Good environment and nice food!
Excellent service and delicious food with acceptable price. Will go again with family and friends. Recommended.
Me and my friend loved it here!! fast and friendly service, had a great experience and was not disappointed like some others👌🏼would definitely return again.
Staff members were quick with serving and the food was also good!!
Can't really tell the difference with the one in town inside the cinemas - both are great places to go for dining in
I love this place. My all time fave dishes here are the curry seafood laksa, nasi lemak beef rendang and of course their deep fried chicken skin. I often order the coconut paradise for my drink. Good atmosphere and food served fast.
Sadly, their deep friend chicken skin is not often available and it can get crowded during peak hours. Hence, 4 stars.
Generous food servings. Service is great & so is the ambience of the restaurant. Menu has a lot of variety of Malaysian food. Ease of ordering 5/5. Love the table service too. Staff are really polite & helpful.
You can never go wrong with Paparich! Their chicken laska is definitely my favourite!
The only thing is this place is always busy so you need to go early if you dont want to wait.
Highly recommended!

Definitely one of my preferred places to eat when I visit Sylvia Park! The dining area is very big (I came around 1pm on a Saturday and the place was packed with people (especially lots of baby prams). There was an approximate wait of 30 minutes which led to big parties of 5-10 people standing on the balcony area and blocking the entrance.
One of my favourite drinks here is the Milo! (They put the perfect amount of Milo that will put all your childhood cravings to rest). Another one of my favourites is the Kaya in the steamed bun with butter - I had this after my entire lunch and it somehow managed to make me hungrier for more food.
I got the chilli pan mee and it was very filling and 100% would recommend!
I liked how they get you to write down your order, it means you can have a bit more time to think, rather than having people come to your table every few minutes asking if you’re ready to order. The only issue is that I guess it wastes a lot of paper (?).
Overall would recommend this place to grab lunch if you’re here shopping, I definitely think its worth the wait for the food.
Food: 5/5
Ambience: 3/5
A big dining, clean and classy. The food turned out like it was displayed. After placing the order the food arrived in 10 mins. Been here so many times and every time the service was fast. The food was staggering. I keep coming back for the biryani rice and laska😍
I came here at 2 30pm and it was still packed. However, we were promptly seated.
The service was not too great, some of them brush you off and make it clear they're busy.
For 3 we ordered half a Hainan chicken + chicken rice, roti canai with beef rendang, roti Kaya, deep fried chicken skin, and a matcha rocks drink.
The Hainan chicken was tender while the skin was chewy, and the flavours were authentic. Roti canai was buttery and a good thickness, the dipping sauces accompanied it well. However, the beef was too tough and was hard to eat. Roti Kaya was also buttery and perfect sweetness level. The chicken skin was overfried so it was much too hard to eat, it's the only thing I wouldn't get again.
All in all, a Malaysian restaurant with good food, closer to eat Auckland that id come back to.
the food here is really good.
service is very fast so it's nice not needing to wait too long for a meal.
they have a good wide selection of authentic Malaysian food - will be back to try more
The Malaysian food here is great and tasty.
Food is always served fast (even when it’s busy)! Haven’t been disappointed to date.
Will be back
Premises very clean and spacious. Service was quick and easy. First time having roti and was surprised by how delicious it was - flakey and flavourful. The portions were a bit smaller than would’ve liked, however. Overall, a pleasant experience.
This place is always busy! So prepare yourself. Once you can get a table you can see why, food and drink are amazing and the service is quick! I cant stop eating the roti! This place definitely hits the spot, so much to choose from you will never run out of options. If you haven't been you must be living under a rock.
Came here with family, a good family restaurant. There was a wait of 1 hour for dinner but very efficient. Food is tasty and fast, drinks are very good.
First time at this place last week Saturday for lunch and absolutely love it...Good food, Good Service!! 👍👍 would definitely go back there again 🙂
Went here on Saturday for lunch. It was very packed, so we had to wait 15 minutes before we was seated. Ordered the fried fish curry noodles, chicken rice and the beef rendang. The quality is similar to most of the Malaysian places i've been to, which is not bad.
Food quality - 4/5
Taste - 3.5/5
Service - 3/5 despite having so many people
Will come again to try other dishes.
Came in on waitangi day for dinner and the place was pretty full. That being said the food came really fast however it did take awhile for someone to collect our order cause the way they do it is you write down what you want on this sheet and then you press a button to call a server to collect your order. However we pressed the button twice but no one came till I waved a waitress down nearby.
The food itself is quite decent especially for the price. I had the char kuay teow which was nicely done and had what us cantonese people call "wok hey" or that sought after charcoal edge from the wok that gives a dish a certain liveliness. I also ordered the tropical lime concoction. that was alright but it was a bit too sweet and artificial tasting for my liking. The poached chicken from one of the rice dishes was done well and was very smooth.
All in all, good restaurant for a quick meal if you want a step up from takeaways or fast food. But probably not the best for a pleasant dinner date.
Love this place, feels like you are actually eating in a Malaysian mall, its always full but the service is fast, Food is delicious! and the fruity beverages are a must to try. Personal favorite the Mango mania. Reasonable price.

Absolutely great food and amazing service from staff. Full house but we received our food within minutes. friendly staff.... amazing food... Couldn't ask for more
Still one of the best places to eat Malaysian food. Tasty and relatively tidy. But the price is quite high compared to others.

