Reviews White And Wong's - Viaduct, Auckland

We are here one afternoon for a late arvo/early dinner. We got sat outside which I originally was skeptical of, but it was nice and right by the pier on the water and the sun was out and it was beautiful. A very busy restaurant! But somehow very quaint. For our early dinner we started with a Bang bang chicken salad which had incorporated chicken and peanut satay style flavours with zingy coriander and beautiful fresh lime. It was absolutely fantastic and delicious, I was originally against ordering a salad but I would definitely go out of my way to eat this again. We followed it up with a classic pork/prawn fried rice which was exactly what you'd expect but had a beautiful smoky/charcoal flavour to the rice which just elevated the dish to another level. With this we also had the char siu pork fillet, which to me is a requirement for any good Chinese meal and the flavour was beautiful and really well paired with its dipping sauce but also with the fried rice! We also had as an aside the Duck and Chive Xiao long bao. If you aren't familiar with these they are Chinese soup dumplings- that is a duck and chive mix immersed in a rich flavorful broth- inside a dumpling. My only concern is they are typically served with a flat bottomed soup spoon as you are supposed to bite them drink the soup, and then eat the dumpling. But hardly a complaint, as the flavor was so outstanding, such a rich umami flavor with the broth and the duck and chive was a good combination. We washed it all down with some ice cold wines and ciders and overall was an excellent afternoon for it's price. I would urge people to try this place when they come to the viaduct!

Ambience and service was particularly good here. Food the usual nice stuff from White and Wongs. Orders can take a long time. Arguably worth the wait. Better order some drinks first.

I have heard of W+W for some time. So I have high expectations. It's now a well established restaurant. In most cases, there won't be any wow factors here. The dishes are nice, but not the chicken noodle soup which is overpriced.

Was craving Asian food and this definitely fulfilled that! Good sized portions and great location at the harbour area. Best to book beforehand as it gets quite busy.

Went there on a Tue night and couldn't believe how busy and vibey it was. Amazing location right on the waterfront, incredible interior decor (especially the jungle-like bathrooms). The service was friendly and attentive and the food variety and taste was so divine. Would definitely go back there.

Amazing waterfront restaurant experience! Cozy interior seating, beautiful waterfront seating, staff are friendly and fast, food and drinks were delicious. Wheelchair access on upper levels, best parking is one of the two main parking garages near Quay St, or there is some AT street parking (metered) within 500m of the restaurant. Lots of Lime/Beam scooters around too!

Hands down best oysters I have ever had, and I’ve had my fair share (oysters with chilli jam and crispy shallots).The kingfish sashimi was fresh and zingy in all the right ways. The bang bang chicken salad was full of delicious flavour and crunch. Duck and chive xiao long bao balanced the soup and filling well and packed a great flavour. The only disappointment with the Hapuna curry was that I had to share it with the table, and my husband would say the same for the shaking beef which also won us over.We sat outside in winter, but were warm in the covered in space. The view of the harbour and the lighting all added to the special ambience.Service was fast and friendly.Can’t wait to come back!
