Have dinner here for twice and both visit were delightful. My friend is from Beijing and he thinks highly of the Peking duck here. Authentic recipe and excellent dip.
My new fave Chinese restaurant! The staff were really attentive and the food flavoursome and delicious. Especially the Peking duck, the roti and the stuffed eggplant! Must haves! Also the restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. Big plus was the free wifi!!
My partner and I have been here a lot. Hau has the best Kung pao chicken I have ever had. I have tried Kung pao chicken in multiple restaurants in NZ and China FYI. It is also consistently good at Hua, I would highly recommend it. Some dishes do seem a bit expensive and service has been disappointing sometimes so deduct 1 star for this.
The service was actually fast when we had dinner here. Tried their Peking duck which went well with the pancake. Typical setting of a Chinese restaurant, the staff and the manager was attentive.
This is a standard, typical Chinese restaurant. However some of the dishes are actually well presented like the duck- which is different than most Chinese restaurants where they just chuck the food on the plate. The food is tasty but sometimes too salty (maybe MSG). The food comes out fast and the portions are decent. The lobster is fresh.
We've been a few times to Hua's. Overall, our experience wasn't bad. The service was good. The Peking duck was also tasty, we did order in advance though so we got it pretty quickly. The plating was nice and quite creative for some dishes.
food came out super fast, and we both enjoyed what we ordered (fried pork, green beans and lamb). there is a huge menu, so many choices. unfortunately my first choice wasn't available and they forgot to give us rice. generous portions meant we didn't really need the rice though and still had a lot to take away

I've always wondered whether the owners and families of different Chinese restaurants mark one another down on Zomato to try and affect the competition, because Hua's Restaurant definitely doesn't deserve a rating as low as 2.7. Everyone who eats there clearly doesn't think that low of them either, because when we went, they were absolutely packed out. Peking roast duck is their signature dish, and if you ring and book in advance and go on a Wednesday night, you can have a whole duck for only $38. This is incredible value, because it's $38 for half a duck on any other night, and the special is $58 if you go on a Friday. Because you have already ordered the main, this comes out pretty quickly once you arrive and are seated. We also ordered some vegetables; all up it was so much food and we had to take home. The duck was excellent though, and we had my partner's brother come over the next night to share the rest! Only small critique would be the servers - they're always so keen to clear the dishes, that they'll try to take your half finished food from underneath your face. You have to almost slap them away and tell them you're not finished. Excessive efficiency!
I think huas restaurant is great value for money and location. The food was tasty and came in generous amounts as well as being fairly priced. Especially their weekly Beijing duck deals.
The menu is really big so if you love variety like me it's a huge plus.
Chinese food with a creative twist. It's good if you wanna try something new! A bit pricey as dishes are about $25-45 but worth trying!!!!!
With the reviews prior to our dining experience, I have some reservations in dining at Hua's. But I was so impressed with the pleasant staff and the manager, they served the Peking duck and the rest in a flash!!! Being a Nurse, I am very particular with hygiene and I have noted that the staff setting the duck in our plate is wearing gloves, wearing a mask..that's amazing...Yes English is not their first language but they can communicate. What's the biggy? My family and I had enjoyed the food, service and the place. We dine regularly and try different cuisine and this is definitely one of our faves...
I was a bit worried given some of the reviews, but our group of 8 who were using a deal voucher for the peking duck (plus we ordered 5 other dishes) were very happy with the experience. The food was fantastic, and the service is in line with what I have experienced in Asian restaurants all over the world.
Don't go expecting over the top wonderful staff. They get the job done politely, but english is not the first language so can be a bit more effort to request something not on the menu (off the menu is no prob!).
Definitely keen to go back - pretty good value and decent servings. So, so tasty!!

