Yummy fried korean chicken! Staff was super friendly and helpful. The arcades kept the kids entertained and busy, leaving the adults to have a nice chat.
We ordered chicka mix platter. Nice food, a great service, but too loud music for me.If not for the music, I would five it 5 stars.
WOW their fried chicken is SO GOOD!
Well seasoned, juicy and sooooooo crispy!!
Loved the atmosphere and the staff that really added personality to the place.
I definitely want to come back for a proper dinner😍
I really like the prawn and chicken. Freshly served food. The people who are serving are very friendly and polite. Plus the good ambiance is spectacular.
Great fried chicken, lovely service and awesome games. I recommend the Asian style fried chicken, we found the saucy ones a little too sweet. They need a spicy variety asap

I heard Arcade was the spot that combined my 3 favourite things together! Games, FOOD AND aesthetically pleasing interior so I had to check it out ✨✨✨
We got a platter of fried chicken (one of each flavour) and popcorn fried chicken skin 🤤 The popcorn fried chicken was CRISPYYY. It was deep fried perfectly and surprisingly it didn't feel too oily either. I'm honestly dreaming about eating it again.
There were 5 different flavours of fried chicken: plain, honey, issan larb, Thai curry and Asian BBQ. Starting with the classic flavour: plain, she wasn't plain Jane. The chicken was juicy and crunchy 😍 Definitely a classic. The honey flavour was a great sweet and salty combo, one of my favourites 🍯 Issan larb was so interesting! I'm not sure how they captured this flavour but it tasted like Larb Gai, the citrus flavour was a little too much for me towards the end but I still loved it! Asian BBQ was just like a BBQ sauce, so if you're into that.. You do you boo 💁🏻 Damn the Thai curry one was so BOMB 🔥 Crispy chicken drenched in a Thai curry sauce.. It was so unique and my favourite one of the night! The customer service was honestly out of this world 🌎 Our server was very friendly and he definitely made the ordering process a breeze! I'd highly recommend going to Arcade, amazing food and you can take photos for the gram here 😉 It's a win win situation!
Mixed chicken platter: 10/10 😍
Ambience: 12/10 ✨Love retro vibes✨
Customer service: 12/10 🔥
Fried chicken platter was really good. We were suprised at the different range in chicken flavours given to us. The lady at the front was lovely.
The salad was pickled carrot and radish which was delicious.
Unfortunately this place did make me realise that I probably embellished how good I was at arcade games.
Some more fries would have been nice though

Somewhat overshadowed by its neighbours along busy New North Road, Arcade is one of the new kids on the block, delivering up grub packed with punchy flavour and service that is so awesome, you KNOW you have to ask for the server's name to ensure she receives the shout out she so totally deserves! We caught wind of how great this place was on social media, and travelled all the way from Manurewa, South Auckland on the hunt for our next new food haunt. We were greeted by the awesome Steph who attended to us for the entire duration of our stay, gave her menu recommendations and drink pairings.
The interior is lit with the kind of neon lightning that gets your inner teenage-self giddy and there are retro spacie games littered around the cosy (dare i say restaurant?), walls adorned in graffiti-like murals and animé playing in the background.
Not a single negative to say, except for the table at the front who must've got lost looking for Clooney's or French Cafe and found themselves at Arcade expecting all the staff and punters to make exquisite exceptions for them (yeah, I called you out!) . . . . 5/5 for amazing service and delish food. . We are preparing for our return!
Loved the place.. took me back to the 90s :)
Service was awesome, the girl serving and hosting was really nice and friendly. Food though its a bit pricey— was yummy.
Because of the awesome service and the unique ambiance and taste of food— im giving it 5stars🤩.
This place is pretty awesome. Had my sons 18th birthday dinner yesterday. Staff were awesome venue was awesome food was amazing. And I didnt even try the fried chicken even though that's the signature dish.
Will definitely be coming back. I thought they would have pacman though.
Cool place to hang and play games after a nice meal. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, owner is super cool and our meals were tasty, many options on the menu to choose from. Parking can be quite difficult but there is Wilsons car park opp the restaurant.
It's a cute place to hang out and play some arcade games. The selection of food is a mix of Thai, Korean and Japanese flavours. Grab a beer and a plate of boneless fried chicken and you're good to go!
Sensational fried chicken, dumplings are worth a taste too. Big servings! Staff are great, attentive and friendly.
Loved this place when it was chicka land and now this place has revamped the place and added a few nostalgic arcade games such as street fighter 2.
We had a variety of fried chicken which all tasted good but the thai curry was our favorite and glad they kept this one on from the old menu.
Highly recommend coming here, looking forward in coming back.
This eatery is one of a kind, takes me back to my childhood days. They've got old arcade games and the styling is very unique. Great place to hang out.
Great food! Great aesthetic!! The fried chicken choices are awesome. The service was a bit confusing. It wasn't clear if it was table service or not. The service we got was great but we had to ask for it. We went to the bar to order, we wanted cutlery so we asked, we wanted dessert so we asked. None if these were offered.
Really nice Asian style fried chicken. Good crunchy coating with nice flavour. Sauces were a bit average but the corn cheesy was delicious. Did see on the menu that they have a "Beer Tower" that comes with a free plate of wings 😉 Always nice to go support new local places 😀
Very cool place. The idea of earning coupons for playing video games while drinking and eating is cool and novel. I can see this being an awesome place to hang out for those who want something different to do with their Friday/Saturday nights. The fried chicken was probably the best friend chicken I've had in Auckland. The customer service was awesome. They had an awesome range of drinks available.
The food especially chicken was awesome, service was best ive experienced in a longtime.
Great food, great atmosphere! The takoyaki are amazing. My one point of feedback is that I found the chicken (I ordered the chicka asian barbeque) almost overwhelmingly salty, and had to go get a glass of water. Maybe this is just up to personal taste though!
