Reviews of 鼎點168（Gusto）

T. N.

Big portion per dish, valuable price for the pocket.

L. J.

Excellent customer service, inviting and helpful, even helped my Mum download a widget for her vaccine pass!! Beautiful authentic food full of flavour and large portions for very reasonable price!! Best meal out in Wanaka of the four places we tried, by far! Highly recommend :)

D. P.

Beautiful authentic chinese food. Great portions and service. We did take away mostly as we had a few people in our group and 4 little ones.

V. W.

Very tasty Chinese food! All the dishes are amazing 🤩 If you want to have some original Chinese food in Wanaka, it would be a great choice 😆

盛.

Didn’t expect the only Chinese restaurant in town is rather authentic. Good food, big portion, friendly staff. Recommend.

Love this place. It's a small, laid back spot. The man who took our order was so pleasant and helpful - all smiles and funny. His service was fast and efficient. The pastries are very good and breakfast was well prepared and tasty. I love the "coffee in a bowl" (extra large) coffee. The coffee service here is the best we've had in our NZ travels. Prices are reasonable, portions are large, and there is free wifi. Outdoor seating had fleece blankets in the winter - a nice touch.

M. M.

The food here was excellent although a little on the small side. The waitress was over attentive and may as well sat at our table

K. A.

Usually I don't rate 5*. But the food was good 4*, and the service very good 5*. The thing is, we felt very welcomed in this place. The nanny was so nice... We really enjoyed the food and the moment. And the quantities was large 👍🏽 So... 5*

E. S. F.

Authentic Chinese food with really good "wok hei" (fragrance of the wok). It's a small cozy place that also serve fresh juices. The wok fried lamb is quite good. Will recommend the fried noodles/vermicelli as well. Servings for main dishes are good for 2 to 3 person.

S. H.

Awsum friendly staff. Great if you have children as well. The food was amazing. A little more expensive than I'm used to for Chinese, but worth the extra. Will be going back

H. Y.

Very good food with nice service. Slow service since the new year's and everyone is in town, but the food is worth waiting. 🥰

K. B.

Got a takeaway, enjoyed a beer while waiting which was way quicker than what they said and by the time I got home it was still piping hot and delicious!!! Biggest takeaway container ever 😊

A. H.

This dinner was exceptional. The service was fabulous and the food was extremely tasty. Highly recommend

L. J.

Another great find in Wanaka! Tucked away on a corner site that you might struggle to find a close carpark but worth the walk. A few tables inside with alcohol available. We ordered several dishes and the portion sizes were bigger than expected. Quality of each dish was fantastic and each one delivered on taste. We noticed a family of 5 adults and 4 children had buffet styled meal on their table which looked amazing. We had a pot of green tea to wash our meal down which was refreshing. It was very busy with take a way orders as well being made or collected but our food came out with no long wait time in between courses. Over indulged but it was worth it. Peking Duck is available but you have to call prior for them to prepare it.

W. C.

Good portion and friendly service. Taste is good too. We enjoyed the dinner there.

K. B.

Great service, great value for money and great taste!

p. n.

very very good food and very fast service and lovely customer service, definitely recommend ! :)

K. L.

Lovely atmosphere, amazing staff, family run business and they do amazing! Great service and the food is delicious! Wait time is not long at all. The fried squid is the best I’ve ever had. If I am ever back in Wanaka Gusto will be my first stop, I would love to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed.

R. S. s.

Nice cafe. Food was ok. Could improve on the presentation though.

R. “. P.

We went here because our son was craving some fried rice, and they really delivered with some other dishes such as stir-fried mixed veges and Szechuan-style chicken. The veges were fresh and coming from Southeast Asia, the spiciness level was just right for us. Would return and recommend.

G. P.

Oh my gosh, such nice hosts and the meals are very very generous. So good

R. H.

Nice cafe looking restaurant, price is ok, sweet sour chicken and roasted duck are the great, but don't try their sichuan style spicy dish, below average.

