quote I used to go to Takapuna Basu lounge. Basu lounge Brownsbay is way better. Very generous amount of mixed vegetables wow. More than double amount compared to Takapuna one. We will have to come back here for mixed vege salads and also dumplings!!!!

quote My partner recommended this restaurant for its dry noodles with peanut sauce, so we decided to visit for dinner on Sunday. We ordered the dry noodles with peanut sauce and dumplings (dandan noodles), kkwobarou, and shrimp fried rice. The noodles were delicious as expected! The peanut sauce paired perfectly with the dumplings. We loved it. The fried rice was quite good and generously portioned. Lastly, the kkwobarou, fried with a layer of glutinous rice, was incredibly tasty and sweet. I really enjoyed it! Overall, we had a great dinner here and this place is highly recommended.

quote Best dandan noodles in the city. Very authentic. Have to be careful with the heat, as the medium is quite spicy already - especially if you're not get used to Asian spicy level. Their portions are quite generous. Their dumplings and cold appetisers are quite good too. The place is very small, and can be quite hot in the summer. Parking are on the street which can be quite challenging in Takapuna. A definite must try.

quote This Chinese restaurant has been a long-standing classic in the area and has been around for years. Unfortunately, there’s no toilet available, which can be inconvenient for some... They offer two types of chilli to grab along with the cutlery. The “spicy” options are genuinely spicy, which is a plus if you like the heat! Prices have gone up over time, but it’s still possible to get a decent meal for under $20. The main downsides are that the taste can be hit or miss depending on the day or the chef and may not have space to dine in during busy times due to the small amount of tables.
