Spicy and sour shredded potato was legit, full of flavours. But this time the shredded pork in Peking sauce was a bit too salty and the stir fried veggies and eggs tasted a bit plain. Overall was tasty!

Located among a throng of Asian restaurants on Dominon Rd is this tiny eatery. It must be very popular because we went and it was super busy. So busy that we had to share our table with other random diners. That was ok though, it all makes for the experience. Customer service was lovely. Interior is quite cramped but enough space for you to move about. We ordered pancakes with two fillings, bean sprouts and I can’t remember if the meat we ordered was pork or beef🤦‍♀️ I do remember both dishes being VERY TASTY. I loved the novelty of putting my meal together and especially loved the flavour they put into the bean sprouts. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

Ive never had northern chinese food before and I was stoked with the pancakes!! We ordered the shredded pork in peking sauce and it was soooo good!! The crunchy sping onion on the side was the perfect balance. We also ordered pork and cabbage dumplings which were some of the best ive ever had.
The place is nothing special with a mix match of furniture and random menu items stuck to the wall.
The staff had limited english and Im not sure if it was communication issues or not but seemed quite rude.

I ate this dish 3 days within a week. It’s simply amazing!

Better than Peking Duck! The 魚香肉絲 matched with the wrap is just sooooooo amazing... every other dish is ok... but I’m basing this review on just this one dish.

This is a small dine in on Dominion Rd, can easily walk past. I absolutely recommend the shredded pork with Peking sauce as a filling for the pancake with egg & sprouts 👏🏽💯💯. So delicious and fragrant, you wrap the pancake up and enjoy that morsel of goodness😍. The other dish I recommend is the beef noodles, the broth is full of flavour and you get a decent amount of beef chunks. The noodles are good thickness and just taste fresh. Everything you want and need a noodle to be. Will be returning for this on a cold night. There a few tables, be prepared to share with others. Friendly staff, when they give recommendations, take their word.

Delicious!! We went right at opening and glad we did, there were lines outside by the time we finished. The pork with Peking sauce was next level delicious, dumplings were fantastic and crispy, spring onion pancake had lots of spring onion and the chilli beef was yum! Looking forward to going back soon 😁

This has become our go-to place since coming here a few months ago. We’ve been here three times since. Everything we’ve gotten has been delicious and affordable. The cumin potato and chicken is astounding. In our opinion 10 spring pancakes and one dish to fill the pancakes with is enough for two people. Another option to share between two people is getting a soup and the spring onion pancake or pulled pancake.

You’ll be lucky to get a seat during dinner time! Got the sweet and sour pork which was so awesome - the vinegar tastes great. pancakes and the shredded pork with Peking sauce was also 👌👌. This place gets extremely busy and it may take you time to get anyone’s attention. Saw a couple of people complaining because their takeaway order was taking too long. But that’s just how the service is in this place so be warned. That being said, 4 rating was purely on the food in this instance.

Perfect place for a comfort meal if you are craving for northern Chinese food. Their “cong you bing” also known as scallion pancake is awesome. I also really like their dishes with vegetables, such as eggplants, potatoes, capsicums etc, lots of variety. Really enjoy the part that you can roll your own thin savoury pancake with a mixture of meats and vegetables to your liking.

This is one of the best lil spots on dominion road for spring pan cake. Glass noodles and pork, cold potato, spicy pork, sweet and sour pork fillet, crispy sweet and sour, stir fried eggs bean sprouts or the lamb and cumin are all delicious. I have not come across one disappointing dish. The dumplings are pretty awesome too when they haven’t sold out. Some dishes are pricey but don’t lack in flavour or size. Most of the menu is on the cheap eats side.
The outlet is small so be sure to be early to avoid waiting at lunch and dinner time.
Some staff are a lil limited in english but are always happy and friendly.

Good value and mouth-watering food. We waited for 10 mins outside before we got a table for 4 last Thursday night. We ordered 20 x spring pancakes, stir-fried shredded potato with capsicum, shredded pork with peking sauce, Sichuan style pork belly (MUST-TRY), pork and cabbage dumpling and also wang wang vegetarian soup (YOU'LL LOVE IT). Shared between 4 of us and it was just $18 each, excluding drinks of course. We were absolutely stuffed by the time we left the restaurant hehe :)

Spring pancake is one of the traditional food comes from north of China. As a Chinese from the same region, I have to confirm this restaurant does a marvelous job. If you are not a Chinese, you must trust my taste and follow my step, giving it a try. In the restaurant, you can experience 100 percent of resemble flavor from their original place. So go ahead and try these delicious food.

