Mt Wellington Night Market — Restaurant in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

A Tasty Tuesday Night at Mt Wellington Night Market 🍴✨

There’s something magical about the Mt Wellington Night Market on a Tuesday night — the air thick with the mist of sizzling flavours, the laughter of families weaving through food stalls, and the excitement of not knowing which delicious bite you’ll try next. It’s our kind of night out — a family tradition of “eat and walk,” and we absolutely love it!

This time, our foodie journey started with a hot, fresh, and cheesy batch of chips from Potato Corner — oozy, crunchy, and downright addictive. Next, we devoured a juicy BBQ chicken leg, perfectly grilled and served with creamy mashed potatoes on the side. Talk about comfort food at its best!

We couldn’t resist the smell of hot mini donuts — fried fresh, rolled in sugar, and gone in seconds. Then came one of my absolute favourites: crispy prawn toast, packed with prawns and served with a sweet and spicy chilli sauce that made every bite a crunchy, satisfying joy.

To finish the night on a sweet note, I treated myself to a heart-shaped Dubai chocolate — rich, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. Every bite was a little piece of heaven.

It was such a delightful night, filled with laughter, flavour, and family fun. If you haven’t experienced this vibrant night market yet, you’re missing out on one of the tastiest nights Mt Wellington has...

"A little crowded, a lot of delicious!"

So, I hit up the Mt Wellington Night Market, and let me tell you, it’s like a treasure hunt – but instead of gold, it’s full of Asian food stalls. Located below Countdown in the basement, it’s got everything from dim sum to grilled lamb (yes, grilled lamb – it’s a thing), bubble tea, and even a stall with phone accessories (because why not?).

I did spot a vegetable shop too, selling bananas and some other veggies – very useful if you’re in the mood for healthy snacks after gorging on bao and grilled goodness. Speaking of which, I picked up 3 red bean and pork bao for $6 – not a bad deal if you ask me, considering they went down like a dream.

The place can get a little crowded, but it's manageable – just a few extra elbows here and there. Plenty of tables and chairs to chill and eat, and bright enough to keep you from falling asleep in the food coma you’ll inevitably be in. Toilets? Yeah, they’re there, but don’t expect a five-star spa. It’s more of an “I can deal with it” situation.

All in all, if you're looking for good food, great vibes, and some quirky finds on tuesday's, this is the place. Just make sure you bring an empty stomach – unlike me, who was too full to try everything!
