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!!

Even water for coffee is warm not hot, Very bad experience, both groups went home hungry, only went due to two invites in March2026 , not recommended, Restaurant shld close down unless change of management, it poses health risks to the community. Local buffet I would highly recommend is SANBELL Otahuhu, fresh seafood, steaming hot food, variety, very clean, and lots of parking.

The food is scrumptious, the service has vastly improved, and the Ambiance of the place is comforting. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit this restaurant.

Everything was cold except for the re-fried fish and chips which were tough as leather. Everything else is watered down too. I should have known when there was no one actually dining in there when me and hubby visited. Afterwards I also hunted around for a food hygiene and safety rating which should be on display and wished I hadn't. It was hiding by the front door on the floor hidden by some plants?? The rating.....D! Avoid at all costs. They received a 1 from because the only thing that tasted nice was the complimentary cold water.

For our last meal in NZ, we wanted something super filling since we were flying out on a red eye…read more It had been awhile since either of us had Mongolian BBQ so we decided to check out what it was like in NZ. Gengy's was close to the airport and the price was reasonable (21NZ on Tues night; a little bit pricier on weekends) for AYCE. I had called ahead of time to ensure they were going to be open late. The gal who answered said they were going to be opened until 9:30pm so off we went. Gengy's is located in a strip mall with a few other restaurants that it shares the parking lot with. When we walked in around 8:15pm, the host stated that the chef will stop grilling around 9pm which kinda sucked since I thought we would have the grill until 9:30pm. After we sat down, it became a frantic rush to try to get in multiple bowls. Gengy's has a rule that you can only grill 1 bowl at a time which means you are a bit limited on how much you can cook in 1 sitting. Their meat selection was pretty awesome (seafood, lamb, chicken, pork, beef - some marinated, some not) with a wide selection of sauces. Their veggie selection left a lot to be desired though - they had ran out of white cabbage when we got there...which mystified me because cabbage is so cheap and basic! All their cooked foods looked kinda sad so I skipped out on most of it. They also had soup and some desserts. The chef can make you a pancake to go with your ice cream if you want. I probably would not show up at Gengy's close to their closing hour because it seemed like everything was winding down and not being refilled. There was only 1 chef grilling so the wait for the food was a bit longer and not really getting enough attention (more charred bits than usual). The server was on point and friendly but I would definitely come earlier so your food selection is a bit better! - Takes CC - On your birthday, you can eat for $1 (with 3 full priced paying adults)

As much as I…read morereally do not like buffet-style food, kids love it and I love anything Asian so I pushed away my visions of ghastly Valentines-esque low-hygeine yuckiness and braved it for the kids' sake... I was pleasantly surprised. It is a buffet-style place where you grab a plate and choose from chopped vegetables, sliced meats, prawns, condiments and sauces etc - as much as you can pile on - and give it to the chef who cooks it on the hotplate. And I concede it was pretty tasty, enough to go back for seconds! Dessert is obtained by scooping your own ice cream and a topping of your choice - again a winner with the rugrats. I guess this place would be good for a meal with a large group - there is a family atmosphere and it is relaxed and casual and certainly nobody will go home starving!

The answer is if your date truly loves you, she'll be totally keen wherever you offer to take her. If you're just trying to make a good impression on your latest crush, then this should not be your first pick. The décor is ho-hum and the only thing intimate about it is perhaps the service of drinks to your particular table. The rest of the time, you're cattle being herded in and out of the buffet. Now the food ain't too bad. The dessert buffet is good, though some of the cakes are a little bit plastic. The food can be delicious, but most of the time, it just tastes like it was sitting in there too long and it's either a little too cooked, or just gritty. It's not bad for the price, but it's not too good either.
