They were very busy and when I arrived I had to wait about 20 mins after the booked time got a table. I was hungry so was probably a little grumpy about this. The food and wines were excellent. Probably due to business the service was ok. Generally very friendly but with a tasting menu I think it’s
I was lucky to be part of a group tonight and had Amok's tasting menu. From start to finish it was amazing..some of the highlights were a beautiful potato bread, sashimi, steak tartare on potato rosti , eggplant that was gob smacking delicious, smoked snapper with a wonderful squid ink sauce packed
I booked Amok for dinner as I was aware they changed their menu often to include the best seasonal produce. When we arrived we were welcomed like old friends despite this being the first time visiting. The owner Tashie leads the floor and runs the bar and menu with a knowledge second to none and her
The food is incredible. We had the potato bread, oysters, beef tongue, pork and snapper! Everything was delicious! Staff are super knowledgeable from produce to wine. The best dining experience I’ve had in Wellington so far!
Having being privileged to eat at many great, unknown and known restaurants round the world, I’ve never been more wonderfully surprised by dishes than at this place. It’s astounding. The team who clearly love what they do, the relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere, and the astonishing “utterly new” f
Sensational. Attentive and authentic staff interactions with a keen sense of service. It can be said, they 'smiled through their eyes'. The team there were co-operative, intuitive, thankful and very efficient. The food options with our order (a set menu) were delicious, daring and presented creative
Was a bit hesitant after reading some of the reviews here but was glad that I gave it a try. Had a very pleasant experience and the food was very tasty, though some of it was a little too salty.
To not go into too many details - have travelled NZ and the world, this restaurant is one of the best I have been so far. The dishes, which are simple in words yet complex and well balanced, prepared with so much ingenuity, i have only seen in few places in the world. Absolutely a must when visiting
Amok is hands down the best dining experience in Wellington. It is incredibly humble, the ingredients are simultaneously seasonal, conscious and intellectual. If you’re lucky enough to be served by the manager you get an insight not only to the flavours of the day, but the ethos of the restaurant.
In 2023 we have been told to expect more, to be challenged, to demand standards of excellence in our food choices and our choices providers... I'm glad to say, New Zealand... I found it tonight. Passion in both the shared plates (embrace them and stop being so sad and angry) and the educated and tho
The most fun I've had in a long while. Everything from the tasting menu, to the wine pairing, to the music and the service was top notch. Wait staff even directed us to an amazing hidden bar afterward. Massively recommend.
One if the best dinners out we have had in Wellinton. Casual dining and fine eating. Would highly recommend.
Food delicious, service fabulous. If you are looking for something special then Amok is the place.
Amok is very good. We enjoyed the shared plate set menu and like ti very much. The staff took time to discuss each plate to us and we enjoyed that! Will go again.
Wow - what an amazing dinner at Amok. We nabbed a table later in the evening and were treated so well by the serving staff who were attentive and knowledgeable. We had conversations with our lovely waiter about Australian nuts to mushroom foraging as he kept us watered and checked in on the food. We
Had a fantastic meal here. The service was great, the food faultless, and I was even introduced to a new alcoholic spirit I've never tried before (Applejack whiskey).
We went for the 7-course tasting menu and left it to the kitchen to decide our dining fates, and were extremely happy we did.

I never leave reviews but this evening was so special I made a exception. Amok wants you to feel the hospitality of being in their home- and they accomplished this with every aspect of the meal. Like visiting a friend, but one that can exquisitely cook and has a phenomenal wine cellar and liquor sel
A truly unforgettable dining experience, we ordered 4 dishes/works of art to share between the both of us however that wasn’t enough, we had the skirt steak, the oyster mushrooms, the potato bread, the pork belly and finally as a staff recommendation (forgive my memory) the spicy fish and sausage pa
