    Fish dish
    Elisapeta P.

    OH MY GOSH!!! Is all I can say! This is the first 5 star rating I have given! I checked this place out because of all the great reviews that were given 'best Malaysian restaurant in Akld' 'will travel from afar just to eat there' etc Boy do I now know why! So grateful I live in the West not to far to travel! I am so big on flavoursome food .. That is the way I like to cook & I don't think I've gone to any other restaurant with great delicious flavoursome food - lot of grunt & it's not the hot spicy flavour (though I love that) it is truly authentic cooking that I could imagine tasting in their home country or a home cooked meal by a Nana with all those recipes handed down. Every dish we tasted was delicious like WOW!! I've never heard my husband groan over how delicious food was. We ordered the chicken xo, eggplant in a flavoursome sauce, fish, fried rice .. Can't wait to try some other dishes!! We went there to eat twice in a week. The front house host was excellent at helping us out with dishes & recommending different sauces we could try as alternatives! She's also great with kids. Definitely a place to go with a big group to share generous servings. Definitely is our top place to eat - They cook food with a lot of LOVE!

    The menu looks promising - XO sauce...

    Family businesses are amazing - our host Rita was fantastic, enthusiastic and took time to explain the composition of dishes on the menu. I've rated them 4 stars due to my personal preferences - but would rank 5 starts on the authentic taste chart. We ordered XO (Extra Ordinary) Chicken and Prawns and Mi Goreng Noodles. Everything was hot and tasted freshly made.

    After hearing from several reliable sources that this is THE NO.1 Malaysian restaurant to go to in Auckland, we finally made it . Kind of funny that has taken us so long seeing as this part of the city has been our home for quite a few years now. Anyway to begin I can definitely now say it is worth travelling from any part of Auckland to sample it's fare. It's not on the main street in New Lynn so you may drive past if you don't know where to look. We went on a Monday night , and were lucky to get a table as it does get busy for dinner and a sign at the door says so. Bookings recommended!!! Once inside it was a friendly welcome, service was good throughout and the food was delicious. They do have a good number of dishes on menu to choose from. We had the XO Chicken, Stir fry pork in satay sauce and Nyanya Sambai fried rice. As usual if you don't finish everything you can takeaway, it's BYO but you must pay an extra dollar for doing so and if you spend more than $100 you can pay using credit card. I reckon definitely worthy of the trip from anywhere in the city but make sure you book for dinner.

    See all

    I've been a long time customer with this foodcourt and it has possibly one of the best Malaysian…read morerestaurant I've been to in Auckland taste and price wise:) I like the Malaysian restaurant as their menu offers a wide range of meals from, rice and noodles. I recommend the char kuey teow as it has a good price to it, and has a good handful of noodles and chicken (I normally order chicken for this dish) each time you order and the chicken laksa for spicy beginners, as it isn't hot to taste the soup and the noodle is yummy with bits of chicken :9 The atmosphere of the foodcourt could be better, especially the bathroom but otherwise the bathroom situation there are many seats to choose from. I like the seats outside when it is sunny, where you can overview the stretch of the Ponsonby street the foodcourt is at be separated from other costumers, like a getaway. But the inside is also quite chill as you have seat and wait for your meal.

    I haven't eaten a lot of Malaysian food in my time, but Kampung is often the place I end up in the…read morePonsonby Food Court if all the other places are closing or already closed. First up, I love the roti here. Sometimes roti can be just as bready and thick and crap as a bad naan, but the roti at Kampung is much more pastry-like - brittle and crumbly and yum yum yum. The first time I ever tried a laksa was from Kampung as well, and I can't believe I'm about to rave about food court laksa but I've had laksa since then and nothing has really measured up. Pretty good for a food court! While I can't say this is always my first choice when hitting Ponsonby Food Court up, it is a favourite.