Fast service, great food!
Tried it for the first time the other day and it has already become one of my favourite restaurants, very underrated. The soup was delicious, plenty of flavour 👌, but the wraps were just heavenly.

Could definitely see myself frequenting this place. Price is very good for the quality of food you receive.

It was delicious eating here. We did not mind the space as it was fast and efficient. We had pork with fungus stir fry which was had the full wok flavour. Pan fried dumplings with pork and cabbage was lovely with vinegar. We also had the chive pastry cakes which we thought needed flavour. We recommend the pork. Aubergine soup (72). My friend complained it had too much pork pieces, which is unheard off! Would like to come back to try other dishes.

The food here is incredibly cheap and delicious. You wrap all the meat and veges in a thin pancake- like a burrito and then it. You can order whatever dishes you like to put in the pancake. Tasty and good value for money. However the restaurant itself is a little crowded as it's tiny so I would recommend booking.

I like spring pancakes. The restaurant makes authentic pancakes which are QQ der and chewy. Spicy and sour potatoes and pancakes are a match made in heaven. Just be sure to reserve a seat if you want to come. It is very hot. And be patient, they're very slow to serve.

The food here is really good, would fully recommend this place if you are looking for a affordable and decent meal. It isn't the flashiest place, and could improve on cleanliness. However the food is delicious. Make sure to book because they are normally very busy and there are limited table spaces.

Quiet little place located at the edge of the Asian food strip on Dominion Rd. Since it's away from the hustle and bustle, plenty of parking can be found on the side streets. We ordered the beef noodles in soup, pork and chives dumplings and egg and chives pan cake. Good sized portions and the dishes tasted great. Cost $30 all up, quite reasonable. Service was good, dishes came out without any delay. Trademark meal seems to be the pancakes, which you can order with various filling. Pretty much everyone in the restaurant was having that. We are going to try that next time 😋

Came here with colleges for a mini pre-birthday celebration. This restaurant is really full and very popular, definitely recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

Between the five of us we ordered 15 spring pancakes (so 3 each), we also chose a dish each. That was more than enough. All the dishes were delicious and flavourful, and went wonderfully with the soft pancakes. We could not be happier. The shredded pork with Peking duck sauce was especially enjoyed by all.

My husband and colleagues also really enjoyed the spring onion pancakes, although I found them a little bit greasy. They were definitely generous with the amount of spring onions they put in though.

My only other critique of the restaurant is the location of their bathroom - to access it you have to go through the kitchen. Not very hygienic and a bit inconvenient. Hopefully this is something they will work on in the future.

All in all friendly service, and yummy food. Would recommend coming with a bigger group so you could older a variety of dishes to share.

This is definitely something different, if you like Peking duck, this is definitely for you! Cheap eats where you order various dishes and some spring pancakes, wrap and eat!

Highly recommend the pork with Peking sauce, spicy pork with fungus and mushroom, and the sweet and sour pork (super yummy and crispy!).
I have also tried the sprout with potato noodle (which is a type of noodle not potato looking at all). The sprouts were overcooked for my liking though!

The place is small and cosy, and even though the staff looks serious and doesn't talk much, they are actually super helpful and friendly. It gets busy here too, so hope you are lucky to get a seat :)

So do try it!

Low price but delicious spring pancakes! The spring pancakes are different from those in Beijing, so at the very bbeginning, I'm afraid that they will be awful. However, I suddenly fall in love with them after only one bite! The combination looks weird to me but tastes bloody perfect.

We just thought we would try the two sweet pancakes follow a meal out. We tried the red bean and sweet pastry pancakes. Quite nice and alot for only $8. They are quite large in size. The place was full and looked to have nice food.

One day we will go back to try dinner.

This place is really popular with the Asian crowd. The last time I was here, there was a line outside the door with people waiting to get in.

Don't judge it by the ambience, as it's your typical Chinese restaurant; crowded and small.
The food though: tasty, generous portions and everything I'd tried there had been fresh and cooked pretty fantastically. Not fine dining by any means, but it's comfort food done in the best way.

Do try the spring onion pan bread and the hot and sour soup, not too intense so would suit most palates.

Check it out, I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised. :)

I really wasn't expecting much from this tiny restaurant. But surely enough I was insanely surprised with how delicious everything was, speedy to get to the table, surprisingly filling, I simply cannot wait to come back. It's difficult to translate what we had into English but we ordered the most recommended popular items, and boy was it an absolute hit with us!

