Good quality food, prompt service, and generous servings! My stewed pork belly on rice was really yum and the rice is soaked in sweet brown sauce. Deep fried pork strips with pepper was really tasty (would love to have a lil bit more salt please). I like he way the food is cooked fresh and not so oily unlike other places. Defs worth trying!
I reckon this is the best restaurant in the area! Me and my fam come to here every week for family night. The dumplings here are devin! And the crispy pork with sweet and sour are simply the best dish to die for!
Will definitely recommend everyone to try!

Had some pretty good fried pork, chive and prawn dumplings here! They also have relatively clean containers for chilli oil, vinegar and soy compared to a lot of the local shops. The spring onion pancakes are also quite nice. One negative is they said they were zomato gold but the staff member we spoke to didn’t know how to do it.

🎊With over 200 dishes on the menu, from xiao long bao to dumplings, classic dishes to casual noodles, BYO to occasional dinner. Whatever you craving, New Flavour gets you sorted.
We got a good variety of food! The xiaolongbao is perfect, decent size with great flavour! Instead of a traditional Chinese dumpling flavour, we went for the pork mince, bacon and cheese dumplings. It's an unusual flavour, but I actually quite like it, the cheese flavour does make the dumpling taste quite heavy tho.
Kung pao chicken is mildly spicy, super flavorful! The chicken pieces are really tender, a great dish choice for a BYO dinner. The flavour of fried noodles is incredible, but the noodles inside are quite short, not really satisfying when trying to pick them up, if you know what I mean.😅 Deep-fried eggplants with pork mince are quite oily but surprisingly delicious!
Overall, these dishes all have excellent flavour, good portion size and relatively low price.
Holidays are coming up, if you need a good Chinese restaurant for some family gatherings, friends catch up or pre-party BYO dinner. Look no further! 😉
With over 200 dishes on the menu, choosing what to order was a tough process. We got some of the classic Chinese dishes such as Sweet & Sour Pork, Xiao Long Bao, Tomato & Egg on rice and Combination Fried Noodles. We also tried out pork mince, bacon & Cheese dumplings which was an interesting combination but with the cheese, something I feel like you would get sick of if you had too much of. The deep fried eggplant wiht pork mince was something new for me and surprisingly better than expected. Also enjoyed the Foundry Kumara dessert, which had crunchy cornflake sugary coating, something sweeter to finish off the meal.
Popular for BYOs, the restaurant was fairly quiet when we got there at 6pm but it wasn't long before it got busy and loud. With endless dishes on their menu, there's something for everyone, making it a great place for an affordable meal with the squad.
Check out my insta @ohmyfoodiegoodie to follow more of my tried eats!
If you're looking for BYO casual Chinese restaurant @newflavour_auckland is the place! All their dishes were full of flavour and really warms the tummy - perfect for comfort food. Their XLB is pretty good where the pastry isn't too thick and there's substantial meat inside. We tried the new dumplings 🥟with cheese 🧀 inside which had a really interesting flavour and texture where the cheese has melted with the meat. I'd definitely recommend sharing this dish as the cheese can feel a bit heavy! Their sweet n sour pork was also another highlight where their flavour was just 👌🏼 wasn't too sweet or too sour. The sizzling plate is really cool and there's A LOT of meat so again, perfect for sharing. The most interesting dish would be the deep fried 🍆 with mince inside. Doesn't even feel like you're eating your veggies but you are 😉 Make sure you go on an empty stomach as you should expect to be in a food coma after 🤤
LOVE this place. Every time my friends and I come here we fill the entire table with food!! Crispy sweet and sour pork.. best I’ve ever had. It isn’t hard and chewy like you get from other places. It’s fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Dumplings - amazing, fried noodles - amazing, fried rice - amazing everything on the menu is amazing. Staff are always smiling and friendly. Forever a favourite of mine.
A great variety of food choices which are priced at reasonably well and definitely affordable. Great food, really enjoy the noodle soup dishes but my favourite dish are the prawn and egg dumplings fried. Really flavoursome and worth the money. Always my go-to if I am wanting something cheap and filling + tasty.
dumplings & noodles are full of flavour. Best I’ve had to date. Plenty of seating. Byo & they open til 4am which is awesome!
My favourite place to get dumplings!
I have been going here since I was 18 - do the math… so a very long time!!!
Always order the same dumplings - Pork & Chives - they never disappoint.
The best part is that they are open till the early hours of the morning – I would much rather go here than McDonald’s after a night of dancing!
Ordered the fried tofu with peanuts and chilli sauce and the prawn, eggs and chives dumplings. The tofu itself was great, definitely one of the better tofu dishes I’ve had. Prices were very reasonable, lots of main dishes around the $15 mark and a good variety of vegetarian and tofu dishes too.
We had the prawn egg and chive fried dumplings and the garlic chilli and peanut tofu. Tofu was really tasty although could have been a little more spicy. Dumplings were prity good to, some of the better dumplings I have had in Auckland. Price was slightly cheaper on average for this type of place. Quite a noisy environment to be in unfortunately and the service is your usual basic for this type of place as well. I'll be back to try some more dishes.
Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted by far! Loved the variety offered here. 1am/2am drives are worth it for some quality dumplings. Serving portions are generous. It’s a pity that the waiting can sometimes be ridiculously long but it is a very popular place for people to go to.
The special chilli peanut tofu dish is super tasty, it’s part of a seperate menu, would definitely recommend it. The vibes are the same as every other dominion road eatery.
The service is amazing. Such excellent attention to when we are ready to order and quick service.
The food is great and the atmosphere is pretty good. Highly recommend for the dumplings. Soooo yum.
Wow! Is all I can say.
Love, Love Love this place. Super extensive menu.
Place super clean and modern...can’t forget to mention fab staff. Will def be back with other foodies 😘😘😘
Had family dinner here, love the stir fried spicy liver, really delicious！ staffs are all friendly and helpful, service very fast, environment is ok
Came for a BYO & was pleasantly surprised. Has recently been renovated so it’s clean and bright inside. The menu is extensive too and so cheap! We had the beef and chive fried dumplings which were so juicy and flavoursome and also the diced chicken with peanut and chilli sauce on noodles which was something quite different but delicious also! Def would come back and try more!
Gosh we just loveeee New Flavour 😘. Since the interior and kitchen refresh, it has just got better and better! love the crispy spring onion pancakes and always have these to dip in all of the delicious sauces. The crispy green beans with chilli salt, on their special menu, are next level!! Crispy chicken strips sweet and sour, chicken fried rice, pan fried pork and chive dumplings and a beef with spring onions = a good time. 💕
Always good coming back to New Flavour.
We ordered pork belly with green beans in brown sauce, chicken in black sauce on noodles & chicken pan fried dumplings! Delicious!
Great service with the waiters welcoming us as soon as we opened the door.
A good place to come once in a while.
Dice chicken with peanuts and chilli is the most delicious dish on this planet, sincerely. Eggplant is also a good choice. By the way, service is good.
I come here for late night feeds if I’m lost on what to eat. They provide cheap food for good authentic quality Chinese food. If you’re not sure what to eat, they have mostly everything! dumplings, rice, noodles, salads, stir fry and more varieties. I always order their cucumber salad because it is so fresh, and always a plate of dumplings and fried rice. You leave so full and the staff are always super friendly! Good to come with friends as well.
The place to go with friends! Perfect for a late snack! They are open until very late. Great dumplings. Good service. The place can be a bit too noisy, but it is bearable. A classic.
One of my favourite late night dinner haunts. I keep on coming back for their Braided Eggplant in Bean sauce and their sweet and sour pork ribs. Fantastic value for money, clean enough. There is sometimes a wait if it’s busy, at other times it comes lightning fast.
Pork and chive dumplings and tofu and spring onion salad my go to whenever hitting this joint! Love the convenience of the opening hours. Also had the garlic bokchoy which was delish! Food is served fast more often than not. Good lil place to go any night of the week for some thing cheap and cheerful
Good customer service, very tasty food 🥘 nice decor. Best thing is it’s open late 2am. Ordered the beef casserole 🥘 with side rice 🍚. Satisfied.
Been here a few times now and I have never left hungry or disappointed! They have always delivered on taste and most impressed by the speed in which they bring the food out. I already recommend this place to others that have not tried it yet.
Cute little joint in Dominion Road, always great for a BYO. The food isn't the most amazing food in Auckland but for a Friday night it is always worth a visit for some shredded pancake and chicken on rice.
Very good, yummy and cheap Chinese restaurant. Love the dumplings and the pork belly, that comes with a finger licking sauce.
Also love the fact that you can eat so much and still spend like $15.
This place is amazing the food is beautiful. Full of flavour and very quick to come out and the price is very reasonable much cheaper than McDonald’s and better I would recommend this to place to anyone, the service is also great.
Just one thing I would have to note is the toliet upstairs is really awful it smells really bad like it hasn’t been cleaned in a long time, toliet paper holder is broken and confetti is all over the walls. It needs to have a good make over and a automatic air fresher on the wall and it will be great but other than that I would be coming back again to this place it is amazing the kitchen is downstairs and the toliet is upstairs so it’s not close together
Great place for dumplings - Steamed/Fried and even in a soup. One of my personal favourites. The place to go to when you have 2:30am cravings for dumplings :)
So busy! Amazing place for a causal weeknight dinner with friends. And fantastic value. We ordered 5 dishes to share between the 5 of us and splitting the bill came to only $13 each! Stoked students! Loads of yummy options. Highly recommend the sizzling beef (so good) and any of the dumplings. Will 100% come back here, to eat in or takeaway
Amazing!!! It only cost approximately $50 for our whole group of four. Including a plate of veggies, 2x large plates of dumplings, and 2x sweet pancakes. So filling and delicious. With a complimentary pot of tea. Service was average, not very attentive. Didnt bring us napkins, or were reachable for forks for those of us that were chopstick challenged, and had to ask for the dessert menu and to take our order. But the cheapness of a good meal outweighed the service to make it a good night out. Will definitely be back again. P.s the red bean pancake is so so good!!