T. D.

Staff were lovely and very informative. Chili Sichuan beef was incredible. all food delicious. Great experience

e. o.

Customer service was 👌🏽 The ladies were very accomodating and hospitable, as we had to sit outside (during the rain) and they took care of our large group very well. Honest about wait times and food came out shortly after 20mins. Food was hot, decently portioned and TASTY. Sweet and Sour pork was moist and dumplings were delicious. Will 100% be returning on our next visit.

S. R.

Good service been there a few times since covid. Very obliging staff and good meals. We each ordered a different one then shared. They need to have a better selection of wine by the glass instead of having to buy a bottle. Very clean and they also have take away meals if that is what you want.

S. N.

Lovely service and great Chinese food. We had the fried rice noodles with vegetables and the crispy fried chicken. Highly recommend it particularly with the easy access to the lake and excellent views of the mountains.

R. v. d. B.

The restaurant is fairly small. Our group had 6 adults and 2 children (4 and 5 years old). Mixed Chinese and European descent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We all were very happy with the food on offer. Recommended.

R. B.

Brilliant, great food, good service and very clean.

M. B. L.

I like the fact that they r actually closing at 3pm but still served us when we arrived around 2.50pm. Delicious food.

H. N.

We had an excellent meal here- the restaurant staff are very helpful and gave us great service, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend! Definitely coming back

M. N.

They accommodated us outside of normal trading hours and with kids, yet they managed great tasty meals and lovely friendly staff to deal with. Highly recommended and will go there again when in Wanaka for winter.

E. A. K.

The restaurant is a very cosy and calm place, the staff is very friendly and they have a wide range of options, look for the menu on photos. I ordered the Chicken and sweet corn soup. It was better than what I expected and the first time I tried Chinese soup. This is the perfect example of "comfort food". Wanaka is a very cool place full of cafes, restaurants and pubs. If you want to avoid that, this is an excellent option.

M. W.

Amazing food, amazing staff - very hospitable when everywhere else in town was closed after quiz night. Highly recommend 👌

M. B.

Our basketball team went here for breakup, everyone loved their meals & the service was second to none. Large portions and really good quality. Highly, highly recommend.

J. A.

Beautiful food and lovely staff. We came at a busy time and they managed to fit us in, just had to wait half an hr. Nice authentic chinese. For those complaining about dishes not coming out at once, this is the way Chinese food is served and is best or order 3 or 4 dishes and share altogether. Would recommend it.

K. G.

Tasty and fresh food. Best chicken and sweet corn soup we have had. Tasty satay chicken and generous serving. We ate two nights in a row and were impressed with the welcoming, friendly service from Kiky. All the best with your studies!

M. L.

Food dishes are excellent & fast service too

A. M.

Best coffee I've had in NZ so far, but the standard is pretty low lol. But solid, full bodied flat white with a nice flavour of you like the darker less acidic coffee bean. could've been a touch hotter, but I'm just being picky. Could've easily ordered another one. Food $12 menu looked good too. Great work team

R. H.

For the last twelve months I have been eating at Gusto Chinese Restaurant along with several friends and the service and staff are excellent and the food is by far the best we have experienced. We go on a regular basis and have no hesitation in recommending this establishment to all Chinese food lovers,

W. P.

We had a late lunch 3.30pm after playing golf in Wanaka. My seafood chowder was wonderful and full of fresh juicy seafood. My wife's Pasta Bolognese was also excellent. Staff were very friendly and the coffees and hot chocolate perfect. Highly recommended.

C. E.

Fantastic service and delicious food! We had the vegetable noodle soup and sweet and sour pork and would recommend both 100%. Thanks!

