As I entered the…read morerestaurant, I was greeted by a very sweet Chinese lady who sent me down and offer me a pot of tea. The tea was really good. I asked her what was her favorite soup and she said the shredded duck soup. the aroma smells worse, correct, duck! I ordered have a duck, and I ate the whole thing and it was delicious. If you're ever in Auckland, New Zealand, and you feel like having authentic Chinese duck, this is the place.

Let me start off that I am not a Chinese food fan so take that into account (add a star if you…read moreare). With that said, the fish & vegetables that I ordered was very bland and did not come with rice. The chicken and fried rice that my wife ordered was only slightly better but still bland. There was only one waitress who was not very friendly but I blame it to how busy she was - I.e., service was not quick. Like I said before, it may have been better if I liked Chinese food more or order something different but I will not be going back again.

Their cow tripe steamed was cooked well and flavored tenderly nice! Shrimp roll was not too doughy textured, but on point. Steamed egg roll was sauced up and filled up nicely. The decor and service of this place could have been better. Hot sauce lacked the chili peppers and they didn't have my hot mustard that I tend towards these days instead of hot sauce! Other that that, spot on place for good dim sum in this part of town!

We were craving for Dimsum during their anniversary day and was glad that this was open. Our…read morefriends took us to this place at exactly 10 am (they open at 10:30 but they will seat you if u arrive at 10 am). It was a good idea coz around 10:30, that place started to pack up. All I can say is their Dimsum, I think, was at par or even better than what I've tried in Chinatown in CA. It tastes more like those I've had in Kowloon, HKG. Ordered the usual Siomai, hargow, adidas chicken feet, steamed ribs, tripe and all were so good!! Everything was fresh. We tried their durian pancake and it was very delicious. It wasn't as sweet but the flavors were spot on. I literally can eat more of what I tried but I was already full!' Glad that there's a good Dimsum in Auckland!!

Having their pancake and roast duck is perhaps the best dish, followed by duck with lettuce cups. We order many dishes for variety and they are all well seasoned.

So we uplifted our plans for lunch and went there instead. It was nice and quiet compared to most Yum Chas, which was nice to begin with but we soon found out why there wasn't that many people there. I can't say that the food was bad, but I also can't say it was good either. It was just a little too strange for my liking. I think it's definitely down to the time of day we went there. It was quite late in the afternoon so they had probably had their lunch run and were just giving us what was left over. Never the less, it's good having a yum cha over on the shore to be there to instantly satisfy your yum cha cravings.

The trolleys came round quite regular and we ended up taking some sesame balls, spring rolls, pork buns , tofu skin with mushroom and pork filling and blue egg porridge, ( one of my favourite ) and a few other delights. No complaints on the tasting side, nor on the service as the girls were quick in keeping the trolleys come round as well as being pleasant and the bill wasn't too bad either. As we had been before more than likely we will be back again.

This is probably the least busy yum char place that I have been to in Auckland during a weekday…read more That can both be good and bad. Good because they don't have to turn the table for the next group that's already waiting at the door. Bad because I have to question if everything is made fresh today. For today though. I ordered my usual selection of yum char musts. And the beef tripe is probably the most flavourful that I have had in Auckland. That been said, everything else were all just on par with everywhere else. The price is also very reasonable. I am sorry that I can't give you a breakdown, because I don't even know what they cost individually. Lol. But I paid $38 for a mix of 7 yum char items. So it works out to be 5 and a bit per? And if you know yum char, then that's 1 top, 3 large and 3 medium selections.

There were at least 20+ types of dishes that was circulated around. For four people, we ended up spending $80 for 13 items (incl. 10% holiday surcharge). Overall, the parking was convenient, the variety definitely there, and the cleanliness and atmosphere were good! I'd come back again if I'm on the shore. The egg tarts were good, and the shiau mai was good too. Also, unlike the other yum char places in Auckland, the portion is four items! (other places only have 3 portions) Price Breakdown: Tea $1 per person Medium is $4.80 Large is $5.80 Special is $6.50

Sure it's nothing special, no excessive decorating, you have to go through kitchen to get to toilet, handwritten ..some misspelt extras to the menu written on card sheets on the wall and no flash tables or chairs, but we like it how it is that's why we keep coming back ...and back again. The service is friendly, good atmosphere, nice food and the price is really good especially when comparing what you get to other places out there. Anyway specifically about the food...we have tried several different dishes over time but have now come to the point where we love it so much that we just order the whole duck everytime...this is eaten two ways ( 两吃 ) and maybe sometimes we order some veges too. The duck is cooked well and I could eat a lot more than what is given on the plate. So delicious it is!!! Other dishes we have eaten there over time meet the same standards. It can get busy at times as it is popular ....more so with locals. But no doubt there has been a few out of towners wander in now and then. They do take out also. If you are after some decent not badly priced chinese in the area definitely try here.
