Order Food in ponsonby

Ate here one evening with a group and we shared multiple platters of Yangzhou fried rice and their assortment of kebabs. The kebabs tasted decent - I find they are a tad salty. The quality of the food is the price you pay. But I just want to point out their fried garlic chicken, it is levels above the other food we were served and everyone quickly ate it, the crunchiness and strong garlic flavour is addictive. Also the restaurant has nice views of the harbour for diners to see.

Sheng Ji in Newmarket is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Hong Kong style comfort food. A major highlight is their highly efficient self ordering system. By simply scanning a QR code at the table, you can browse a detailed digital menu with photos and place your order instantly. This modern touch makes dining incredibly convenient and stress-free, especially during busy hours. It’s also a huge plus that they stay open until late at night, making it the perfect go to for a late dinner or midnight snack in Auckland. The food is where this place truly shines. The cold tossed fish skin is a must-try;it has a wonderful crunchy texture and is seasoned perfectly, making it a refreshing and authentic appetizer. We also thoroughly enjoyed the stewed beef brisket, which was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the steamed chicken, which was incredibly silky and paired perfectly with the ginger-scallion sauce. To wash it all down, their traditional iced milk tea is rich and authentic. Whether you are stopping by for a quick lunch or a late-night feast, the combination of high-quality Cantonese dishes and the seamless digital ordering process makes Sheng Ji a top choice.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're a seafood lover, 928 Eatery on Dominion Road, Mt Eden is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the freshness of the ingredients—there’s a large tank showcasing all the live seafood available, so you know exactly what you’re getting. It’s not just a meal here—it’s a full experience. The menu is focused and straightforward: fresh seafood is the star of the show. Don’t expect a long menu with lots of options—this place is all about premium, quality seafood done right. We ordered the combination seafood pot and a king crab, and both were absolutely amazing. The seafood pot was full of flavour and generously portioned, perfect for sharing. The king crab was fresh, meaty, and cooked to perfection. What really stood out, even beyond the delicious food, was the exceptional service. Honestly, it was the best service we’ve received at any restaurant in a long time. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. One staff member even helped us cook the seafood combination pot at our table, which made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. It felt like we were being hosted rather than just served. We also tried the Paua fried rice, and it was a delightful surprise—perfectly cooked and rich in seafood flavour. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, highlighting the freshness of the ingredients. Another bonus is the free parking lot behind the restaurant, which is a rare find in this area and makes visiting even more convenient. We had a wonderful night with lots of fresh seafood, great conversation, and warm hospitality. Highly recommend 928 Eatery if you want an authentic and satisfying seafood experience in Auckland.

Highly recommend trying the Zucchini Veg Fritters with Garlic Yogurt Sauce perfect combo. Appreciate you making a fresh batch of Hummus to takeaway this was delicious. I did want to order the Veg pizza but it was not on the menu board so i presume they arent available now? I also asked to have extra sauce added inside the special veg wrap but it did not have enough luckily we had the extra dish of hummus we brought to takeaway. Freindly family run business nice service thankyou

Good place to come for takeaways but not much to support eating there. Friendly owner, which is always nice. Roast meat was very tasty - generous portion, gravy, vegetables etc If you are eating there you won't get a plate or a knife. Meal will come in plastic container with a wooden fork. There's definitely room for an extra table inside, quite strange no plates or proper cutlery. Wouldn't take much effort to make this a more enjoyable experience for people who want to eat there ...

I love Asian food and we’re always looking for places nearby to have a favourite so that we don’t have to travel so far away. This place has potential, but I think the quality of food can be better.. for example I love fried round beans either garlic or black bean flavour, but when we ordered it it was too soft. It doesn’t have that crunchy texture that it usually has. Then we got the promotion fried pork., but I realised it was just full of fat and not much it was a meat. And that feels a little bit overwhelming, too much fat to meat ratio. I hope that they get better at the quality of food, there is a lot of competition out there with Chinese food anyway.