Dined here tonight. Bought a voucher for half price Peking duck. I booked a table of 3 for 6pm for a Saturday and told them I had a voucher, as the voucher conditions did mention that bookings for duck had to be made 24 hours in advance. I had originally tried booking for lunch on a weekday, but was told that someone had already preordered all the duck for that day. We turned up early at around 5.20pm. We were greeted and seated promptly. Duck was being served up by the chef at another table when we arrived. We also ordered eggplant, beans with minced pork in a sizzling claypot, pork and green onion dumplings and pineapple chicken and white rice. The eggplant claypot dish and the pineapple chicken arrived with our rice about 5-10 minutes after ordering. Our eggplant claypot dish arrived bubbling. It was tasty and garlicky, just the way like it. It was a tad too oily, but otherwise enjoyable. The chicken was delicious, nice crispy batter and tasty tangy sauce. The rice was soft and fluffy. We were told that the duck was going to be another ten minutes, but that was understandable as another table had just been served and we had arrived early anyway. Soon the dumplings arrived, and we realised we ordered too much.
Excited about the Peking duck, we slowed down and it arrived. The chef carefully carving up the duck was an interesting watch. This was the first time I was having Peking duck, so didn't really know what to expect with the taste. I have had duck before but not the pancake style. The garlic sauce was nice, I found the thicker sauce for the pancake a bit overpowering, but my dinnermates thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was overall a pleasant experience and the food was nice. Staff were helpful too at explaining the different sauces and types of pancakes for the Peking duck.

I bought a deal voucher yesterday and thought I'd chance it as it was so cheap ($40 for $80 worth of food/drinks) and I was going to the movies in Newmarket anyway. It's a good location at the bottom of Kyber Pass near Broadway.
The restaurant was full of Chinese diners at 6.30pm which I took as a good sign and I was right, the food was really good. The waitress we had was really friendly and helpful and the food came out in good time without having to wait too long. The menu had glossy pictures for every meal which I would normally consider to be tacky but was professionally done and made choosing what we wanted much easier.
I had the eye fillet and asparagus stir fry which for $22 was a real bargain and amazing! Definitely not your standard Chinese takeaway! My friend had another beef shank stir fry dish which he didn't enjoy as much but was still ok. We also got a plain fried rice dish which was also really good and such a large amount that we couldn't finish it all. They have really nice Asian beer too which comes in a huge 600ml bottle which was good value for only $8.
The decor of the restaurant is also very nice and of a high standard. Overall we had an excellent dinner and I'm planning on buying another voucher now because it was definitely worth it!
great，fantastic，amazing food. Nice taste and flavour that even i want to cry because it same as home. Every time before we back to hamilton to eat and waiting the rush hour finished. All staff friendly and efficient.
Worth to go
Duck is good, remember to order first
wednesday night half price for the roasted duck
Good food - and half price Peking duck on Wednesdays!

First, this place has the best Peking Duck in town--the chefs are both from Beijing (Peking!), so that helps. The other dishes are generally well done, also--the fungus is some of the best I've had in Auckland, etc. The service is fairly attentive as well; only once was I made to wait past the booked time for a table, but that was on Chinese New Year, so I can't complain too much. I do have some issues, however: one is the cleanliness in the bathroom. Ghads! Why can't they keep it clean? There's splattering on the wall, wet floors every time, and a urinal that looks like it hasn't been cleaned. The carpets in the place look dirty as--I think they're the same ones that were there in the last restaurant, before Sunnytown opened up. And last, I have a few times smelt cigarette smoke wafting from the back--either from the kitchen (chefs smoking out the back and vacuum effect, or from a private room where people are being cheeky). Who knows. But I don't hold these things against the place, really, because overall it's still a classy joint with reliably good food.
It is a Chinese( Zyechuen) restaurant. Famous for Peking duck dishes which are vry good. They also serve quiet a lot of spicy dishes. Some of them can be very spicy and can lump your lips & tongues after eating them. Choose very carefully
Great food. Great place to laugh and talk. I’ll be coming back.
Nice food we enjoyed our dinner