Best restaurant in Sylvia park shopping center. Love the seafood noodles and drinks here. Dessert is normal but creative. Hainanchicken is full of flavour.nice cook.
It was good place for diner. I used to try noodles here but i tried rice today. It was better than i expected. It served very quickly. Busy restaurant.
A very good Malaysian restaurant with a very elaborate menu, the roti canai is a must try and so is the Malaysian ice coffee. A bit on the expensive side for anyone who has tried Malaysian at other joints.
Have been here once and would love to go back again😊 The food was nice and staff were very nice too, loved the atmosphere and it’s a pretty chill for a date or just to eat😊
My friend & I decided to go to Paparich's for dinner. I ordered the
N12 which was a soupy mixture of boiled chicken & prawn with noodles. It wasn't salty, it wasn't sweet & the chicken & prawns were very juicy. The bowl it was served in was larger than my head & I thought I'd never be able to finish it BUT good golly miss Molly, that is exactly what I did. Lol. Needless to say it was delicious. The drink was a little too much on the sweet side, so I may try something else next time. I'm definitely going here again!☺
Came in for lunch with mom today. Ordered a fish head noodles soup and a toasted hainan bread with condensed milk. Bread was super thick and crispy. Tasted as if it was fresh out the oven. Perfect amount of condensed milk over bread. The fish head was crispy on the outside. Noodles were rice noodles and soaked up lots of flavour from the broth.
I'm a regular to PappaRich. The reason I'm keeping come to here is the drinks they are offering. They're all taste good and colourful. For the food part, I always order three things Pappa special nasi lemak, Pappa chicken with steamed rice and Deep fried chicken skin. They are all good choices!
Just went here today for first time it’s my birthday love it the food was brilliant I had the prawn mee gorin it was delicious and the tropical lime with ice cream that was good will go again 👍🏻
Sylvia Park is my favourite haunt. Beside Zara & Platypus, PappaRich is my next go to. Ordered a curry kway teow with steamed chicken & a Ipoh kway teow soup with chicken slices & thought of Malaysia straight away! The portion size is huge & left the restaurant feeling not only full but super HAPPY!
I enjoyed my time at Papparich in Sylvia Park. It serves up the same great tasting food and friendly service that I’ve come to expect from their branches in Queen St and in Wellington.
My friend and I both had the Nasi Lemak and finished our meals happy and full. The curry does have a bit of spice to it though.
There was lots of space when we came at 4:30pm on a Wednesday afternoon, but I’ve noticed long queues during peak hours on other nights that I’ve visited Sylvia Park.
I’d happily come back to Papparich at Sylvia Park – keep up the good work!
Absolutely delicious Malaysian food.
Service is just above average.
Especially liked the wah tan hor. Smokey fried rice noodles and silky sauce.
The curries were also pleasant on the old pallet.
Would return again when back for movie.
Went here for a friend's birthday and it was rather pleasant. The food was extremely tasty, and the drinks were great. The only note of contention is the fact that there is a rather long wait to get a seat, but what do you expect? When the food, ambience, and service are all on point.
Very busy place even on a Monday. We came here just before the busy lunch hour and managed to get a table for seven without a booking. A few staff had limited english so there was abit of a struggle with communication. I love that we order our own food and each table has a buzzer to call for attendance. Food was delicious and generous. Would definitely come back for more although abit over priced.
glad paparich opened in sylvia. all the foods are tasty and generous amount. love the kaya spread buns,go for the steam bun than the toast. the fish fillet curry soup? this is the best, the fish is crispy outside and not over cooked and heaps in the noodle, it comes with vermicelli noodle but too much noodles in the soup,i tend to change the noodle to other type or ask for half noodle.
Great place to eat here. Big restaurant with lots of seats. Prices are fair. Love the curry and roti, drinks are great too. Excellent friendly service.
I usually go to their branch in city (Sky World on Queen Street) however I was out this way so I tried the food here. Although they seem slightly slower here than in the CBD, their food quality is still at an incredibly high standard. They also gave my table 2x $10 off vouchers as they were running a promotion. So that made me come go back twice, and the food quality has been consistent over all 3 times here. Would recommend here if you want Malaysian food and are out this way!
Big love for this Malaysian restaurant for their ABC ice kacang! This is actually a chain restaurant so you can expect a certain standard for their food. The environment is very comfortable and the washroom is clean. A good ambient place with nice food is important to me and if the waitresses are attentive and friendly it will be perfect. Therefore I will give 5 stars for here although I think they are a little bit pricy.
The long que is a testament to the authentic Malaysian flavours served up at this establishment, we had to wait 30 minutes to be seated but well worth the wait.
This place is always busy, which is always a good sign. Food was amazing. Served promptly and very clean restaurant. Very family friendly place too.
Great tasting food with perfect sized portions.
Really liked the easy ordering system and considering how busy it was the food came out in a good amount of time. Also liked how spacious the seating was. Will be back for more.
The food was amazing. We love the ordering system.. It is while a wait for the food. But it's worth a way. We enjoyed the service also. Very nice place and environment. I would love to go back again. Good Malaysian food one of my top five pick.
The food here was great. The only negative was that we had to wait about 5 minuets for a table to be free because it was busy on a Saturday night. The service was OK. They didn’t give us water until we asked them.

Have been here a few times.Generally have been good experience overall. Hands down my favourite would be the Nasi Lemak with beef randing. The rice was packed full of flavour with coconut milk and hint of pandan.I could have just eaten the rice by it self. The combination of sweet from the rice, savoury from the fried anchovies, spice from the sambal sauce and crunch from the peanuts.Perfect combination. The fish fillet noodle soup was warming and tasty.love the big chunks of fish. Fried chicken skin was crispy and tasty (beware for those who have high blood pressure!) I always get the the pappa cham (tea) its good whether hot or cold. Have also tried the matcha on the rocks which is probably best to be drink/eaten as a dessert because of the ice cream component. The char koay teow was ok, predominant flavour was the flat noodle ( would have preferred more spices/sauce/soy sauce). Meals are reasonably good size.
Only disadvantage is they don’t take reservations. So either go early before peak meal time hours or be ready to wait for a table.
Ambience: 5/4

