We ordered the traditional noodles which the host kindly explained how to eat these. I love being able to eat the noodles dry and had the option to have noodle soup.
You get one extra serve of noodle and toppings per person which is great. You definitely don’t leave hungry!
The noodles were chewy, tasty and full of flavour.
The service was fantastic and the host was extremely kind and cheerful. Highly recommend!
Their signature guilin rice noodle is the to go!! Tasty clear bone broth goes perfectly well with their toppings like the crispy pork, braised thin cut beef, roasted peanuts, bamboo shoots, preserved green beans brings the soup to another whole new level. Get your choice of spicy level and I recommend mild as u can taste the soup well with a subtle kick. Comes also with a half hard boiled egg. So dzamn good!!
Another thing to note is, u can always ask for extra soup or noodle without any extra charges!! Also on the table has their 'lu Sui!' for u to add on when u ask for extra soup,bring that braised beef sauce back into that broth. ❤️😍
I've visited this place with my friends from China and have tried multiple versions of the rice noodles availavle. The food is absolutely delicious (not for the faint of heart), full of flavor and chilli. According to my friends it resembles in flavor to the food you can have in Southern China which is amazing. I relish the spices and even thinking about them makes me want to go back again.
One recommendation/personal preference though, I enjoyed the dishes better when I asked for the soups separately, rather than in the noodles.
Came in for a family dinner tonight. Ordered the pork mince rice noodles, the traditional guilin roast pork rice noodles, sliced beef and tripe in chilli sauce and the shanghai bok choy. The rice noodles felt like they were handmade. They were the perfect noodle texture. Not too thin or thick. Blended into the spicy broth, the flavours overlapped, indulging my palate and burning my throat while melting my heart. The mince was finely diced to the perfect size, allowing us to taste its original flavour while also absorbing some spicy broth. The egg was soft and fluffy, mingling with the noodles down my throat. Sliced beef and tripe in chilli sauce was delicious. The meat was thinly sliced and was able to soak in the perfect amount of chilli sauce. This restaurant also gave out free rice noodle refills. Fried rice was also amazing. It was spicy and the egg yolks and whites were scrambled separately.
Great place for a bowl of yummy rice noodles. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The broth is very nice not too salty. Perfect for a chilly day.
Love this place for casual dining. Food is always quick and flavourful. Spice is on point too. Recommended for hang over meals too.
Have returned several times already and don’t plan to stop!
Revisit after a great experience early this year.
They redeco the restaurant. The photos on the wall give some idea about Guilin. The traditional lamps suit the restaurant. The traditional hats on the wall are also lovely. Bring the place to next level.
Noodles here taste good. Recommend to order the noodle with mild. The chilies are way too spicy for me.
I don't know people gave the lovely restaurant such a low score. After all, it's one of my favourite restaurants in Auckland. The Guilin style rice noodle is absolutely authentic, you can determine it's authentic from the marinade source on the table. The soup base is made from pork bones, I know it's the soup made from real thing - it's not made from chemical stuff. I've tried 70% of the menus, most of them are lovely especially Marinade Tofu, Guilin Rice Noodle, Spicy Pork Skin, etc. However, there's several dishes I don't want to order again like Margarya Soup Rice Noodle. The last tip is the chilli here is quiet spicy, ask for mild spicy if you're not that good with it.
That is not soy sauce, but it is beef broth. The noodles are yummy and so is the soup! I really enjoyed the beef noodles and the vegetarian ones.
Got takeaways and was delicious! Thanks! Might not eat there as it is an open kitchen and will smell like food afterwards but definitely was delicious. 酸豆角炒肉末饭！
I would recommend Guilin Rice Noodle at this place. It gives a combination of beef and roasted pork with half egg, which is great. Other options doesn't have a combination.
I would say the quality of the food is at average level. I think the sour is the most important thing for noodle soup. Their soup is at average level, but a little bit higher than others that I tried in AKL. That's why I gave 4 star.
Tasty Guilin rice noodles the first in Auckland. Precise thickness, smooth and white. The noodles are made in house. You won’t be disappointed. They also offer free top up too. I tried it once and I’m hooked. Price is fair. Nice place.
Came here for lunch.
Got the Braised Beef Rice Noodles and Pork Intestines Rice Noodles.
You get a big portion of rice noodles, meat and all rice noodle dishes come with fried yellow beans, spring onions and pickled radish.
Some dishes can be served without soup too!
Braised beef was tender and soft, absolutely melted in the mouth! Rice noodles are Store-bought ones though, you can tell from the chewiness and consistency and that hint of powdery taste left on the tongue that hand-made noodles won’t usually have. Nothing exciting about the flavours though, my mother can make better rice noodles.
Service was friendly though. Nice casual place for a quick stopover if you wanted some soup and noodles on Dominion Rd. These two dishes will set you back by $25.