New Flavour is one of Dominion Road's most popular eateries, and for a good reason. It's by no means fancy but it'll certainly have you coming back for more! We come here on the regular when we are feeling like a tasty, cheap meal that is satisfyingly flavoursome and a good balance of naughty and nice.
It gets extremely busy at regular dinner times, particularly nearer and on the weekends (avoid the 7-8 rush if you can). The staff members are efficient, there is no fuss made and you're seated as quickly as possible. Tables and menus are slightly sticky but it's to be expected and honestly adds to the experience - a well used menu is a good sign! We absolutely love the vegetable dumplings, garlic bok choy, and the cucumber and dried tofu salads among many others. The tea is tasty and not overbrewed, and there are all the essential condiments on each table for easy access.
Best of all, they are more than happy to point out vegan dishes for those with dietary requirements. It is much appreciated and alongside the delicious food is why we keep returning for more. Fast, affordable and to-the-point - a favourite of ours!
Food: 4.5/5
Service: 4/5
Ambience: 4/5
Always enjoy the dumplings from here. I enjoy them boiled and usually order the egg, chives and prawn because I'm pescitarian. You get 20 handmade dumplings per serve and the lovely lady at the cashier has managed to remember us and our order every time me and my partner go in. We never really order much else though just because the dumplings are filling. Can be a 20-30 min wait that is worth it. Only downfall is because it gets so busy sometimes the noise level is too high for our liking but that's because the restaurant is not as large as say, Burger King or McDonald's. Enjoy!
It is amazing and all the food and it is a shame that it has such small room for customers
Chicken is good dumplings are good and sauce is good everything is good
The menu was extensive. This area is our regular late-night eating spot. The restaurant is much cleaner now since the renovation and probably new owner. Dumpling was a bit disappointing. We ordered the pork, prawns and chives. The fillings were good but the pastry was a bit too thick and super oily (we ordered the fried ones). The sizzling beef with black beans was nice a tasty. The bill was $60 for 3 people. A nice place for cheap and quick eat as there was not much service here (we had to get walk to the servers to get attention as there was no eye contact though the restaurant was not totally full).
Saw this one on Zomato randomly. The pork and chives dumplings and the home style noodles with sweet and sour pork, are our favourite. You should book over the weekend, they are usually packed. Strongly recommended for your late night cravings, it's pretty much the only restaurant open in this area after mid-night. The service is quite quick, but yeah, it's really cheap food, so i guess you can ask for everything.
It is my favour. Nice and tasty. Will come back. Great location as well.
I loved the food as it taste like my hometown.
I never had such favour Chinese food in New Zealand. I ll bring my kiwi friend to the restaurant to taste real Chinese food. Thanks
I think this is good place to go. I like the food and drinks in the restaurant. It is a good experience in new zealand. I also brings my homestay who are kiwi to go ，they said they want to come back again. My friend would have a big birthday party next week，we want to come to the restaurant and order all of the food what we wanted.
Have been to this restaurant a couple of times, super good food, especially the stir fried beef, highly recommended, also their dumplings are quite good too, with big portion, only for $13. It's one of my late night craving restaurant in Balmoral.
We visited New Flavour on a Thursday evening and ordered take away. We ordered Pork and fennel dumplings, sweet and sour pork with two servings of rice for $30 for two. The Sweet and sour pork and rice was good, the dumplings however weren't for us as it was one of the first times we had tried fennel. The girl at the till was absolutely lovely and this made up for the 30 minute wait time.
MY FAVOURITE PLACE TO EAT 👏🏽👏🏽
The food is such good value for money and super delicious.
The staff are nice-ish, however I don’t think they should be discredited for their attitude seeing as they work from 5pm to 4am each night.
My must try’s are the bok choy with mashed garlic, eggplant with brown sauce and the veggie dumplings.
I come back here at least once a month or whenever my wallet allows. Soooo gooooodddd!!
Awesome dumplings!!! Super yummy food I've eaten one of pretty much anything you can get made vegan - sweet and sour tofu is my favourite. Had a caramelised kumara dish which was sweet and crunchy and totally delicious for dessert.
Been a regular here for ages now. Tbh it was better before the original owner left, but it's still pretty good. We always have the pork and chives dumplings and the home style noodles with sweet and sour pork. We took a Chinese native here once and she said it wasn't authentic, but to us it's tasty. Not as greasy as other places we've been to. Ask for less salt in the noodle dishes
The food is great! I go back atleast once a week. The dumplings are great, especially the pork prawn and chives. My go-to is the diced chicken with peanuts on rice. I feel that the ratio of rice to topping could be better (should be more topping). Can't wait to try more of their many options!
highly recommend dumpling restaurant. dumpling making is in a satisfied size and tasted surprisingly good. side dishes are really good as well.
hands down the best daily go around place in my opinion. thx New Flavor. much love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The food here is definitely great value for money. Generous portions for what you pay. There's a huge variety of dishes to choose from like dumplings, soup noodle, rice noodle, fried rice and all kinds of meat and vegetable dishes. Tasty and well seasoned. Restaurant itself looks a little run down and old. But if you don’t mind that then this restaurant is definitely for you.
great place for dumplings！！！Cheap！！！nice！！！Love the new dumpling flavours，Laobian Pork and fennel，that's the best，you must try！！！Deluxe crispy pork sweet and sour，amazing！！！
Went on a Monday night and thankfully the place wasn't too packed. Ordered the vegetarian dumplings, fried tofu with sweet and sour sauce (no egg) and a side of rice. Both food and service was good. Would definitely visit again.
