I have lived locally for nearly 1.5 years and this is the very first time I have dined in at Gao.
What an amazing experience here! What a delicious food. I love all the dishes. I went with my friends on last Sunday and I can't help to go back on the next Tuesday.
Definitely I will be back .
Well done 👏
Group of 16 islanders. Originally booked for 90min bottomless lunch menu and drinks.
$45 for bottomless lunch and non alcoholic drinks. $65 for bottomless lunch and alcoholic drinks.
The venue decor is impressive. Great atmosphere for lunch. We were there with other groups but didn't feel crowded.
Food is exceptional. We had the bottomless lunch - every few minutes new dishes would arrive. An array of Asian cuisines. Amazing staff, patient, friendly and extremely helpful.
Slightly lagging with the drink orders but doesn't impact on any future returns.
Parking can be challenging.
Highly recommend. Love this little business and hope they continue to grow.
I was lucky to get a dinner reservation last minute for 5.30pm on a Saturday. As soon as we walked in, the ambiance draws in all of your senses. We were greeted & seated at our table straight away, menu's in hand, we salivated our way down the menu.
Our drinks were a purple haze & a coke. Cocktail was delicious! I wanted several more!
Our food arrived presented beautifully, e ordered the Kung pa orange chicken, Gao friend squid, Korean fried cauliflower, pork & prawn dumplings & chilli dumplings.
Every single thing was full of flavour and made with love! You will not be disappointed. Run don't walk. 🙌 The staff were very attentive, the ambiance was amazing with a few heaters pumping. Will definitely go back to try more off the menu. Thank you. 😊

Incredible! Best bottomless brunch that my girls and I have attended and they’ve really set the standards high for other bottomless brunches around Akl! Every single dish was amazing (the spring rolls was a fav and literally tasted like deep fried mini Big Macs. Unsure what it was called) and the mi goreng, dumplings, bao buns, fried chicken, desserts - just everything is cooked to perfection and is served fresh and piping hot.
The drinks was also delicious (and a bonus that you’re able to try them all/switch the next round) but the tequila sunrises hit the spot.
Aside from the delicious food and drinks - the service itself was impeccable and they continuously serve throughout your entire stay (we’ve noticed at other establishment they‘re often slow or low on staff while packed out). You will not leave this establishment hungry or thirsty!
On top of all of that - the comms was fast, efficient and accomodating. Very happy with the email exchange upon booking and they made sure everything was an easy process when we had to change dates and number of people attending. We will surely be back again!
I’d say IF there was a downfall then it would only be the food wastage. We regrettably left with two full tables of food which seems quite wasteful. In the future, we’ll decline any extra plates or top ups to avoid this. Otherwise a limited take away option would have been even better (currently no take away option so beware of overindulging or eating with your eyes to avoid too much leftovers).
One of the best place I’ve been by far (over the shore)
Great food. Great service and great ambiance! Keep up the good work 😊
Loved this place. Came here on a Friday night but the only booking available was 5:00, so we were the only ones in here. But despite that it was amazing. The service was perfect and everyone was so incredibly kind. Then we get to the food and it couldn't of been better, the cheeseburger spring rolls, tuna, duck pancakes, and just everything was perfect. I've been to many asian fusion restaurants before but this one takes the cake, the atmosphere, service, and food were all top tier. Will definitely be returning soon.

We decided to try this place for dinner. The place wasn't too hard to find. There are a few parking spots around the building but they did get full quite quickly but there were more spots further down the area.
The place is quite interesting with a fairly large mural on the Albany Highway side of the building. The interior is similar with a variety of murals along the many surfaces of the restaurant. The bar is by the entrance and there is a fireplace which is in the middle of the dining area.
Both the food and drink menu has interesting items on it. We grabbed a few items to share. The pad thai here is quite flavourful. As was the stir fried greens. The roti and coconut rice here is also nice. The desserts were also interesting. The panna cotta had a nice texture with the fruits and other things around it. The banana spring roll was almost like a banana fritter. The coconut rockstar was a bit different, almost like a deep fried ice cream. It was an interesting way to end the meal.
The food and cocktails here were interesting and tasty.
We went there last saturday for bottomless brunch! Awesome service and fantastic food! Fresh and great flavour! Highly recommended for weekend brunch.
Everything about this place is amazing, from the service when you walk in the door, to the amazing authentic Asian fusion (Phillipines,Thai,chinese) flavors. The staff know what they're talking about, so take their advice when ordering!! 100% a vibe!
Dinner for 2 tonight.
Great ambiance
Overall, this was a wonderful experience with friendly, helpful, and approachable staff, all very professional.
Every dish we ordered was tasty and delicious.
Gao certainly delivers the goods and more.
We are looking forward to visiting this excellent Restaurant again soon.
