Reviews of Chinatown

D. M.

Chinese market stores selling a variety of quality Asian products & produce. Everything made in china!.. Food court area has several restaurants to choose from includung Vietnamese, Chinese,& Japanese style foods. Different & Unique shopping experience but worth a visit...

L. R.

Plenty of parking, nice food stores and lots of different types of shops. From clothing to cookware. Has a Asian groceries with butchery. Also has small seafood market.

I. F.

This place has a lot of potential that's currently being wasted. a few nice shops nut too small for this humongous place. I have been to china town in several different countries and NZ one is the worst one.

R. T.

Not alot of stores opened but you can get alot of unlimited goods from China in most of the stores that is trading there, also there is a supermarket as well as a seafood store

B. U.

A shopping complex that houses a variety of small shops. It is almost like an indoor street market. However a lot of the shops are empty and there is a bit or renovations being done. There is a supermarket at one end and a food court on the other. The center houses a stage where performances (e.g. like during Chinese New Year) are done. The food court here is quite nice, particularly KL kitchen.

B. W.

I love Asian culture , shops ,food , people and Chinatown probably the best place in Auckland to find this under one roof. Shame that so many shops are vacant, the place could hardly be considered to be buzzing. Maybe more action on weekends ? Great place to sample Asian / regional food, great value, well cooked and super tasty. Some great bargains to be had in the shops that are open for business . Keep it up and fill it up 😆

C. W.

The pork belly was so yummy yummy tastes just like great tong.

p. l.

Lovely place, sad to see alot of stores closed inside however the food makes up for the loss

I'm so glad to see this mall is picking up again! There are a lot more positive vibes around. It hasn't always been the busiest place on earth but it's always clean and tidy. This place always has had it's own 'personality' and it sticks. It's really sad to see others negative feedback (1 star ratings) about this place because when you give a low rating for a bad experience, i.e from a food store. How is this fair to the other stores around? Without even considering and appreciating the difficulties and challenges that a business has to go through to keep their doors open. I work for a large organisaion that owns malls in NZ and offshore so I can appreciate the efforts needed into run a business in NZ. As a customer, I've had numerous encounters with owners from food to retail stores and they have been fine. We need to spread more positivity around, especially during such challenging times! Keep up the good work China Town!

D. E.

Still a shell of a place. Its sad tho. The good places are pretty good

Great place to get stuffs.

T. S.

Always busy and crowded place as ever sometimes really hard to get a parking but, Lim chorr here has some good choices of meats (if u get lucky) also bit cheaper than L.Chorr manukau branch

Always shop here get haircut shopping lunch dinner good place to visit

J. C.

Lots of great asian speciality products. Came looking for moon cake ingreadents and moulds which I found for a great price. Very cold in winter wear a jacket if staying for any length of time.

T. P.

They have a market there every Saturday from 9am - 2pm Arts, Crafts and Collectables inside China Town

p. P.

Fresh meat and cheaper than at the supermarket. I Keep returning for shopping, all good

M. P.

Nice , cheap products , unbelievable prices

I. C.

Great place for lunch. Chinese style

V. A.

This place is a great alternative for The warehouse, stationary, Kmart, briscoes all put together. A must visit if you have got bored of the usual choices.

J. A.

The Asian supermarket in there have some cheap produce. They usually have taichi class every morning. There are other clothing stores and hair salons as well.

B. B.

A piece of China in Auckland..... Not a lot of parking, though, and the mall is divided into a few large sections, so finding parking is not easy. Mall was busy, clean, and some good food available too.

R. K.

Great place to go when your creating any asian cuisine. They have all sorts of goods here

Good place for grabbing a bite as you can choose from quite a few different eateries. There's an Asian supermarket here too with fresh veges and meat. Would be nice if they had more shops though

J. N.

My Favorite go to place for HONG KONG STYLE fast food Delicious and Massive serving portions

Good place for shopping nice stuff with cheap prices～

T. S.

A Mall with the taste and flavour of old China traditional market. Need to vist this place.

Really a taste of the East. Variety and quantity is great. Recommend the place if you love the orient.

L. C. S.

Regular here for their smell-free and super fresh pork. Yes, pork does not smell (at all) in Malaysia.

Great choice of goods and lovely ethnic food hall

Nice place a lot of food eat in and take away my favourite fruits shop very cheap

A. P.

China town seems busy all the time, with the food court and shops. The prices are cheaper than other food courts. The vietnamese restaurant is really good value as it also has buffet for steam boat. Lim chore has really freshest veges and meats with really good prices! It also sells a great range of cooking sauces from south east Asia. You only have to spend $30 minimum to use credit card. Highly recommend this place! Don't know why we didn't know about it earlier!