Absolutely delicious! Our go to spot, but not an awesome venue. Always better for takeaway. The dumplings are the best and the bok choy is cooked perfect
Whether it be apart of a BYO dinner, a small group or with one other person, New Flavour never disappoints. Quick, cheap and easy. The food is always good and who isn't down for some dumplings at 3am? A favourite of mine.
I've been coming here semi-regularly for the last few years now and always guaranteed to satisfy your dumpling craving.
I went tonight with friends and despite the yummy food this place has always been pretty cheap and careful, however tonight they had upped there game slightly. Overall cleanliness seemed to have improved since last coming here a few months ago. It was also good to see they have recently reprinted their menu, which used to always be a bit touch and go.
Recommendations: Pork and chives dumplings never disappoint. Beef and coriander is also a goodie. To top it off you can never go past a cucumber salad.
Also a quick tip is to ask for little bowls so you can mix your own dipping sauce concoction 👌🏼
Best place ever and the best dumplings, also have a massive and great menu and really great prices. The best food but the service can be a little slow at times but they are always friendly and always go there as they know my order as soon as I walk in the door.
I love dumplings and because this is in my area it's one of my favs. Dumplings here are always the goods. You've got to get in on the braised eggplant it is orgasmic. Great for a cheap feed and awesome for groups.
Love this place. Good value dumplings, fun place to eat with friends. It's a popular place though so definitely recommend booking in advance where possible!
The fried vegetarian dumplings here are delicious! Gotten a few times now. You get a decent amount of dumplings for the price. Additionally the vegetarian fried rice is good too, though smells strongly of peanuts even though you can't taste them (perhaps uses peanut oil).
Only downside is their menu is confusing with a section on "vegetables", which i assumed was for vegetarians, but it has meat in this section.
Suggested by two of my friends, this busy Balmoral restaurant has a nice menu filled with goodies. Had the Chicken and Chives dumplings and did try my friends pancake. Did come at peak time you could say and had to wait for 30 minutes still even though we rang 15 minutes prior. Food was delicious but service time needs to be improved.
Were ordered about 9 platters of food for takeaway. Food was served reasonably quickly, 25 minutes, and was still hot after reaching home. Opening hours are super convenient and the grub tasted nice.
Came here during peak hours so had to wait for a table.
Service was kind of slack, but understandable.
Their portions were pretty small compared to other places, but I guess that's what you'd expect for the relatively cheap price you're paying for.
Ordered the spicy diced fried chicken, small portion, half the plate was just red chillies instead of CHICKEN, so it was disappointing. Also had the sweet and sour pork, small portion once again but flavour was ok.
Flavour wise, not too bad, not the best either.
Lots of dishes to choose from though which is always a good thing.
May be back to try other dishes.
This is my favourite place in balmoral for a BYO. Delicious food and great atmosphere. Their black pepper sizzling beef and spicy beans are the best!
Some of the best dumplings in Auckland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is definitely one of the stand outs on Dominion Road. Their dumplings are very good compared to other Asian restaurants and price to portion size is fair. However their other menu items are standard and unimpressionable. I would advise calling in to book your order as waiting times can be very long (place is always busy). Open till late so always a bonus!
Food: I personally love the dan dan noodles they do here. They don't have sichuan pepper in them which i am very glad for (they taste literally like what you would imagine moss balls to taste like and they numb your mouth of its taste). Their cucumber & dried tofu salad is a great entree, but they recently added corriander to the dish which doesn't really go well with the sauce. Dumplings have started to become smaller than they usually were.
Environment: usually its super busy and you have to wait around on busy evenings. Also being not too strict on BYOs, it tends to attract the large younger crowds which at times make it a too noisy.
Price: i used to think the price was fair, but i have found that the portions of food served seem to reduce. Compared to other dumpling shops they seem to be slightly on the expensive side.
May return if the crave their dan dan noodles, but would'nt be rushing back for their dumplings.
I haven't been to new flavours for a while since i heard that the owner moved to new lynn. How ever last night i had a craving for their combination pancakes and sweet and sour pork, so we drove to dominion road around 9pm for a late dinner.
The place was pretty quiet, given it was a Monday night. We ordered a plate of stir fried broccoli with garlic, combinations pancake (its like combination meat fried noodles, but instead of noodles... it was sliced pancake) and a plate of sweet and sour pork.
Both the broccoli dishes and the pancake dishes were extra yum! The sweet and sour pork however was quite average. I mean it was still nice but, it is definitely not the same dish as before. It was more sweet than sour and it wasn't as crispy.
But overall I thought the foods were pretty decent, efficient service... and they were pretty cheap.
