Food:(4.5/5)
All dishes were super tasty except the beef tripe and the chicken feet were not tender enough.
Service:(10/5)
Service was really good compared to other yum cha places and staff were super friendly.
A 40 minute venture to the otherside of Auckland, well worth it.
Love finding new places to yumcha, and this place did not disappoint. So reasonably priced, 9 dishes for $65~ and 2 extremely full bellies.
Loved that the dimsums came out in smaller lots, many came out on trays piping hot. They're also very happy to prepare foods when requested and topped up tea often.
Would recommend!

Warm welcoming, good service and delicious food!
I went to a lot of yum char places in the past. The standard of the dishes here are really high. Service is also pretty decent. Owner is nice and welcoming.
They do a lot of durian desserts here, so if you are a big fan of durian give this place a try.

Asian Wok used to be my family's go-to dine in but we've not come in for a long time (partly due to long wait times) so I got takeaway from here for the first time yesterday. The pad thai was just as delicious as I remembered and the portions are still massive (could easily feed 2 and only $14). The calamari was soggy and not so great but this was the first time having a "bad batch" and the pad thai definitely made up for it.
Went here for yumcha and was pleasantly surprised. Great authentic dim sums served quickly. We were seated and food was served almost immediately. Service was nice and nice seating. Prices are above average.
Absolutely love the food here, it's my go to for yamcha. Very hygienic and spacious. Also the service is great. Browns Bay beach is nearby so it's nice for a good walk after a big feed.
Some food is good. Highly recommend the pan-fried turnip cake & egg tarts.
Unlike other yum cha restaurants, which used a lot of rice flour to make the cake tougher, I could easily taste the turnip and the flavor of Cantonese sausages from the turnip cakes.
The pastry of the egg tart is really fluffy, especially when they were just taken out from the ovens.
The dim sum here is consistent and pleasant. It’s about a 1-2 minute’s walk from the beach, perfect for any post-food strolls haha! Asian Wok is my go-to yum cha place on the North Shore.
One of the best yum cha place in Auckland! I truly love their custard bun and beef strips, which are dencently cooked and presented. The chicken feet is around average but can fix my craving for this dish. I would not recommend wrapped chicken with sticky rice because it's flavour is kinda plain. I will try peking duck next time go see if this one will stand out as others said.
I've dine here on numerous occasions for dinner and it's always highly recommended by friends who live on the shore. The table layout is spacious and there is ample parking on and off street at night. Food came out quickly after ordering. Good value for money and very tasty! The Peking Duck was very good.
We went for a Birthday dinner. There are plenty of car parks off the street. The restaurant environment is spacious. The staff is polite. Food came out quickly, large serves. The tastes are as good as always. The shop owner is very nice and gave us a very big surprise. Highly recommended.
We had a great end of season team dinner here. Food was really good, with quick service considering there were over 20 of us.
Have also been here for casual lunches and look forward to it each time.
Great restaurant, food is always delicious and fresh. Chilli chicken, cumin lamb and bao buns and beans with pork mince the best I've ever tasted. Highly recommend Asian Wok Browns Bay. The owner is amazing as well as all.the staff especially Grace. We visit at least once a week.
Very good place for a Chinese Asian banquet. I had plenty of food it was well done and not heavy, for example their Peking Duck is excellent. Pleasant atmosphere, range of Chinese and Pakeha families.
If you have a Chinese friend, take them here so they can unlock the best of the menu for you n
Tasty authentic Chinese food. Value for money, large serves, the mains would be better for 4 or more people. Too much of one thing for a couple, but you can always take away the left overs. Remember the chillies are ornamental, don’t be like me on my first trip to China and try to eat them all.
we frequent this place often. the people there are very nice and the food is very good. the beans. bro the beans are so good. picture this: you're feeling down on your luck, you're sad, life is not going well, but you go to asian wok, you order Beans and Pork. you eat it and suddenly you're filled with endorphins and happiness and you can feel the sunlight on your face and suddenly the world seems full of colour again. the beans bro... even though they're like $30 i am so passionate about them that i could slam back the whole box don't even test me. (i've done it before.) i also thoroughly enjoy the peking duck when we can splash out a little. mmm duck pancake.
P.S. the beans bro...

Third time here. The more you come the more you like this restaurant. The menu covers a wide range of food from north to south, east and west part of China. Skeptical about the kitchen could handle these wide range of selections. But apparently, the cooks back there are pretty versatile. Regarding the taste, I would rate it 4 star if this restaurant is in Beijing or Shanghai. But in brown bay offering this good taste, it deserves 5 star. The ambiance is nice though hardwares are a bit rundown, no luxury, not spotless clean. Services are pretty good. Hope I set the right expectations for you.
Wonderful and polite service and generous portions for all food ordered compared to other similar priced Chinese restaurants. No allocated parking for customers but had free off-road parking near by. Offers yumcha at lunch and dishes at dinner. Family friendly restaurant and had bright and large atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Good solid Chinese dinner. The food was good but I am a push over for good dumplings which we had to start and I wish I had more of. Quick easy service and a special mention to the man at the main desk for adding that bit more to our evening with his hospitality :)
