The decor is a bit dated but the value of the food makes up for it entirely. If you have never had HK style french toast, then this is the place to try it! It definitely gives off a home cooked meal vibe that everyone can appreciate.
You can’t find any restaurants with such cheap prices and such big portions now. We always love their hot pot. Really good Cantonese restaurant.
After hearing about their cheap lunch specials, specifically their laksa, I’ve been keen to give this place a go. Their Chicken Laksa is $6.80!! Definitely the cheapest laksa I’ve had in Auckland. Serving size was decent and toppings were quite generous. (perhaps not comparable to other places but still really good for the given price point!) I’ll be back again if I’m ever craving laksa. We also ordered their hainan chicken rice. Pretty decent and yum too.
I say come in if you’re after a cheap lunch but other than that, it’s pretty ordinary; place is alike other HK styled cafes.
Authentic Cantonese restaurant located on Khyber Pass New Market. The interior is worn but moderately clean.
I ordered the Fish and Lettuce Congee, the Beef Mince Congee and the Beef Tongue. The Congees are in a massive portion. The Fish Congee was fresh with good amount of fish fillets. I didn’t like having mince in my congee so won’t comment on the Beef Congee.
This restaurant serves the best beef tongue! The beef is well marinated and the thicker slice cuttings makes the tongues quite chewy.
The dishes are served quickly in great big portions. Priced quite cheaply.
Nice and friendly staff. Once I left my bag at the restaurant and they ran and chased to tell me that.
If you are wanting a cheap and quick lunch or dinner. This is the place to go for.

Great great great value for lunch and authentic Hongkong cafe taste. Most of lunch special dishes below $10 but also with good quality and generous portion! Add only $2 to get a decent milk tea! Must try milk tea. 100% authentic HongKong style milk tea. What do you want more from a fast dining eatery??
The pipi in the fiery soup with vermicelli brings a tiresome atmosphere to you and you feel like your going to die in a good way. This place isn’t fancy but the exceptional quality of the food which is reasonably priced just wouldn’t make you care, and I mean it. Be careful though as the food can be sweltering and scorchingly hot!
WOW ! SO CHEAP SO GOOOD! Highly recommended! The wonton sou! And the meal on rice too! I cant believe we live in 2019 and still can get full tummy with only 8$ perperson. Wow
Tried the lunch meal, it’s value of money. A good meal under 10 dollar. Flavour is fine for a quick lunch, and they serve you the dish really fast.
I enjoyed their bake rice variety the most, their lunch and drinks menu on the black board is value for money. The only improvement I’d suggest they make is staff attitude, a little smile goes a long ways
I like this restaurant. I have been here many times. The 29 dollar hot pot is non spicy but very warm and delicious. The waitresses’ service are excellent. Definitely will come back again.
In case any of yous may or may not notice Newmarket hub is a little quieter at the moment as the main shopping complex is now closed for a refit for the next x months so visitors will have to do with strip eateries such as sunrise cafe located at downtown newmarket and is next to other popular eateries like sun world, selera, ichiban etc.
If you gonna eat here bring a Chinese mate along to translate n order (and shout you) as this place is more authentic than the fusion/western version seen at your local take out. Even Diners and Staff are like they are eating/working in a village cafe back their homeland.Had a good deal here too, they just charge me $6.50 for a hearty noodle soup, Haha again i'm a good diner again yeeah.
I have been here many times. I like their hotpot, ox brisket & rice roll and Hongkong style tea with milk. The ox brisket & rice roll is only $5.8 before 7 pm that is cheap and yummy. The hot pot provides good nutrition as well as good flavor. You can choose ten sidedishes putting in the hotpot which are only $29.
I ordered other dishes before, I don't like them.
We found a pretty awesome #Asian restaurant in #Newmarket... It's on the side of the road but very easy to miss. Nothing extravagant about the decor but we can vouch for a fulfilling meal in large portions that's easy on the pocket...
Must try: Seafood Laksa $9 (pictured)
Skip: Yuba salad $4.80
Came here for lunch again today. Generous portions and very flavoursome. The dumplings were nicely made with a delicious filling of pork, cabbage and sweet corn.
Really really cheap and affordable.
They have lunch time specials between $6-$10
Food is decent and exceptionally affordable. They have a wide range of dishes to choose from.
Service is quick. You should order at the counter and then take a seat if there is only a few of you, especially when there is a lot of people. Otherwise you will be waiting for a long time to be served.
Decided to have lunch here as the previous visit gave me a good impression.
I ordered the clay pot black bean and fish with rice which is only $8.80 on the special lunch menu that also comes with a complimentary drink (Coke, without ice). Service is ok with 2 - 3 staff on the ground attend to customer needs. The place here is pay first and serve later.
I remember during the last visit, the dish was much better. However, this was not the case this time. The appearance of the dish was quite good. However, it lacks some taste, the black bean taste. This time, the black bean was lesser in amount. Hence unable to highlight the taste. Overall the dish is ok despite is a bit oily.
Budget and fast are the main attraction of this place. Food is mediocre but able to fill you without breaking a hole in your wallet. This place is among the most budget compared to nearby eateries.
Would be back for budget beef noodle.
I've been here a couple of times now. Its an authentic little Hong Kong style cafe that does amazing value lunch deals starting at 3.80 with a glass of coke. I grabbed the crispy chicken, which was a full quarter chicken double cooked. I assume first it was boiled or roasted, then the skin crisped up and fried with garlic until super crispy and brushed with salt for an amazing savoury salty flavour. Served with rice and a garlic, ginger and spring onion oil, which is also salty and flavoursome just to go with the rice. All this comes with a coke for 8.80. I cant vouch for all their dishes, but its a great value place for a quick lunch. The staff were quick and friendly.
