Lots of locals tend to visit this place and overall I'm really satisfied with Bun Hutt as its a great place for cheap Chinese food. Although I may be biased as I used to come here often with my dad for breakfast, I've never as of yet had any real complaints.

When we came we would typically get the gruel soup, pork buns, dumplings or Chinese pancake. The soup is actually quite decent but nothing too stand out, the pork buns and dumplings was also pretty good as they were soft and really juicy but tbh you can't really go wrong with these staple foods anyway and for $8 for 10 and $12 for 20 respectively you can't really complain as its quite decent value.

The Chinese pancakes however is really amazing and tasty, exactly what you'd want in one šŸ˜‹.

Unfortunately I never really took any photos and I'm really upset with myself about it. I did however manage to find this one photo I randomly took last time when I had their dumplings so this is all I got.

All in all I'm not too fussed about the customer service so I never really noticed until I read the reviews anyways but what matters the most is that this place always fills my craving casual Chinese dining and I would definitely recommend šŸ™‚.

Not many places in Auckland to get a traditional Chinese breakfast, I'm glad I found one. Lots of options of traditional breakfast food. They don't have table service, you order at the counter, but the food comes fast and it's cheap. There is not much atmosphere in the restaurant, and the service is non-existent, but it does a good job at satisfying any cravings for Chinese breakfast foods.

I love Bun Hut. While you wonā€™t necessarily get the friendly service you may get at other eateries (donā€™t get put off by the lack of smiling lol), this place serves food that you wouldnā€™t find elsewhere. I love their ā€˜tofu jelly with gruelā€™ or whatever itā€™s called (豆腐脑ļ¼‰and their buns are super yum. Other dishes could be hit-and-miss (Iā€™m not sure as I never really order them). Order at the counter and grab your own cutlery. Note they charge 50c for plastic takeaway containers that can hold liquids (free for the typical styrofoam ones).

Tofu jelly with gravy is nice, beef bun is good. Although itā€™s not as good as the one in China, itā€™s hard to find a restaurant to have such dishes. Overall, itā€™s nice.

The buns here are AMAZING šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ the place isnā€™t fancy, itā€™s just casual but wow I canā€™t get over how good the buns are. The noodles pictured were great as well, loves a good fried noodles. Just great food in general, and good service. A gem amongst the big dogs in the Balmoral area, itā€™s definitely worth a visit

Tried out some lamb and pork steamed buns and the egg shredded pancake. The texture of the steamed buns were perfect. Not too soft or hard. Size was perfect for a snack or light meal. The meat inside was tender and juicy. As for the shredded pancake, the flavour was nice and the pancake wasnā€™t too soggy. Would come again to try different dishes and steamed buns.

If you don't mind a 'sticky spoon' this is a good place to go for tasty steamed buns. Authentic Chinese breakfast. A good variety of stuffings .

Ordered the spring onion pancakes, Sesame Shaobing, Chicken Fried Rice and Pork, Prawns, Egg and chives pancakes.

The spring onion pancakes had a light salty yeast bread taste with not enough speomg onions inside. The texture is like a naan.

The sesame shaobing was quite doughy with a peppery salty taste.

The chicken fried rice was normal with a salty and eggy taste.

The pork, prawn, egg and chives dumplings were very flavourful, juicy on the inside and crispy at the bottom. The filling is a bit on the salty side but not overpoweringly salty. The dough of the dumpling is really good - chewy on the outside, moist on the inside and crispy at the bottom as mentined previously. The thickness of the dumpling skin is also just right, not too thick and not too thin.

The place was self service and you order and pay at the counter first.

Cheap, good food, very fast service. Staff was very nice and helpful to explain to me what was in their cabinet. Love their dumplings, bns and also had a chance to try sweet rotis this time. Food on other table looked very good so maybe next time I will try more than buns/dumpling :) These guys can do so much better with their decor though

Lovely spot for eastern Chinese food. Went with someone from the region. Don't let the exterior stop you from eating here.

Spacious eating area, friendly owner, clean environment. Very affordable for the value of the food. 24dollars for a couple and couldn't finish. Highly recommended for casual lunches!

Great authentic Chinese food, including some great street food. We had breakfast and I felt like I was home again. Helpful and kind staff, though a little bare in terms of atmosphere

A soft steamy gem nestled amongst the concrete jungle, Bun Hut always keeps me coming back for more. You taught me the way of Chinese breakfast and now thereā€™s no going back. The fennel egg bun! The jiang bing! The yellow sign! Very dear to my Bun Heart.
