Great tasting bao at really affordable prices. Very convenient location as well just at the Takaluna strip. Will definitely visit again.
Great food and lovely service
Staff were super friendly and attentive, food was yum. Slightly bigger portion sizes would have been perfect
Went here for a casual date night with Gold. Service was great, the server very nicely offered to substitute broccoli for the bok choy in my wonton more soup. Although I found the broth in my soup way too salty, my other half loved his chicken wings and cheese bao -urger. We’ll definitely be back to try more on the menu. Loved that there are heaters at the outside tables too!
Cannot complain about the quality and taste of the food, they know how to make good food!! They also have very friendly and polite staff. Very good service.
However the portion compared to the price that you pay is not worth what you get. After getting two items and a drink off the menu resulting to over $30 just for myself, I was still quite hungry.
Came here for a spontaneous dinner as we had seen it on Zomato Gold.
The booths were all reserved but the entire time we were there only one of them was occupied. The waitress was quite friendly and helpful with ordering.
The food has smaller portion sizes and so is a little expensive for the size.
We got the fried chicken – which was a tad dry. But I absolutely loved the cheese burger bao – it was really creative and executed quite well.
Came here for lunch. Food and service was great! The pork belly bao and chips with truffle mayo is a must! A little pricey but definitely worth coming.
We came here with Zomato Gold and ordered a Cheese Bao-ger, The Prawnbroker, and Clucking Good.
The baoger was amazing, the beef was juicy and full of beautiful flavours, while the bun was perfectly soft and fluffy. The prawns initially were delicious but got a bit salty and oily towards the end, so it was a bit sickening and heavy to eat. The outside layer of the fried chicken had a great flavour but the inside was incredible dry and not so pleasant to eat.
Decor was nice and relaxing, friendly service too.
Very nice bun with deep fried prawns. The shredded pork money bags with pineapple chili sauce are yummy! The portion size is rather small, making a bit more costly to dine in.
Staff was great. Decoration is good. We got fried chicken and a popcorn shrimp bao. The chicken was a bit salty and overcooked. The bao was nice. Overall was good.
Food : 4.5
Atmosphere : 4
Service : 5
There’s a reason why this place is rated high. The trinity of food, atmosphere and service is juuuust right. Being an Asian myself, I used to think Asian fusion was a lie and didn’t believe in it, but now I think Asian fusion is another cuisine and a culture.
The food was very tasty and the service was great. Warm wonton soup and a couple of baos can never go wrong after a long, cold day 😛
Good asian fusion destination. Their eclectic range of options in food texture made this especially interesting for me. The place also has a variety of shakes amd drinks that are quite distinct in both flavour and contents from most other asian places.
Really nice ambience. Food was also great, tried the great white fish bao and the fish was really soft in the inside and crunchy on the outside! This was my favourite. The beef patty was however on a rather bland side, would be better with more herbs/ seasoning. Overall, id come back to try more - definitely worth it especially with zomato gold
The booths here are awesome and the atmosphere is quite chill. I had the Belly Bao which didn’t blow me away but it certainly was tasty! The presentation of the food is rather nice too.
Was quite busy when we arrived so there were no tables so had to sit on the side bench which was a bit uncomfortable. Service was great as they were apologetic for being busy.
Food was absolutely delicious!!! The Bao buns were so soft, chicken was perfectly cooked and pork was really crispy. Will definitely go back for round 2s because the food was just so so amazing!!
Delicious food and drinks (pork belly bao, boneless fried chicken and frozen margaritas), gorgeous decor and great service. Only fault would be the small portion sizes for the price.
I tried the Newmarket branch and loved it. So I tried Takapuna this time. Cosy and nice place. Staff was friendly. My daughter loved her first try Bao. Bread is soft, and the meat is big enough. Fried chicken is ok but nothing special. Similar taste as KFC... I'll be back with my friends next time so I can try some more foods.
I’m not a fan of Bao so this visit I didn’t order any. We just had spicy Korean fried chicken. They were not spicy but they were delicious though. Pork belly with vermicelli salad - I like super crispy pork belly but the salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. A bit more chilli and sour would make it better because the hoisin sauce is sweet already. Food came out really quickly. Service was good and the place is clean and tidy.
Popped in for lunch to Tucks & Bao yesterday and my friend & I both got the 'bok bok bao bun' which was so yum and I love how it was served with lettuce cause it made it nice and fresh. We also got the edamame beans to share and they had chilli salt on top and they were so good. The service was lovely aswell and all the food came out fairly quickly. Will definitely come back !! Totally recommend :))
Damn Tucks And Bao was bloody good. Came here yesterday with my mate and we both got the Bok Bok bao which was so so so tasty!! It had chicken, lettuce, coriander, onion and some white sauce which made it tasty asf. We also got some edamame beans to share which had chilli rock salt sprinkled over them which was a good touch because it just made then beans even tastier. Our waitress was super friendly and chatty and the restaurant itself was done really well, was super cute. Defiently will go back!! x
Such a cute little place with friendly staff, delicious food and great prices! We got a bao each - crispy fu and bok bok, and the samurai soy gyoza. The froses were also yum!