The chicken curry laksa is always my favourite here as well as the roti & curries. Staff are always friendly & quick when needed. Always a good experience here.
Their kopi (sweet dark coffee) and kaya toast (thick butter served with sweet coconut jam/jelly) is a favourite of ours for any time of the day. And yes this is a Malaysian restaurant, but it takes us back to Singapore - their Hainan chicken rice is always tasty and satisfying, and the roti is fluffy and heavenly.
I ordered the Pappa Char Kway Teow for lunch. I was impressed by the serving size when my dish arrived and the flavour tasted as expected. It was tasty and enjoyable. I recommend to visit here early because the restaurant gets packed by 12pm, especially on weekends. The atmosphere is certainly classy and when there is low light, the lighting sets an elegant mood in the room.
Friendly service, me and my friends went at night to have dinner there it was very busy! But service was fast and the steam chicken was delicious!
Great food, great value and great location. we waited about 10min for our table but it was well worth it. my laka noodle was really good and highly recommended.
Came here around 6pm on a Monday night. The restaurant was well lit and decorated. We waited at the front to be seated which did not take long.
Having visited the CBD store many times we were hoping that the food did not disappoint.
We ordered a milo dinosaur and milk tea with coffee jelly to drink.
My partner ordered a dish, I forgot the name, but he was pleased with the taste. We also ordered a roti with three dipping sauces and I ordered chicken curry with garlic naan.
The garlic naan did not appear as aesthetically pleasing as the one on the menu but it was tasty all the same.
The curry chicken had a nice mild flavour and a pleasant mix of spices. The naan was perfect to mop up the sauces.
The roti had purple onions and a faintly sweet taste which was different but nice in its own way. It was paired with three sauces, all quite different so you do get to taste a variety. Highly recommend this.
Overall the bill came to just over $50 for two.
Thank goodness Auckland finally has Papparich!! This is the place to go for an authentic taste of Malaysian cuisine. Highly recommend the Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Pan Mee, Char Kway Teow and make sure you order Sambal eggplant as a side! (Heavenly!!) Plus their massive selection of drinks is fantastic. Their coconut slushy is dreamy and their lychee soda (served with whole lychee and lime slices) is the perfect accompaniment for any spicy dish.
ALSO if you are a fan of sago, I highly recommend the caramel pudding with sago (Asian version of pannacotta) surrounded my coconut sago and sweetened with gula melaka (to die for!)
we popped in for lunch not long after it opened. the place was extremely busy but we managed to get a table as there was only two of us.
I had a chicken curry and my friend ordered a rice noodles dish. We agreed to share a beef Randang as an appetizer. Plus we each got a mango drink.
The Beef Randang was cold so we were forced to send it back. Thankfully the replacement was piping hot. Other than that, the food was quite acceptable although portion size tended on the smaller scale.
Good food but a little slow service being busy Friday evening. Would go again to try some different dishes.
A good place if one wants to try Malay cuisine.
Ordered two types of noodles- delicious. Great variety on menu with lots of interesting drinks. Fast and efficient service with a buzzer on the table to call staff. Surprisingly expensive compared to other Malaysian restaurants but given the restaurant setting probably still worth it.
The place is actually really good. It’s totally worth the price. Overall it’s quite cheap. My family went there for a meal and ended up loving the place. There’s lots on the menu and isn’t overprice. The ingredients they used are fresh and always serve hot. Highly recommended. The customer service is quite good too.
I would have given a 5 star rating but the air conditioner there makes me question the overall experience a bit. So just saying if you go there, you might want to have a jumper or another layer on just in cast.
A great place for lunch and dinner. The meal portions are good and the price isn’t so bad. Deep fried chicken skin was great as well as the main meal.
Yummy food (but it seems like they have added MSG in it - hope I'm wrong)
Service can be a lot better otherwise I'd be happy to give them 5 rating.
One of the best Nasi Lemak in NZ. Really love it.
Service is good, and restaurant is really clean. Food safety is A.
I definitely will come back.
Been here several times and never disappointed. Though there often be a really long lines but worth the wait. Food is really yummy with a reasonable prices for main course meal but desserts portion don’t worth it price but still tasty just too pricey. 4.5 star for the overall taste and some reasonable prices for the meal.
Absolutely amazing! First time being here. Had a full restaurant which is always a good sign, had a great way to place orders so you weren’t being nagged by a waitress. Huge selection of meals. Well priced, and food was delicious! My partner is a chef and loved all the flavours in his meals! One of our new favourites. We will be back for sure!! Highly recommend
Glad it opened at Sylvia Park. Been loving this place for years and I am glad they opened here. The food is still yummy and great. I usually order drinks such as the Rose Drink or the Watermelon Drink. As for the food, I usually order the Beef Rendang with Biryani or the noodles with chicken curry. I FREAKING LOVE THIS PLACE!

