It's an amazing hidden gem in cbd. Have tried their roasted chicken, soy sauce chicken, stir-fried rice noodles, roast pork and pork soup and must say they serve the best roast pork and soy sauce chicken in t cbd. And the best part is they're so affordable. Even the ambience is great.
This is a place I would recommend for satisfying BBQ for $14-$16 ! Their BBQ was great but not top from an asian perspective. Their service was awesome and the portion of the food was great! It will definitely filled you up with 3 type meat combo!
Anyone into cheap eats in auckland should know about this wonderful chain. Their food is top notch and their prices are ridiculously reasonable given their portion size. One combination on rice can feed me for 3 meals no lie.
Was recommended this place by a few coworkers who frequent here. Turned out to be a great lunch spot. Had the beef brisket on fried rice. For the price, it is a huge portion and tasted great. They've got a large menu so will be powering my way through it over the next couple of weeks.
Stopped by for a late night meal after a movie. The menu was fairly large with plenty of options. We shared a Peking Duck, crispy chicken and beans with pork mince between three people. The servings were quite good and the price was quite cheap. You can get a discount voucher for your next meal if your meal costs over $50.
Nice place for cheap tasty food.
This place is fantastic for the price. My family and I are regulars; The Peking duck is the best. Not all BBQ duck places in Auckland are this good. These guys are doing something right.
There are many Chinese restaurants in Auckland, so many you feel like you live in Hong Kong or China. I think most of those Chinese restaurants we had tried but only reviewed some and only those worthy ones. Another one of those worthy Chinese eateries is the BBQ Duck Cafe located right smack in the centre of Auckland CBD. I had passed by this place many times as we always grab that nice chicken from Kai’s Eatery but never had a chance to eat at this place until now. I am not sure if this is the same place that was torn down in Queen St due to building demolition and if that’s the case this was not my first time here.
Mear overloas @bbqduckcafe in queens street 🍖🍖🍖. We got the braised pork belly ($23.50) three meats on rice ($15) and an extra bowl of rice ($2.50). .

First time trying the braised pork belly here and so glad I did with the meat being so tender and juicy 🤤🤤. It was a bit sweet for me tho but otherwise 👌👌👌. The three meats were; bbq pork, crispy pork, and soy chicken. Seriously think this is one of the best relatively affordable places to get good crispy pork 😍 the meats are tender with the "crispy" of the crispy pork being 🔥🔥🔥. Definitely recommended for students!! P.s. if you ask for "the soup", you get free soup 🙊🙊
Customer service is alright. The waiters don’t come to you, you have to waive/chase them down, the food and the portion sizes and their fruit juices are great though thus the 4/5 stars. Would i go back there? I would but not become a regular.
Ordered half soy chicken and a three combination with rice. The combination was roast duck, roast pork, and charsiew pork. Every thing was actually really good. Probably one of the best I've had. Great prices too. 100% would recommend and come back.
Had a hankering for Chinese food last weekend after a few Saturday drinks the previous night. Had the black bean beef and hot and soup soup. Black bean with rice was pretty much on the money, lots of beef and vege, plenty of brown sauce, the hot and soup not as much - no tofu whatsoever and taste was a bit too sour for my liking .Overall good, will order again...
highly recommend this place if you are after some fast, quick and delicious Chinese food.
quick service, place is clean and they have lunch time deals which are definitely worth your buck
Easy access location. I usually temporary park across the road for some takeaways after the spa sauna. go home eat Netflix and chill.
Ideal for a good asian meal.

One of our go-to cheap chinese bbq. We usually go for their $14.90 combo which consists of any two choices of bbq, rice, soup, sweet & sour pork and a vege dish. They can get quite busy and places to sit is quite tight. Service is ok, sometimes hard to summon someone as the waitress are busy running around. All in all great food!
One of my go-to restaurants! My favorite dishes are the braised pork belly, salt and pepper squid, and crispy pork.
Reasonable price, amazing taste. Great for group meals as you then can order different dishes and share.
The food is decent here, if you want a quick and cheap bit in the city. The beans are my favourite, can't go wrong. The prawn fried noodles had lovely flavours and a decent amount of prawns.
