We came here as my other half's work was having thier Xmas lunch here. There was so many of us…read morethat we took up the majority of the tables in the restaurant. Bad aspect of this was that they ran short of plates actually sitting out by the buffet for you to take for your food so you had to ask eventually when you needed one. Good thing about it being so busy was that they cleared the tables of any dirty plates very quickly, but not return so fast... The selection of food to choose from was really good , both cold and already cooked,and though plates could be lacking there was always ample food to choose from when you went up for 2nd's or 3rd's...etc.. A couple of grills , as there is, per table is good enough for a full table of people The atmosphere is good within ,plenty of parking outside and it is kid friendly if you have them. Amongst all the Korean BBQ places i have been into in Auckland i would reccomend this one first. There may be better out there, just i have not been to them yet. Enjoy!!

I was persuaded into getting a big lunch today. And Faro was right next to the only parking space…read moreavailable on the whole street. So it made perfect sense when the sky was turning dark and started to drizzle. The place was booming at 1pm, had about 20 odd people inside. I had a look around, they were all Koreans. Which means the place is quite popular amongst their own. Which is a good sign to me about the quality of the restaurant. I mean you hardly see any Chinese people eating at your local Chinese takeaways, if any? Right? The menu brought back some memories about high school. It's basically two pieces of printed A4 glued to the inside of a Manila folder. The whole left side is the drinks menu, the right side is the meat menu. I thought this Faro is gonna be like the other Faros, which served all kinds of Korean delicacies. And you'd be wrong if you think that too. This Faro is actually a steak house. I was very surprised. Pleasantly surprised. I know that the Koreans love their beef, they have 120 cuts of meat off a cattle. all the major steak types that we love in nz is listed on the menu. And Faro states their beef is aged 28 days. So I had high hopes even tho I didn't feel like a steak. I asked for the teriyaki pork Katsu, and after much debate my mate went for the 400g T bone. Ok, now comes the good part. The Katsu is priced at 15 dollars. The t-bone is priced at $28. I mean, the prices seems pretty normal for a steak house. Right? But... Lol. The price also includes the full all you can eat salad bar. I was speechless, literally. And when my Katsu arrived on the table, I was basically shocked. The portion is so generous compare to the 15 dollar price tag. And the meat is not wafer thin. It's real nice and thick and juicy. And the sweet teriyaki sauce is just perfect for the pork. My mate asked for a med rare steak. And it arrived med rare, I wasn't very impressed with his choice of garlic sauce for the steak tho. Oh well, each to their own. The Faro's version of garlic sauce did intrigue me a bit. It's a soy sauce based sauce. I didn't get to taste it, but my mate said it tasted fantastic. I don't know how he could chow down a whole t-bone, two plates of salad, and still reach across the table to eat most of my kumara fries and some of my Katsu. Lol. Well, this is a place that really did surprise me. The beef is tender and nice. The salad is free and all you can eat. The place is warm and cozy. Oh yea, I forgot that the service is very very friendly. And a huge lunch for two plus alcohol only costed 61 bucks in total. So Faro. Please keep up the good work.

Travels need to stop here and try this place!…read more We found this wonderful gem by the airport on our trip into Auckland. We had a wait for the rest of our group to arrive by plane and we're starved. The food was fantastic and everything on the buffet and brought to our table was superb. The service by Manish and his service was even better. Clean, wonderfully unique and overall a great experience. Here's the best review overall. My 70-yr old mother was with us and an extremely picky eater. She ate everything served and went back for more. Don't get any better than that.

I also think they need to proofread their promotional materials which say "enjoy infinite new concept is self-buffet" hmm. Still $12 for lunch or $23 for dinner, all you can cook/eat, and a funny name, is a pretty good bargain. I have seen a lot of people going in here who look to me to be Korean, so I take that as a sign of authenticity and reasonable quality.
