Easy to use website for ordering takeaways! After placing an order, you receive a text to let you know what time your order will be ready, mine was about 15mins after ordering! Pretty awesome service under covid level 2. When i arrived to get my order, it was all ready for me to collect. Takeaway yum cha will be the new norm for us :)
Amazing Service. I'm very impressed with how Mandarin Palace has handled this COVID situation. I was a bit unsure as most Chinese takeaways don't have an online website where you can order food and wasn't sure how the social distancing would go... but Mandarin Palace has done very well. They have a very user friendly website where I easily ordered food online and it had a secure payment system. I was even more impressed when I got an email confirmation about my order, as well as a text notification. When I arrived to pick up my order bang on 6pm, the food was ready and waiting for me on the table. The waitress knew it was for me and happily pointed me to my food. Excellent service and the food was just as good always. Mandarin Palace never disappoints me and I will definitely be back! Thank you Mandarin Palace!
Came here for yumcha, wasn’t many food options but it was a Monday. seemed to be quite busy .Nothing special but decent local joint.
Awesome place, ate here last time and the staff were nothing but amazing. Love the food and honestly one of the best places for pecking duck 😍
I come here for my Yumcha every time! It’s local to my house, very cheap for good quality and authentic Yumcha! My favourites are definitely the Siu Mai, BBQ pork buns and the chicken feet. I love the atmosphere because it is always busy!
This place isn't to bad been here a few times before just to get the combination meats on rice it's cheaper to takeaway then to eat in they don't talk English very well but can still understand if you speak clearly n slowly tastey food thou
Stopped by for dinner on a Sunday and aside from the party, it wasn't too busy.
Nice selection of food on offer and picked quite a few to try.
Favourite of the bunch is the egg tofu with minced pork. The tofu was silky and crispy while the sauce was great on its own. The cod two ways was interesting, the meat stir fried with veggies and the bones fried with tofu.
It was quite a nice dinner and the portions were decent.
I have been wanting some yumcha loving for a long time. I find that my family and I enjoy some yumcha session every time I come home to Auckland. So I asked a girlfriend if she knows somewhere new to try with my family as we always go to the same places. We always order the usual as per photos and she is right. It is pretty good but there are some dishes that I don't think is better than the old places that we go to.
One of the yumcha places me and the family hit up when we're craving for yumcha for years now!
Over the years quality and service does fluctuate.
But overall, today's lunch was good! Satisfying and food was readily available. There's a good variety of yumcha goods here.
Will continue to hit this place up for yumcha cravings!
I think that the place is not bad for yum cha. Haven't tried the a la carte yet. One thing that I miss is having chilli sauce like sriracha instead of chilli oil. So far, I think that their food tastes good and is reasonably priced even though selection is not as good as other places. We usually go on Saturdays instead of Sundays to avoid the crowd.
Yum cha is often not consistent. Many restaurants change ownership or management frequently and you can no longer guarantee the same taste or quality of food even two or three months after any given visit. This is one of those situations. However, I've never had yum cha here so awful that it warrants anything less than a 3 out of 5.
If you've had food here that's below average, I would really give it a few months and come back if this is the closest or most convenient location. In the case of average, mindless food, yum cha is fun and easy to enjoy. Besides, the company makes for half the meal.
Mandarin Palace is a chinese restaurant based in Highland park that does both Yumcha during the afternoon and a la carte in the evening. Though I've eaten at both sittings, I much prefer the yumcha.
They have a good range of the essentials - all of which are really good when they're fresh. I usually grab a few dishes for lunch as takeaway and they have always been good.
I recommend the pork spare ribs, prawn dumpling, siu mai and the mochi w the durian cream filling. Yum!
Been having both yum char and dinner here for awhile and have had positive experiences everytime. My most recent dinner there yesterday consisting of steam blue cod, sweet and sour pork, Peking duck and roast chicken was stunning. Apart from good food, the place has a lift for those with mobility challenges as its situated on the second floor. Overall excellent Asian food and will definitely come back.

We arrived at 5.30 when the restaurant was empty. The service on the phone when I booked left a lot to be desired, but when we arrived we were very well looked after (as Europeans) by a lovely English speaking lady (others didn't seem to know much English). We ordered mussels (in shells) with ginger, sweet & sour pork, Mongolian beef, chicken and cashew nuts and prawn fried rice. The food was delicious, FRESH and arrived fast. I couldn't get enough of it until I was full! My parents were visiting from Australia and we very impressed. My fussy, young son was also catered for with chips and a hotdog. For 5 adults and one child it came to $115 which was great value! The spacious surroundings, novel lazy suzy table mechnism and 36° view was also refreshing. I wouldn't hesitate to return and would recommend to all. : )

Good place for very affordable yumcha. Only paid $21 per person which was a surprise. Flavours are good. However they did forget one or two of the dishes I have ordered.
Came here first time for my birthday. Wonderful!! Service was friendly Sandra the host was welcoming and friendly. They had everything on the menu we like, and all the food was served hot! As they don't have trolleys that go around it was nice to have everything come to the table at once and not have to wait.
Place was clean, got a table instantly during peak times. Food came out within 15 minutes and was delectable.
Awesome food for both yum cha and dinner. We eat there most weeks.
Good food. Lovely staff. A fave for our family.
Amazing shu mai and other delicious dim sum. Went with mum a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time. The manager is also very lovely. We shared a great chat about the amazing food and produce we have in New Zealand. I would go there again.
Not a bad place for dim sum at all. The taste is just all right. Would recommend this place for others.
Love it here, food is always yummy, good service and friendly staff 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Good selection of yum char. Tasty and fresh.
Me and my family visit this restaurant several times a week. The dishes we love most are "special made tofu", sweet and sour pork (hard to make nice sweet and sour pork, but they make it great), beef in pepper source, prawn ball. There are still different yummy dishes that worthwhile for a try. I recommend this place.
Authentic and high quality Cantonese cuisine. Good surprise in Auckland.

Mandarin Palace never disappoints me and I will definitely be back. Thank you guys.
