Came here for a work meeting. We were so happy to have found another decent Chinese restaurant!
The venue was so beautiful and elegantly decorated, it was also very spacious, perfect for a wedding reception dinner or something.
Even the side dishes/entree of salted peanuts and pickles were tasty. For the main items, both the presentation and the flavours were on point. I do not normally like egg plants, but this restaurant has definitely changed my mind due to how juicy and soft they have cookies it down to, which was heavenly accompanied with the thick sweet sour sauce.
Have no complaints for this place, perhaps with the exception of its price :p Best reserved for special occasions.
A good venue for group celebrating or business dining. Price was not lovely, but reasonable. Most of dishes are tasty with good looking. I have to insist that nothing for nothing, a little bit for half a penny.
The dishes are quite creative. It combines with jiangnan and Taiwanese style cuisine. We enjoy the private room service. A good place to serve my clients.
We enjoyed this place. The decor is different to what you would expect for a Chinese restaurant, which is nice.
The food was honest, real food that seemed to be made from scratch rather than relying on spice mixes and the like. Portions were large (don't get one each unless you're very hungry!). Good value.
Staff were pleasant and efficient.
All up, a very good experience!
We were invited to dinner at Paradish Restaurant last night. Ordinarily, we would not have chosen to go there based on the mostly negative reviews of the restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality, presentation and size of dishes. Although the prices are slightly higher as compared to other restaurants of similar standing, the former made up for this. The size of the dishes (mains) were huge and can easily feed a table of up to 8 (average appetite). The environment was pleasant...clean & conducive. We were served by a waiter who was quite pleasant but cannot say the same for the waitress who took our orders. Although she was not rude, there was not a trace of smile on her face and she did not sound friendly at all. The food arrived quite quickly, in succession. The pleasant waiter who served us earlier finally lost all his brownie points when one of our friends requested for the sweet soup to be served hot. He looked a little reluctant but did say he will try or something like that. The sweet soup arrived, at room temperature. When our friend made a comment about her request, there was no response from the waiter. By 9.15 pm, we were the last table left and that was when lights were switched off/dimmed. Our friend had paid the bill earlier and we decided to leave at this juncture. Although we were not told to leave but thought the action was both rude and blatant. I hope the restaurant owner/s checks the online reviews of the restaurant so that s/he/they are aware of what improvements/adjustments to make. We do hope to return to the restaurant in the near future, to try the other food. One last thing, please do something about the rusty base of your water tanks. It is definitely an eye-sore in the otherwise nice environment. Besides, this is the very place where you place your prized food items...live seafood. :)
Im a kiwi, when I think chinese restaurant I think average this place blew me away, decor is really clean and welcoming 5 star presentation, the food was not like anything I have tasted before, top quality and huge meals. Initally I thought it was expensive but the owner told us not to order as much food aswe tried to. NOTE the meals are massive and definitely worth every cent. Been again and again since highly recommended, just be prepared when you go this is authentic chinese and yes their will be a slight language barrier, worth it all day long.
Went here late on a Friday night. Food was superb !! my new favourite Chinese in Auckland. Not sure what service is like when they are busy but the staff were super friendly to my girlfriend and I. Lots to choose from on the menu with some dishes that you would struggle to find elsewhere in Auckland. Ordered 3 dishes and some fresh shellfish and had to take some home for lunch today as there was still plenty left after we had satisfied our bellies. Recommend!
Food was excellent and a very modern Chinese restaurant. will be back again to try rest of their menu.
I'm a Chinese. The food was great. Difference kind of food you can not find at any restaurant in Auckland. We been there 4 times . Will come back this Saturday. For prices you pay for what you get. Not some takeaway foods. Staff service are great too.
Excellent meal, will definitely return. Wide range of food, well presented and good service. Will look forward to a return visit.
Every aspect of this restaurant was superb!
The interior design was stunning and so exciting and fashionable - quite a contrast to most chinese restaurants.
The service was very attentive & caring.
We were the only non-chinese eating there and made to feel very welcome.
the food was so delicious and so reasonable!!!!
If Paradish can do all these things- why cant other restaurants??
Cant wait to return!!!
Had dinner on friday night.Nice and Clean Chinese restaurant i have ever seen.
Fantastic food and will back again.
Staff need more trainning for service at a busy time.
Expensive. However they have unique items on the menu and foods delicious. More of a place to go as a group though since servings are huge.
Be warned they have shark fin on the menu so if that's something you feel strongly about, may want to reconsider.
Good food but a bit pricey
