Came here for lunch on a weekday. Very quick service, and friendly at the same time. Although the place is very small, their prompt service is able to work with it.
Food was excellent. Considering the lack of traditional Hong Kong BBQ meat shops in East Auckland, this is probably the best in the East. Flavours and taste is very authentic. All of their meats are excellent. As a Hong Konger myself, I don't have any questions there.
I am being picky here but their noodles are a little on the soft side which I'm not a fan of which is why I come here for their rice more often.

They have the best roasted duck in Auckland, must try!!
This is definitely one of our favourites for a quick meal. The food is fantastic - they have one of the best roast duck and BBQ pork/chicken around. Be aware though - their BBQ roast is extremely popular especially their roast duck and can run out pretty quickly.
The service staff is excellent - friendly, extremely helpful and always with a smile on their faces.
I usually order my rice dishes with less rice, and the service lady / waitress even remember me and every time I order a rice dish she'll automatically ask and check with me if I want it with less rice, which is a really nice and lovely touch. And she remembers even after I haven't been back for a while. Just to clarify - I haven't been back for a while not because their food is no good but due to my time commitments one reason or the other I couldn't make it back as often as I'd like.
Therefore if you're looking for a quick meal around Highland Park / Aviemore Drive area then this is definitely recommended.
Tried this place for the 1st time as I was passing through..had the crispy pork noodle soup and it was good, definitely would be stopping in next time I'm in the neighborhood 👍
I don’t usually give reviews but this place is an exception. Been eating here since I was a kid and they never failed to provide LITTY ROAST DUCK. The lady also remembers my fav dishes and food is pumped out real quick. I also like the soya chicken and bbq pork. Add red vinegar in your noodles for a kick 😎
One of the best Cantonese style BBQ ducks in New Zealand!!! Sometimes you need to wait for a while since roast ducks are freshly made, which guarantees the crispiness of the duck skin. The amber-color skin was melting in my mouth without leaving anything but a mouthful of satisfying greasy fragrance. Totally live up to my expectation.
The lady was absolutely nice and has been very helpful all the time!
Love coming here for the bbq duck and other roasted meats.
Always seems to be packed with hungry customers waiting to be served delicious food.
Definitely recommend the takeway over the fine in option purely because of how crowded it can get. However, service is fast and food is delicious.
Simple and delicious. If you have a dry egg noodle craving, this is your go to. Great value and simple Hong Kong food. Can't go wrong with char siew bbq pork and siew yuk roast pork noodles. Steamed chicken here is also very moist and succulent. Very friendly service by the usual lady waitress.
Found this place randomly as I was going to Luna Tea one day so we decided to try it out. The BBQ pork and the Roasted pork are the best. I never buy the meal deal but always just buy the meat. I do recommend going there before 5pm because sometimes they run out of roasted and bbq'ed pork pretty early.
This is one of my favourite noodle bar when I’m craving a simple lunch or dinner. The noodles are always freshly made and always cooked consistently well. The soy chicken and char siew combination noodle is by far my Go-To option every single time I visit this place. At $12.50 a fish, it’s reasonably priced as well. There is also the roast duck or roast pork to choose from. Both of which are very tasty as well.
The location is also fantastic as there are multiple shops around that sells a variety of products. From pearl teas to Chinese groceries to a butcher and a bread shop, it’s really a one stop location for most of your needs.
Plenty of free parking as well. Highly recommend this place if you are ever in this area. 👍🏼
We had the roasted pork rice and soy sauce chicken rice. They provide free hot tea which was really great. The roasted pork was delicious, crispy skin with tender meat, packed with flavour but not too salty. The soy sauce chicken on the other hand was average, the taste of the chicken was bland but still acceptable. The spring onion oil was absolutely delicious.
Authentic family run restaurant with lip smacking roast duck! 🍗 So popular people line up and call ahead to buy their crispy dripping meats 🦆🐖🐓 It’s only open until 8.30 and duck comes out at 6pm so get there early! 🍜 They have lunch service too and free flowing jasmine tea to warm and settle the tummy 🍵 You can sometimes see the handmade pork and prawn wantons being assembled by a knowing nan 👵 The prices are super reasonable and the egg noodles are gorgeous. Absolutely love this place. Always clean and tidy if humble. There is limited seating and the lights are bright, they don’t serve many beverages and no alcohol but you come here for a friendly, cozy feed.
Been here many times when I was younger. Their duck here is always very good. We ordered the duck leg rice and egg noodles and a small plate of char siu.
The duck was meaty and juicy. The pork was pretty good too, nice caramelisation outside. The rice and vege was a bit cold which they should serve it while it is hotter. Service was quick despite a fully packed restaurant by 11am.
Very popular for the barbecue meats. The crispy roast pork often sells out
Have had pretty good and consistent experiences here with the meats but one time we did get some roast pork with a lot of fat
Have tried and can recommend the roast pork, BBQ pork, BBQ duck, and soy sauce chicken
The meat on rice and dry noodle dishes are both nice
Been coming here for at least 10 years now. Whenever I feel like a treat of Cantonese BBQ meats. Lovely family and always greeted with a smile no matter how busy.
Have eaten here for over 10 years every Friday, even Saturday and Sunday, if I was lucky. Food is absolutely fantastic.
Had the same meal on every visit. The staff are family to me. Sadly I have to move back to Scotland for health reasons. Boy, I am going to miss my friends and wonderful food. Guys miss you all the best, especially the Dancing Queen and her wonderful girls and guys who I have shared many hours with.
Thank for being the best ever.
The best roast pork, chasiu, duck and chicken I've had in Auckland. Noodles were nicely cooked. Rice was so good with the sauce. I cannot have enough of this.
This joint is an absolute institution. I have dined here since I was born, and practically every Chinese person in East regularly makes the pilgrimage to this shop. The workers know secret to good Chinese service: amazing food, quick service, and memorising your order (and maybe even what degree you're studying, etc etc). I have eaten Cantonese BBQ at local small joints in many different countries; all pale in comparison to the mastery that is Welfare BBQ Meats. Please give them your patronage!
I walked passed and saw a queue so I decided to try it. It’s a Chinese BBQ meat in soup, on rice, or on egg noodles place. I went with Duck and BBQ pork on rice $15.50. It was great and a large quantity for the price. Rice had some soy sauce or something tasty on it. Definitely will go back.
Highly recommend. It's a great quick feed
Chinese BBQ, also known as "char siu," is a tantalizing culinary experience that combines succulent roasted meats, like pork or duck, with a sweet and savory glaze. The result is a mouthwatering symphony of flavors, crispy exteriors, and tender, juicy interiors, making it a beloved favorite in Chinese cuisine.
