Asian Wok Yum Cha Albany 华府美味 — Restaurant in Upper Harbour

My family and I have been regular visitors to Asian Wok, and it never fails to hit the spot for our Chinese food cravings! This gem of a restaurant consistently delivers mouthwatering dishes with vibrant flavors that keep us coming back for more. From the moment you walk in, the warm and friendly service makes you feel right at home, and the speed at which the food arrives is impressive without compromising quality.

Some of our absolute favorites include the succulent tiger prawns, the rich and savory salted fish and eggplant casserole, and the perfectly crisp green beans fry. The steamed pork ribs are tender and packed with flavor, while the beef honeycomb in peanut sauce and kung pao chicken bring just the right balance of spice and texture. We also can’t get enough of the beef and spring onion stir-fry, which is always a crowd-pleaser. Every dish is prepared with care, showcasing authentic flavors that make every bite a delight.

The staff’s attentiveness and the welcoming atmosphere only add to the experience, making Asian Wok our go to spot for Chinese cuisine in Auckland. If you’re looking for delicious food, fast service, and a friendly vibe, I highly recommend giving Asian Wok a try, you won’t be...

We went Here for several times with my friend, her husband and her daughter and we been enjoying eating here some yummy dishes that's why we keep comming back because of the calm environment and specially with the waitres/server named MELINA. She is very accommodating and always keeping her smile while she taking care of our orders that is very lovely to start with and she always making sure that we are all settled and satisfied with our orders because of some incident that we order this sizling pork that had lots of pork fats that we actually don't feel like to eat because we been ordering this for many Times before and it's very good all meat dish but the lastime we came back it's all pork fats and since my friends daughter who is 5 years old doesn't like to eat it and us not a fan of eating faty foods, MELINA address the complaint immediately and arranged it with the chef and return the new one will full of meat no trace of fats.

To cut the story short we will be back soon because of the service of your service person MELINA, pls give her a raise or promote...

We used to love this place for yumcha but they have recently changed their menu and removed almost every one of our favourite yumcha items. No turnip cake, no savoury glutinous rice dumplings, no stuffed eggplant, no red rice rolls, no xo sauce stirfry cheung fun. Besides that a lot of items were sold out as well. In all fairness they added a few new menu items but they aren’t really yumcha style food (like steamed whole prawns on vermicelli, pumpkin congee and typhoon shelter soft shell crab).

Service has also gone down hill. We were there yesterday and were told the queue was 10 minutes for a table but ended up waiting 45 minutes. We quickly placed our orders once we sat down but ended up waiting for quite a long time only to be told our first order wasn’t placed. Luckily we had managed to nab a couple of items off a passing cart.

Poor experience and we were quite embarrassed because we took our friends there for the first time after talking it up so much only to have a very sub par dining experience.

Probably wouldn’t go there for...