I visit BBQ Duck regularly and it never let's me down. The service is always fast and efficient. The food is great and if there are a few of us I always order the braised pork belly hot pot to share. It is delicious.
Came here almost everyday when I was a student and living in city! BBQ pork and crispy roast pork with rice always the best! The place is always busy.

Went here with Denny Setiawan once for their lunch deal - you can get bbq dishes with only $7.9 in weekdays..
And also have big party takeaway with office mate, we ordered duck, roasted pork, tofu, salted egg prawn, pork belly, beans and so many other and all of that are really good and delicious
We often get office lunches here and while the food is so delicious and often gone before photos are even possible I could not resist mentioning this flower honey tea that was just exquisite and totally unexpected. It goes so well after lunch and is plenty for 3. I absolutely love this place even as a vegetarian.
Had the $14.50 Combo deal on a Friday night. The set had 2 types of BBQ meat, that came with vegetables and sweet and sour pork. We had a bowl of soup too, as we were given the option of choosing between soup and tea. BBQ meats were tasty and good, and fatty enough! Friend thought that the char siew could be more charred though.
Couple of regulars here. The service here is different every time we go. Some days, the staff are standing at the door and will seat you straight away. Other times we have waited at the door to be seated, the staff have either walked passed us or they don’t acknowledge us at all so we grab our own menus and seat ourselves.
The food here is good. Sometimes when we are ordering our food, the waiter taking our order will look at us and ask if we really want all that food, which we think is rude. Other then that, the starters are always yum! We get them every time.
Overall, the food here is better than good. The staff are average but not the best.
I tried take away dish, roast pork & honey BBQ on rice. The roast pork is good its skin thin andvery crispy, composition fat and meat very good and tender and not too salty. Honey BBQ pork is perfect, not too much fat and the sweetness just right, smells good. The chilli is also nice, Very tempting.
Very friendly service! We had dinner around like 9 at night and it taste very good! The Duck and it’s sauce is very yummy! I would recommend y’all to come to this restaurant!
We come here quite often for dinner. They are very fast, and the service is good. The food is also very nice, especially the Peking Duck, which is only $28 for half a Peking duck. They also provide free entree soup and have a nice casual dining atmosphere
On a scale of one to the great Wall of China this place was probably somewhere like beijing Olympic stadium!
We ordered the peking duck and some chicken. Overall very yummy, but don't get roped into buying more chicken 🐔.
This is the Queen/Rutland streets branch guys/gals so another BBQ Ducky place as i was at Love a Duck in Mt Eden a couple of weeks ago and could almost write a same or similar review on this Hongky BBQ place (see separate review).
Had surimi sweet corn soup there and should had ordered the chook one as cannot remember why i did not? Nice looking Waitresses working there too they could be
sisters
I’ve heard great things about this place so really wanted to try it out. I ordered takeaway and choose 2 meats on rice. I had the BBQ chicken and crispy pork. If you’ve been to white & Wong, you’ll enjoy this place. For $14 this meal is decent portion, great flavour and quick service. If you’re hunting for a substantial meal in the CBD, this should be your go-to. 👌🏾
We wanted Peking duck and these guys delivered well. Had a whole Peking duck and a side of yummy salted green beans. We were in heaven. Friendly staff too 😁
Had a great meal here. Was really craving Chinese and this place delivered. Amazing deal/special which cost $14.50 for rice, soup or tea, sweet and sour pork, vegetables and 2 choices of BBQ meat. Definitely revisiting :)

My Fiance felt like some Chinese and came through here. It is one of his favourites. We got the Sweet and Sour Chicken with rice and a 5 piece (entree) mini spring rolls. Service is super prompt, as soon as walked in the door we were handed a menu. Order was taken and paid for. Food was ready in a decent amount of time, no more than 15 minutes. I liked the spring rolls more than the Sweet and Sour Chicken.
I would be keen to come back here though to try the Sweet and Sour Pork and BBQ Pork.
I ate in here with my friends, and I got to say that it was money well spent. It was very fulfilling for the price we paid, which was around $7.5 for each dish. Very tasty and when I left my laptop behind, I was so glad I gotten it back. Very trustworthy to say the least.