Came here several times for great cheap eat. Food came out quite fast. Quite cheap compared to other restaurants. Although the decor is not 5 star but food is freshly cooked and hot. Would come back again.
Been here a couple times. Do recommend for very cheap lunch meals in New market. Food is decent, very good service and always find seating but the quality of food isn't very great. They have a very good lunch menu which is rock bottom prices for the neighborhood. You get a full lunch for less than $8 uptill 7 pm.
Hello Jafa's and pretend Jafa visitors ! I am from Canada. My wife and I had 2 meals in this place last week, while visiting Auckland. We had Hong Kong style soup dishes. It is authentic. Wow, good broth, good meats, the value and service, Choice !
I love this place, you can't say food is the best, but the price is unbeatable. Under $6 you can have a noodle soup with a drink which is good.
Have been coming here after soccer for dinner with team mates since early 2000 ... The restaurant has been around for a long time - changed owners over the years I think but the food is still good very consistent ...
Very Authentic Hong Kong style food - good prices and always provide a complimentary soup.
Good location, one of the best beef brisket noodle soups in Auckland
Have had many memories and lemon teas here.
Sunrise is a great cheap eat, so don't expect anything fancy. They have some pretty good lunch specials that run till 7pm. Highly recommend the roast chicken on rice super or beef brisket.
Had dinner there last night and ordered:
Prawn with tofu on glass noodle: 4/5 delicious garlic sauce, tofu a little hard around the corners
Steamed blue cod: 3.5/5 great looking fish. Flesh was slightly firm
Free-range chicken: 3.5/5 tasty sauce but not a lot of meat
Decor/ambience: 2.5/5 very basic
Service: 4/5 friendly staff
Value: 4.5/5 great (total bill was $59 so $15pp including seafood)
Taste: 4/5 taste was good
Overall: 4/5 this place wins on taste and value. There is certainly room for improvement but for the price and location, it's hard to beat. Don't forget the really well priced lunch specials as cheap as ~$5!!
Time and date: whenever i need a cheap feed
Food ordered: tried most of the foods on the menu, the lunch special seems like a good choice for a feed
Taste: simple homecook flavor
Food comments: good portion, servecomplementaty salted peanuts, the hongkong style drinks there are quite nice
Service: average friendly
Environment: Clean and tidy , but definately not the fanciest place
Cost : $15 pp on average
Will I return : definitely
You can expect authentic hongkongness food here. I come here often in winter for their hot pot. The price of the dishes are all very reasonable.
Love this place! Amazing congee, and they do a hot lemon and coke for when you got the sickness. Also love that they have club sandwiches and cold milo on the menu. Definitely get the congee when you come here, any flavour is good!
Love this place!
I'm a regular. I eat here with my family, friends and sometimes by myself. It has so many choices whether you want a full meal, lunch combo, light supper or just coffee.
On top of that, they have the very best value around. A lunch combo would be around just $6.80 including a rice dish and lemon drink.
They also open till 11pm daily.
Very very good asian restaurant.
Must have - chicken and mushroom congee, laksa, mongolian chicken and chicken in fragrant chilli.
Meal for 2 - approx. 35 dollars...total vfm
Had a craving for a Century Egg Congee, chanced across this cafe from the google reviews. Overall the food was decent and well priced. Though the porridge was more 3.5 stars I gave 4 in consideration of the price point and service was quick. Would return for a quick bite if the opportunity arises
The duck noodles looks great but did not get a chance to try.
Probably the most affordable restaurant in central Auckland??? Can't find places which offer main size meals for under $15 these days!
Finally got to try this gem after having it saved in a list for a very long time, food was pretty good and it was popular during dinner service.
Forgot to take a photo before eating the braised beef noodle soup.
I come here as often as I can from Manurewa as their dishes are fabulous, fresh, and inexpensive AAA+++
One of my favorite places to eat in Auckland!
Despite it's an old fashioned one with it's long history in the business there are so many goodies listing on the menu.
Especially Cantonese hotpot, inexpensive but super delicious!
Lunch special $8.8 you get a black pepper beef rice. It's cheap but don't worry it doesn't mean the quality goes down, tasty as it should be.
See?!
I even forgot to take pictures of the foods we ordered today.
Anyway, just go and try you will definitely like it.
No complaints considering many dishes are still under $10 in 2022. I just don’t understand why the sweet and sour pork is so red lol.
Slightly over priced but food was decent
My go to place for a hearty meal, great selection of dishes, homemade comfort food taste, and super good value for money.
No complaints since its 10.5$ a meal??? Yes the food isnt great and the place isnt the cleanest, but if a business is offering half the price of the market rate, i really dont think we get to complain. That is if you only come for the lunch deals.
Not bad. Nice soup dishes. Wonton has a nice yummy prawn in it. Classic.
Their shop will definitely fool you, although their shop look a bit shabby, their food are yummy with generous portion and fairly priced. Their staff members also very friendly and helpful, though some of them understand chinese much better than english. Have hundreds of items in their menu though only small amount of photos of the dish are available; however, whatever you choose, more often than not you'll be satisfied.
I love the atmosphere and their food. They have great price for their food before 7pm, yummy and good value.
Was looking for a affordable lunch in the 1hr break between lectures and saw Sunrise Cafe. Was recommended the chicken noodle soup that could be prepared quickly. Paid $5.80 and got the largest bowl of noodle soup I had seen! Highly recommend for affordable and delicious eats