Asian restaurant with best service system.
Obviously there's always a line getting in here due to it's popularity, but this is sorted by providing tickets with numbers.
Although the restaurant is packed, each table has its own bell you press for service + we dont have to waste time telling them what we want, we look at the menu and write down the numbers on ordering paper provided.
This system helps with circulation, provides better quality of service, reduces number of workload for staff and to be honest the staff dont even need to speak to us.
On top of all this their food is always amazing, rich in flavour and portion aint so bad.
(Probably more pricey compared to other malay restaurants)
Ordering process is very efficient & food came out fast. The noodles tasted really good, but the egg was burnt slightly. The roti is only $9.90!! But tastes sooo good
But overall, all 3 dishes were amazing.
Came here for lunch on a weekend. Had to wait for about 25 minutes. But part from the wait, the experience was quite enjoyable. The food is reasonably priced and tastes good. However, I did notice the proportion of noodles/rice in their dishes is noticeably higher than meat. Apart from that, I loved their noodles. The curry laksa is my favourite. I also enjoyed their white coffee with coffee jelly. I would definitely return to this place.
Asam laksa ，too many water.
Wat tan hor, ok for me.
Pan mee soup, nice taste.
Other noodles not good.
Iced kacang, not enough red bean.
Watermelon juice look pale.
Tea C special, we ask don't put iced, they say can not ,only can do less iced.
We come 3 Mac 2018 again, my husband order pan mee, I order nasi lemak ,the chicken drum stick is too big, should be chop. Pappa Cham too bitter.
21 April 2018
Husband order papa fried rice noodles, only the noodles not his taste,
I order Pan mee soup , very good.
Very popular that we have to wait more than half an hour to get a seat. However, once seated the service was fast and efficient. Had the Pappa Special Nasi Goreng with fried chicken and I loved it. Been here a number of times and the quality of food never fails to deliver. Will definitely visit again but not during peak hours.
I got the curry chicken with roti and it was delicious. It was 15.50 which is reasonable for the quality. The watermelon juice was fresh and complemented the main well. The restaurant is clean and quite modern. :)
Hooray for better dining options at Sylvia Park! New Zealand is finally catching up to the impressive range of cafes and restaurants you’d find in shopping malls overseas, and Papparich is the kind of choice that everyone can enjoy. The store at Sylvia Park signifies its second branch in New Zealand.
Really enjoyed the food, ambience and the service quality. It was to the core, good food and authentic and fresh chicken and roti. I liked the system of bell which is something innovative.
Kuddos to all the team members and staff.
Thankyouuu Chef as well, Keep it up.
Regards,
Sagar Dani.
Went to celebrate a family occasion for lunch on a sunday. Huge Que, no bookings taken, hence be prepared to wait for 20 minutes+.
Staff are courteous, prompt and helpful. Food delicious, abundant, value for money and service is fast considering that the restaurant was super busy. The drinks and Entree arrived together as ordered, followed by mains. Great selection including for Vegetarians, our personal recommendation is the Laksha and the Vegetarian(mock meat or Chicken). All drinks were Fab, especially the Lychee Soda(must try).
Prices reasonable for the place between $17 & $19 for mains. Total Spend for 6 people with entree, mains and drinks was under $200.
Highly recommended, super satisfied, value for money. The menu is fancy with very high quality photos, depicting the dishes(mouth-watering)
Ahh Pappa Rich, I will always find a way back here for a meal. What I liked about this restaurant was how generous they were with their meal portions - although their other restaurants generally have good portions this one was that extra bit more. Service was efficient and everyone worked hard to get people seated. Although a full house, I didn’t have to wait long for my meal.
Great place overall. Liked nasi lemak and roti canai.Really delicious Malaysian dishes . Will definitively go again soon. Service is only so so, but the dishes offset that.
I walked in and I was served straight away to the table which was very good. And the food came out nice and hot, came in about 5-7 minutes so it was pretty fast, I was very happy. The waitress serving me was very nice and happy to bring me water and takeaway boxes.
I love Pappa Rich on Queen St! I wanted to see if the flavours were the same here.
This branch was bigger in comparison but it seemed quite crammed at the same time. To be honest I think the Queen St branch is a lot better. Just the flavours on the dish I normally order tasted better at the other branch. But it wasn't bad here. I'd definitely still come back for dinner!
First time here after reading all the reviews, food was good except the veggies are quite pricey and service was efficient too. Will definitely come back again soon.
Great vibes at a mall, not too long of a wait for a table as we were early. Pretty fast service and the food was really good too! Tried the nasi lemak, chicken laksa and the chicken rice. Nothing I can fault with, would be keen to come again to try other things.
This was my first try at Papa Rich. I was impressed at the layout of the business and even the friendly service. I ordered the Nasi goreng dish and Melon drink. Was very impressed at the taste and presentation. Highly recommended.
I've had mixed experiences with the city restaurant but I was still excited when our friends wanted to dine here as there are a lot of poor food options at Sylvia Park.
We were seated quickly and told how ordering works. The menus were confusing as some had "coming soon" stickers over some dishes while other menus didn't.
We managed to order without running into any difficulties. The food and drinks come out in a random order. Everyone was happy with their dishes but some pieces of the crispy chicken skin wasn't very crispy.
The prices are really reasonable and you get a lot of food. The restaurant is fitted out nicely so it does not feel like you are dining in a cheap restaurant. As we left there was a huge queue so luckily we were there early.
Always a fan of papparich..love their way of ordering things. Good menu selection and most of the dishes we have tried are delicious. Always busy on a weekend and dinner times but we find that service is prompt on most times.So glad they have opened an outlet in sylvia park.
A new branch of papa rich in Sylvia park. They seem have slightly different menu to the city branch, although you can still get the same staple Malaysian fair.
We went there for lunch, and the place was packed full of people. The service was a little slow, but it was still pretty good. We ordered the laksa, pan mee soup and the fried chicken skins, they were delicious! I still can’t get over their crispy chicken skin!! As usual their portions are very generous!
Great place when you crave for Malaysian food in Sylvia park.
Ive been wanting to go to Papparich for some time and finally went to the Sylvia Park one. I had ordered the roti canai with curry chicken, fried chicken skins and cans of root beer, all which we enjoyed and was delicious. The interior/seating was very nice and the staff was friendly. Would go again to try other items on the menu.
Food is very filling and served in decent portions. Drinks are amazing, the mango ones are the best! 10/10, I definitely recommend the mango drinks!
This is the franchise Malaysian restaurant straight from Malaysia so you know its authentic. But not as good as the Downtown one. You do get to eat. Few things you may not get in other Malaysian restaurant and does makes you feel like you are in Malaysia/Asia. Highly recommend, Fried Chicken Skin. Not healthy but super delicious.
Why on earth did it take us so long to get to PR. The food is tasty & fresh, the rest. is clean & bright & service friendly & efficient. We had the Roti Canal w. curry chicken & Biryani Rice w. red chicken & sambal Prawns. My only wish was for some more slices of cucumber. Another great & easy thing is they way you order. There's no pressure w. someone standing above you & heading back soon now we know where it is!
Food is good as all other papparich. Service was okay, we had to ask for water, paper towel and sometimes takes a long time for food to arrive. Great variety of drink choices and great for small to large groups.
I've been here a few times but i'm going to base this on my recent experience. The desserts are the bomb! Love, love, love!
Had the Lychee Glass Jelly, the Banana fritters and the Sago Pudding. Great desserts for Summer!
The staff were even so accommodating to let us have dessert (even after the kitchen had closed).
Reasonably new restaurant in Sylvia Park. Been a couple of times now and love the efficiency as well as the food.
Food is great quality with good sized portions delivered quickly. Queues literally out the door to get in so get in early.
We have been on a Malaysian cuisine ride for the last couple of weeks and ended up at PapaRich after finishing shopping at Sylvia Park.
The wait time of 20 minutes was not boring as we could window shop in that time. I love the smart ordering system here using a paper sheet and a buzzer to place your order.
Deciding from the menu is a difficult job as everything seems tasty and reasonable. The drinks selection is epic and you can’t ask for more variety. We had roti canal with chicken curry, veggie biriyani with some mutton like tasting (soya) chunks and a noodle dish with chicken curry.
Watermelon juice and the mango milkshake went really well with the food.
Despite the place being super busy we were served in time and the food was amazing. The staff were kind of rushing but that’s understandable when you have a queue of people waiting to find a seat.
Overall a great experience and we will be back here again. I found this outlet better than the one in the city.
Came here because of the rave reviews. Roti canai super good, curry portion size just a bit too small. Sesame ice cream is great. There is always a waiting line but will come back again
Next to movie and comes very handy. Large sitting space and very cosy. Food is great just like their other branch. Service is excellent which matters to me more than food at times. Would recommend
I've been to PappaRich Sylvia Park twice since its opening. The wait is a little long (about 30 minutes for the second time we went) but that is expected for new restaurants. The seating is quite cosy and nice. I ordered the chicken laksa the first time and I enjoyed it very much, I would recommend this. The second time I went, I tried the prawn mee and the taste of prawn was very strong in the soup, I enjoyed it. I would recommend this place but do go a bit earlier because there will be wait time.
First time at this Malaysian place, loved every aspect of it. Nice ambience, finger licking food, very quick service, less than 10 min of wait time for food. Highly recommended!
This will definitely be one of my regular go to places from now.
Damn this place is good!! Undoubtedly one of the best Malaysian cuisines I have tried. The ordering system is very efficient - I really like the idea of the buzzer thing. They do lose points for customer service. The waitresses always seem to be in a hurry, and they keep forgetting to get things that we ask for e.g. serviettes, water, etc. It's minor but still an annoyance.

