This is a great place and amazing food. It has one of the best baos in town. Fresh and delicious. Staff and ambience are cool too.
First time going. Service was spot on. Did order the popcorn chicken but never came. Was ok though as we had ordered plenty. The bao buns were delicious. Would definitely go back again for one of those.
I loved the look of Love Exposure & always wanted to go. We got the Vietnamese salad, it was good but not anything amazing, the vegan dumplings were amazing & the beef bao was good too, also got the tofu bao and the crust around the tofu was too hard and had a horrible burnt taste. Quite disappointed by that as it was my first Bao Bun.
Large generous portions, though the squid rings I found strange with the coconut coating. Some of the best bao, but chicken slightly overcooked

Love Exposure is situated on the corner of Dominion and Onslow road, the city end.
Doors open@ 1700 til late and there’s no missing this vibrant gem. The fit out is as delicious as the food, featuring an electric colour scheme of purple pink and teal hues, it’s a foodtastic wonderland!
Take a moment and imagine Austin Powers meets Shanghai Noon... it really does scream out,”Hey Baby you feeling groovy!”🕺🏽💕 above are beautiful over sized Chinese Dragons guarding you from the ceiling above.
So to my surprise I found out that Love Exposure is From the brilliant minds behind Kiss Kiss and Happy Boy, serving up some of the best Vietnamese food in town.
The drool-worthy menu features traditional Vietnamese classics done right, from banh mi to wicked bao buns, OML (oh my life) tofu dishes, vege dishes also amazing... I promise you one taste and i guarantee you’ll be hooked!
Bursting with delicious flavours this is truly a orgasmic culinary explosion in your mouth.
The Staff and Service is great, always on hand to take drink orders and give advice on what’s great.
The beverage drinks menu is playful & vibrant a nice selection to choose from.
The only negative is that the Rest Rooms is next door... so you have to walk out of the Venue to get to it... sucks if it’s a rainy day... oh yeah it’s raining lol 🤣😂🤣 beside this fact it doesn’t damper the dining experience.
Summary:
Great Venue for small or large Groups as they cater for all sizes.
Great for kids, family, celebrations or a last minute decision to dine out.
Great for sharing as they have a wide variety of small large dishes.
Ask on arrival for Happy Hour times as they have specific beverages on discount.
Bill payment options: can pay individually for large groups YES!!!
Parking: limited spaces outside venue and off street parking ample check out signs and times.
Casual fun Affordable dining at best.

Thank you for your friendly service. It was a nice and relaxed place to come for a midweek dinner date. Cool atmosphere and delicious eats. The spicy fried tofu was my favourite!
It’s hard finding somewhere reasonably priced with generous portions. Love Exposure definitely delivered on both. The food & service were both amazing.
Absolutely awesome place, great service, knowledgeable staff, and absolutely fantastic food. Food was delivered quickly after order and the quality of everything was very nice 👍🏼
Highly recommended!!!!!😊
We went last weekend love exposure Mt Eden I love this place my friend recommended this restaurant thanks mi8 very yummy food and so colourful decorations definitely recommend this place visit once....!!!!! Thanks
Last week went there with some friends. Excellent service and food. Lots of vegan options available. Cozy atmosphere in a hidden gem. Recommend 😄😄
The food was amazing. We had the pho soup, dumplings, chicken bao, beef bao, and pork belly bao & popcorn chicken to share between two of us. You get one bao bun. Pork belly was the yummiest but they were all great. Popcorn chicken had a yummy sauce. Would definitely recommend. Atmosphere was really cool as well.
I really liked the atmosphere of this place and the food was pretty good on top of that. Managed to get a decent number of dishes between two of us and enjoyed them all thoroughly.
Lovely stuff, came with a couple mates, food was great, good portions to share for sides with one bao each. I am a vegetarian, the Tofu dishes were really good. Atmosphere was nice, staff also very friendly. Manager Jason at the time was attentive and took care of our needs! 10/10
Amazing atmosphere and customer service, the tofu and the bao bun were amazing but the chicken and chips were average, I think the oil in the fryer needed to be changed because the chips looked very yellow and the chicken was a bit dry
Other than that it was an awesome experience!
This place is awesome if you’re keen to share some plates with a big group in a fun atmosphere.
The plastic chairs and tablecloth, paper dragon and bright colours just add to the experience.
Everything we had was delicious and so full of flavour, the ribs and chicken were my favourites though.
Someone in the reviews said they didn’t like “2016 pop” playlist but I was so there for it - it’s called character!
I would say skip the cocktail bucket though because it didn’t quite pack an alcohol punch (more of a sugar rush) so I felt there wasn’t value for money there. Maybe a spirit or two added to the recipe might be an idea?
Lovely service, can’t wait to go back.
YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE… best tofu bao bun & fries I’ve ever had!!
The service was fast, staff were lovely, the restaurant is real funky, there’s parking, great price. Went there on a Monday night & we had a great time. Thank you!!
Best food especially short ribs & popcorn chic and buns pork belly
My partner and I had a wonderful experience at love exposure.
The atmosphere was unique and our waiter was lovely!
Food and drink were well priced with healthy portions for what you pay.
I can recommend the cocktail bucket if you want something refreshing and worth it!
We got the dumplings to share, great sauce and textures but flavour could have been more prominent.
If your in the area and want to try somewhere unique then Love Exposure is the place to go.
Great little place, service was awesome and food was top notch. Cocktail bucket packs a punch too...
Lovely food and cocktails!!!
Jess and Jessie were so kind and friendly!
Definitely recommend for a date night or even a catch-up with friends! I’m so fricken full but like a satisfied full LMAO
