Nanam Eatery

"I wish we had discovered this place sooner. Nanam is incredible and will quickly become our go to date night spot. The food was absolutely divine, and the service was quick and super friendly! You have to get the Lamb Adobo Croquettas, Wagyu Sausage Longganisa, cauliflower bites, and the beef cheek. Firstly, that wagu sausage is to die for. I would eat that dish every day if I could. Even the cocktails were amazing - go for the Singapore Sling."

"Nanam is my favourite restaurant in Auckland. I'm sure I reviewed this place before but here we go again. Every time we come to Nanam, for a birthday or anniversary or monthiversary, we try to get something new and every dish has been a delight. Beautiful, deep, rich, and complex flavours and every menu item is unique to the next. The longganisa is probably the best dish in Auckland. Hopefully they can bring back the halo halo so we can have a cold treat after gorging ourselves next time."

"Quite a unique experience. This place serves up modernized Filipino food. Not sure if they are better than the original Filipino dishes but they were honestly pretty tasty. Check this place out if you haven't tried. Ordered dishes: - Wagyu Sausage (Longganisa) 7.8/10 - Roasted chicken (Sinigang): 7.5/10 - Beef Cheek (kaldereta) 8.2/10 - Pork Belly (Lechon) 5.5/10 - Soy Panna Cotta (Taho) 3.5/10 Longganisa: Wagyu Sausage has a nice beefy and lemongrass flavour. It tasted really good eating it with the pickled papaya, coriander, peanuts and chipotle mayo. A very well balanced dish. Sinigang: The chicken was well cooked and had nice flavours. A really enjoyed the green watercress puree, it was creamy and zingy. The puree paired really well with the chicken. Kaldereta: Pretty sure what I ate was different to the menu description, however it did taste delicious. The beef cheek was super tender. It was so tender that you don't even need to bite. The mash potatoes was creamy, silky and super smooth. Then there were the peas on top which provided a nice surprise of texture to the dish.

"This is the best Asian cuisine we have ever seen in Auckland. Everything was just great, I had a farewell dinner with my company’s whole team at Nanam a while back, and I just can’t forget how good the food was. So I took my partner there last night. There was a small incident at the restaurant after we just sat down, the fire alarm went off and everyone have to go out to the street. The the staff were very caring and apologetic to everyone even though we all know it’s just the alarm systems problem in the whole building. So we only waited for 10 -15 mins outside, and after we went back to the restaurant they gave us our starters as compensation for the incident which they didn’t have to. The staff keep coming to check our table to make sure everyone is ok, big smile, warm welcoming, LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!!!"

"Nanam has always been an institution on the Takapuna food scene and for good reasons. The ambience is great, service and cocktails to match and the food is always what you need. Main stars are the ceviche and wagyu sausage. The cauliflower was great too. The chicken was decent but nothing to write home about. We will however be back to try the pork hock which we saw delivered to the next table and we immediately had dish envy."