I dined here out of curiosity as people were queued up outside to get seated. I came out satisfied and full right to the esophagus!
I tried their seafood laksa, one of my all-time fave dishes. The roasted eggplant was a surprise addition to this dish. I must say it worked wonders to improve the already flavorful soup.
My wife tried their Pappa Special nasi lemak with curry chicken and sambal prawns. She loved the generous portion of chicken rice and the mild spice of boneless chicken curry. She also thought that the salty anchovies were a great balancer to the taste of others on the dish.
We also had deep fried chicken skin on the side. Some pieces were a bit chewy, and I thought vinegar with chopped onions and pepper would have been a better dip to it rather than sweet chilli sauce.
The cold beverages were not too bad either.
Staff were okay. Some were more cheerful than others, but all were attentive to the customer needs.
Dining area is quite spacious. Ambience is good but I couldn't see a tad bit of Malaysian in its decor.
Price was leaning towards pricey. But for the great gustatory pleasure we had, it was worth every buck.
We enjoyed a good night here. Good ambience with an amazing choice of music. It feels like you are dining in a hotel- very clean and well maintains. High quality laksa. There's still a lot of "coming soon" on their menu, you will see that on every page. Hopefully they update the menu ASAP as we are keen to try most.
Food only took about 15mins, even though the place was packed. You have to write down your order, I guess that's how their system works but it is effective. Thanks for a good dine
This branch is pretty busy on weekends, so be prepared to wait for a table during lunch time.
Once you are ready to order you mark it on a piece of paper and ring the bell for wait staff to collect.
We ordered a range of dishes from the crispy chicken skin to nasi lemak and roti canai with beef rendang and chicken curry.
Food was good, I would like to try a noodle dish next time. The roti was a standout so light, fluffy and crispy on the outside.
If you are hard of hearing then this place might not be the best location to go as a group - the acoustics in there are terrible!

The meal was full of flavour, came out at a reasonable pace. Good selection of drinks. Since it's a new resturant, many of the dishes on the menu wasn't available. I was there especially for the satay chicken, but unfortunately they don't have it yet (although it is on the menu).
Beautiful Malaysian restaurant.i already been to city branch and wanted to try food in this branch.
Interior is dope. Seating area is big.furthermore,Customer service is friendly.
Chicken curry laksa is very delicious but I didn't like egg plant inside it.My friend love biryani with chicken leg & prawns.however,we had to ask for water.
[Suggestion :water should be given to customer as they arrive.]

A spontaneous decision to eat here after a long day at work turned out to be the best decision! We had the C02 Roti Canai and curry chicken with extra roti, raita and the PD02 Mango Mania (ice blended) and it was absolutely delicious. Hit the spot in every way, perfect level of spice, the roti was heavenly and the raita was beautiful. Washed down with the mango mania was the perfect end to a 10/10 meal. Fast service (great ordering system) and friendly accomodating staff! Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend.