Good place for Guilin rice noodles, the crispy pork and preserved meat toppings were really tasty. They offer free refill for soup and noodles, which was great.
The staff was not really professional and were casual clothes only. Also the soup base was salty. Recommend to try dry noodles rather than the noodles with soup.
Me and my partner went for lunch on this Sunday, they have very tasty rice noodles, one free top up of rice noodles is really awesome! Staffs were very friendly! Will come back for sure!
Mains and sides tastegood ,didnt feel theres added artificials in the soup!! (吃完不會口渴)。
Customer service is actually Great !
Tho the toilet can be an area for improvment .
(but its common with chineses places, not a big deal)
Definitely recommended !
First time trying Guilin rice noodles with friends and it was amazing! The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable, they even accommodated our friend's dog in their backyard which we're grateful of! Would recommend this place if you're super hungry.. they do free top ups! We didn't take up this offer because the one bowl was enough for each of us :) looking forward to coming back again!

Came here for a late lunch because my mate and I love guilin rice noodles. Haven't had any good authentic ones since our trip to China 8 years ago. Came here and was greeted immediately, staff is very friendly and welcoming. We got seated right away and there's a variety of selections available which is good! Price is affordable and food came out fairly quick and it tasted amazing! It definitely reminded me of the original ones from China! Girlfriend loved it and it was her first time trying . Would def recommend others to come. Only constructive feedback I would give is the location/lighting of the area, from the outside, the place itself looked rather dark and we thought it was closed until we walked upfront. Def if there were better lighting people would notice it better.
Went here for lunch because we love Guilin rice noodles too much. The service was good, we walked in and was seated immediately. Ordered the A0, the tradition Guilin rice noodles. The food came out really quickly! The soup was seasoned nicely and the noodles were delicious. We were asked whether we were full and if you’re not, you can still order a bowl of rice noodles for free! I totally recommend trying this restaurant! Will be back soon :)

Great food...the Rice noodles are smooth, silky and velvety....the smoked pork and cow beans stir fry was like nothing we've ever had before...The spicy and sour fish soup was nicely balanced....Great friendly service and generous food portions....we will most definitely be back for more and more
PS: The rice bowls are on the house
Nice food extremely friendly staff which is always a win. The rice noodles are on point and perfect balance of flavors to go with them. Definitely recommend giving it a try
Delicious food especially the rice noodle. The owner and the staff are friendly. Excellent service! The restaurant is clean and tidy. Would definitely come back again;)
Very authentic southern Chinese food. Owner is a very nice lady, she cooks all the fantastic dishes. Hope they got drinking license & I can have beer here oneday:)
We went to eat guilin noodle last week. Nice food and friendly staff and services. The restaurant is clean. The more spicy, the more delicious. 👍🏻👍🏻
Guiding Rice Noodles are so Delicious.
This is my favorite rice noodle place. There are many options on the menu here, but every time I come there are only a few items available to order. You have the option of dry and soup to choose, the level of spiciness is optional. One serving is a big bowl of noodles.
It's small with 14 seats, traditionally decorated in the style of a family.
The most generous portion of noodles! My friends and I have never had such springy and delicious rice noodles.
It’s authentic and good food, the servers are friendly and the other reviewers are too critical. Go for the food, it’s worth it!!
Mala beef noodles was very tasty, but a few amount of meat
Great place to sit down for some very authentic and healthy Chinese cuisine! Their star dish, Traditional Guilin Noodles, was an amazing example of Chinese cuisine. Light on the stomach and delicious most of all! Great example of a Chinese noodle restaurant :)
I eat here every week, it's a great noodle House with vegan dish options the owners happily prepare if requested. Very friendly atmosphere, Karina is the best!
Just like the rice noodles I had in Guilin China. Very tasty, quite spicy. I have a very low spice tolerance, but I deal with it to eat here as it’s so good. Big portions, and the vegetarian options are just as good!
not so bad, can give a try, couldn’t use credit card there.
Plenty of soup options for your rice noodles and even gives you the option to choose a different type of noodle if rice noodles is not what you want. Each bowl also comes with a complimentary top up of another small portion of noodle. The 2 rice noodles we had ( 1 spicy and 1 non spicy) both tasted really yummy. Price is pretty affordable too ($13 per bowl) which is cheaper than most other places especially with the additional portion which makes 1 bowl probably enough for 1 adult and 1 child.
The best rice noodles I've ever had, really authentic, and the staff are friendly and amazing!
Delicious rice noodles - the dry Guilin noodles with an extra portion of meat is my favourite. They offer a free noodle refill. Lovely service and family atmosphere. Highly recommend. 谢谢阿姨！
