Best value of Chinese traditional food ever. Also, as a regular customer, I’d like to explain why the waiting time lets someone down occasionally. The reason is that the owner and her partner hand made as much as food by themselves other than just selling those frozen ready-made food to customers. And it takes longer time to make traditional Chinese food especially those tasty pastry, sometimes they prepare food until 2 AM. If u r in hurry, I’d suggest ask them the waiting time before ordering. If u r looking 4 good service and short time serving and superb tastes and cheap price at the same time, well~ nice try~
Yummy quality dumplings, I will definitely be back!
Heard about this place from a chef that likes it, sure enough really delicious!! Shiao long bao fantastic, spicy beef noodle great too with a good amount of spice heat. Had dumplings too, but found the skins a bit thick for my liking. Service was efficient and pleasant too.
very tasty, small shop but feels like back to 1990 in Shanghai
Xiao long bao is a must try here.
Shanghainese style wonton soup was nice, liked the vegetable&pork filling one.
Noodles were okay, remember to ask them to be gentle on the chilli if you don't eat too spicy, I asked for mild on mine and it was🔥. Pan fried dumplings were nice crispy on the bottom but the dough was a little bit firm and chewy.
Absolutely amazing food. Beautiful flavours with every dish. ❤️
Went again this weekend and we were so happy and full afterwards. we bring all our friends and family here and they all walk away in love with the place too! Service was friendly and can’t wait to go again soon
Steam buns are must try here. Always sold out if you are late. This time I found the Shao Mai with sticky rice was surprisingly good! Highly recommended! Very high quality food!
Definitely the best Xiao Long Bao in Auckland. Not quite Din Tai Fung but closest I have had in Nz. Very tasty, thin delicate skins and lots of soup. We also had wonton soup. Wontons little and soup very peppery but tasty. Had sichuan spicy beef noodles. Asked for "little" spicy but boy was it hot. Service is very abrupt (rude) but that's usual in these sort of places. Service is VERY slow but waitress apologised. Parking terrible. Best Xiao Long Bao in town but waiting time and service means I can't give this top marks.
I love the pig's head dumplings so much. Delicious!
Won ton soup is also good and delicious noodle soups.
As others have said, the xiao long bao are some of the best in Auckand. I still prefer their dumplings though.
Small restaurant, very busy. Waiter (owner?) Very accommodating, managed to squeeze us in without a booking and without making us feel to much of a hassle.
Came for the xiao long bao. Had heard they are the best in Auckland and they did not disappoint. Only wish I ordered more. Dumpling very good. My only complaint was the pork in spicy pork noodles arrived cold but was precooked well and warmed in broth
It's always a great sign when I don't get a photo of the food until the end. This place is amazing, the food is perfect (try the soup dumplings) and the service is fast. They also do takeaway.
Well the Xiao long bao are good. Maybe the staff lady can smile more or be more approachable. Got a feeling have to come back and try out their noodles. They look really good on the table beside me.
Absolutely love this place. It's a small shanghainese joint that gets the basics right. Opens 0830-2000 daily except Wednesdays, it sells like a breakfast and lunch food, some noodles and their best xiao long bao!! Best in Auckland, and probably best of Australiasia.
I am from Suzhou and now live in Auckland. This place brings me a lot of memories of my childhood. Very authentic Suzhou taste.
This place is amazing and we go there multiple times a month.
Traditional Shanghai style food which is fresh, very high quality and a great price. The best I've had in Auckland.
My favourite is the pork meatballs in noodle soup. It is the most juicy and tasty pork I've ever had
Very reasonably priced authentic Chinese/Taiwanese food. Absolutely recommend.
The Xiao Long Bao is so tasty and worth the travel for. Very friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Can't wait to go back here!
Highly recommended for their noodles and Veggie dishes. Best in Auckland. (If you wanna yum food then try it but not for one peruses a warm reception) 好吃就是这么屌
the food are more like afternoon teas for us when we were young. i tried all shanghai food in auckland and this is the best. the memories from youth to adulthood, always looking for this taste wherever i go and no matter how old i am. this is the taste, taste of hometown.
