Great for family birthday, buy 3 get one free. One of the better Valentines branch. We like that they do steak on order and have lots of choices for entree, mains and desserts. Always a full tummy and pretty good service. For $36pp dinner, can’t complain. That would be a price of one plate of dinner main elsewhere.
I went there for my birthday I was treated nicely and quick customer service food was okay tho ( a variety of food but it all depends on what you like) oh the korean wings was average but the sweets are good 8.5/10
Big buffet setup with decent ambience . We had been there for lunch . Great menu selection. Meat ball, Fried rice and Mussels in coconut sauce my favourite . Staff very polite and did cleared the tables promptly. The only suggestion is to the back of house staff looking after the buffet is to top up any food item as soon as you see it’s empty as had to remind couple of times and wait for it to arrive . Decent place for families and especially for kids . Will surely visit again.
Typical Valentine's; good if your feeling hungry, don't expect anything too flash - some of it can be abit dry, Reasonable selection - good deserts. I left feeling full so for around 30$ for main, dessert, and maybe a coffee or something afterwards isn't to bad.
My kids love this place, especially the deserts.
I have always found the service here to be friendly and efficient. Today it was quiet and they brought plenty of water to our table and cleared our plates quickly.
The buffet was well presented and had plenty of variety. We always leave well fed.
It can be a bit crowded on busy days and I did have an unpleasant experience here once because of the behaviour of other guests, no fault of the management. Please have a quick chat to your kids before you leave them unsupervised on a buffet.
We usually come here to treat the kids and I would be unlikely to come without them. Total cost for our family of four (without drinks) was $109.60
Reasonable spread, although there could have been a better variety for the price. The best things were the sweets, and the salad bar - which had an amazing variety - but there could have been more of the hot options available. We went at lunchtime, so was aware it would be a more limited spread - although I wouldn't hold out on it being too different at dinner time due to the lack of counter space. Wouldn't be too eager to return, although no complaints on the food or service.
Was here over the weekend with a group of 24. Most probably the best Valentines in the Auckland Region to date. We'd stopped doing the whole Valentines after some not so pleasant experiences. Food is a vast improvement from a few years ago, nice selections of spreads with steak cooked to your pref. and plenty of fresh seafood. At no time was there an empty tray with food topped up on the go. Service was really good and the staff very welcoming.
Thanks for an enjoyable evening.
Definitely my favourite buffet house. Beautiful place to dine with a good selection of food. All the food is tasty and it all tastes just how it looks, beautiful! Nice place for all ages and great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I especially recommend here coming on a birthday. It's just perfect.
Definitely the best valentine's the service is good and the food is definitely better than any other valentine's it is rather pricey but I'd rather pay for valentine's than the Fortuna any day
Went to Valentines for dinner. Pleasantly surprised at the range offered and service. Valentine's Northshore definitely is a great restaurant to take your family. There is something for everyone and the staff are very nice. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and will be going back with my family.
Cheers guys
I've heard Valentines North Shore is the best of all Akl locations. I can't confirm, haven't been to Valentines in ages. I did enjoy my dining experience here however. Good variety of food. Nice atmosphere. But mostly, great service. Id visit again.
Considering I don't like crowds and prefer a low key eatery, I was pleasantly surprised. Lovely welcome from staff... food was amazing...service was splendid.... what more can I say? Don't hesitate! This is the place to be! We'll worth the 40min journey!!! Thanks guys x

Update: 13/11/23
They have increased the price again. It is now a whopping $36 for lunch! The food is good, but not $36 good. I probably won't go there again.
I went again today, 10 Feb 2023 and it was as good as the last time. I left very happy. I wasn't sure if I needed a walk or a lie down 🙃🤔😀
Previous time:
I visited before Covid (so a few years ago) and wasn't impressed at all. The food wasn't good at all.
Then I saw a few people mention on a Facebook post that the North Shore branch is great, and I thought I would give it another try.
The lunch price is a bit steep at $32.
The food was really good! I enjoyed everything I ate. I liked it so much that I went back the following week.
The ladies are so friendly, helpful, and attentive. They keep clearing the dirty dishes, and check up to see if you need anything.
They have a seafood station, a chocolate fountain, a coffee machine, a great selection of cold and warm desserts and puddings, a carvery station with different fish and meat, and a big selection of food ranging from soup (the seafood chowder is my favourite), butter chicken, chickpea curry, with naan (yum), veggies cooked in various ways, selection for kids (nuggets, chips, pizza), and an awesome salad bar.
There is a clear sign posted on the cold drink machine that states there is a one off price for their bottomless cold drink and slushy machines. It is also on the tent menus on every table, so people are well informed that the only exclusion of the buffet is the cold drinks and slushies.
I'm so glad I gave it another go!
With children, it was difficult to fully enjoy the cuisine. had only the dessert and the seafood. Dessert was delicious and the seafood was ok.
However, the service was wonderful; they were truly lovely. I will most certainly return to sample the meal without the kids 😅
We had Dinner here on the 26/11/23 and we really enjoyed the food .
Buffet was yummy. It was good too for Vegetarians a better variety- Seafood and salads . Staff are lovely and very helpful.
I think il come here with my family after Xmas.
Well done Valentines North Shore
Came here for my Mother in Laws 50th. First time in over 20 years since I have been back to Valentines. The environment was very tidy, staff were friendly and helpful and the food was great. Was a bit tight at the serving areas but a joyful experience.
Booked lunch for myself and my sister for her birthday and enjoyed the food and service. Food was delicious and service was excellent, place was clean and place was so open and inviting. Ice cream machine was down but so many desert options you were not disappointed.
Food was good with a great variety. Wouldn't take much for the food to be next level. The mussels could do with more red curry paste, the butter chicken more cream. Just little tweaks in most dishes would get a 5. The lady clearing the plates was lovely as was all of the staff.
Beautiful place, have been coming here for many years.
Spent 2022 Christmas here with my family.
We were warmly greeted and given gifts, chocs and gifts for the kids.
Best money spent and we left pleasantly happy. Highly recommended to all.
The service is excellent and so as the food which I enjoyed so much. This is so far the best place I’ve been to in NZ and I’ll be going there often. Love it so much that I have to get 3 plates hehehe
