available - enjoyed the Hawaiian pizza”

“I came here a whil ago and was not impressed with the steak. However decided to come today, and i could not fault my scotch fillet steak, cooked med rare, tasted amazing. Long horn double patty burger looked delicious and mouth watering, the patties were cooked to perfection and the flavors awesome. Kids nugget meal, fresh nuggets!! Kidsmeal free on sundays. Customer service, lady was super nice and chef stayed open even when we arrived cutting it close for kitchen to close. Desserts were yumm too.”

“First of all this is a pub not a fancy restaurant - set your expectations accordingly. Having said that the food is excellent value for money and a big range of options on the menu and specials board and an amazing selection of sweets in the cabinet. Have had the "small" beef burger here and it's just spot on, usually can't finish the fries that come with it (hey have small/large sizes that really should be described as big/huge). Friendly service at the counter, clean and tidy premises and what looked like a number of locals in for Monday lunch - clearly popular.”

“Macaroni and mocha were absolutely delicious! Great service as well.”

“Ordered a Pad Thai (Chicken) to takeaway. Was ready earlier than advised and it was delicious. Compared to the competition, it’s as good if not better and the portion size is nearly double that of their competitor. Nice to see shrinkflation hasn’t spread to every business in NZ yet!”

“Friendly staff, didn't have what we wanted but did have a 2nd best.”

“I love the deli section in Silverstream. Amazing doughnuts for a good price. Just look at them !!!”

“We used the function area for a 21st recently.The service and food were outstanding. Staff were very responsive and keen to make our evening as enjoyable as possible. Communication was excellent and the food platters were huge and extremely good value for money. Highly recommended and would hold another event here in the future.”

“Reserved table for 7 for dinner. All ready for us. Great service, problem with my order and I'm pleased to say the manager on duty dealt with my complaint very satisfactorily. Great value.”

“Today me and my friend went into Upper Hutt pita pit and had a lovely experience because of this beautiful young blonde who provided us with phenomenal service. She even helped me decided what meal to purchase. Food was delicious would definitely go again”

“I visited this subway today and had the best experience i have ever had at a subway the girl who served me harper was super fast with making me and my kids subway definitely will be coming back!”

“This place is outstanding. Simple food done extremely well. Flavour with depth. I work and eat all over Wellington and I'd put this up there with the Vietnamese restaurant in New town. Traditional flavours. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. Thanks”

“Watched football and some good softball. Only the weather let things down. Pies from the Ricoh cafe were yummy!!!”

“I went here for lunch yesterday not expecting anything too crazy good, but I was blown away!! The ramen I ordered was the yuzu miso ramen and I added kimchi. It was so delicious! The portion size was perfect and all the flavours melted together beautifully! The broth was really flavourful and the yuzu flavour got stronger towards the end. The kimchi was yummy and crunchy and slightly sweet. The pork slices were thick and charred and tender. The staff were very friendly and food came out relatively quickly. Definitely the best ramen I’ve had in Welly so far.”

“The perfect place to get all your Asian related items, ranging from snacks, sauces, instant meals, frozen food, veges, etc. They even have a dining area where you can order your Asian favourites or do a takeaway. Their roast duck, bbq pork, roast pork and wat tan hor are on the must have list. There are toilets located at the rear where the carpark is. Parking out front can be a nightmare if it’s busy but lots of street parking available if you don’t mind a short stroll.”