Ordered the braised pork and crispy pork as-well as the chicken fried rice . They were so good obviously its very fatty but that’s pork for you . Pretty cheap with huge servings. Will definitely go back when I’m craving pork again. Recommend to give a go.
This place is great for easy meals with big portions. Service was good especially when I went here I was in a hurry. Ive had better chinese takeaways but this place is still good. Quick meal, tasty and big portions. Will come back when I'm in the area.

A BBQ meat lovers dream! Had been craving crispy roast pork so we tried this for dinner as well as the braised pork belly hot pot & chicken fried rice. Amazing prices ($17.50 for the roast pork) for HUGE servings fast service and amazing flavours. We also ordered the 'curry puff' as an entree this was just a small crispy samosa that was similar to the ones you buy frozen from countdown (only reason it is not rated 5) but would still say this place is amazing & I will definitely be back
Great place to go especially if you're on budget. I usually pop in here once a week if I don't take lunch to work. I love their BBQ pork or crispy pork. If you're planning on coming for lunch then be prepared for the restaurant to be packed out. Usually just before 12pm is a good time! Service is quick and pasty so don't expect a 5 star restaurant because it is not! But it is delicious.
Stumbled across this gem when I was walking around Auckland City. You don’t think much of it at first as it’s located on a slanted side street. Great asian food, large portions and cheap prices. I had roast pork and duck with rice and it wasn’t too salty at all.
A great find for Chinese barbecue dishes. First visit today and we had BBQ Roast Duck, BBQ Pork, Crispy Skin Roast Pork, Braised Pork Belly in Hot Pot and Dry Fried Round Bean & Mince Pork. They are all yum, however the Crispy Roast Pork has more fat than meat and the duck was a bit chewy. The BBQ Pork and the round beans were my favourite for the day. Fast service and can really get busy at lunch time.
Massive portions! The Veggies aren't your usual Asian greens - instead you get cabbage and carrots. Not bad - just not what I was expecting. Had to take the rest home with me because I was so full. The bill was a bit mixed up and they forgot my bubble tea. But that was a blessing because there was no room for it! The chili oil is hot! - recommend if you like spicy!

One of our favourite spot when we are craving for some chinese roast pork. They have a $28 set for two, comes with two serves of roast, sweet & sour pork, vege, rice and tea. Portion is big and worth of money too
Food here is always very good although their quantities can vary sometimes. It is a very busy place and the high energy atmosphere reflects that. The service is always very fast and very helpful a go to place if we are out of meal ideas.
Amazing deal offered! The meat is tender and full of flavor! Veggie balances out the savory meal. This is perfect for everyday dinner! Serving is huge so it's super worth the price!
Got takeaway BBQ crispy pork, roast pork and roast duck and some yang chow fried rice. The BBQ meat was done well, the duck could've been crispier and it had a slightly weird plasticy taste that you sometimes get with BBQ meat, but it was well flavoured otherwise. The rice was a bit dry and bland for my liking, have had better Cantonese food elsewhere. But go for the BBQ meat.

Went there last Friday with a couple of mates. After 15 mins on deciding what we were going to order, I ended up getting the Lemon Chicken on Rice. Never tried it but the name gradually pulled into ordering it. Taking my first bite and the zingy flavour of lemon hits you. And that they stay true to their word when it comes to Lemon Chicken. I basically a lot of the rice to neutralise the flavour. Anyways it was a really nice meal and a new experience on how lemons can be more exposed on meat.
The service here was fantastic, they were very prompt into collecting our orders and delivering it to us. I thought the cooking time was going to a be a bit long, but they made it quite quickly which was good because I was ultra hungry.
In terms of the interiors, it's got that Chinese feel not to mention the mirrors of the left once you enter. I thought it was a another window, but it turns out that I could see my ugly reflection which was a bit of a laugh I must say. The tables varies to the amount of people visiting, whether two people or even six are dining in.
Found this place, while looking for somewhere to eat at 10pm :).
Sizzling beef = yummmmm! Flavors were so good. Beef nice and tender and good vege balance.
Also had BBQ pork and crispy pork on rice. Not the best BBQ & crispy pork I've had. Crispy pork not as crispy and BBQ quite minty which is ok but didn't really like that flavour.
Decent service & nicely set up & especially good for its opening hours :). Will come back if around town again.