My partner and I have been meaning to try Paparich for a while now, as we enjoyed both our experiences in Melbourne and Malaysia. Reminding us of our travels, there was the standard crowd of people hovering around the entrance. At 7pm on a Saturday night we expected a short wait for a table and were advised it would be about 20 minutes. Once seated we browsed through the menu, wrote down our dishes on the order sheet provided and pressed the buzzer. It’s a nice little system they have in place, and a waitress was already on her way to collect our order.
We ordered the Vegetarian Fried Mee hoon with curry mutton and egg, roti canai and the Fried Kuay Teow. Considering how busy the wait wasn’t too long for the food to arrive, however there could be improvement with the serving order/timing of the dishes. The Roti came out first then 10 minutes later the curry… then another short wait for the Fried Kuay Teow. We would have preferred everything together especially the curry and the roti as traditionally you’d want to eat these together. The curry was very good with heaps of flavour, it was a great meatless option and I’d recommend this dish for vegetarians. The Kuay Teow was smaller in size and less appealing than the curry. The dish was good and there was a nice subtle smoky flavour. It could have done with more protein or even vegies though, as there wasn’t a lot of tofu in the dish.
Papa rich is a nice casual spot that is worth checking out if your in the area. As it's local to us we'll be sure to visit again soon!
Enjoyed this restaurant more than the original location in the city. Food seemed nicer & the restaurant clean, fresh & new.
Service was okay, quite efficient. Our food was brought out promptly & was made really well.
Only disappointment was that they were out of drinks like Coke, & weren't yet offering a number of dishes such as the satay & some of the vegetables etc... not sure why.
Will definitely visit again soon
Love their decor and food was delicious and quick! Ordered their wat tan hor, chicken rice and milo dinosaur. Gravy in wat tan hor was tasty, chicken rice was yum, they fulfilled my request of removing the skin, which was a big plus, and milo dinosaur was heavenly. I did not know why the milo tasted so much better than the one sold in supermarket :) Service was quick and attentive and we left feeling full and happy.
Nice and yum food, service needs to improve, no smile, not friendly, food is really good. Ordered curry chicken with Nann, and redang beef, haven't finished. Recommended, but please improve your service, I can understand you are really busy.
Lalalalalove paparich. Their slushies are the best and the chicken fried skin. I know that's not so healthy but it is a must have. Always get the chicken with the prawns because that's the best for my taste buds. Saw that they're getting BBQs in their menu soon and I'm excited for that.
Update: I went here for dinner last night after the movie. It was good because we didn’t have to wait long and got seated straight away. The food is good as always. Brought my date here and it was his first time trying it and he really enjoyed it. We both felt really full after and the food is so yum! Plus the drinks are so good. I got the Lychee with Mango shake. It was great.
I went there few time in last 3 month, chicken legs, beef curry and milk tea really nice, but may too slow for lunch time people, maybe try dinner next time
They have a good customer service despite waiting for the table and pressing the buzzer 2-3 times before any staff come to you. That being said the atmosphere is wonderful. Their food is of high quality.
they serve nice food here but are super busy here so service was abit slack but understandable for how busy they were. they also have a good variety on the menu. will be back to try more!!!!
I cannot tell you how happy I am with the service here! Thank you to our lovely waitress Leo and all the friendly staff. After reading some negative views from other foodies about the bad customer service, I had to go see for myself, I was expecting the worst, but to my surprise, everyone was lovely and the food was reaaalllyyy great. To top of all off, me and my partner were vegetarian and their mock meat was amazing! Their fried banana was definitely really yummm and their mango drink made my night. Amazing atmosphere, staff and food. I can't fault this. PRO TIP: Go on a Tuesday night! Not too busy so NO WAITING TIME. We sat down in literally 45 seconds from entering the door!!! Thanks Leo!!!!
Awesome service and best food. Went at a very busy time but got looked after straight away without any delay. Very professional service and pure international standard. Plenty of staff and service with a smile. Food takes you to south east Asia and absolutely best taste with no compromise in quality. Well done and welcome to NZ
notice a crowd of diners outside a restaurant
call PapaRich and as we had tea elsewhere we decided to drop by for some dessert after the movie. I had the sago pudding which was sweet as, my other diners had the ice lime cocktail n egg sago.
Nicely presented menu too, a lot of dishes had a tag saying coming soon, maybe sold out? gonna havta try their mains later. Starting to notice a lot of Malaysian eateries opening up too. Nice brite ambience, staff and ordering system in place too, so u have all the time in the world to decide.
Anyone knows what the site use to be before?
I really enjoyed the service here. Staff were friendly and professional. The modern design is really nice aswell and you can see why it gets so busy here. The only thing that let it down for me was that the food was quite bland. I had the char kiew tau and it didn't have any flavour or spices at all. It seems like Pappa Rich is really catering to the kiwi market but seems to be losing the authentic flavours. I did have a Rose flavour Soy milk drink and that tasted devine. It would be great if they had a selection of milk tea flavours!

I was glad to find that PappaRich had opened a new branch at Sylvia Park as I was craving a Laksa. I have tried their branches at Sky City Metro & Langkawi, Malaysia & enjoyed the service & food at each of them. I visited the restaurant on a Friday & it was full with a shot queue waiting. They need more seating for those waiting. They also need more space for parking prams. They had at least six prams in the waiting area. I was seated within 15 minutes. I promptly ordered the curry chicken laksa $16.50 & deep fried chicken skin $9.90 & coke $4.90. The deep fried chicken skin arrived promptly and enough for 2 to share, however they don't serve enough sauce with it. The coke then arrived (330ml bottle). I have to say $4.90 is way too expensive. The laksa then arrived shortly thereafter. Their laksa differs from others in that it includes egg plant instead of the usual hard boiled egg. As usual the laksa didn't disappoint but the price is more expensive than offered by its competitors. The service was fine & the ambiance is consistent with the other branches. Finally, parking is a breeze as it's in the mall.
It was an underwhelming experience after waiting 15mins in a cramped waiting area to be seated. I had a crispy noodle dish and I say to you... where are the toppings??
Love it. The Nasi Lemak was delicious and great Malaysian food. Fried chicken skin also highly recommended. We went for an early lunch so service was fast and great.
It was an enjoyable experience trying out Paparich, as I dont have to travel as far now. the atmosphere, service and food was great. i ordered the vegetarian sweet and sour chicken and cold teh tarik, which were both really delicious. only complaint was that there was too much onion (at least half an onion minimum) in my dish. but other than that, me and my friend both had a great time having lunch there
It was yummy food and drinks! The order system lil odd and big sections of menu not available yet which is annoying! As would've liked to try some of the other dishes as so much variety. Can't wait to try more drinks n snacks

