Cute cafe

I ordered fried rice and it definitely hit the spot! Got a huge amount of food for the price so I took the rest home for lunch the next day. They have a little cabinet of cookies, slices etc too

Friendliest people on the planet

Yeah I thought thee guys were fantastic. The portions are large, very kind customer service and the price is….. standard for Auckland.

The Bao was top notch and the soup I got was also great. The tofu and meatballs were a bit bland but the broth was so good it completely made up for it. Would come again!

Pros: Very friendly service, Great location, Quality food

Cons: Meatballs were a bit bland

Come hungry

The food is excellent and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Entrees are HUGE and most could easily be split for two.

Huge tasty portions

Like others have said the portions are huge! We got the laksa and Ramen and not the best we’ve had but still good. I really wanted the laksa to have more coconut milk (if any)?! Super friendly staff

Joyve cafe

This place has a huge menu, servings very generous. It’s a casual, almost cafeteria vibe. We had the curry laksa and ramen. The laksa wasn’t too spicy and both featured mock meats that had a smoky flavour - I’m not a huge fan but I know some people like that!
The owner was very friendly and brought us some free fruit to try as well (feijoa).
They also had a cake section. We got takeaway hot chocolates - top notch. They offer a variety of hot drinks like chai latte and sweet potato latte too.

4.5 stars —Liked the dumplings a lot

Wanted to love the Laksa, but was too spicy and un-unami (that's a word, right?) for me. My husband had the hot and sour soup which he liked and I didnt. The noodles in the soups tasted home made and were great! The Shepard's Purse dumplings were really good!

Pros: Friendly owner, Authentic , Huge portions

Great food

This might be my new favourite place in Auckland. The menu is really big, there are lots of nice options to choose from, the portions are large, and everything is delicious. The only complaint I have is that I asked for everything to be spicy and I don't think anything had even the slightest spice to it.

Pros: Amazing

Cons: Can't do spicy

Delicious and very friendly

The food was tasty and very reasonable. The people were just lovely. I was there during the summer so was wide open with fresh air and lots of plants. I highly recommend!

Pros: Dumplings, Cookies, Tea

Homey and Delicious

I didn’t know what to order, everything sounded so good. I decided on Hand Pulled Noodles with Mushrooms and a Ham and Pickle bun. Fresh cucumber, carrots, bean sprouts, and lettuce; hot minced mushrooms and fantastic fresh noodles. Sandwich was phenomenal but I would have preferred more pickles over the lettuce. Staff is so friendly, and just sitting inside the restaurant is such a great warm homey vibe.

Pros: Large portions , Caring staff, Large menu

Really unexpected nice place!

I LOVED this place. I probably went everyday when I stayed in Auckland for a week.

Prices are affordables, food/snacks are quite different that what I have tried so far. And the staff, especially the owner Chinese guy, are lovely. He kept giving us free food to taste
