One winter's eve when we couldn't get in to the overflowing New Flavour restaurant, we decided to…read moreventure next door to the Golden Tulip. Straight away you notice the difference - this place has made an effort with their decor! Specialising in Malaysian & Indonesian cuisine, the waitstaff at Golden Tulip are happy to help and recommend dishes. The menu is extensive, as with a lot of Dominion Rd eateries! With classics such as Char Kuey Teow, Mee Goreng, Beef Rendang and Nasi Lemak, the closest you'll find to a Laksa is Curried Laksa Noodles. We plumped for a Mongolian Beef hotplate, Assam Prawns and a Hainanese Chicken. Each dish was a very good example of it's type, without being mind-blowing. The prawns were particularly good; plump & juicy with loads of the salty, sweet Assam sauce. The servings were huge, so we ended up taking the leftovers home. Golden Tulip & it's close Dominion Road neighbours Cinta and Santhiya's are giving Malaysian food the reputation it deserves. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the menu!

Really happy I decided to come here for dinner with my sister. Not only are dishes $9-$15, but the…read moreportions are very large. Great for sharing! We decided to order a lot of food and went all out! We ordered the Roti Canai, Spicy Soft Shell Crab, Mamak chicken bites, and curry puffs to start. Then the Vegetarian Nasi Goreng for our main. All generous portions and all delicious!! The Roti Canai and Mamak Chicken bites were our favorite starters if you had to choose. The Nasi Goreng (similar to fried rice) was soooooooo yummy. It's all Tapas style but come with a big appetite if you order a lot like we did. Really great staff in a cute location!!

Popped in here on a Friday night. Slightly off the busiest areas in Melbourne, it wasn't hard to…read moreget a table. The service was very attentive, my server let me know I could do everything via QR or order with her. I ordered a lamb curry and some roti and just because I wanted to try it I also got 1 piece of the fried chicken. It was all really good, but honestly the chicken was the best part. Excellent flavor, cooked perfectly and just a little spicy. If I ever go back here I will probably go for the fried chicken meal. I had wanted to try one of the sweet roti options for dessert, but by the time I finished the chicken, roti and most of the curry, I had no room left for more.

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.

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.

Absolutely the best Gon Loh Char Siu Wontan Mein in all of Auckland. This uniquely KL dry noodle…read moredish was a staple while growing up in Malaysia. It certainly brought back good memories of the "kopi" shop. Loud traffic, small tables and the occasional insect makes it all the more authentic. The service is very friendly and the shop itself is clean and simple. Come for the extensive noodle dishes and authentic taste. Parking is street side only. Walk a little from the parking lot. All in all I have to come back to try the rest!

Right off the bat the vibes, service, & music were on point. The fried chicken & loaded fries were delicious! Unfortunately, the chicken dumplings were too heavy on the fusion for us. The dumplings were overwhelmed by the curry powder and the inside was overcooked. With so much Asian influence in the city of Auckland, I feel there are times when restaurants should just leave some dishes/flavors alone as they are amazing in their own right. Overall the experience was good.

Geographically speaking Vietnam is more closer to Thailand ,but when the heart wants what the heart wants it makes more sense to put those two cuisines next to each other . Don't you think ? There is a mish mash of dećor but it's more than ok . A large selection of beers and a Vietnamese beer I don't think I've ever seen before . It's pretty clean and tidy . I had a old faithful of prawn toast which was so nicely cooked and a pancake of prawn and pork , the pancake was bigger than my eyes but it was very light and came with lettuce leaves to rip up , fold and dip into that yummy sauce . I imagine I'll be dragging people to this place now that I've fallen hard/crazy in love with Vietnamese cuisine .

John and Rita Lim are the proprietors of this 11 year old establishment. Originally from Malaysia,…read moretheir restaurant has been a staple for Malaysian food in Auckland. The restaurant is typically Malaysian family style and therefore, each dish is sizable and is meant to be shared. Both John and Rita are very personable and it shows in the restaurant's efficient and friendly service. Being new to the area, Rita was quick to recommend the XO Chicken (of which she explains, stands for "extra ordinary"!), and Assam Prawns. I also added some curry puffs and an order of Mee Goreng. The food was very tasty and the portions were huge! We had it for dinner and breakfast/lunch the next day! In all, it was lots of fun having a chat with them, learning about the food, their restaurant and up coming holiday. Perhaps, I'll see you in Hawaii.

The XO chicken was amazing and extremely full of flavor - be careful for bones though. Would love to try the XO shrimp next time. The house spicy noodle was amazing as well. Their portions are pretty big so it's best to go with a large party to taste a little bit of everything. They serve hot tea which helps with the heaviness of the food. Great food overall. Think I'll go back when I'm in New Zealand again! BYO alcohol btw!