T. S.

Great, so much variety of foods and produce. Fair prices for massive plates of food. Highest recommendations.

J. C. M.

We had our late lunch here in one of food stores insde .i love to eat Chinese food . And things to buy. A good Therapeutic massage always available after shopping perhaps . No need fo appointment

r. h.

Maybe it was a bad weather weekend day, but not many shops open on a Sunday and food offerings very limited if you do not eat meat.felt almost deserted. There is a reasonably priced supermarket here holding stocks of Chineae imported foods..and this i imagine would be the primary reason for coming here

W. M.

Great place to have lunch and experience a variety of asian foods..

R. M.

A lovely place too check out, food is great, different kinds of variety ,also others outlet shops ,,, super market, fish and seafood, electronic,$2, shop,and more.

S. M.

Butchers very friendly and helpful at supermarket

C. K.

It's spacious and has quite a few little shops you might find interesting, but it's pretty quiet and empty. It's clean though and seems to have a stage and an open area for events or special sales.

A. C.

Has a very good Asian supermarket and a decent food hall.

Good Asian eateries, easy shopping for basic stuff.. 👍👍👍

C. L.

Hong Kong smorgasbord has great cuisine at a fantastic price! The staff are very welcoming too 😁

D. F.

Like this place especially for good cheap fruits. Was my first time there. Will definitely be going back

Best place to get fresh Chinese veggies meat awesome

M. B.

Lovely Asian supermarket inside with is amazing. You can get all your groceries to make your special Asian dishes.

Went for dinner at the food court. Food looks delicious but average.

If you like bargain deals, great place . Only a few shops here but good stuff. The is one gift shop here which have great collection. I couldnt find any better shop for giftware. There is big veggie shop and a $2 store here to.

M. S.

Lovely way to spend an hour. Some really good food outlets and the genuine tea shop is worthy of a visit if you like Chinese teas.

Went there to pick up some hardware

H. F.

It is a worth place for daily shopping. You can buy meat, fish and vegetables there. The prices are cheaper than other Chinese supermarket

Looking for china products. There you can find almost all china things

I liked it Was quite interesting

m. r.

Love the food, the paintings, ceramics very nice place to shop.

Lots of interesting things

Y. H.

A lot of good shops inside and not too busy, not much parking though and half the stalls are empty

g. d.

Great place for food. Especially Vietnamese restaurant

M. L.

Pretty quiet for a China Town, it is actually a bazaar which isn't fully occupied and for the ones that are, they mostly appear to selling low grade goods with a few exceptions of traditional Chinese clothing and vintage porcelains. While the large hanging red lanterns add to the experience, it is sad to see the state of such an establishment and fortunately, some of redeeming features include having a food court, a Chinese restaurant and a Chinese groceries store. Totally under-utilised and far from reaching its potential of being China Town.

A. W. A. K.

Good selection of Asian Groceries and meat and Vegas thoug the meat prices are a little more expensive than other places

T. R.

There is nice Vietnamese restaurant, and small quiet food court. Not so popular place, but I like it because it's nice and quiet.

A. P.

Great huge Chinese market, fish if you like ... Great food in the food court ...different place

Bit deserted lot of empty shops. Food court looks good though

J. S.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Birthday lunch in february at $25 each for 4 of us and slect food for steam boat our meals was awesome I wish to bring 8 of us in for tomorrow are you open the resturant part

A. B.

Love the food hall here, plenty of awesome tasty choices.

C. L.

Below average shopping experience...... However it's good walking place when it's raining. Cos it's not many ppl visiting there even in normal sunny day.

D. h.

It is as the name says . Good food here . Better than the standard egg fu yong and sweetnsour pork . More Real chinese food multiple shops inside . Selling multiple things from.services to supermarket.

X. M.

Food court is nice option for family at weekend or a working meal inworking days. Price is very competitive compare with the food court at Botany Junction. A lot parking. Another good point over Botany Junction.

T. L.

The asian version of ASB show grounds... has a small stage often hosting events coupled with small merchandise stores and fast food resturants. the stores mainly consist of Chinese imports; ranging from computer techs to clothes. litterally a mini 'China town' as the name suggests

M. O.

Most stalls are closed. Owners seem to work to their own hours. Still a cool place to walk around in. Some bargains to be found.

