"An absolute gem. Really loved everything we got. Food came out quickly and was well presented. Does close kinda early? We went on a Friday night which said it was open “till late” but last call for food was at 8:30pm. So make sure you don’t go too late. My only complaint is the napkins they have are really thin and flimsy which make eating juicy bao buns and sticky ribs a bit more of a challenge."

"Gathering from all the reviews I was so worried that this was gonna be a dim dark and blue seating but was pleasantly surprised with the lightly lit interior, beautiful decor and funky music! Loved the dragon which wrapped around the kitchen. Waited to be seated but was served at once. Ordered the pork bun, ribs and coconut pudding. Pork bun For some reason I wasn't wowed by the display but was still impressed by the size of the pork. The bun itself was very soft and pleasant to the bite, pork was flavorful, more stringy than I would have liked but tasty. A little crisp and fatty which was the best part. Best paired with their available sauces; siracha and their special gong sauce which was delish! 7/10 Ribs First to be served and the aroma was enticing wow. BUT first bite and ugh dry and the least amount of sauce served ribs ever. Some parts were crispy around the bone and that wasn't too bad but overall not impressed. 6/10 Rice pudding Extremely creamy and the coconut toasted to the perfect amount of crispyness. Not extremely sweet, a hint of sweetness and was really yummy. Infused with coconut jelly bits within the rice, a lovely blend!! 8/10 Overall 3 stars since the mains just didn't quite live up to expectations. The dessert definitely saved the mood though, and thank goodness for their gong sauce!"

"Haven't been in Owairaka in ages but this is an absolute gem for this area! The prices were well within reach for casual eating and dining. The waitress who served us was fantastic as it was fairly busy night and we were just outside. We had a group of 8 so it was a matter of waiting. But we weren't left in the dark as she kept following up on us. The food was top grade with all the asian flavors we all crave. The snapper wings specifically was a gold special and the rest of the crew was happy with this place. Will definitely be back! Please have more specials! Keen to try out everything."