Really good food and great service! Atmosphere was nice but limited seating. Recommend for a bite to eat, not so much for a meal. Food was nice and fresh, definitely will come again!
belly bao ran out so we ordered bao boy and low&slow which we enjoyed a lot. the shrimps in bao boy was cooked perfectly. low & slow is but sweet. The service was friendly and we would definitely come again to try other baos.
Yummy Bao and chips but my pulled pork bao got really soggy towards the end, however, my sisters fried chicken bun was good. Reasonable prices especially with Zomato gold!
Great service, yummy food. Awesome friendly waitress, very quick turnaround for our order. The Crispy Chicken Bao, prawnbroker were amazing.
I really enjoyed my meal the chicken wings were so good and crispy sweet with a lil spice and the burger was so good fresh bun I did enjoy the chips but I have had better and they were a bit over priced.
Love the food and staff was awesome . That cheeseburger and wings though was just delicious ✌. Cant wait to go back . I recommend this place to anyone who loves burgers fries and hot wings 😀
First time here and was a busy Saturday night so service was a little slow at the start but the friendly staff definitely made up for it. We got the Belly bao, the Cheese bao-ger and the Wings of Fire and all were delicious! If you don’t like coriander, you might want to ask to remove it from the Belly bao but I loved it. Highly recommend, especially with the Zomato Gold available ✨
Chicken Bao was delicious, wish it were bigger!, a little more chicken would have been nice but it was really tasty. I'd go again definately. Service was nice too.
Had a good lunch experience.. foods were delicious ❤ i love the pork belly thinly sliced and crispy 😀 will definitely come back! Oh and the gold zomato deals are fantastic!
Cheap place to get some tasty baos. Nothing to innovative or unique but its all done well. And for the price a good place to go. The sides arnt bad either but again decently made but nothing to different
Last monday i went tucks and bao in takapuna branch with my friends. It was my first visit and i really impressed from the ambiance and specially food. We ordered onions rings, belly bao, gangnam slaw with chicken and miss piggy, and we really got quick service. The belly was so crispy from outside and juicy from inside marinated in the amazing sauce and so much filling also the onion rings were really amazing and delicious, i never had this much good onion rings earlier, Gangnam slaw was so juicy and chicken was really juicy. I personally thanked to the chef and friendly staff. I will come again and recommend to my friends as well.
Great decor, location, style and service. The food itself was tasty, well presented and portioned. We had the meal with two baos and two tucks. Cheesy chips with pork belly was my favourite. Definitely will return...
Delicious GF onion rings and pulled pork loaded chips. The pork belly bao was tasty but nothing special, especially for the price ($9), and the food service was slow - although the waitress was friendly and helpful and I got the impression it might not be the norm for it to be slow.
It was quite busy when we came here during an evening. But managed to get a table. The food was so delicious here! I think my favourite was the bao that I had. The chicken was boneless and also so tender. Also I found that the bathroom were clean and restaurant was generally quite clean too. For us, the utensils were clean and never ran out of napkins.
Really enjoyable meal. Friendly prompt service. Food is very tasty. Had the pork belly bao, tofu bao, prawn bao, money bags and the wok this way (chicken & vege noodle dish).
Enjoyed every single dish, the prawn bao had some nice spice to it. Washed it all down with a mojito cocktail which had a strong taste of rum to it which was great. Looking forward to going back again!
First time visiting this lovely little restaurant, the food we ordered were very delicious and hit my personal perfect ratio of a filling portion.
The Bao was extremely savoury and just melted in my mouth with every bite. Wontons were also delicious (don’t forget to blow)
Last but not least, the fried prawn with sauce! Ate it last after the Bao and wontons and definitely contributed to fulfilling our appetite.
Thank you to the friendly staff who served my partner and I~ will definitely return the next time we travel to takapuna 😋
very friendly service, but the food was average and every dish we ordered is salty, too salty!
Good food for a very reasonable price! Not too much, but also not too little. Got chicken and pork bao, wontons and deep fried shrimp. The wontons were by far the best of the four, but all were very tasty!
Food was decent and fairly priced. Interior decor was fine but could be more comfortable. The service was pretty friendly.
Its was a tasty lunch time meal! Great prices and services
Service was quick and pleasant. Menu explained and we ordered. Food came quick and it was very tasty and enjoyed by all. Pork belly and Prawns were good. Good portions sizes for the price. Happy.
Not only was Tucks and Bao the most amazing experience I've had in a while, But also the food was amazing 10/10, the staff made me feel like so welcomed, and their Bao is to die for. The girl at the counter was great at serving us and the food was quick to come to the table fresh out the kitchen. I will definitely be going there again and i recommend this place for anyone who enjoys good food and a good chat and a happy belly.
I went there on the night of the 17th March around 8:30pm after a long day at work. Their kitchen was closed but their staff decided to feed a poor construction worker after a whole day on site.
I love their loaded fries, but after Newmarket branch change their recipe I was a bit unsure.
I explained the all thing to him and he prepared the best loaded fries ever!!! It was so yummy and customer service was great!!
Truly recommend everybody to try it!!!
Well done for having great workers and great food 🤩😋
Dellicious, fresh and tasty food sure to please a range of tastes. Warm, friendly service and a great variety of drinks. Handy location half way down Hurstmere and not far from the movies. Great place to gather with friends. Will definitely be back :)
