Gogo — Restaurant in Waitematā

Gogo’s food reflects their ambience-clean and well presented, as is their staff who are ever so kind, courteous and make sure you are stratified with your meal and experience. I loved their concept of malatang alongside health fitness meal and selection of dim sum. It’s a simple concept, relatively small yet carefully curated menu. If you’re after a hearty but clean feed then I’m sure they have the combo for you. There’s some vege friendly options and with how kind their service is I’m certain they would be cater for specific dietary requirements. Malatang selection included most of the standard selections, kept quite nice and tidy. Not many malatang ways of meals being made, but the broth is quite tasty and you can’t go wrong if you’re a soup fan. Health and fitness meals had some decent protein options and salad combos-good sized portions and definitely felt the health with each bite. Selected the lamb and the dates in there were extra yum. We were kindly gifted some pancakes on the house, super touched by the gesture. They’re a yummy nibble to have on the side. They’re a new local business so check them out!! Wishing them all the best in their growth, the team there are...

I came here for dinner and there was hardly any selection of hotpot ingredients out, we had to ask for more meat and it came in a dense, frozen clump.

There is no a/c but the refrigerator would be blasting unbearable hot air into the room, we had to move tables and chairs outside just to sit comfortably.

I usually enjoy this style of hotpot, however the broth was flavourless and bland - only spicy.

The range of condiments were few and far between.

Some may have better luck coming for lunch instead, or ordering off the menu, but I won't come back here.

The servers were nice and the coconut jelly...

Malatang can often taste quite unhealthy as there's typically quite a lot of chili oil in the broth, however that's not the case here at Gogo. I ordered a mild spice level for my malatang and I still got a nice numbing kick without feeling like my food was drowning in oil. It appears the concept at Gogo is healthy Chinese food without compromising on flavor. The staff here are very polite and friendly, and they kindly gave me a delicious spinach and cheese pancake on the house, although I didn't spend much as I was dining solo. I would definitely go back again to try other items...
