One of the better Korean restaurants in the Tron. We haven’t tried their BBQ (which looks fairly expensive), but we’ve ordered several of their traditional Korean dishes, and all have been pretty satisfactory. The softContinue reading

Gion Japanese Restaurant, Parnell
At long last, the hunt for zaru soba in NZ ends. :) I’ve never been a fan of Parnell Rd’s dining establishments – with only a few notable exceptions, I found most of them overpricedContinue reading
Ming City, Hamilton Central
Ming City is one of those places where what you order really makes the difference between a great meal and a rather unimpressive one. We initially wrote this place off after trying it once whenContinue reading
Pappa Rich, Queen St
Update 03/10/15: They have fixed the pan mee issue and now serve real, doughy pan mee. And it’s AMAZING. :) Original post: In a stroke of good fortune, Pappa Rich’s opening this weekend coincidedContinue reading

Uncle Man, K Road
An unexpected and great find! :) When I first read about this place on Zomato, I was wondering how on earth I had managed to miss a Malaysian restaurant within such close proximity of SriContinue reading
Turo Turo, Glen Innes
Apologies for the long hiatus! I was migrating the site to a new host, and had stubbornly decided to do all the techie stuff by myself instead of paying the host to do the transfer.Continue reading
Tanuki’s Cave, CBD
Tanuki’s Cave is a little yakitori bar with a fairly unique concept – it’s in the basement of a shop, accessible through a narrow flight of stairs. The place is kitted out quite well, decoratedContinue reading
