Paper Crane — Restaurant in Waitematā

I had a pretty disappointing experience. I ordered for a vegetarian version of laksa for my lunch and had to take way the left over to finish it at home. It was was very surprising and quite unpleasant to find a sea cucumber (worm of size 2.5cms) in my dish which made me fall sick.

I’ve shared this to their team directly on their FB page via a private message with some photos of the worm. I haven’t heard anything back which made me post it here.

Hope this helps them to take care of orders for others.

Thanks team for your response. Though I don’t expect a shrimp in veg laksa, I’d be happy to see changes to your menu as you’ve proposed with an extra bit of caution while you are preparing any veg or vegan dishes. I hope your future customers would be happy with this change....

This is one of the gems of Viaduct Auckland. No matter how busy they are, you can expect your order within 10 minutes. There are a number of tables inside but it can be quite cramped, but this isn't a problem as you can get it either on the outside tables, or get it takeaway and have it on the beanbag couches in the area, or you can wander across the road to Victoria Park and catch the envious glances of people in Activewear who would rather be eating your delicious food. I'm currently a fan of the Red Chicken Curry which is fantastic which generous chunks of chunky fried chicken, potatoes. Comes with a side of rice and is a guilty pleasure. Staff are efficient, friendly and helpful even if you turn up before they open demanding...

Been here several times now. I’ve invited colleagues and recommend this place to several people. No disappointments so far!

My favourite dish would have to be the salmon as it’s just always done so perfectly, not over cooked and the complimentary sauce and topping just make it my top pick.

I have a thing for fried chicken too and theirs is no slouch on how chicken should be fried up! I did expect alittle more spice to the spicy chicken and I feel it’s alittle mild. Overall still a great tasting dish.

I’d highly recommend Paper Crane for work lunches! IMPORTANT! Book before hand as it gets really packed really quickly into lunch time! Place is alittle small too.. but that’s not...
