Food In Auckland 2019
Some places I like these days that are (mostly) pretty close to my house:
- Jade Town (Dominion Road): Uighur food. A bit Chinese, a bit Indian, but not much like either.
- Cypress (Dominion Road): New-ish yum cha (dim sum) place. Some interesting dishes I'd never seen before.
- Viet Kitchen (Dominion Road): More authentic, bit more expensive Vietnamese.
- Hot And Spicy Pot (Dominion Road, city): tasty pay-per-weight stir-fry.
- Barilla (Dominion Road): Decent cheap dumplings and other Chinese food.
- Tombo (Newmarket): Quality Korean-Japanese BBQ/hotpot buffet.
- Hansan (Newmarket, city): Still a favourite cheap Vietnamese-Chinese place.
- Master Dumpling (Newmarket): good dumplings, great sweet potato in melted sugar.
- Faro (Newmarket): Nice Korean lunch combo.
- Momotea (Newmarket): Taiwanese-style cafe with strong frozen drink selection.
- Selera (Newmarket): Malaysian cafe food.
- Sun World (Newmarket): Reliably good yum cha.
- Kimchi Project (city): Kimchi fusion-eseque place. Kimchi carbonara is great.
- BBQ Duck Cafe (city): Good value tasty Hong Kong-style cafe.
- Nol Bu Ne (city): Great value Korean food.
- Uncle Man's (city): Malaysian food — best roti around IMHO.
- Kiin (Mt Eden): Great cheap Thai food.
- Altar (Mt Eden): Good value sandwhich+fries lunch special.
- Corner Burger (Mt Eden): Great burger+fries+shake combo — the shakes are especially good.
- Gangnam Style (Takapuna): Korean BBQ buffet. The worst thing about this place is the name.
- Petra Schwarma (Kingsland): Really nice Jordanian food.
- Mama Rich (Greenlane): Good Malaysian cafe food, a bit cheaper than Selera.
- Chocolate Boutique (Parnell): Not exactly a restaurant but for dessert, a great option.
