Such a beautiful restaurant! The food was great and plated beautifully. The price is affordable and totally recommend it. The staff were great!
Great restaurant with a beautiful interior. They have lunch specials that run in the weekend too. These are perfect for one and also good for sharing! We ordered the pork karekare, chicken adobo bowl and the beef rice. They were all full of flavour. My chicken adobo was crunchy (kind of like Korean fried chicken)? But I loved the curry-like sauce in the pork karekare as well as the slow cooker eggplant in that dish!
I heard a lot about this restra so thought to give it a try. The menu is not very big and it a mix of spanish and pinoy food. Chicken adobo was quite tasty however a little bit overwhelmed with soy sauce. I might return here with a bunch of people to try the dinner.
had a business function there. Apart from, sometime sunshine can be too strong, everything else is very good. Sometimes they have live music show.
Came in for lunch today with a friend.
Ordered twice cooked pork belly and cuapao.
Pork belly was ridiculously soft although sauce was not really that strong. When biting into it, the crust comes off easily. Be sure to add the additional sauces onto the pork belly. Eggplant was mushy and tasted great with the sauce. Steamed black sesame buns (cuapao)were squishy on the outside but firm in the inside. Fried chicken inside was crispy on the outside but tender in the inside. Sauces and vegetables combined really well in the cuapao. Pino Colada proved to be a good match when having the pork belly and sauces as it made the dish seem less dry and spicy. Was a good experience and would come again.
Beautiful interiors, HUGE portions and lovely service. First time trying Filipino (fusion) cuisine - IMO Azon's interpretation of Filipink food resembles Chinese to a large extent. (It's very greasy). Will definitely come back to try the soft shell crabs again.

There was a miscommunication with our reservation, that they didn’t quite have enough tables when we arrived. However, instead of just turning us away, the staffs were really patient, invited us to sit down, worked really hard to solve the issue. We were eventually given a table, which we were very grateful of.
This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, with all the chandeliers, greenery, and attention to details. Makes for beautiful photos.
The service was a bit slow, but they did have a full house. And the food made it totally worth the wait. Husband and I enjoyed the soft shell crabs the most - they were crunchy and succulent, served with this rich and creamy curry sauce. Although it was an entree, the second size was big enough to be a main on its own. The chicken abodo & stir-fried spicy chicken were both delicious, although slightly more on the salty side for us. The garlic rich went very well with everything.
We were grateful for the complimentary dessert - it was as pretty as a picture, and the meringue rose was stunning. I did find the chocolate brownie a bit lacking in flavour and I quite dry. Would love to come back to try their other more authentic desserts.
All in all it was a fabulous experience, I really appreciated that there is now a Philipino restaurant in Auckland, and we would certainly love to return for those soft shell crabs.

One of the best Filipino restaurants in Auckland... We came here last month for our Christmas Party... The food was really great, affordable... Staff were very accomodating... Highly recommended...
Highly recommended. I was really impressed with my whole dining experience. The interior design is so effective and unique (traditional Filipino decor). The waitresses are very pleasant and helpful. Great place to take a date/friends/family.
We ordered the soft shell crab, pork sisig as starters. Both were tasty and unique.
For mains we had the chop suey and pulled lamb which again very tasty and lamb was quite exotic. Order a side of garlic rice, you will not regret this
But most notably, my fav was the dessert recommends by the waitress which is the ube purple yam flan , it's not overly sweet. Kind of reminded me of a taro dessert but wayyy better. I could've ordered two dishes for myself, I loved it that much
Overall I'd definitely return and show my mates what Filipino cuisine is like!!
We had an amazing experience at Azon for our small Xmas lunch. The lunch menu is very good value for fine dining essentially. I loved the modern twist on Filipino cuisine, being Filipino myself. My eggplant omelette was delish. But the ube halaya flan was the winner for me! We will definitely be returning.
Thoroughly enjoyed having lunch at this place (although I must say it is perfect for dinner). Traditional Filipino dishes served with a twist whilst keeping the essential elements of the dish intact. The main meals are good to share with a bowl or platter of rice.
This is an upscale Filipino restaurant with a modern take on traditional dishes using freshest ingredients. Prepare to be surprised in a good way. Love the fish escabeche and of course the halo halo with pandan ice cream. Fast and friendly service with acoustic music in the background. Chef Leo is amazing. The place is elegant with the comfy chairs, rustic tables and chandeliers. Having a bar is a bonus. But if you are after the traditional Filipino food, this is not the place to be.
We went here on valentine's day and we love it. During this the they serve a set menu for which we really enjoyed. They also have us chocolates before leaving. The staff are also friendly and accommodating. The only reason why i did not give five stars is because i didn't like the gap between tables in the area we were sitted as it gave me a some uneasiness as we are almost sitting next to someone we don't know during a romantic dinner.
Wow what a great experience of fusion Filipino food. I always check the bath room when I eat in the restaurant and it reflect how clean the kitchen. In this case yes it's clean. The food is truly an experience of how good Filipino cook are and truly to be proud of. I heard so many comment about this restaurant how good the good is but the downside is the pricey . So when I saw they have groupon special I did not hesitate to purchase it with out thinking twice, my wife was not impress as we have purchase a few Thai restaurant end up in disappointment as the Thai restaurant end us ripping us off by making the dish so small that we end up paying for more to make it enough for our guess. But last night my wife actually thank me for having a good time in the restaurant and she truly enjoy the food and atmosphere. The quality of goof is truly a 5 star experience. Hope your business last long and you may consider lowering your price but I know it's hard to cover your overhead expenses.
Great first visit here, great first impression. Would definitely come back here again. The food is tasty, original and while I'm also a huge Filipino food fan, this is a great take on some classics, plus a few others that you wouldn't normally make at home. Highly recommend and will be back for sure! Bonus points for awesome staff.
My first taste of Filipino food.. and I will be coming back for more! The pork belly and grilled squid salad need to be tried! Crispy and bursting with flavour. Really liked the chic decorations! Very cosy booths. See you again!
I went here with my husband, mother and brother in law. Was pleasantly surprised with the food here. My favourite was the sisig lettuce cups for the entree, Lechon Kawali along with the garlic rice for the main and Halo Halo and Ube Hayala Flan for dessert. I am known to be a fussy eater, however I tried everything we ordered and was amazed with each bite. The food is based on the original tastes but the chef created his own unique flavours to make it better. Compliments to the chef, we will definitely be back!

Excellent food and very attentive and helpful staff!! the squid adobo was cooked to perfection and ginger rice is my new favourite side! Definitely coming back to try the other dishes!
this one you shouldn't miss in Auckland. a must see and experience. the food falls nothing short in terms of its flavors and texture. a true blend of asian taste with a tinge of modern feel to it which exudes the character of what a modern Filipino dish should be.
First taste of Filipino food. Very impressed with menu selection. Friendly staff, good service. Ideally for sharing small dishes.