Bustling dinner spot. Popped in around 6.30pm Friday and it was packed, we had to wait about 10mins for a table.
Ordered half a Peking duck, braised fish fillets in claypot, and 2 bowls of rice to share between the 3 of us. Including a bottle of Peroni, it came to just under $55.
You also get the option of Chinese tea or soup of the day per person along with the order, presumably if you haven't been deemed to order too little? Couldn't quite figure this one out as most places do at least tea included and soup optional at no charge. I'll forgive them since it's a CBD operation, high expenses and all.
Food was decent. Duck arrived with the usual accompaniments, my only complaint being that this isn't quite the crispy duck skin I was expecting! Still good flavour though, and very moist and tender.
The fish had the usual fragrance from a well cooked Cantonese dish. Can't go too wrong with deep fried and cooked in sauce....not crispy but exactly how I liked it. The were bits of veg and shitake mushrooms in there to help the flavour along.
Service was the usual for an Asian place (efficiency is king), but friendlier than you would expect.
Would come back! However take note:
Zomato location indicates they're on queen street, but they've actually moved slightly up, around the corner opposite aotea square.
They've also got additional branches on high street and Wyndham St, but this one's still the best so far IMHO :)
Delicious food and friendly service! We was greeted politely by a waiting staff and she offered us some lovely pork bones with carrots soup on a rainy day. I've ordered the Peking duck in wrap and soupy spicy beef. Comes in a big serving and its So yummy ! We can't even finished it and we ended up takeaway ! So nice! Will visit again very soon!
Had the BBQ pork and rice for the price it's was a pretty decent portion size. Food tasted great however the wait was a bit long. Good place if you're looking tasty BBQ meals.
Nice crispy pork. Sometimes cold and too much fat not enough meat. Have eaten it quite a lot actually. Best time to go is lunch time. Duck is great too. Crispy pork taste varies sometimes. Duck is alwaus good. Different parts of it have varying flavour intensity. Some good some not so good.
Great pork ribs.
You may prefer to try one of the freshly cooked things from the menu. I like the prawns.
It is cheap with what you get and the portion! I usually get the fried rice and i can only finish 1/3 of it...
If you dine in, you can choose the free soup or tea :)
Fantastic service and food at 115 Queen St ! Very friendly staff Anna will sort you out.
They also have a cafe on site. Also free WIFI too !
I've come here a few times and they're pretty cheap for the portion and quality of food they serve! Lots of variety to choose from as well, I refer my friends here too!
Good to see that they've opened another branch on high street too, business is doing well!
Will come back again soon!
Friendly staff
Quick service
Good price
Variety of choices
Some new foods introduced,I really wanna try, but they r just not in English, so I have no idea what the new foods r about.
One of the good places in Auckland for Chinese. Has take away options as well.
Has a good seating space and the staff is quite friendly.
Have had crispy pork, wonton soup, roasted chicken on rice, Soya chicken bbq pork, lemon chicken with toasted noodles, ubecake, prawns with fried rice noodles and stir fried prawns. Liked all of it.
Visit this place quite often.
This place is amazing!
With the friendly price menu we were not expecting top notch food, but the flavours were surprisingly on point. My sister had the ma po tofu on rice which she said was spicy and flavorful. Husband always enjoy their BBQ duck on rice, and I love their fried noodles. They are also willing to customize e.g. Change the type of noodles, make some items vegetarian, and add chilli to food....etc.
I also recommend their taro milk tea, simple yet good.
Service was fast and efficient. Definitely the go-to place if I am craving hearty Asian food.
Wonderful food and nice range. Just sad that a few front of house staff let it down. Have a great afternoon tea deal. Would recommend to be a place to go. Quite hidden away.
The best chinese restaurant you will find in CBD!
Since Number1 BBQ place closed down, this has been my go to place for any chinese cravings.
Tips:
For Lunch, you can either get:
-2 or 3 BBQ meat combination on rice - $14.50+
-Lunch combo (for 2 persons) which includes 3 dishes (garlic bokchoi, sweet n sour pork, 2 BBQ meat of your choice!) - $29 only!
-Beef with ginger on Fried rice. $14.50+$3 (for fried rice). not everyone knows you can upgrade to fried rice. only regulars do!