S. S.

Very delicious food and friendly staff :) Thank you so much !! Restuarant is very neat and clean too. Great job

J. W.

Friendly cheerful staff, and nice food well cooked. Tender meat and slightly chewy noodles, perfect. Thanks

A. A.

Excellent food at a reasonable price. The service was excellent - friendly and efficient. We ate here twice - once to sit in and again as a takeaway.

A. K.

Very good quality and authentic food, my personal favorite is the chicken fried rice + sweet and sour chicken for i think $44

Very good Chinese restaurant. I can recommend their customer service and dishes are great. Tried some food off the menu and they were really good for the price. When we are in Wanaka be sure not to miss this place.

D. C.

Great Coffee, from Ozone roasters is amazing. The food portions are small. We ordered the Gusto 2.0 salad and it was very small, for $17.50. It was just vermicelli noodles and chicken. It tasted great but please, just a little more!

J. W.

Delicious food and good serving size. Could do with some more vegetables and less meat in the black bean beef recipe but still very tasty.

M. M.

Really nice food, super good relationship between price and qualify. The service was super nice as well

A. S.

Had brunch twice now at Cafe Gusto while vacationing at Lake Wanaka. OMG! Had to slow myself down. Had the Bacon & Egg Bun with Hollandaise sauce, both visits. A spin on eggs Benedict at half the price. Probably a gazillion calories, but worth every bite! Friendly service. They also have coffee, beer and wine. Fresh juices. Good variety and prices for the area.

A. N.

Very friendly staff ! Lovely food and right by the lake. We had the vege fried noodles and the spring rolls. Really enjoyed it.

C. B.

Great meal and great service. The pork belly was the best we ever tasted.

L. K.

Exceptional food and service. Huge tasty portions. Great wine list. Very reasonable prices. Will definitely again.

F. M.

Better than most Chinese restaurant in Sydney !!!

A. H.

Best Kung Pao chicken I've ever had. Been back again and again and the food is always quality . Bit expensive but worth it for the taste and size

K. T.

Lovely authentic Chinese cuisine. Great hosting, and extra effort given to making customers feel looked after.

Absolute joke. Was waiting for Ashton kutcher to jump out and say punked. I have never waited so long in my life. If you want a feed try order it 3 days in advance. Too be fair food was good when it arrived

D. A.

Great cafe for a digital nomad. Free wifi and power outlet. The coffee and food is really good and average price for the area. The staff is really friendly and attentive.

F. J.

Loved the food and the service. The price is fair for the amount of food. The have a long menu that please all lovers of Chinese food.

L. A.

Wontons were incredible (can I get an AMEN). Wonton soup, fried noodles, corn soup, and fried rice were all delicious too.

R. J.

Great food and prompt service. We especially liked the hot and spicey chicken entree. Was very yummy.

J. L.

Great lunch, had the Bowl of Goodness and the gusto salad with falafel and both were great. Great coffee and good services (clean bathroom and free WiFi).

B. Q.

Definitely should try out this place. It doenst look very standout from the street and the menu is filled with typical Cafe food, but everything has a little extra twist. Price is very reasonable too.

L. C.

Amazing Chinese food! We came here twice during our 3 days in Wanaka. Highly recommended.

The staff is friendly and the food is surprisingly good.

Amazing food. Best roast duck ever! Highly recommend！

D. B.

(Translated) The food is delicious, boiled boiled beef, beef is tender and tender, tofu, fried and chopped meat, the amount is suitable for four to five people, sometimes people have to wait, but it is worth it! (Original) 食物很好吃，點了水煮牛肉，牛肉多又鮮嫩，豆腐煲，炸物和咕咾肉，份量適合四至五人，有時人多要等，但值得！

(Translated) Very delicious, fresh seafood, no local blue cod (Original) 非常好吃，新鲜海鲜，可以没吃到当地的blue cod

(Translated) Great food! Especially the green bone fish and the sweet and sour pork! It’s really worth for the long wait, I often tell my children that good things need to be waited, after all, it is not a fast food restaurant! (Original) Great food! Especially the green bone fish and the sweet and sour pork! It’s really worth for the long wait, 我常常和孩子說美好的事物是需要等待，畢竟它不是一間快餐店！

(Translated) This is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten on the South Island of New Zealand. The owner and staff are all from Guangzhou, and they are very enthusiastic. (Original) 这是我在新西兰南岛吃过最正宗的中餐馆，老板和店员都是广州的，很热情。

胡.

