Lucky Fortune Restaurant — Restaurant in Puketāpapa

Update; Excellent customer service, the staff are all super kind and helpful! Even though we waited a little while to be seated at our own table, the turnover rate was pretty quick and we were seated within minutes! The food quality was amazing, could not fault any dish, and the variety has increased, there are now dry versions of the popular steamed bbq buns and runny egg yolk buns (for people who want to take away hehe aka me)!! Also had their pork intestines which were super tender yet chewy, and full of flavour. All the classics were fabulous, no faults, and all the dry bun/pastries were really good quality, tried a new thing for me-the almond taro wrap which had a amazing portion of taro filling topped with crunchy almond flakes! Also tried their sao mai which was so succulent and tender, made so well! And their glutinous rice chicken which was tasty with a good amount of filling and even a chunk of Chinese sausage! What an awesome surprise! I'll definitely be back, and I can't wait to venture out and try most if not all of their yum cha menu!!! Next step is to come for dinner!

9/2 Extremely fast service during the busy hours of noon. We were seated as soon as although had to share a table. Classics were served very quickly within minutes of being seated and were tasty and authentic, especially the black bean ribs which were served with taro, an original recipe! Was quite happy with that and all the quality of the foods, tender meat and well seasoned. However soon after there wasn't much variety in terms of the dishes being served, only dumplings seemed to be carted around. That was unfortunate as I definitely did not feel like I had...

Terrible service. I can’t wait longer! 1 hour and 30 minutes of waiting just to get some 1 star food. It wasn’t even cooked! This is terrible. Never come here.

Restaurant Review - 1 Star

I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were greeted with disorganization — the host seemed overwhelmed and confused, leaving us standing at the entrance for 10 minutes before being seated.

The service was painfully slow. Our waiter, though polite, seemed completely uninterested and inattentive. It took 20 minutes just to get our drink orders, and our food didn’t arrive until nearly an hour later. When it did, the presentation was unappetizing, and the quality of the food was subpar at best. My steak, ordered medium-rare, arrived overcooked and tough. The mashed potatoes were bland and lukewarm, and the vegetables were soggy.

The restaurant itself was uncomfortable, with an atmosphere that felt more like a cafeteria than a dining experience. The lighting was harsh, and the music was so loud that it made conversation nearly impossible.

To top it off, the restrooms were dirty and poorly maintained, which didn’t exactly inspire confidence in the overall cleanliness of the establishment.

I won't be returning, and I would not recommend this place to anyone. Terrible food, slow service, and a generally unpleasant experience all around. Avoid at all costs. I hope we don’t get...

Yum Cha is the Cantonese tradition of brunch involving Chinese tea and dim sum & it loosely translates to "drink tea". Getting among the organised chaos of yum cha is one of my favourite weekend activities 😋 and there are plenty of great yum cha restaurants in Auckland. Recently visited Lucky Fortune in Three Kings with family and it is now one of my top 3 yum cha destinations❣️

It is a restaurant of huge capacity and has a massive selection of delicious dim sum for you to gorge upon. The service was great, plenty of pushable trolleys roaming around the restaurant during peak hours & everything came out piping hot and super delicious. The steamed dumplings are enormous in size – you will probably be full after having 3 of them😝. The prawn toast is my brother’s favourite – the crunch of biting through the crisp fried bread base and savouring the juicy prawn topping, truly scrumptious👌🏼...

If you are looking for a buffet that comes to you, check out this place👏. FYI – it is also voted one of the best yum cha in Auckland by the...
