Best places: Korean restaurants in Ōtara-Papatoetoe, New Zealand

😠 It was the most fatty oily pork soup I ever had and cheap low quality blood sausage. Sorry to say this but I won't be back. Their service was very good though. I was very happy and excited when I found this restaurant thinking finally I can eat this pork soup that I had missed for long but after ea...

👍👍 What an amazing welcome we received on arrival. The shop was busy, but the friendliness and service we received was first class. We ordered two platters chicken, rice and salad and were well spoilt by the taste experience. Happy to recommend Dakjib as a awesome experience. Thank you

Easygoing restaurant dishing up Korean specialties, fried chicken & sharing plates.

👍👍 Came at around 2 or 3pm. Very friendly owner who allowed us to get the lunch special past lunch time. Food was a good portion and delicious.

👍👍 One of the best fried chicken joints on the shore, hands down! Plenty of great choices to choose from, consistent quality, decent portion sizes, and amazing flavours. If you’re hankering for some chicken give this place a try you won’t regret it. Have always had good customer service too which is a...

👍👍 Last night we had an amazing dinner at Tokki. We were super lucky to get a spot at the bar right in front of chef Jason. We took the house menu which was great from start to finish and an absolute steal for only 75NZD. Besides great food and drinks we had lots of great conversations about food with...

👍 Definitely worth a visit to try something new. The chef is doing a really good job. The other staff seemed a bit indifferent in my opinion. I believe some friendly touch/attention would make it a 5 star experience for me. Otherwise, the atmosphere is very nice, thanks for the effort to make it look...

👍 Totally recommend this place for authentic Korean. I had the ginseng chicken soup. One might say there’s not much flavour but I liked how the broth was not oily and had a subtle taste of ginseng. The service was excellent. Very attentive and topped up my side dishes as well.

🫤 Feeling disappointed for the new menu, I agree the portion was downsized compare to what it used to be. It’s used to be one of my pocket list for Korean/Japanese restaurant in Mission bay. We missed the fried chicken, Sushi and Tempura used to be more yum and worthy. I wish the new team and chef...

👍 Great ambiance, great service even though it was a busy lunch and okay food. I had the beef sundubu, it was good but it has a lot of tofu than the beef. Ddukbaegi bulgogi, tasted a little too sweet for me. Osam bulgogi was the best by far.

👍👍 Really delicious chicken!! I ordered the chicken on rice today and it was a huge portion. Chicken was moist, crunchy and delicious. Rice was perfectly cooked and the coleslaw was a nice palette cleanser. Will definitely be back for more! Current favorites are snow cheese onion and soy chicken.

👍👍 What can I say ? If you want to experience a fancy Korean dining moment, this is the place for it. Everything here is just so nice and I have nothing to complain about. The food was very delicious. The ambience is some kind of different level from any other Korean restaurants in town that I have eve...

👍 Super homely and cozy restaurant with the yummy meals. Loved everything we ate, Japchae and Tteokbokki... Tteokbokki was very chewy and yummy. Generous portion. I wished they played Korean songs insted of english to set the mood and seems like they have raised the price. And very kind service ✨

👍👍 We were so happy with the the food, we came back again this week. The side dishes are the best we've had anywhere and the pork bone soup was amazing!

👍👍 Best dumplings in Mount Maunganui, been coming here for years very authentic Korean food the dumplings are fantastic and 8 for $10 is a bargain, cold beers in the fridge too.

😐 Came here with my family and we all thought the food there was very average tasting compared to many other korean places that we've tried. The presentaion was fine but it was the taste that is more important. The non spicy cold noodle was a hit or miss as it was liked by a few people around my table...

👍👍 You can feel the vibe from outside with the cool design of the restaurant. Welcoming customers service and friendly. Entry and kimchi are free and you can refill it as many times you want. Food tastes really good and definitely going back when craving for Korean food. The order was quick and yummy....

👍 A good dining option in Commercial Bay. I wouldn’t call it a Korean restaurant but more like Korean-inspired. Thoroughly enjoyed the cold noodles, which is a great option for the summer. My next favourite was the chicken sliders which nailed both texture and taste. The fried chicken was good but not...

👍👍 Excellent value for money and friendly service! Delicious mains and you get free side dishes. We arrived just before 11:30am on a Saturday and there was already a queue outside. They were very generous with the side dishes which were delicious!