(Translated) The boss is a Cantonese speciality. Sichuan cuisine and Guangdong soup are welcome. Come and taste. The service is particularly good. The boss is particularly kind. I have lived in New Zealand for many years. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask their boss’s daughter to be very cute. There are 2 holidays to help. Hardworking, great, hahaha (Original) 老板是广东人特色是四川菜和广东靓汤欢迎前来品尝哈服务特别好老板特别善良在新西兰生活了很多年了有什么不懂都可以问他们老板女儿特别可爱有2个放假就来帮忙特别勤劳大大的赞哈哈哈

(Translated) The proprietress has a warm attitude, and the braised beef tendon tastes good. But the price of the wonton soup at $10 is too unreasonable. There are only two small wontons in it. If the portion is small, it doesn't matter if it is fresh and delicious, but the prawns in the filling are dry and hard without any shrimp smell. (Original) 老板娘态度热情，红烧牛筋味道也不错。但是$10的馄饨汤价格太不合理，里面只有两只小馄饨，份量少如果新鲜美味也就算了，但馅里的虾又干又硬毫无虾味，不知冷冻了多久。

(Translated) His family's poached fish is delicious. It is full and delicious. (Original) 他家的水煮鱼好好吃。分量足，味道好。

(Translated) I heard from my friends that Wanaka opened a new Chinese restaurant. At first, I thought I had gone to the wrong place, because this shop was originally a coffee shop, but now it has been converted into a Chinese restaurant, but it still retains the decoration of the coffee shop. The price is not very expensive, but the food is very delicious and authentic Chinese food. And the boss lady is also very enthusiastic, is a small shop that she runs, very attentive, recommended to friends who have passed or are in wanaka! (Original) 听朋友介绍wanaka新开中餐厅而去的，一开始还以为去错了地方，因为这家店原先是家咖啡店，现在转成中餐厅了但还是保留着咖啡店的装修。价格不错不会非常贵，可食物却非常好吃有道道地地中国菜的味道。而且老板娘人也非常热情，是自己经营的小店，非常用心，推荐给有经过或在wanaka的朋友！

(Translated) The proprietress is very enthusiastic, and occasionally I can see a beautiful sister. The food is delicious, a warm restaurant. highly recommended. (Original) 老板娘非常热情，偶尔还能看到一个漂亮的妹妹，东西很好吃，一家有温度的餐厅。强烈推荐。

(Translated) The food is not bad, but the soup is very small. The other order is very slow. It takes about 40-60 minutes. When we are hungry, we have to wait too long. If it is not ordered, we would rather eat next door. More shops (Original) 食物還不錯但湯非常小碗另點餐及出餐速度都非常慢大約要等40-60分鐘我們肚子餓的時候來吃等太久極餓若不是已點餐我們寧可吃隔壁看起來又快客人又多的店

(Translated) It is rare to be able to eat authentic Chinese food in Wanaka town, not takeaway style. An unexpected surprise for this trip! (Original) 难得在Wanaka小镇能吃到地道的中餐，不是takeaway 风格，这次旅行的意外惊喜！

(Translated) The food is quite delicious, but the chef is a bit less, and the food is slower (Original) 東西蠻好吃的，只是廚師有點少，出菜速度比較慢一點

(Translated) Recommended restaurants of Sichuan cuisine, authentic and delicious. Especially Mapo tofu and boiled beef. (Original) 推荐餐馆的川菜，正宗又好吃。尤其是麻婆豆腐和水煮牛肉。