For big eater like me, i usually get the big BBQ meat platter(BBQ pork and Roast Duck), steam rice, free soup and a lot of hoisin sauce! :-) - $22~$25 depending on how many steam rice..
Don't forget to Hit LIKE or Comment if this review was of any help. Thanks!
Their food is really awesome but service is not good enough. Especially Duck BBQ and Noodles is awesome. Fried Rice is also good out of 5 it will get 3. Duty manager behave is really nice. they need to take more care about their customers. they should be hanging all foods separately like duck meat and pork should be separate. I see they hang all meat together.
Since moving into the CBD I have become a regular visitor. I absolutely LOVE the duck! Best place in the central city for a quick bite. Friendly service, fast and efficient!
Duck on rice with green beans and pork mince.... Awesome bite!
I have had an amazing experience in this restaurant and is my favorite when it comes for BBQ Duck or Pecking Duck.This place is a busy restaurant and I prefer Takeaway but if you Dine that is also fun.They serve authentic Chinese and specialise in BBQ Duck Roast.
I had BBQ Duck on Rice which was 12.80$(LuncMenu)It was delicious,very well cooked and the Quantity was Huge.I coudn't finish all so I took it home.
Another dish I tried was Pecking Duck,It was Roast boneless duck sliced abd served with Berry sauce,Cucumber slices and flour thin wraps with spring onions.This Dish is equally Amazing.
I recommend this place.
Price.Food.Quality.Quantity-Everything is GOOD and Location is also very convinient near Auckland Central Library.

My go-to place for large, tasty, and budget-friendly meals. BBQ Duck is your typical Chinese joint that provides consistently flavoursome food without breaking your wallets.
I've been here a few times already and the double meat on rice has never let me down. You get a plenty of meat, and the sauce combines well with the meat, albeit being a little unhealthy. My meal took around 10 mins to come out at peak lunch hour so it's pretty speedy here.
Showstopper: A filling meal which will cost you pennies.
Overall Grade: B+
Personally, I believe that #bbqduckcafe has the best #crispypork and #roastduck in Auckland CBD. The interiors have improved since they moved locations. We had their lunch special which 14.50 per person and you get #crispypork #roastduck #sweetnsourpork #bokchoy and free soup. This is one truly value for your buck! This place will always be a favorite and a hungover craving. Haha.
The best crispy pork in town at budget prices. Always crispy!!!! Service is fast and friendly. Rest of bbq dishes are very good too. Very casual ambience- as if you are back in a HK cafe.
This place was my canteen before. I enjoyed most of their all-in-one-plate dishes and free meat & veg. soup. Fll price was very fair, and they also offer special lunch deals with a more lovely price.
Generous portions at great prices of delicious Chinese food. They will make you wait. But it's worth it as they make everything after getting the order. Not like many others who have ready stuff made in large quantities that the assemble on a plate and present to you within five minutes of placing your order. Definitely worth eating at if you're considering Chinese around the queen street area. Recommended!
Juicy, tender, BBQ pork on rice??? YES SIR!!! The best I have ever eaten! This is one of my favourite takeaways stores. It is always packed with customers, however I always receive my order within 2-3 mins at the most. If your a looking for a good asian takeout for a reasonable price along Queen St, then this is the place to go. They have never disappointed me. Only downside is that their decor is not very appealing. This was the main reason why I have always walked past this place without a second look, however, I was very curious as to why it was constantly packed. Now I understand why....
My friend and I had finished work and were wondering what to have for dinner when we came across the BBQ Duck Cafe. Our first impression was that the place seemed popular as most of the tables were full and you could see a variety of different diners there - businessmen, students, uptown, casual alike. The decor was drab and tables were pretty close together - people definitely weren't there for the ambience so it had to be the food! It wasn't until our order arrived that we totally got it. We ordered the peking duck, crispy skin pork, steamed rice, curry puff and bbq spare ribs. We were in meat lovers heaven - love, love, love the duck and pork! We had a lot of leftovers to take home - portions were great. It definitely satisfied our craving for Chinese. Service was fast and efficient. Will definitely be back again.