So glad another branch has opened here in Auckland!
Dined here for lunch and there was a long wait, be prepared! A very popular restaurant and sampling the food here I can definitely see why it's so busy!
We waited for roughly half an hour for a table for 4, staff were attentive despite being rushed off their feet. The restaurant is spacious and beautiful decorated.
We ordered a milk dinosaur and coconut smoothie for drinks.
Steamed buns with kaya and butter, the buns were soft and fluffy and went so deliciously well with the kaya and butter.
Ipoh koay teow soup with prawns and chicken slices has a beautiful broth that was a heavenly blend of prawns head and chicken. Really unique, highly recommend! The Wan tan hor was really good as well, these three dishes were definitely the highlights!
The Hainanese steamed chicken with noodles was okay, noodles were a little bland for me. And the Tandori roti was made well but a small portion in comparison to the other dishes. . For the same price to the other dishes . . I'd expect a little more.
But other than that, overall the food is really good! For a busy restaurant you'd worry that they'd push out food too quickly and fall flat in quality but pleasantly surprised! Definitely will be back for more and I must say I prefer this branch much more than the CBD.

Okay okay I'm just like all the other sheep. I came to Silvia Park just try out Papa Rich. It's good that it is on the same floor as the movie theatre and the toy shop. I can park in the multi-story car park and walk around on the 1st floor without getting caught in the foot traffic at ground level or getting wet in the uncovered parking areas. Papa riches is venue is fresh, sharp and cool looking, a bit like Garrison's but with no outside seating, loud music or alcohol? The staff here were pretty enthusiastic and keen to put on a good show. Well done on this and keep it up. We did have to wait 15mins but that was okay. It gave me time to check out what was on at the movies while my entourage waited in line at Papa'sI had the Nasi Lemak curry chicken. This is one of my baselines for comparing Malaysian restaurants. It was boneless chicken with good flavor and decent portions. along with the sambal, peanuts and anchovies. Wifey had the Assam Laksa, which she rated highly, Slavegirl went with the banana split. she enjoyed hers but would have liked the rotten bits of banana cut out.The food we had was very good and seeing the dishes coming out and taken to other tables was very seductive. Most people saw seemed to be enjoying their meals and it was nice to see part of the Muslim community relaxed, laughing,chatting and enjoying a slice of their traditional foods in Auckland..
Been wanting to try the Sylvia Park branch since it opened. Just as good as the Queen Street branch and love the location.
Very busy at 6-7.30pm so joined the queue, given a raffle ticket and waited about 15 min for a table for 2. Open set up, casual dining, comfortable seats.
Got the Ipoh Kaoy Teow soup with chicken and prawn Noodles. Lucky to have the pictures in menu otherwise would not have had a clue what to choose: Soup is similar to Hansan SO2 with more fried shallot/garlic and a bit thicker where u can taste the prawnhead stock. Good size serving of noodles and tasty (possibly has MSG). Wish the chicken skins came in a small size option as a side as my friend and I decided not to order between is on top our mains.
Ordered the lycee soda and found it yummy but too sweet and ended up diluting with 1/3 cup water as quite syrupy.
Items are expensive in comparison to similar Malaysian/Singaporean restaurants.
PappaRich has newly opened a restaurant beside the movie theatre, on level one overlooking the courtyard area.
Like the other place it was busy so we did have to wait a bit before getting a table. The menu is slightly different but the main options looked similar like the wat tan hor and char kwei tieu. They also have a few different drinks like the coconut shake.
Ordering is the same where you write your options on the order slip and pass it to the staff.
The food is as good as the city one. However when we went, my brothers meal took 30 minutes longer then everyone elses. Once they noticed we were missing a meal they did rush to get it out and we did get a discount at the end. Otherwise everything was quite good.
Disclosure: Invited to the Media Launch of Papparich Sylvia Park to sample these dishes for honest review. Papparich is affordable and has a few dishes that it does particularly well. I especially recommend their crispy noodles and fried chicken skins. For more, read the full review on my blog.
Delicious food and exceptional service despite a full house. Friendly staff who were able to help with the menu and pick out their favourite Malaysian dishes!
Packed of people, had to wait for more than 30 minutes just to get the seat. We came as a group of 12 people. My friend complaint on how they arranged the seat queue. Did order the mantau with kaya, paparich fried noodle (the only noodle that close enough to mamak style noodle) and red bean blended. All nice and tasty. New outlet, large resto, upstairs. Recommended.
Omg so good! Excellent food, staff and venue! Didn't have to wait for a table which was lucky as newly opened and very busy. We could see though that those that had to wait were seated quickly. Menu very descriptive with photos. All vegetarian items easy to find. Loved ordering system with bell. Food came quickly and was hot. Food was AMAZING. Such an awesome place.
Beautiful interior, beautiful atmosphere and great service. The system this place uses to take orders is really efficient..i like the fact that you can use the button to buzz when you've written what you want on the card provided.
The food here is average, nothing great. Maybe because I ordered wrong things though. The crispy chicken skin however is to die for ! I definitely reccomened it. So delicious
Will visit this place again to try out some more of their dishes.
I actually like the interiors and location of this newly opened restaurant at Sylvia Park. We dined in yesterday just before the ques started to build up. Busy busy atmosphere and I like the idea of writing down orders and pushing a button to order.
I ordered seafood laksa and it is a good serving. Like the taste and spiciness of it and my friend ordered the Tandoori Chicken with rice. So they ran out of Coke or Sprite? Odd for a restaurant not to have the fizzies. As it is my first time, I would love to come back to try their milk teas and noodles next time...must try at Sylvia.
Efficient service, chicken was moist and tender, decent amount of rice to go around. My children devoured the roti. Tables were clean, bathrooms were maintained. Would come here again.
This place definitely lives up to the hype. Went here for the first time, for dinner, and felt like I was back in Malaysia. The food came out promptly and tasted amazing. This place will be one of my go to restaurants from now on.

