Chigop 치곱

Korean restaurant

👍👍 So surprised to find a place like this in West Auckland! This is not your ordinary korean bbq place. They still offer the pork belly (samgyeopsal), soup base dish and fried chicken on their menu. But 치곱Chi Gop is a must visit for the adventurous palate for beef and pork entrails/innards. It is so...

Noodle Bar - Korean & Japanese Food

Tokki

Restaurant

👍👍 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...

Teolbo Korean Restaurant

Korean restaurant

😠 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...

Miku Asian Eatery

Asian restaurant

🫤 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...

KS Chicken

Korean restaurant

👍👍 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...

K Chicken Avondale

Fried chicken takeaway

👍👍 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.

Bon Ga Ne

Korean restaurant

👍 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.

정담 Jung Dam

Korean restaurant

👍 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.

K Chicken Hamilton

Fried chicken takeaway

👍👍 My new Korean fried chicken favourite now. Recently opened in April 2022. Try the Hot Spicy option, hits the spot this winter! Soy Honey Garlic for that sweet savoury crispness. Go for the boneless option only $1 diffrence from the bone in. Boneless is thigh meat and bone in is chopped drums.

원소주 ONE SOJU KOREAN RESTAURANT

Korean restaurant

👍👍 Just love the vibes and authentic Korean food here! The Spicy Kimchi and Pork Soup is super flavourful, packed full of kimchi & tofu - the perfect Winter warmer. The fried chicken is dangerously good too, we couldn't stop eating. Already can't wait to come back again and try out more of the menu. F...

Wangsibli

Korean restaurant

👍👍 Recent change in ownership has propelled this little eatery to new heights. Highly recommend coming for a visit. All the soups were delicious. The spicy chicken and rice was served in a clay pot that made the rice crispy on the bottom. Flavours were on point. Soooo good on a cold winter evening.

Happy Bowl

Korean restaurant

👍👍 On way back from Cape Reinga, we happened to drop in this restaurant. The food was so authentic to us traveling from Korea. We felt home in this fine restaurant, unexpected in this far up in the North. Staff were kind and warm and tables were available indoors and outdoors. Clean and tidy atmosphere...

The Kimchi Project

Korean restaurant

👍 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...

Hansik Restaurant & Bar

Korean restaurant

👍👍 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...