This place is my 'local' when I'm at uni! They have an extensive menu with loads of options for all diets and dietary requirements. The decor of the restaurant is pretty outdated and tired, but it doesn't matter when the food tastes as good as it does! The service is very fast, not so friendly but they are polite. I love the authenticity of the place with every menu item having Chinese characters alongside the English. You must must must have the Peking duck - there is nothing better!
Pretty solid late night asian place for bbq pork and roast pork. They do a good deal around $10 for bbq meats with rice...and a complimentary bowl of soup too. Good stuff. This place has to be one of the best drunken night foods as they are open quite late...eat your heart out maccas/BK. They have an extensive menu also. Not one for a date night. But still good for a cheap feed. The portion sizes are huge too. If you like this sort of place, try the Chinese place on Durham Street.
If you're looking for a consistent good value Chinese food then this is the place. For something in the middle of Queen Street it's still very reasonable quite clean and the service is not bad. Highly recommended
It’s a very busy Cantonese-style restaurant on lunch and dinner time. Every day they will have lunch special of three different choices for $8.5 each. But we didn't pick the specials yesterday. We ordered Saute vege & duck shreds on rice ($12.5) and Singapore style noodles ($11.5). I ordered the Saute vege & duck shreds on rice because I had it before, about 1.5 year ago. It was very impressive. However, the one I ordered yesterday was quite different and bland. The good thing is I can tell they didn't put much MSG in the dish. It seems like they have changed the chef. The Singapore style noodles was very nice. Accept split payment and charge extra 3% for credit card.
Massive portions for the bbq combo. I'm a big eater and found myself with a decent amount of leftovers with the 3 meat combo on rice. Good quality and fast service. Be back to try some other dishes. Not much atmosphere but can't be beaten on portion size and quality for price.
Consistent, tasty, Chinese food. Probably the best in central city. Good prices, fast service. Good for a saturday night with friends. Try the crispy skin pork, and bbq pork.
Dicovered this place on a lunch break with a work colleague. Nothing flash to look at but the food is well worth the money. I ordered the BBQ pork on rice, WOW what a surprise!! Portion sizes are huge. Lucky I was hungry I didn't finish it alll though.
Went back 2 days later a got BBQ pork Takeaway. Great place for late night dinner. Highly recommend for cheap eats.
Another place to go for my late dinner near home 😁 My favourite choice is Shanghai noodle - extra spicy.. Little bit greasy but Yum~~~~ 😘 my partner likes to have roasted duck on rice which is also very good, big pieces, lots of meat not just skin and bone like some other places.
They give free hot tea as well, and sometime they even provide free hot soup if we don't want hot tea. 👍 I also like to order chicken corn soup.. Unlike the creamy thick western style corn soup, this soup is light and not cheesy... I love it... Very nice😍
Service was alright, average Chinese restaurant, staffs are quite friendly. They accept credit, but with surcharge here.. Well at least they accept it, some other Chinese they don't even take credit at all..
Always one of my options to go for a quick dinner in city... 😀
Like their roast duck and pork combos. Big servings for the price, more than enough for leftovers. Always walked past thinking it looked a bit dingy but surprised by the quality. Would try some of their other menu items.
I got BBQ roasted chicken on rice :) it's incredibly delicious. Just too much for a little girl lol it's not expensive at all if you compare with the quality !
Didn't expect too much from this place. To be honest, prior to my visit, I thought they just served quick take-out type dinners, like the ones you get from your local takeaway in a polystyrene box.
To my surprise, I had dinner here on Friday night with a table of 9 and they served actual dishes that you would get at a proper large Chinese restaurant.
We ordered about 9 dishes, and most of them were actually rather decent. My favourite, of course was the peking duck. I'd go back just for that probably!
The deep fried squid and spicy chicken also proved to be popular amongst our table, as was the fish hot pot and fried rice with bbq pork.
Nice place to go to with a large group, on a cold rainy night.
Great food and prices. My first choice for Chinese takeaways in Auckland CBD. My only suggesting is that they should have pictures on their menu of what food looks like, and offer dumplings on the menu.
The food was good and reasonable price. The service was not bad but not good some of the waiter and waitress have difficulty expressing themselves in english specially when you ask about the menu. Their promos are trap dont go there and order the food in menu directly, you have to tell them about you are avail the promo which is rediculous.
