If you’re craving some asian cuisine with a little bit of spice this resto is best for you. Affordable, big servings and great staff 👌
It's very rare for me to actually find something spicy as my spice tolerance level is high. But if you are like me and ask for chilli sauce or powder everywhere you go, then try their dumplings in chilli oil- it's fantastic!! I tried the Vege dumplings and they were wonderful. The size of these dumplings is astonishing- combine about 4 of the normal sized dumplings to make one of these! Really good value for money! Eager to go back and try other dishes!
Foods were average. The lady in the counter doesn't smile much though.
A small cosy place in Takapuna. Came here after seeing lots of recommendations and was not disappointed. We ordered dan dan noodles and dumplings in spicy sauce. The noodles were delicious and had a nice peanutty flavour. Portion size was huge and definitely worth the price. The dumplings were also quite large and very cheap for the serving size. Taste however was average. Service was okay. Overall, this is a nice place to visit if you’re looking for delicious, cheap noodles!
Have been dreaming about these dumplings ever since our first visit. Dumplings are thick and delicious, almost like a cross between dumplings and a steam bun. We had fried dumplings, dumplings with spicy sauce and spicy sour noodle soup. Dunked the fried dumplings into the noodle soup which was delicious. We said medium spicy but it was way way too much chilli for us to handle so will say mild next time. Enjoyed takeaway at home as the place is small and very busy (I can see why!) Don’t bother with dominion road, come here instead, highly recommended.
Honestly what a Jem!
Absolutely love this place. A small restaurant in the heart of Takapuna with amazing noodles and dumplings and at an amazing price! They cater to vegetarian / vegan and to different spice levels.
I have to stop myself from going every week! Cannot wait to go back again!!
Absolutely loved this place. Came here with some mates we had to wait outside since it was packed and no seats. (Which makes sense since it was that damn good)
Service is standard (dont come here expecting 5 star service) but the food came out real quick and was hot and fresh.
I was extremely surprised with the portion sizes they were amazing!!! And the food itself was so damn good. I ordered the noodle soup - beef and my mates order other dry noodles. We also had dumplings and man were they divine.
Definitely would come here again! Might even take the drive and just get takeaways if too busy. Be aware its pre spicy we ordered medium but man it gave us a punch haha. And portion sizes wre definitely worth the price.
There chicken dumplings were amazing and the sauce tha it came dipped in already is to die for! Just so amazing - the hot chilli soy sauce is perfectly balanced. Totally recommend this place. The place is always packed with customers. Only would recommend the lady at the counter does not smile as if she is angry.. otherwise the servicw is fantastic!
Great little hole in the wall place to get flavourful noodle or dupling dishes cheap. Food here is great value for money and the portion sizes are massive. For the 16 bucks i paid, i got the massive bowl of dan dan noodles and mince in the videos and pics i posted. The noodles were filling and flavourful, and im definitely coming back next time im in takapuna
I tried the dan dan spicy noodle soup... Its very authentic. Travelled from Otara to try these noodles I googled the best Sichuan noodle soup restaurants in Auckland and this is definitely up there with Xian food bars. Thanks for the experience. I would recommend this place to anyone that loves spicy noodles.
Love the dan dan pork noodles here. The whole gang and I come here for these noodles almost every other week.
They are traditionally spicy noodles, so even their “mild spicy” is your average medium spicy.
Definitely recommend it! Dumplings taste average.
Small casual place with limited seating.
my favorite Dan dan noodles!!! I love both hot and cold one. Dumpling and other salad is also awesome! Because all food is fantastic, others don't bother me at all!
Food was delicious and came in literally 5 minutes and there was four dishes! Lovely service, definitely coming back.
Not a big place, but enough to sit down have meal.
Not suggesting for group more than 4 people, would be hard to sit down.
Food is good, spicy is nice.
Best dandan noodles in the city. Very authentic. Have to be careful with the heat, as the medium is quite spicy already - especially if you're not get used to Asian spicy level. Their portions are quite generous. Their dumplings and cold appetisers are quite good too. The place is very small, and can be quite hot in the summer. Parking are on the street which can be quite challenging in Takapuna.
Freshest food i’ve ever tasted! Amazing customer service. Definitely recommend!!!

Delicious dan dan noodle with mince pork as well as chicken salad. The portions are very generous in this restaurant. Make sure you have enough space. :)
Visited on weekday at noon, 75%fully occupied. Only one staff serving, taking orders, setting up the tables etc.
I have ordered wonton noodle and waited for 20 minutes for my noodle to come. Its a big big portion. I would said that it's not wonton and actually dumpling.