Kinda an eyesore in East Tamaki, would had started as an ambitious project as a landmark-ish Chinese supermarket, shopping and restaurant building... but fast forward 10 years. It's just ugly, most of building not occupied. Just a running restaurant in the front of the building. Sad...

R. D.

Excellent supermarket type selection of often hard to find Asia food and cooking products. Very good meat selection and quite good fish selection.

C. V.

I liked the food they have there and all the different things to look at there are some very nice things if you got lots of money and are looking to do up the inside of your house its worth having a look here

m. m.

Good place to get traditional Chinese goods, e.g. tea, cookware…

W. W.

Asian supermarket is good, retail is still filling up the little stores, food hall is quite varied and there should be good there to cater to most tastes

C. l.

Got fish market inside and Chinese supermarket. You can also find bakery takeaway and a lot of grocery store especially kitchen for Chinese family.

What a wonderful shopping experience. All the Chinese groceries...many Chinese things...ornamental kitchen utensils then sit down and eat Chinese Cuisine

Cool place, a little empty. But some cool shops inside, I will go back

D. T.

Section of small eateries serving Chinese food. A bigger scale vietnamese restaurant. Other section hosts a number of smaller stalls selling an assortment of stuff.

D. F.

Nice not much there but just nice to browse

c. g.

Huge variety of food from Asia, in Auckland. Happy days.

I. J.

D. B.

Pretty good food stalls with a large variety. And found some great porcelains vases in one of the shops.

Went to get a part for my smartphone they had it and fitted it quickly. Quite deserted not many shops.

w. g.

There are supermarkets in China, there are all kinds of restaurants, a barber's barber shop, and the repair of a mobile phone, it is very convenient for Chinese people.

A. T.

It's more of a China Shed rather than China town. A few shops/stalls inside the big warehouse, and Lim Chhour supermarket is the biggest shop inside. There's also some food stalls at one side of the warehouse; though not many options. Parking at the front side is quite limited, though there is more on the side and the back.

S. S.

Excellent customer service, great products

Chinese community, you can experience Chinese culture and Chinese food here.

I. T.

Very good place, I loved the vibe and the variety of products. The price is very good.

J. J.

Some nice food. However, the place is a lot smaller than the real Chinatown in China.

j. l.

Plenty of parking. Went to buy fruits. Cheap end of season cherries. 5kg for $26.

T. P.

Competitive prices for vegetables and fruits, at slightly lower quality than in the major supermarkets.

It ok for eating out at food court and Chinese grocery

M. G.

Amazing place specifically for vegetables you will get fresh everytime and in lower prices.

M. W.

Nice food outlets and what shops are there are good. Pity no more shops in there .. a lot of vacant areas

A. N.

A lot of asian food and reasonable fruit and vegetable price

A. K.

Shall I say the rise and fall of "China Town"? It was huge! I heard too many stories. Now the tenants are struggling.

Good spot for all those little bits for the kitchen

Some food places there are great others not.

「.

Great variety of restaurants at the food court with a grocery store I could spend hours in.

C. Z.

Love the food court there... My favourite is the chicken curry and vegetables

B. X.

Good place, eclectic and touristy while humble enough to have people around.

A. C.

Good for grocery shopping, Asian supermarket and seafood store, fresh and reasonable price

U. K.

It's a decent experience you can find cheap deals and people are friendly even if your not Chinese or asian

J. W.

A few good stores hidden in a mess of renovation. Not a particularly busy place.

Houses a few Chinese related shops, can find some hidden treasure here however the place looks "half complete" and in a state of perpetual renovation

J. S.

Only go there for veges and meat apart from that no good stores. Everything is mostly deticated for Chinese consumers

Big selection in the supermarket, prices not bad.

The best shop

Cool little more, I'm not Asian but this is like Aucklands little Chinatown.

Great shopping for Chinese or Asian goods. Something that could do well n Wellington.

A whole lot of shops in one place, but too quiet for a proper market place.

C. i.

More like a ghost town hardly anyone visit this place, food is the only reason to stop by.

Cai Lin Nan Chinese supermarket, there are enough varieties of goods, fruits and vegetables flow quickly, and the price is affordable; there are not many meat varieties, which cannot be compared with foreign supermarkets However, it is also enough for Chinese to cook daily. 2.

There is a mobile phone shop at the west door of the south parking lot that can repair mobile phones and iPhone. Change battery $ 50.