Great for the price good portions friendly service, I have a thing about beef brisket its a hard bit of meat to great right as if it is under cooked it is tough. But they know this I get the brisket curry number 78 on the menu for $11.50 have not been disappointed yet happy eating :-)
Best Peking duck at this place. Very reasonable price. Try lemon duck - Yum. Dine in or take out. Friendly staff, sometimes they forget to bring u tea if your non Chinese. But ask, they give u smile back. I have been recommending this place to friends and families. Awesome food
I went there today. Just got a takeaway of chicken wings. The food is so good and cheap. But i waited more than 15 minutes after order even in quite time.
I went here for lunch today. I have come across people recommending me to try the roast duck from this place, so today I finally did. I ordered fried noodles with roast duck and my friend got roast duck on rice. I loved my fried noodles with roast duck, the noodles tasted good eventhough it was slightly oily and the roast duck was good too. However, it was a little pricey for that meal. They also served us with chinese tea in a teapot, the tea wasn't too light like in some asian restaurants which was good. The soup was not too bad either. I will go back to try other dishes when I feel like having chinese. :)
Quick & efficient with phone order. Meal was what I wanted and more.
Menu :4 ( Very Extensive)
Service:4 ( Waiters take time to explain the menu items)
Food Quality :3.5 ( bit oily food , certainly not healthy)
Taste of food :5 (excellant i would say )
Overall its a good restaurant when you dont know what to eat (and want to avoid BK, Wendy's etc).
Just go and flip their menu.
Even though I have moved out of the CBD, this is still the only place I will buy my roast duck and BBQ pork. I generally love most of the dishes that I've order here. I also took my Chinese mum here when she was visiting Auckland and she told me I found a "good one."
I've also always had brilliant service, granted I am a regular. One waitress even noticed that "haven't been there in a while" and I explained to her that I moved out of the city.
I will probably be heading back there soon for more roast duck as my stash in the freezer is getting low.
I know it's not the cleanest or coolest place but this is (in my opinion) the Only place to go when I want Chinese food. They're also BYO and as far as I can tell corkage is free AND you can bring any alcohol, not just wine or beer. Their Peking duck is absolutely fantastic with heaps of duck, free extra sauce and the proper steamed pancakes. One 1/2 Peking duck is plenty big enough for two (girls anyway).
I would definitely recommend for dinner before town or just dinner in general.
The best BYO restaurant in Auckland in my opinion.
Love the $8.50 Soya sauce chicken on rice. Best soya sauce chicken that I have ever had.
I go there almost everyday during university and I always ordered the same Soya Sauce Chicken on rice.
Good price, keep up, stay cheap and stay delicious.
This was the best BBQ and crispy pork on rice I have ever had. The service was great, friendly and fast. I make sure I tell all my friends about the place and will certainly go back many times.
Absolutely yummy food! The food was fresh and the wait was only 10 minutes at the most which was well worth the wait :) the service was wonderful with a young man who served us who was very polite and the dishes and tables were clean ! The price range was also very cheap when it comes to Asian cuisine. Highly recommend it to anyone that's in the city :)
walked in here when it opened and have been back many times. great value for money and open good hours. my partner loves the brisket soup with your order and great sauce with the dish.. all round top spot
The cafe serves Cantonese style roast chicken, duck, pork and other cook to order selections. Quick service, recommended for quick meal. Overall, good experience.
Basic Chinese eatery with roast meat, wonton noodles, hot pots, stir-fried meats, etc. - actually quite an extensive menu. Our go-to place for picking up a cheap, quick and tasty meal in the central city, for instance before we go to watch a movie.
If the waiters are paying attention, you will get a free tea or bowl of soup. Otherwise, assert yourself and wave them down.
Typical Chinese restaurant with all the classics like sweet and sour pork, roast duck, BBQ pork etc. The great thing about this place is it has great deals although you have to decipher the menu's broken English. This is definitely not your 5 star fancy restaurant but if your looking for a quick and filling Chinese meal then this is a great option for sure.
Great food at reasonable prices. Hefty serving but won't break your wallet. Crispy pork a must try.