The best dumplings in NZ for me ! My favorite is mutton and fennel pan fried dumplings ! The cucumber and tofu salad is so amazing,If you came to there you must try it ! They BYO only charge for $3 !
Great place for Chinese food. Local tasty like mom made. It is a good place for try traditional Chinese food. Even have change a little for kiwi's taste.
I like new flavour. The food there is so yum. Pork and chives fried dumplings are my favourite. I recommended the restaurant to my friends already, and I will go the restaurant again and try some new dishes.
Come Saturday night for a family dinner, 8 people plus two
kids. Made the reservation before. Very clean for a casual Chinese restaurant and easy parking. So busy, many takeaway as well, but still felt polite service. Total cost just a little bit more than $90 and had some left overs
We had ordered:
Shredded potato salad
Pork and beef dumplings
Pork and pickled cabbage dumplings
-- recommended by my Chinese colleague, so amazing !!!
pork and chives dumplings
combination fried noodles
combination fried pancake
Fried pork strips with sweet and sour sauce
mushroom bok choy w garlic
The whole family are dumplings lover and really glad to find here, so so so satisfied, the chill sauce served on each table is so good !
dishes come fast! the best tofu and cucumber salad I had before!!! I really like the pork fennel dumplings, beef chives dumplings, succulent meat, fresh vegetable,
the prawn ball is impressed and will absolutely to come again, the hot tea make me feel warm and comfortable, Staffs are all busy, but still patient introduce us and recommend dishes according to our needs, we spent less than one hour to finish the dinner and feel really satisfied.
Love this restaurant and the food is really delicious the most popular one is dumpling and bokchoy with garlic. The waiter's attitude is nice and so many people in this restaurant so sometimes is really busy
The absolute best dumplings in the city bar none. Someone at work told me about this place, saying that the chicken and coriander dumplings were amazing as were the chicken and onion ones. I highly recommend the chicken coriander dumplings steamed.
The place is not known for its ambience so you know that you are solely paying for the food and the taste. It's not expensive at all and the options are healthier than most other takeaway places.
On a night in, it is the perfect solution to rid yourself of the task of having to cook.
Love the chicken coriander and vegetarian dumplings，so nice. The deep fired chicken with chilli oil，the （potatoes，eggplants，capsicum with garlic）also really tasty，oh，don't forget the tofu cucumber salad，big menu，every one can find the thing you want！Service is good，quick and nice. Will keep coming！
Best place for some dumplings. Our favorite is the prawn pork and chives dumpling(Fried). The crispy beans and deep fried pork stuffed egg plant is our all time go to dish.
This place is the biggest saviour for middle of the night hunger attacks. I am a big asian street food fan but not as impressed by new flavours as its popularity and fame goes. No doubt the dumplings are good and I have had them on various occasions. The biggest highlight was walking in after 4am when it was closed and all packed and the staff still served us food for takeaway knowing we were hungry. Food is good, positions are huge, very cheap, always find place to sit, is BYO, and service is quick. I love their dumpling soup which is just a $1 extra. But I am not a big fan of the dumplings. Must try especially in the wee hrs this is the best place close to the city to go to.
I love this place. 20 vegan dumplings for $15 = yes. Shredded tofu and cucumber salad was amazing. and kumara in hot toffee for dessert was new and delicious. Fast service even though it was busy. Took my left overs home in a takeaway container :D Oh and super affordable, two people with left overs for $55.
I usually work till late night in this area and this place is open at that time. They are perfect!! My usual order is the chicken fried rice and prawns and pork dumplings. I have never been disappointment with them and have tried other things on the menu as well. They have good customer service and are very friendly and quick with turning out orders. The food here is delicious and they give very generous portions. The place is clean and always busy which is also a very good sign. They are my go to for late night dinners. Make sure to give this place a go I'm sure they will soon become you go to soon.

First time came with my friends on Friday night, this place is highly recommended by all my friends who love Chinese food by me. Predictably, it was very busy with many people lining up for a table or ordering takeaway, we didn't wait so long and got one table, but I will book a table before!💃🏻
They serviced Chinese tea before we ordering, I really appreciated. The menu design and wall decoration expressed me, it likes be in China. We definitely ordered dumplings, the vegetarian dumplings with fragrant mushroom, preserved vegetable and tofu is so yummy. I also particularly enjoyed the prawn, chives and pork dumplings, we made it half steamed and half fried, the dumplings skin was taste tender and meat was well seasoned.
The deep fried sliced pork with sweet and sour sauce was really great combination! To my surprise, sizzling chicken with chili fermented soya beans is so juicy that go with rice. Cucumber and tofu salad wouldn't miss, I really curious how they mix the spices to make this in credible flavor, you must try, trust me.
Don't miss spring onion pancake and brown sugar pancake !! I saw the table beside ordered pancake, so we tried and the result didn't disappoint definitely.
Even though many to accommodate, the staffs were attentive and food came are relative quick. twenty dumplings are about $11, and we spent about $17 per person to enjoy a satisfied dinner. We also takeaway the food haven't finished.
Decidedly average dumplings but the other menu items are delicious.
Would recommend the dried tofu and cucumber salad. Coriander and chilli oil livens up the otherwise bland tofu and cucumber.
