Hands down the best Malaysian in Auckland!!!!
Everytime I go I ask the owners to pick what I should have and they are always so helpful and friendly :)
On top of that the food is 10/10 every single time!!!
My must try items are the tofu and the wan tan hor.
The tofu is hand made and I’ve never had anything like it - it is amazing, and I normally do not like tofu!
All reasonably priced and well worth it for how good the food is. I would recommend booking as they are super popular!
This is one of my mum's favorite Malaysian restaurants in Auckland and she always orders their fish ling collar soup and again it never let's her down in terms if taste and portions. We also got the seafood char kuey tow which was packed with massive prawns and noodles were fried to perfection with the "wok" (aka char) flavour. I would recommend the chicken curry here too if you enjoy a creamy and savory sauce packed with flavour. The only thing that was a slight let down since the last time we came was the Laksa, it was lacking depth and richness which it previously had. Otherwise, I would recommend this restaurant for their Chinese Malaysian dishes.
I had been wanting to try this place for a long time because when my colleague knew that I lived in Malaysia before New Zealand he always asked me if I had tried this restaurant, that was probably 10 years ago and almost every time he sees me in the lunch area, he always asked me if I had been here. It is quite far from where I live so the prospect of getting to this place is quite small but there was one opportunity when we tramped in one of the tracks of Waitakere ranges one afternoon.
Hands down the best Asian/Malaysian food in New Lynn. You will not regret it, we love the XO squid, the Soft Shell crab is heaven and we love the Roti with curry sauce. We don’t even get the rice because the protein is amazing. A 6/5 place in Auckland!
Absolutely loved the Mi Goreng and Ling Fish Curry Laksa! Easily one of the best Malay restaurants we have tried. Will definitely be returning to try their other things on the menu!
Absolutely loved this place and the atmosphere. The host/ waitress was such a delight. Loved her passion to serve the customers. And the food came out in 10mins and tasted heavenly. Can’t wait to go back here for some xo chicken!
If you love Malaysian or just sick of the trendy “Asian fusion” you MUST try Bunga Ray!
It’s usually pretty busy, so I’d suggest booking.
My favourites here is the satay tofu and the deep fried king prawns (as pictured), but to be honest, everything’s pretty delish.
It’s really awesome having all of this variety in new Lynn, that’s what makes it a surprisingly awesome place to eat out!
The owner is awesome, she reminds me of my Chinese aunties! lol
Love her!
Love this place. The food is amazing. And the service is great. Feels like you are just walking into your aunty’s house. Love the hainan chicken, the XO squids are to die for and the coconut prawns.
Ordered Roti, chicken curry and XO squid. Food came out very fast. It was hot, fresh and tasty. More expensive than your usual Malaysian but fully worth it! Taste, quality and quantity are all what you’d hope for. I’ve been several times and ordered different dishes and there has yet to be something I haven’t enjoyed.

Our new favorite chinese malaysian restaurant. Food was great. The kampong tofu was really nice, the oatmeal prawn was not too bad, the spare ribs was pretty good. Priced around 26$ per meal, so it wasn’t as cheap as other malaysian restaurant, but taste great.
The food is really. Hainamese chicken really good ( need to pre order 1 days before) all the food that we order pretty good 👍 good service. Fish head curry so tasty
We have been going to/ ordering from Bunga Raya for years. I placed my largest order yesterday for my birthday celebration. The restaurant owners were so gracious in helping me choose appropriate portion sizes and mix of dishes for my quests. They even have delicious vegan options available. My quests absolutely loved the food. Every dish was amazing and unique. Will definitely be ordering again!
Food is absolutely amazing. staff are excellent, very enthusiastic and hospitable. I would definitely recommend going with a group as they do large platters to share so you can try a variety of things.
If you are homesick or you haven't been to Malaysia? Then this restaurant is just right for you.
They have the most authentic Malaysian Food in New Zealand.
Operated by an amazing couple, Rita & John. They have dedicated their lives providing the very best of Malaysian Cuisine.
This is definitely my goto place when I'm feeling homesick. It truly takes me back home to Singapore and Malaysia.
Try their Wan Dan Mix Noodle. It's amazing!
Best Malaysian food I’ve had in Auckland! Super flavourful, delicious and cooked perfectly. Wish we came for dinner so we could get the bigger portions!
The aunty is also so friendly and treated us like family. Can’t wait to be back to try everything else.
Hands down the best food in Auckland. Love coming here! Both Dine in and takeaway is amazing. Staff are smiling and are very helpful and friendly! I will be back in November for my birthday meal (second year in a row now actually lol 🙂💛
First time trying this place and it was a solid meal, we got the Hainanese chicken, chicken curry with roti and wan dan hor (flat noodles with prawns and chicken in egg soup) I personally recommend the Hainanese chicken and Wan dan Hor, I was under the weather and this food was very comforting, highly recommend!
Very friendly service, very yummy food. A little expensive for my taste (both times l've eaten there, my share was in the late 20s-early 30s).
The waitress took photos of our birthday celebration, and lead the whole restaurant in singing happy birthday.
So delicious food! We had the oatmeal prawns, home made tofu and 3mixed veges, and everyone enjoyed their meal! The kids who are fussy eaters loved it too. The staff are friendly and helpful as well. One of our friends joined us unannounced and can only have gluten free food. The proprietor was able to make a quick call in informing the chef to use gluten free flour to cook when she found out at the last minute. I haven't been to Bunga Raya in years but I can see the owners have very loyal returning customers and they are all on a first name basis with their regulars. This just shows you how not all Asian restaurants have bad service. Bunga Raya DEFINITELY has good service and great food! 👍
Immitation Sharkfin soup was on point. Taste perfect with a dash of black vinegar. Most importantly, no shark was harmed.
CKT was perfect with excellent wok hei.
Highly recommended.
Staff especially, Apple was a delight. Thanks Apple. 👏👏👏