What a little surprise! This restaurant is small but looks clean and bright. I had a bit of trouble finding its English name as it is in Chinese. Should have guessed it's exactly what it is in English.

The service is faster than what you'd expect from an establishment that has the chef doing everything from taking orders to cooking your dish.

Of course we ordered the pancake which was thin and a little stretchy (not teary) so that when you go to wrap the dishes, it doesn't rip and have everything fall apart.

We ordered three dishes - the pork and capsicum, the spicy pork belly with cabbage and the pork version of Peking duck. I can't actually remember the actual names of the dish at this moment.

I enjoyed the pork with capsicum up until the spicy pork belly with cabbage arrived. The flavours of that dish over shined everything else. However if you ate the dish by itself, it would be have definitely been too salty. So for sure have it with rice or how the restaurant intended it - wrap it in their spring pancake! The pork variation of Peking duck was rather dry but the presentation was nice and appealing. So the texture of that dish was a let down.

I would love to return and try other dishes they have to offer.

Its easy to miss Wang Wang Spring Pancake as the only place their name is in english is on their health rating posted on the front window, which is an A.

Now is the time to go here as its Spring, and Spring is the time to eat pancakes (according to Chinese custom)

The pancakes are all freshly made and are delicate and light. Made from a rolled dough its quite a skill to get them so thin.

You can order from a selection of fillings, all are delicious. Try the braised pork in soy, not a sweet version but salty or the vegetarian options like potato and eggplant cut in slivers and served 'al dente'.

The servings are large and the restaurant is scrupulously clean. Go early as it gets very busy.

I visited as part of another (walking) Auckland Food Tour event - this time a collection of chinese specialities on Dominion Road. I LOVE these journeys - each place we visit - the menu is largely ignored and we eat ONLY the dish or two that they are renowned for - or from their region of China. So while only a dish or two will be discussed in the reviews ..... this is the ultimate shortcut to 'best eats on a menu' .....

Spring Pancakes are paper thin - and a little stretchy -  and makes it very flexible and easy to fill and roll up.

We had a choice of fillings - the braised pork with soy sauce - which was the more familiar choice for me, so that is where I started. I shouldn't have. 

 The second dish was piled high with matchsticks of potato, eggplant and capsicum - I really didn't expect it to be as tasty as it was. I had to ask.... as there was an 'al dente' bite left in the potato but was completely cooked! 

The vegetables are stir-fried fast at a very high heat (so the potato keeps its crunch) and LOTS of minced fresh garlic, a little salt and a dash of soy sauce. This was a bit of a 'dark horse' dish for me - and definitely, what I will be ordering when I go back.

First time here after seeing a video online and didn't disappoint. I've been on Dom road many a times to try the different places and would have never come here had it not been for that video. Hole in the wall place and older interior. Server doesn't speak much English but just pointing at the menu is fine. Had hot tea and 2 dishes, shredded pork and pork mince and bean sprout along with 20 pancakes (cause 10 wasn't enough for us 2). Both were delicious and pancakes was super thin. Would love Chilli oil but I didn't ask so maybe they have this. I'll be back next time we go to Dom road.

Really enjoyed the food - delicious and a new way of eating Chinese food with pancakes. Busy little shop, don't think it has a toilet, the two staff team do a commendable job getting food out quickly. It's not a flash place but I really liked it, food was great and I'd come back.

Small but lovely restaurant..they were very busy when we visited which is why it took a while for the food to be served, but it was worth waiting for! The staff's English is not great, but with the help of other customers, we got it sorted! We had pancakes, egg and chives, cabbage and glass noodles, gua ba rou (a sweet pork dish) and sour chilli potatoes. The food is North Eastern Chinese and one of my favourite regional foods! Highly recommended.

A small shop that serves up a large menu. The pancake wraps are a bit glutinous so they won't break when you wrap them. They come in a set of 5 or 10. You can order a range of different dishes to use to wrap but you can also substitute the wraps for rice. The Shredded Pork in Peking Sauce seems to be a popular choice there as well as the Sweet and Sour Pork which appears on almost every table. We also got the Stir Fry Pork Belly with Potatoes, the Eggs and Chives Pancake that, and the Shanghainese Smoked Fish. All dishes were tasty though a little oily. The shop is small inside and gets very crowded at night thus becomes quite stuffy with little airflow. Customer and food service is fast and satisfactory but wait time could be a bit longer, especially during warmer months. Overall shop is clean and tidy.