After not having the best experience at the Queen Street franchise, I did not think I would try this place again. However the newly opened branch in Sylvia Park looked so flashy and clean, that we decided to give it another go.
Came here with a big group of 9 people. Despite the place being full already, they were able to put together a table for us in a short amount of time, which we were grateful for :)
Everything on the menu looked mouthwatering. Also came with clear pictures which made it easier to make decisions if you are not familiar with Malaysian food. I liked their ordering system - where you write down what you would like, and press the button for the waiter when you are ready. Very fun and efficient.
Food came promptly. The drinks were not only beautiful but also very tasty! I enjoyed my red bean milk shake, and husband could not stop raving about his sesame milk shake (which came with a big scoop of sesame ice cream). Other friends had the mango mania, rose water......which they were all happy with. The fried chicken skin with sweet chilli sauce was also a crowd pleaser.
For mains I had the chicken curry with sambal prawns. It was delicious, with a nice heat to it. It was the perfect combination with the creamy flavours of the coconut rice. One of my friend who grew up in Malaysia also said the noodles were good. The serving sizes were huge that a few of us had to take away for lunch the next day :p
The staffs were well-trained, which was impressive considering that the place only just opened. The only disappointing thing was that a lot of the items we wanted to order were still unavailable :(
All in all we had a great experience here, and would totally come back again with friends.
I love all the food and drink I tried today, just except Deep Fried Chicken Skin :( The chicken skin was toooooo salty :( but overall, good food, great service, excellent eating atmosphere. I will definitely go back there try something different.

Great atmosphere, quite nice interior design and location is good. Service was average, a few seemed like they had no idea what they were doing and one asked to clear my plate when there was still quite a bit of food and I clearly hadn't finished. They all spoke quite fob English.
I ordered a chicken rice which came with bean sprouts and a soup. The chicken was really really tender and delicious and the rice had a really nice flavour to it (not sure how to describe it but it wasn't bland like at most Asian restaurants). The soup/broth was also quite nice and thankfully it was hot enough (the worst thing is drinking lukewarm soup)! I also got to try the curry chicken roti which was also quite nice but there was nothing much special about it.
Overall great place, great food, the service isn't terrible but don't expect too much of them, the only thing is that it's a little bit expensive, although it is quite filling. I would definitely recommend going at least once and I probably will be going back.
Great portions and delicious!! Both dry and soup noodles we had were flavorful, bring your own containers to take the left over if you’re not a big eater. The milk tea was nice as well, not too sweet and strong tea flavor as how I like it.

Nice restaurant and yummy food, but milo dinosaur was not quite sweet in nz. Furthermore, if you’d like to wrap up the leftovers, it will charge 0.5 for the box.
We had great meals.
Very well customer service.
Foods are great as usual.
I absolutely enjoyed Dinner at Papa Rich this evening. I would highly recommend trying the Sesame Chicken (R08). It was succulent, saucy and full of goodness. The N04 was delightfully smokey, the prawns were lovely and the flat noodles flavoured extremely well. I would also recommend any of their drinks as they have all been balanced and tasty.
The Chicken curry noodles never disappoints, it's always good! Ordered the Mee Goreng and Beef Wat Dan Hor as well. Good size portions, but the prices have really gone up since I last came. The Dim Sums have 3x choices, but you can get proper Yum Cha elsewhere. Good drinks and dessert options, clean and tidy atmosphere
Been here a few times, all good! Taste good, and large portions
There's a lot of people eating in this place you may need a reservation but was lucky enough to get one when we were there.
The staff are freindly and helpful and the location is nice.
Food was fantastic. The serving was quite big and flavourful.
Food is good and priced reasonably for the location. Quantity served is good. Restaurant is clean, comfortable and well presented. Customer service is good and staff members are friendly. I was not very happy with a surcharge being charged for paywave and credit card transactions. Overall, a decent place to enjoy some authentic Malaysian cuisine with friends and family.
Other than the fact that food is more pricey, it’s very delicious and good portion. Service is good. Very spacious between tables, good atmosphere, will definitely come again. Highly recommended
The store is always busy. Food is nice. Steam chicken was okay. Staff is helpful. Price is affordable. Their tea is strong. They have discounts for student with student ID.
Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Food was good. Waiter seemed to be new and could not identify the different dishes.
Desserts were great too. The plate our caramel dessert was served on was chipped.
Food was nice though..menu has a variety.
First time I had PappaRich was in Wellington. I loved it. I was blown away by the service and the authenticity of the food. Auckland is no exception and I love the location, next to the movie theatre. Eat, drink and movie. Perfect night all metres from each other.
Situated upstairs away from the main drag makes it a nice quite location from the riff-raff! It’s surrounded by nice big windows making it bright and cheerful. Just like most of the staff.
Service is quick even at peak times. Food is delicious and most dishes generous in portion. There were some, ones served with roti, that left me feeling ripped-off and a little hungry. Maybe they should charge less for it, like my portion... less!
Overall I would go back and try them all... maybe not the small portion dishes.
