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.

My only complaint is that I ordered the wrong thing, curry noodles: while tasty the fine Vietnamese rice noodles continue to cook on the hot broth making them gluggy and not nice to eat. The wonton where auwsome, worth ordering for the side of pickles. I will be back, even just to try another dish.

This time as is the norm when go in we are quickly attended to.  Seated quickly and given the menus. And once we had chosen our orders were taken quickly , and not long in coming to the table.  This time i ordered the Shredded Pork and Spare Ribs on rice. For a drink the Milk Egg and Soda Water. Without going into too much detail i can say it was all cooked very well. No complaints there. As for the drink...delicious. I have tried other dishes from here in the past and never fail to disappoint.   So all in all i would recommend Hansan as somewhere to go if you are into Vietnamese cuisine, or Asian at that.  Service good, food good and the price okay.

One of the best burgers I've had. Period. Why?…read more Al Burger flavor was succulent with lots of flavor on every bite. The meat was cooked perfectly. The bun was had the right amount of crisp. Al's sauce was the bonus that took it all over the top. I added the combo for a complete meal. The coleslaw had enough a unique tangy taste. The pickle and fries were ok. I will try the poutine fries next. Service was solid. I didn't know you pay at the register, but I was really satisfied with my meal that the extra time waiting to find out didn't matter. Al's Deli is a solid spot for a 5-Star burger.

I will say I was happy with the wine menu, lots of interesting choices, I ended up picking the Ned Rose- always consistently good, given this has more a hipster small batch beer brew kinda place. The kids menu was good value at 13.50, (burger chips, drink and desert) and had different offerings on it, I could of done with the salt n pepper squid, but the kids choose the chicken burger. What I found weird the burger had no vegs: just a bun and chicken strips that were deemed "too spicy" and therefore not eaten. Sigh. I had the 1/2kg of ribs and swapped the corn for some broccoli, again the ratio of vegs to meet was way off (would of been happy with a 1/4kg rib option).The ribs themselves were dry and the bbq sauce was yum but just an average sauce you get everywhere. On the menu was maple butter but don't think it was served, maybe it was on the corn??? Anywho the new brickworks area is lovley, designed to make the most of the summer sun, but simular to silva park im not sure how much use it will get in the winter. And bonus the mall was open late so I got some Xmas shopping done.

Kimchi tofu has been good, which I can say since we've been here twice in three days. The time before we had Bossam which was very good, along with kimchi jigae. The kimchi jigae was a little thicker since it had vermicelli noodle which soaked up the soup too fast. So if you get it, eat the noodle first or take it out. Music and cool air made the restaurant very welcoming. Servers were very friendly, so we felt like home.

The calamari were the biggest I've ever seen and a little overdone. Maybe the size is a sign of health, but with only chopsticks to work with, very hard to eat. Service was fast, but lacking on 'side-work' (cleaning dirty tables after people leave, etc). Ambiance is a miss too bc of the huge curtains they have in place blocking the street view. There are better options nearby I'm sure.

You will find all this and more at the newly opened Belly Worship, a Chinese-fusion style restaurant located on Dominion Road. On the menu, there are a range of dishes available - steamed and fried dumplings, taco buns, spicy pancakes, stir-fried noodles, chicken, pork, beef and tofu dishes. The restaurant is not licensed, but they do offer a self-service bar where you pay just $3 for unlimited soft drink, alongside popcorn, corn chips and pretzels. This is a great idea - something to snack on while you wait for the rest of your party. It is also self-service for plates, bowls, cutlery and added sauces. Between three of us, we ordered quite a feast: - Spinach Taco Bun with Pork Belly ($7) - Shrimp, Pork and Chive Dumplings ($12) - Litchi Pork ($9.90) - Spicy Pancake ($5), with Duck (+$8) - Bamboo Chicken Wings ($14) - KungFu Kebabs with Fish Tofu and Beef ($16) - Scallion Fried Broccoli ($14) - Coconut Rice ($3) We enjoyed every dish (except one, see below), with our favourites being their signature Litchi Pork - similar to sweet and sour pork, but a little less rich and accompanied by potatoes and whole litchi (lychees). Priced at $9.90, it is a steal! The Spicy Pancake was also a highlight - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can choose to have one of six fillings if you like (at an additional price) - we chose Duck. The pancake was huge, and with the extra duck and bean sprouts/slaw, this could be a meal in itself! It was also spicy, flavourful and the duck was cooked perfectly. We also liked the deliciously spiced and crispy Bamboo Chicken Wings, the arrival of the Shrimp, Pork and Chive Dumplings sizzling in the pan, the KungFu Kebabs with tender beef (not sure about the fish tofu), and our two side dishes, Scallion Fried Broccoli (YUM!) and Coconut Rice. The only dish we did not enjoy was the Spinach Taco Bun. Having read many great reviews, I had high hopes. Plus, the bun is green! (Thanks to the fresh spinach infused into the soft taco bun). However, we were super disappointed and left half of it. The bun was dry, the pork belly was dry and there was no flavourful sauce to tie all the ingredients together. Serving sizes for all dishes were plentiful and everything is reasonably priced. We also had more than enough to eat (for three) for lunch the following day. So, what did I think overall? Belly Worship is definitely worth checking out, for its cheap and cheerful menu, Instagram-worthy decor, and quirky self-service bar offering unlimited snacks and soft drink.. bring on the Fanta!!! [P.S. If you are Googling 'Belly Worship', make sure you put Dominion Road or Auckland too... otherwise you will be in for a surprise!]

Myself and another had to take the remainder home as we were too full to finish. During our meal there was a constant stream of people collecting their takeaways. I noticed that most people had 5 or 6 pizzas. Most of the customers must have been regulars as the staff seemed familiar with them.
