Rainy day called for comfort food. Restaurant was empty in our arrival, but slowly filling up as…read morethe meal progressed, thus making me feel better about not being the only crazy ones to eat Chinese food in NZ. Family operated restaurant, a literal child brought some of our food out. Food was good, relatively speaking. Veggies were super fresh. My tummy was happy.

I was visiting New Zealand with my Mom and just rolled into Rotorua, extremely hungry…read more.. practically starving. I was recommended Eat Street for a variety of restaurants, so I check it out. There was a good selection of restaurants there, and definitely lots of happy hour choices, but nothing intrigued us. My Mom was after veggies, so I Yelped for Chinese food. There was only a few selections (only a handful of people use Yelp here). The one we chose was closed for a month for family holiday. Luckily, while I was driving to check out another spot, I came across an entire street of Chinese restaurants (Amohau St, Rotorua). There was 3 to be exact and we wandered into each one to have a peek at their menu. We chose to eat at Golden BBQ Seafood Restaurant and I'm super gad we did! The restaurant was well lit and spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The dishes were a good sized proportion. We ordered 2 dishes with a bowl of rice and were super stuffed after. 1. Four Season Green Beans w/ Beef & Mushrooms 2. House Special Deep Fried Tofu w/ Green Onions Everything was DELICIOUS!! Being Cantonese myself, I must say, they had their flavors on point! Bravo. It's rare to find good traditional Chinese food when on vacation. Overall, we were very happy with it dinner experience here :).

This was one of the best buffet dinners that we had on our entire 3 week honeymoon! The food was…read moredelicious and they had such a good variety. Just remember the dress code...No shorts or flip flops. We went zorbing before this so we had a change of clothes ready in the car. We booked this as a combo package which included the skyline gondola ride and a tasting at the Volcanic Hills Winery. I'd recommend getting here 2 hours before your dinner so you can do the tasting at a nice pace. Plus the lines can get long at the gondola. Book in advance if you can! It was so good. I think the food was better than the Skyline Gondola in Queenstown. But the view in Queenstown was better than this one.

This restaurant is located at the top of the skyline rotorua gondola. We purchased a deal through…read moreour travel agent which included a luge ride and buffet dinner at the Stratosfare. The food is delicious and covers an array of international dishes. The food is fresh and the presentation is fabulous, not to mention the spectacular views from the restaurant. This place is great for celebrating special occasions or even just celebrating that you're on an awesome holiday in NZ!! (I'm from the United States ;-) ) There is a dress code, be sure to check out the website. Basically no athletic wear is allowed and no flip flops or jandals. Staff were very polite and friendly!! I would recommend reservations, the restaurant is huge but I can see it getting packed quickly. A definitely must do if you're not from NZ or even if you are!!

We were staying in Tauranga and looking to try some delicious local seafood when we read the…read morereviews for this place and were sold. We arrived pretty late after a long drive and were excited to find it open and able to promptly seat us. The inside is pretty small and intimate and has romantic lighting and a cozy collection of tables and chairs. The turquoise statement walls bring in a subtle ocean theme along with the giant picture of an angler fish on the wall..that's one intimidating fish face! Our server was very friendly and helpful at pointing out the gluten free options on their menu. I had the pasta marinara with seafood which came out beautifully plated and tasted delicious. The husband enjoyed a nice crispy beer battered snapper and fries. We'd heard they have a great dessert menu but were honestly too full to try anything. Delicious eats and a fun relaxing vibe to the atmosphere!

At first, I was a little thrown off by the name.. because we were looking for an up-scale…read morerestaurant to have a date night! But after looking at the menu, we were convinced it would be delicious. We sat and ordered a bottle of wine, the muscles in butter wine sauce and the seafood chowder! The meals were absolutely delicious! By far- the best mussels I have ever had, before we even finished them we were wanting a second order of them! The seafood chowder was delicious as well! But if I were to go back, I'd ordered the mussels first. Staff was great and the location was perfect!

After a few hours on the bus traveling from Auckland Airport, Burger Fuel hit the spot. I'm not…read moresure if the location on Yelp is accurate since it doesn't show on their website, but this is where I ate when I was in Rotorua. Burger Fuel is a burger chain in New Zealand with 1 store in Sydney and some in the Middle East. They try their best to offer "healthier" and fresher burgers. And yes, their burgers are pretty tasty. This burger joint is modernly decorated and bright inside. There's plenty of seating for a large or small group. If you're not a burger person, they have plenty of sides from sweet potato fries and milkshakes, even with soy milk! I chose a Vegan V-Dub sandwich: Pumpkin, carrot, chickpea and ginger pattie, beetroot, salad, relish and an aioli sauce. Yum!!! I love me a good veggie burger. I washed it all down with a dairy free caramel mylk-shake. Sigh, I wish the US had more burger places like Burger Fuel, though I know food tastes better outside of the US because of all the additives and crap they put in our food. I guess I will have to satiate my burger craving by trying to re-create BF's V-Dub. Do you think they'll give me the recipe?!

Great burgers for a great price! Not the best burger I have ever had but definitely much better…read morethan any other fast food burger. I'd say it's a big step up from fast food but not as fancy (or as expensive) as the "gourmet" burger. I wanted to try a chicken burger but their options were super limited and they all came with bacon. The point was to go with just chicken for my meat. But oh well. After we put in our order we noticed a sign on the table advertising what looked like the limited edition burger which sounded amazing: chicken breast with creamed corn and melted cheese. Yum!! I ran up to the counter right away and asked to change my order but our burgers were already being made. Which I guess is a good thing when your food is prepared right away. Plus we were pretty hungry so we decided just to eat our original orders. The burgers were great. We ordered the Bio Fuel which basically was all about the fried egg. I highly recommend this burger especially because it was delicious!
