Went here on a whim without a reservation for dinner at 5pm. Luckily we got a table and had the best dinner during our three weeks travel all over New Zealand. The lamb shoulder is hands down THE dish to get. Skyrocketed straight into the top 5 dishes I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Meat was so tender no knife was needed. And the sauce it comes in is just heavenly. We ended up reordering bread to scoop up all the sauce. All dishes here were excellent including the tiger prawns, oysters, pot stickers. Service was great too. Very attentive and quick when ordering drinks or more small plates. If you only have time for one meal in Auckland come here. You won’t be disappointed. 5 Stars.
Vibrant, fun, perfect for our group of 8 of to kick back and relax after a day at the tunnelling conference on a Monday night (booking required). Food was fresh, delicious, packed with flavour and textures. Wine list was good. The chef's menu made it easy for us not having to decide.
The place had a great atmosphere. Our waiter was a trainee and very helpful and friendly. She made great recommendations.
I will def go back to this place to try the other things on the menu
There's only so much you can try in one visit.
The share plates are great and highly recommended.
John dory was great.
The food is to die for. The lamb shoulder (melt in your mouth and the sauce… every drop, yum), tasty flatbread to soak up all that yummy sauce, and the potstickers all fantastic. The oysters are fresh and delicious ! You will definitely want to be repeat customers. And the people who work there are just so kind, professional and accommodating, Special shout out to Grace. You are the bomb lady!
This place was absolutely amazing for a late night dinner! Went on a Tuesday which was still super busy. The decor, staff and the food were all great. We were greeted as we walked in and we ordered quite a bit which they served one at a time.
Highly recommend the twist donuts, katsu sando and the prawn & crab toast - so yum!!
Delicious East Asian fusion and immaculate vibes 🤌🏻
Loved every dish we got! Special mention to the Tuna Tartare (small but one bite is satisfying) and the Pork char siu pancake (served Okonomiyaki style!)
Such a cute restaurant with a fun atmosphere. Loved the decor and wall art. Food and drink were tasty. Serving small "shareable" plates, we were able to try a variety of dishes. Roasted carrots were my favorite! My husband loves the kbbq chicken skewers very much.
Luckily, restaurant month somehow in New Zealand so worth trying the degustation in august for sure! What a perfect business travel alignment. Very upbeat place with a nice vibe and food was nice as a once off for me.
Everything here is incredible, cocktails, staff, wine, food, etc. But mainly, you need to come here for the donuts. Absolutely unreal. You won’t regret it. (Yeah I didn’t share a photo of the donuts, but trust me, you will be happy).
This was the best meal I had in Auckland! I sat at the bar with Nellie and Helene and have never in my life received better service. I told them to bring me whatever they wanted and they totally gave me the best of the best. I am so glad I got to experience their hospitality at Hello Beasty, they made my entire trip to New Zealand amazing! I will definitely be back here and will be recommending this place to everyone I know. Thanks again Nellie and Helene!!!!
