Always a pleasure to dine here. My family and I rate Golden Phoenix as one of the top 3 yumcha restaurants in Auckland and we come as often as we can. The food is always good and the occasional wait for some menu items is worth it for the quality and taste of what you get. Michelle always makes each guest feel welcome and works hard with her staff to make sure everyone gets looked after well.
This place is honestly one of those “don’t judge a book by its cover” places. It doesn’t look that great but the food is so so good. Friendly staff, easy to get a table. Yum.
Great, reliable yum cha. Food is super tasty, and the service is always great. Price wise I find it more reasonable that other yum cha in Auckland
Been this restaurant a few weeks ago, it isn’t that bad as previous reviews.
They are not busy when we got there, the food served very fast and tasty as well, which are biggggg portions. Thanks the waitress to tell us and stop us to order lots of food😂😂. But the portions we ordered, are still enough for our next day’s lunch, which was good to save money by paid for one meal, but can feed for two meals.
And the food was great and delicious 😋. And it’s around $23 per person for 5 dishes.
And I was told that they also served the yum cha at lunch time, definitely will come back and try the yum cha~
For my opinion, if you feel not sure with the food, you must ask the waitress, I think they glad to solve your problems.
Love this place.....fresh tasty yummy....all the good words you can think of......i wish i can go there more often but busy life style.... But when i do go....10/10 everytime....chinese food is bestest!.....mmmmmm
Decent food here. We came here for yumcha on a friday afternoon. The place wasn't super busy so we got a table easily. Yumcha here is great, especially love the prawn dumplings and shaomai. They have a decent selection of dishes although they don't circulate very often and when they do its just a small hand held tray (instead of those large carts). Prices are good compared to other chinese restaurants and portions are good too. Service wasn't unfriendly by any means but you may have to try grab the waiter/waitresses attention as they don't circulate too frequently.
Yumcha always is the bestttt!!!! Good taste of the food, service is fine, but once they got busy, it might be a little bit upset about it, but as the old customer that we knew they all try their best to do the service, because they always got BUSY!? So just leave 1 point for improvement, hope u guys get better. The comments at bottom, I assumed that they never work in hospitality industry before?
Nice food, this yum cha restaurant has the largest portion of dim sum I ever have in AKL, and the taste are quite nice too, the price is relative cheap than other restaurants, as well as in fair price. Service is good, just sometimes the waitress are quite busy, but they are all try their best to respond and help us.😁
We always go there for dim sum lunch. The place may look a bit dated but the food is delicious, hotly served and often offers with a great variety.
The staff here are friendly, helpful and multi-lingual but be prepared to wait as there's a lack of staff but with so many customers. Gotto be patient and considerate. And I wanna advise non-Chinese speakers that it's a yum cha custom to remind waiters for service. Don't be shy if the food is served a bit late here.
This is one of the places you don't really expect to be as good as it is. Food is great value for money and they definitely don't skimp out, little greasy, but wouldn't complain about it. Staff are friendly.

My new fav yum char and i have been to loads of top ones in Auckland. Such great flavour, choose from menu and they cook to order so its super fresh and hot. Its in an old building with great views over the city. It's definitely a great spot for a bunch of people to yum char together.
We often come for Yumchar and dinner, and they always so amazing for everything. The food was extraordinary delicious! Especially the taste of dim sum was so traditional Cantonese flavor! And my family always surprised about the portion of the dinner food, it is absolute worth the price! And all the service ladies are very friendly and nice, which make us always feel like we r in HongKong, as we haven’t back to HongKong for three years because of the disease. It is nice to have a great restaurant like this.
Recommended yumcha place to visit both for lunch and dinner, amazing food and lovely customer service,Fresh Yumcha. Always the best choice to go with my family. I have been there sooo many times. Recommended dessert ,Durian puff soooo good!
My family have been coming here for years, lately I've been obsessed with dumplings as well as my toddler we love going here.. one thing to note it can get super busy on the weekends and people do have to wait. food wise thou I loveeee all their prawn dumplings

We normally come here for Yum Char lunch but decided to give dinner a go. They offer some yum char options and have a dinner menu. The food is flavourful, and comes in big portions. The workers are friendly and can recommend great food options.
Very nice yum char and reasonable. We had a huge meal and tea for $28 each. The place was nearly full and mainly Chinese folks, which is always a good sign. Staff were attentive and were quick with our special orders. Will go again.
Good parking outside too.
I'm now a regular at this restaurant, it's always good, though it'll be better once we're back to using the trolleys again.
Beautiful food. We ordered too much, but hey, it was yummy. Need ice though...especially if you offer $1 corkage for wine and its too warm. Many thanks for the lovely service
