What a rip off. I get that its new but there's no excuse for the disgusting prices in this place. Its the kind of place you'll visit once perhaps to see what all the noise is about, maybe had a meal and never ever return... unless you've got more money than brains. I walked right out when I saw basic chips were over $8. Get a grip, they weren't even loaded. Then there's the entertainment areas which are so compact they're better suited to 5 year olds. And yes, you have to pay through the nose in those too, making bringing your kids in less than appealing. Overall a nice coat of paint on a tired old place but their exorbitant pricing and cramped seating with little to no room makes you feel like a sardine on a bench with wet paint. The hype will pass as people get wise to how they can't afford to keep coming back and this place will wind up like the last one, with sparse regulars who can't be bothered walking somewhere better, and distinct coating of grease over everything. Update for owner: your prices are not comparable, but thanks for ignoring every other point I made to focus solely on pricing. With people spending less and less and more businesses closing as a result, you're not doing anything to encourage people to buy, so enjoy it while it lasts, I expect you to represent the former underground willis,...

We are from Auckland and decided to try our Commercial Bay equivalent at Willis Lane. As we entered down the escalators we got transported into an elite mall-level food court, nailing their aesthetics and atmosphere to a tee.

There are so many food options to choose from, and they’re not your basic, everyday options that you see at your local mall, but flavours that aren’t often showcased in the NZ food industry. From Korean to American, Mexican to Thai and Vietnam.

That being said, we tried Crack Chicken and Rick’s Cheese Steaks. Service from both was exceptional and quite fast considering we went during peak lunch hour.

Crack Chicken hit the spot, we loved the rice bowl with seasoned brown rice, salads and fried chicken. Portion’s were just right, we had a lot leftover.

The cheesesteak was just what you need on a busy day, had a beef cheesesteak on a soft baguette which was packed to the brim, coated with a generous layer of cheese sauce. We also had fries on the side, but they’re not out of the world, just salt, pepper and cheese sauce.

Overall, very impressed with what we experienced, we recommend to anyone in the area or those visiting from another city, especially Auckland! Better than our...
