Authentic Shanghai food, must try the juicy dumplings, reasonably priced and friendly service
Ordered pan fried bao, steamed bao, youtiao, and congee.
Gave me the wrong bao but oh well. Food was decent anyway.
The congee is not the traditional way but passable.
Food 7.5/10
The price is really good for the amount you got. Dan dan noodles is not the best I’ve had but the amount for the price is great. The pork buns are beyond expectations. It is freshly made and tastes great. Best pork buns in Auckland CBD 🥳
Delicious flavours, fantastic service and the food came out real quick...couldn’t get any better than that. Probably the best pork buns I’ve ever had. The bread was amazing too! It went so well with my beef noodle soup. A must go!
Bad reviews kept me away from trying this restaurant but my friend’s one glowing review convinced me to tried it out for the first time, to my surprise it turned out to be more delightful than I thought it would be. Food arrives pretty fast and the quality of the food fit it’s price. We had their prawn & pork wonton soup; spicy noodles as well as their date soy milk.

My go to place for lunch. It's so close to where I work, which makes it irresistible to walk past. I love the spicy glass noodles, the shape of the glass noodles feel like hand made, not machine made, which makes me appreciate more. Other food are great too! The buns are soft and fluffy, the cold noodles are so flavoursome with their homemade sesame source, pork rib noodles are yum too! I also love their homemade soy bean drink, feels so good to wash down the food afterworlds.

Came here on Sunday lunch time to try a bit of everything. Their menu is simple and service is super fast. You order first when you arrive at the counter so there will be queue but you get your food instantly as you make way to your table. Our total bill was $65. The highlights were wonton in spicy sauce, pork siu mai, walnut soy milk and sauced buns. Beef noodle soup is quite average, might try their dan dan noodles instead next time. And pidan congee could do with more salt, century egg and less corn and bokchoy stems which I find a bit strange. I guess for $5 congee, I should not expect much. Average price for their main dishes about $14 so quite reasonable. Place quite small and busy, so might be harder for bigger group than 4 people to find spaces.
Not a fan of buns but i just love the sour noodle soup, very very yummy and descent.
Nice clean interior, limited choice menu, open plan kitchen - all positive signs. Highly recommend the pork buns. Siu mai were very good but I prefer more prawns in mine. Noodle dishes were fine - but for the price, they needed to be better.
Called in here today (Monday 30 Sept 2019), been past several time & looks interesting, love the prep window, had a yummy bowl of black rice, but will b back. Very clean n modern seating area.
Ordered authentic Dandan noodle. The flavour was good, not too salty. There was not enough pickle. The portion was kind of small.
Simple menu. Order at cash. Pick up bowls/plates and napkins (sauces and chopsticks are on tables, but napkin section does not get filled). Food arrives quickly. Modern, comfortable seating, staff cleans tables promptly. Toilets are clean and well stocked, handicap lavatory has a few touch up issues. Food is very tasty. Dan Dan a little soupier than I like, but with the true flavourful zing of Szechuan pepper, sesame and peanut. Veg Bao remind me of my favourite Buddhist steamed bun shop in Taipei- a half order is two full servings of vegetables! I would definitely return again to taste the cold noodle. The families of Asians who are the majority of customers lend their mark of approval to the product. The staff even thanked me as I left, a small touch that was much appreciated.
The place is clean, the staffs are great, and there are plenty choices.
If you don't know what to order, I recommend try the beef noodle soup (5 ⭐). It's really good, but not that spicy.
If you like spicy, try dandan noodle (4 ⭐).
The service is not that fast tho, but worth waiting

Came here for comfort food - noodle and dumplings. The noodle wasn’t memorable, I thought it could be better. But it’s economical food with 2-3 chunks of beef pieces for only $14.80? Can’t complain.
The dumplings were more memorable as the fillings were freshly made (I don’t think the skin is but the fillings were good). The Sichuan broth is nicer than the plain seaweed (way too plain).
Staffs here expect you to speak in Mandarin just because you look Chinese... And they aren’t friendly. Think of it as a typical fast food joint with zero expectations. You don’t even expect service in McDonald’s anyway, so it’s similar.
Nice & easy menu, went for the beef & rice. Was ok. Served quickly !
Really good for a quick bite. It's an order at the counter and sit down anywhere you like model - aka food court style. The food arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. We had the sauced pork buns and beef noodles. Both were tasty. A bit dear at $10 for 4 buns, each small enough to sit snugly in my little Asian palm. The noodle soup was flavoursome, very soft tender beef. You get your own water, cutlery and bowls at their self service counters which are very well stocked
Authentic food, excellent decor, and great service. Sunny Town makes their dumplings fresh and in the open where you can observe. They also have an open kitchen.
The food is delicious, with the perfect mix of spices. Definitely order the steamed dumpling, pork or vegetables as both are yummy. The spicy dumplings are not for everyone, but our daughter loved them.
We loved the bamboo interior with comfortable seats. The service is prompt and friendly.
So awesome to see an open dumpling kitchen layout in town! A very asian style look and definitely attracts people in. The dumpling baos were indeed very soft, and as an asian it met all my expectations. The noodles were also very nicely balanced and if you're into spicy food i definitely recommend it. Very comfortable seating and generally good atmosphere.
Wow wow wow.... This is going to be my new go to & we only tired two things of the menu...
The flavours of the shumai are out the gate 🤯 so amazing. Staff are awesome so friendly and the service is fast.
Absolutely beautifully crafted pastry that you can watch being made at the window as you enter.
Can't wait to try the soups. Will definitely be back.