The stir fried pork belly with green beans was quite good. It's plenty flavourful despite having no sauce.
Best to give the egg, chive, and shrimp dumplings a miss. They were too soggy and watery, plus the filling didn't hold together.
This place is great for affordable food which is equally tasty.
The service is good and the food is serve quickly.
Note to self though : Never seat on the very corner for so called 'privacy setting'...it's really hot and humid once you stay in there for more than 30min. My and my friends are sweating and no its not because of spicy food.
Plenty of seats and good for large group.
Definitely will come back. ☺
Tasty and good soup but better if place was a bit tidier
Food was good though and a lot for the price
Enjoyed the dumplings and good thanks.
Good chinese food but thank you and will return
Great dumpling spot, been there many times whether its for dinner or whether its 2:30am after a night out. Doesnt dissapoint.
Pork and fennel dumplings- yeap
Spring onion pancake
Use vinegar
The service is friendly and prompt. The menu is massive. I've been here a few times and never felt the need to eat the same thing twice. The food is great too, my pick of the bunch on Dominion.
My fave place. I've been coming here for years. Great dumplings and noodles all made at the restaurant. My go to dishes are usually the pork and chives dumplings, beef brisket soup noodles, and either the red bean pancakes or spring onions pancakes.
With recent expansion (and move of restaurant) there is a whole lot more seating space with an upstairs area. The food has changed a little since the original restaurant but still good food for cheap :)
I always enjoy New Flavour for a casual, cheap dinner. They definately do the best dumplings! I prefer NF to Barilla, the service here is much better and the staff are friendlier.
Favourite dishes would be the fried pork and chives dumplings, chilli chicken and brown sugar pancakes. To be honest, im not so much a fan of the other rice/noodle/meat dishes. The meat is usually low quality and very fatty/chewy to eat (especially the lamb and beef) but the dumplings and pancakes will not disappoint!
Flavor flav as we call it. When it's 2am on a Saturday night. Or midnight on a Thursday. You're hangry. Where you gonna go. NEW FLAVOR. We have never had any issues here. The sweet and sour crispy chicken is always extra crispy, the beans are always hot, the tea is free, and you must Order pancakes to mop up all the sauces. Ends up being a cheap night out when you have lots of people to share. Just remember they're closed Tuesday's.
NF is another great place on Dom Rd for flavoursome dumplings. We have been lucky enough not to have had to wait too long to get a seats for our groups and just like Barilla, these guys offer real value for money and the food's really tasty.
Steamed dumplings again being the preference but this time w. the savoury pancakes. All flavour combinations work and those delicious green beans. Something we can never quite recreate @ home.
We've walked past New flavour many times and it's continuously busy, so we decided to check it out. The service is pretty average and you may find yourself flagging down the staff to get some attention. The interior could do with a bit of work but there is a reasonable amount of seating.
There menu is huge - there should be something for everyone! We opted for two vegetarian dishes to share between my partner and I – vegetarian fried noodles ($10) and the braised tofu with brown sauce ($12.80). Both dishes were really tasty, well portioned and good value for money.
What can I say. This is one of the reasons I keep coming back to New Zealand.
Normally I'm with between 3 and 10 other people and it's cranking busy and so full of smiles and laughs from a hip looking twenty something crowd of mt Albert, Eden and Dominion road dwellers.
So hip.
Much dumpling.
Very China.
This time it was so quiet. Only two other tables.
Ok. Back to the food.
You HAVE to order the cucumber and fried tofu. You will not regret.
Also.. Get your dumplings fried. Is only way.
Also. Make good use of byo. Bottle shop down the road. Green tea good.
Chilli chicken amazing.
I can't contain myself this place is just so great.
Staff are quirky and a bit over it but sweet and you gotta just roll with it.
Upstairs has big tables with lazy Susan's. Be careful. Experiments into centrifugal forces can result in a disaster. This has already been tested.
Just get there as fast as you can and eat some. Open late too!!
♥️♥️♥️

New flavour is phenomenal. People go for dumplings, but many have yet to realise the real gem here is the food itself. I'll go solo after work, drunk at 2am on Saturday night, or with crews of up to 15, and the food is always bangin! 5 stars to chilli oil chicken, tofu and cucumber salad, fried squid with cumin, braised eggplant in brown sauce, and the list goes on.
Service ain't flash, but it's part of the experience and makes for many laughs. Also, it's BYO, so really what more could you ask for in a cheap and cheerful restaurant.
Highly recommend, would go again at least 5 times in the next month. BOOM. Make me a VIP already. I must be at least 2000 dumplings in by now.
Yum Yum Yum!
Pork and Chives Dumplings - So Good!
Pork and Prawn Dumplings - Good but above are better!
We also had a side of beans with pork belly and it was delicious!
My friends come here all the time and rave about it so I decided this time I would join and im glad I did. Loved it.
Will definately be back again soon.
The vegetarian fried noodles and dumplings were both vegan-friendly and were absolutely delicious. They were very reasonably priced and you got a lot of food for the little you paid. The only real let down was the interior, it was very cold and a lot of tape was used to cover areas where drafts were coming through. Not the nicest of atmospheres. Would return again however, purely for the food.
