Best Thai in Auckland

Everyone was very nice and helpful. The portions were huge and what every place should be serving. Food was amazing is far better than some other Thai places in Auckland. The staff offered us tea and oranges with our order and it was very wholesome.

Best Asian Food I've had in New Zealand

Fully vegan cafe that is open for lunch and (early) dinner. Can order food (noodles, dumplings, rice dishes etc) for dine-in or takeaway from their a la carte menu or can order a variety of ready-to-eat food from their cabinet. Their food is a blend of authentic Chinese/Malay cuisine.

I'm on a mission to try everything on their menu and everything I've had so far has been so flavourful and tasty. Everything on the menu is $20 and under and the portion sizes have been very generous, making their food great value for money. Their dumplings and noodles are handmade and are high-quality.

I like that they always have new things to try in their cabinet that I haven't heard of, as well as the usual old favourites (steam buns, curry puffs, spring rolls etc). I especially love that they have Malaysian snacks that I haven't seen sold elsewhere in Auckland such as onde-onde and kueh.

Clean premises and peaceful ambience with wifi available, making this a great place to work from. The owner is so friendly and is vegan himself. They like to serve you with a small plate of sliced fruit at the end of your meal and occasionally have new tasty offerings for you to sample.

Haven't ordered any of the hot drinks they sell yet, but I've heard good things about their chai lattes!

Cannot recommend this place enough for vegans and non-vegans!!

Pros: Delicious Fully-Vegan Food, Excellent Value, Friendly Staff and Atmosphere

Got my order wrong

Would like to give this a 5, but my order was wrong and I ended up getting the wrong dish. Ordered the Braised Chef Noodles (22), pointed to the item on the menu and confirmed the number with the server.

They brought out the Braised Noodles soup - I explained they order was wrong, the younger person apologised but left it on the table. I went back to the server and explained he'd made a mistake, but he assured me that their menu was wrong, that it was actually a soup and it wasnt meant to be under the Stir Fry/Rice section.

Honestly, I'm really disappointed as I've heard good reviews. My partners meal was good, but I'm not a fan of soup, so tried to order a noodle dish.

Amazing food. A must visit

Amazing food, if you are in Auckland go here. Very friendly service, great quick service.

We had the tofu dumplings in sour soup and joyve noddles. The dumplings were so tasty, completely packed with filling. We were full from the two main dishes so we took our gua bao take away.

Yum yum yum

Delicious vegan food options. I had the tofu fennel dumplings and my partner had the laksa noodles. Both were very good and we will be back!! So many exciting menu items to try and it is 100% vegan😄