I loved their food. their bbq pork and roast duck was really good. :)
The foods always satisfy our palate and full our stomach. The service also superb, warm welcomed. Their best deal never fail!
We went to this place today and it was the best duck on rice I’ve ever tasted. I asked for chilli oil and they gave a generous amount, the inside of the restaurant is so cute and has a nice aesthetic, the bathroom is cute too & it’s clean. The staff are nice too and they made our food so fast. Definitely recommend.
Worth Trying.
Quality roast meats, generous portions but very high prices (which apparently is the norm now in NZ). I'm used to $13 for two-meat-platters in Toronto, so $21-$23 is a bit of a shock.
BBQ Pork was very tender and flavourful, unexpected given the light red colour and near zero char. Looked like it was steamed/boiled.
Duck was good, tender with crispy skin. Decent quarter portion with leg, thigh and two breast pieces.
Expect $20+ pp. They provide a large bowl of soup which was very nice. Does not take AMEX.
Had roast duck with noodles. They call it stir noodles. $20. Had tea which was complimentary. No complimentary soup. Portion was good and duck was yummy. Tender and not salty. Loved it. The waitresses were so good. Well done. Not cheap but everything is expensive after COVID.
Best bang for the buck restaurant in CBD!
If you are a solo traveller staying in Auckland CBD and need a mean feed without breaking the bank then this is one of the best option. Two meats on rice is my go to meal with corn soup on the side.
Green delicious And Good service Great visiting to have Dinner here at the first Night in Auckland.
I will Highly recommend you and your Family to dine here
Great place for a quick lunch. But looking at photos by others, and experience from another franchise, they must have forgotten our complimentary soup during this visit.
It was my favourite restaurant in the cbd, but the prices have gone up - a lot. Still give it a high rating though, because it is worth it, if you can afford it, as the food is very delicious. And they give you either free soup or tea.
Portion was huge and meats were tasty. The complimentary soup definitely a value add for an asian like me
Potion is big, reasonable price, complementary soup. Authentic Chinese cuisine.
Well well well, again you find your family lost in the city and they are Craving Chinese food. Look no further than BBQ Duck Cafe #350. We were led here by our uni son and we were greatly surprised. I mean wow, from our greeting at the door, to finding an open table, it started out very well. The food was delivered quickly and hot. It was flavorful and very, very good. Our sweet & sour chicken and honey chicken were cooked to perfection. Thank you staff and cooks of BBQ Duck Cafe #350 for a great experience. Check them out, if you're lost in the city, you will not be disappointed.
Got some dinner for takeaway as family recommended we try it out. Absolutely no regrets! While the roast pork was good, the star of the show was the duck. The flavour was sensational and the texture fantastic even after being in the container for a wee while until it was opened at the hotel.
Great food, large servings for a very good price!
Will definitely be back and hopefully eat-in next time.
First time eating here and all good! I ordered BBQ duck and BBQ pork on rice and it’s so delicious! Friendly staff. It might get busier during dinner time, so you might need to wait for a bit to be served.
The food was delicious. Huge serving size which makes it a good deal for the price. Dinner menu is more expensive so do ask for their lunch menu (which is served with rice). Service was good but the only comment I have is that, the place smells a bit funny every once in a while and I don't think it's because of the food. Other than that, will be keen to head back here again
This is probably the best place in Auckland for Roast Duck on rice. Been to a few places but this ones my favourite. We come here probably 1-2 times a month. The Roast Duck portions are generous (one Roast Duck on rice will feed one hungry person or be enough for two to have a snack). They also do Peking Duck with pancakes. Definitely the place to come get your fix for duck. Lots of drinks (beer, wine, non alcoholic). All the food you'd expect in a Chinese food place.
We arrived at a busy time - the service was good despite an error in communication during our order.
The food itself was quick and tasty. Though we only tried their special (which was good value). The venue was tidy and accomodating for what it is.
Nice place in the centre of Queen Street with good food. Would recommend.
Best Peking Duck in Auckland. Half Peking Duck, a plate of vegetables and 2 beers for $59.00 - Pretty good deal for a dinner for two in Auckland CBD. The consistency here is great. Always superb service and quality food with nice customer service. usually very fast service too. My partner and I go here regularly over many years. I highly recommend a visit.