On night shift, thought I would grab a meal from here. Had the "fried tofu with peanuts and chilli sauce" at 2:30am, was quite an enjoyable meal and staff were quite friendly. Good stuff!
The best part was the price, everything was so cheap and the portions of food were large. You really got your money's worth. The food was flavoured well, could it have been better yes, but you really can't complain when you consider how much you get with what you pay. The dumplings were delicious and the noodles were really good. Will definitely be going back.
I love New Flavour so much. We nearly always get the same thing: Beef and coriander dumplings (fried) and pork, prawn and chive dumplings (steamed). They're so fresh and tasty, no overload of grease or salt. I love biting into them and getting the hit of juicy delicious broth and tender meat filling. Other items on the menu I highly recommend are:
- Deep fried chicken in chili oil (don't miss this)
- Stir fried bok choy with mashed garlic
- Sweet and sour tofu balls
- Lemon chicken
I probably go here at least once a fortnight and for $10-12 for a plate of dumplings it never breaks the bank... unless we go a bit crazy and order lots of stuff. But then we have leftovers for days so that's okay :)
Price 4/5
Service 3/5
Food 3.5/5
Atmosphere 3/5
Fantastic sweet pork than dumpling than more dishes
Everyday busy busy. Come and try.
Been eating here since 2008 & every time I dine here, we always get the same thing & I have never been disappointed! Chilli chicken, dumplings & sweet and sour pork with rice.
New flavour is hands down the best joint on dominion road!
If you're after THE BEST order of food money can buy, order:
- cucumber and tofu salad
- crispy fried pork in sweet and sour sauce
- chicken and coriander dumplings
- sizzling tofu
You will thank me!
The service here is variable but there is one awesome chick who really makes the place!
My favorite dumpling place in Auckland! So cheap and soooo yummy! We always order the pork chives and prawn steamed dumplings plus combination fried noodles. In less than 30 dollars we always go home happy and satisfied! Plus the place is clean compared to other chinese restos in dominion. Not to mention their staff are a lot nicer than those from Barilla (sorry bad experience from the rival dumpling place) peace! 😀
New Flavour was great!
It was after midnight and I had a craving for Chinese that needed to be quenched.
New Flavour is open until around 3am so you can get your late night fix if needed!
I ordered the crispy pork with sweet and sour sauce, the lemon chicken, beef and coriander dumplings and fried garlic beans with mushrooms.
My face = 😍😍😍😁
The crispy pork is worth a visit alone, it's delicious! The sauce is thick and sweet, the pork is fresh, hot and crispy. The dumplings come in a large serving (the photo below only shows half) and steamed, they're juicy and hot. The beans were a great accompaniment, being tart and fresh enough to cleanse the palate between dishes, and I love garlic you can see! My only critique would be that the tea was a bit weak and needed a strainer to stop excess leaf overflow into the cups when being poured. Overall, from the dishes I chose, New Flavour is a gem hidden away in balmoral.
Definitely worth a try!
New Flavour is everything you want and more. Although it's nice to go to fancy restaurants with fancy service, sometimes you just want dumplings without chirpy waiters asking if you want more water. New Flavour delivers on that. It's the perfect place to bring a couple of friends and just chat about life over dumplings.
As for the food? I've only ever tried the dumplings and the fried noodles, but both are fantastic. My personal favourite is the pork mince and coriander dumplings, which I then smother in the chilli sauce from the table. It's a great sharing plate though, as often one plate of dumplings will leave three of us full and unable to move.
Definitely worth checking out, plus it's super cool who you run into here. Loads of people you'd never expect to see out and about.
Delicious, cheap and quick. Exactly what you want from Dominion Rd. The cucumber and tofu salad is delicious, as are the dumplings. We always end up ordering too much, which just means delicious lunch the next day.
A friend of mine recommended this place a long time ago and last night we decided to dine here! Usually we eat at spicy house which is only a few restaurants down the road, but tonight we were feeling a little adventurous.
I ordered the chicken with peanut and spicy sauce and my partner ordered the Mongolian spicy chicken?! With a bowl of rice... We also ordered one pancake with spring onion.
The food was surprisingly really good! I enjoyed both dishes, however I swapped my partner for his dish as I found his more enjoyable :p the pancake was really good too! It's basically a roti lol next time I will order 5. The service is below average - but that's what you would expect from a balmoral Asian restaurant
In summary I totally recommend this place! Very tasty.
Finally came here! Based on reviews I expected a slightly better version of barilla, and that's exactly what I got!
The restaurant is super clean and fairly spacious. We arrived around 9.30pm so it was easy to get a seat on the ground level. The service is the bare minimum, but it's all you need/ expect from a place like New Flavour.
We ordered the vegetarian, and pork, prawn, and chive dumplings. One steamed and the other fried. Great value for money. Both were delicious, even the vegetarian surprised me with how tasty it was. (p.s both a lot less oily than barilla). We also got the chicken with chilli and peanuts on noodles which was also very tasty.
If I'm craving dumplings this will be the go to from now on.
I love this place for dumplings and wines with friends! The service here is quite a bit friendlier than Barilla and the food comes out quick and piping hot.
I love love love their dumplings and broccoli. The garlic broccoli is insane I crave it constantly.
Branched out and tried the dried tofu and cucumber salad -really good
Tried to vegetarian fried noodles and the deep fried egg plant - also tasty
They're not the best dumplings I've ever had but for the price, service and BYO that's offered I'm definitely hooked.
New flavor Recently got a make over and I'm glad it did. A little more spacious now and we don't have to cram so much like before. The food is still the pretty much the same as before however. To be honest the dumplings aren't as nice as the one from Barilla, I find the pastry to be a bit thick and they always seem to get really watery inside. However the rest of the dishes are delicious especially the tofu and the sweet and sour crispy chicken.
The service is alright, typical dominion road sort of thing a Don't expect to have an explanation for the food or for them to bring out all your cutlery/crockery without@ asking. They're there to take care of as many customers as they can I guess, not to give you a 5 star service.
This place is incredible. Recently refurbished and always packed, I can easily say this is the best Dominion Road has to offer. The dumplings are delicious and at a cheaper price point than Barilla. This place is the dark horse of Auckland for a cheap shared meal and did I mention it is BYO? The must-try dishes include and not limited to: Sliced tofu and cucumber, coriander and chicken dumplings (fried of course), spring onion pancake and lets not forget the cumin and chilli squid! Nom nom nom. The service is always fast and the meals are served as they come even if it's totally pack there is not much of a wait. Highly reccomend to entertaining friends/ out of towers or when you can't be bothered to cook.
012 is one of the best dishes in Auckland
I like it as an entree and side to the dumplings
My favourite ones are pork and fennel steamed and beef and chives fried
I recommend to get tea

More or less wound up here on Accident since everywhere else was full on a public holiday. Best mistake I ever made. Food was incredible and portions were excellent. We even had a 10% Holiday Surcharge and still spent less than $20 per person (we weren't able to finish our food and had to take a dish home). If I had to recommend just one dish, I'd go with any of the dumplings. They're quite literally the best dumplings I've had outside of China. The noodles were also excellent
Steamed dumplings feel like xiaolongbaos because they’re so juicy and soupy! Fried eggplant dish was divine, also their traditional deep fried pork also good!
I'd been craving some good dumplings for weeks & whilst driving down Dominion Road late one Monday night I came across New Flavour Restaurant & gave the Fried Dumplings a try. I ordered the pork mince, chive & prawn fried dumplings & they were incredible! I don't know how they managed to get so much juice into them but they'd have to be up there with some of the best dumplings I've ever tasted. If you're expecting run of the mill table service here you'll be disappointed, there's a relaxed atmosphere giving the place a homely feel & it was my first visit to New Flavour & I'll definitely be back again.

The food was good, the quality and quantity was great. wasn't the best chinese restaurant in Auckland I've been before though. I ordered sizzling beef, my favorite Chinese dish, it came not too hot. It is usually sizzling when it arrives and sometimes they cover it to avoid sizzling going through your face but it was like a normal hot dish in hot plate. The restaurant was nearly full my husband and I sat on a 4 chair table, in middle of our order they told us whenever a 2 seat table was free we have to move to the other table as the restaurant gets busy later.
Excellent food and amazing customer service from start to finish. We were lucky enough to be here for the discounted night. I let them know it was my daughter’s birthday, the amazing staff played happy birthday and had a big happy birthday LED sign. Overall excellent experience.
Food is good for the price. Dumplings are the best. When it comes to dumplings, they are the best and cheapest in the town. Though you should try their other dishes too. I find some dishes on the costly end, which evens out the cheap dumplings, but if you're drinking late night and wanna grab some bite. This is a place.
P.S . My favorite dish is "Beef with brown sauce on rice."
Opens until late which is a big plus. The food is above average. Pricing is unfortunately on the higher end too. This place is conveniently located on Dominion Road where there are plenty of food choices available. Parking are available on the main street and off the main street as well. This place is usually not too packed which is good.
We had the pork belly on rice and fried pork with sweet and sour sauce for dinner, really yum! 18 bucks each, not bad. It was kind of an early dinner on a Friday night, food came in fast. When we left the place was almost full.
Thought we would temp our luck on dominion road and were pleasantly surprised. Lovely staff, and tidy restaurant. Quite possibly the cleanest on Dominion. We had a selection, with each as good as the next. Favourite would be the lamb dish. Vegetables were really tasty too.
Delicious Chinese dishes.Option to BYOW ($7 corckage fee).
Love the pork belly Bao. But it's mini now than before. Dumplings are overcooked and splited. Seaweed and egg soup is quite salty. Overall, food tastes not bad.
Dumplings are hand made, taste is very different compare to frozen ones.guo bao rou i think must be a popular dish,sweet, sour, salty, deep fried pork has a crispy surface,combine with the source. Stir fried pancake is highly recommend to try.sour and spicy soup is ok, i would expect more stronger flavour, taste a bit sweet for me.
Great food and extremely friendly staff
