Some points I liked about this place:- enough car parking.- the relaxing ambience.- some hot and nice barley(?) tea served on a chilly day.- the green plant divider between tables.- the soup flavor of the beef noodle, also the thickness of the noodles.- the small dishes attached with a main meal with rice + the small amount of meaty sauce on the rice.- the kind smile on staffI recommended my parents to visit this place.
I hadnt had Taiwanese food in a very long time so I was excited when I found this place. We ordered the Traditional Tainan Braised Pork on Rice (), Traditional Taiwanese Braised Beef Noodle (), and the Crispy Chicken Nuggets ().The first bite of the rice was the most happiness Id gotten from food in a while. It was absolutely perfect. The pork was fatty and had the most beautiful flavour. Definitely reminiscent of the ones Id had in Taiwan. Loved the addition of the soy egg, pork floss, radish and the side dishes.Braised beef noodles tends to be my go-to at most Chinese places so I knew I couldnt pass one up here either. The beef was so soft it just melted in my mouth, the noodles were a great texture and the soup was delicious and tangy from the pickled vegetables.The chicken nuggets were so incredibly fresh and moist, while the outside was crispy, light and covered in delicious seasoning. As delicious as the ones Ive gotten at night markets in Taiwan.The interior looked very clean and cosy and the staff were very polite and kind too. A wonderful experience and cant wait to come back soon.
This is a relatively new Taiwanese restaurant and as a Taiwanese person I felt obligated to test it out.Service: 6/10The servers were pretty nice but they didnt talk much, so it was a little awkward. They would just sit there on the seats and daze into space waiting for the customers to call for them.The food was served at a pretty good pace and we were never left waiting without any food to eat.Food: 6/10We ordered the pickled vegetables, gua bao, stinky tofu, braised pork in rice and the pork chop on rice.The pickled vegetables were just fresh vegetables that had been pickled.The gua bao was steamed badly and the bao was super soggy. At least this place doesnt westernise their baos and its pretty authentic. The pork was super fatty and juicy.The stinky tofu wasnt actually that stinky and didnt have an authentic flavour. The skin was pretty crispy and it also came with pickled vegetables.The braised pork in rice was the highlight of the day. The pork oil had been absorbed by the rice so it was super juicy and flavourful. The pork had the perfect ratio of meat to fat so it wasnt too greasy. The portion was a little small for the price but it also came with side dishes.The pork chop on rice was pretty soggy and wasnt that good.Ambiance: 8/10The restaurant is super modern and resembles the ones in Taiwan.The green plants are quite aesthetic and add some colour to the room.The furniture is a exotic mixture of bright colours to a simple wooden style so it looks quite eye catching.This style is the perfect place for a group of young adults to catch up late at night.This is by far the best braised pork in rice Ive had so far in New Zealand.
As a Taiwanese’s partner, I’ve tried lots of Taiwanese restaurants around AKL, their beef noodle is the best one I had in AKL. My partner is from Tainan, she chose the braised pork chop, the chop is ok but the side dishes was great and variety. She mentioned the little braised pork sauce on the rice is really a TAINAN flavour.
Beef noodle very good, everything else average, food takes 30 +min to arrive…. I was waiting my take away braised pork rice for like 20mins, i just wondering if they go catch a pig straight away for my pork on rice after i ordered
Max’s Kitchen, best Taiwanese food in Auckland. A family run business originally selling Taiwanese food at Pakauraga Night Markets for many years before establishing their own restaurant in Albany late 2017, located near Massey University. Their food is delicious and authentic with many items to choose from. (Left to right) Salt and pepper prawns (10/10) super flavourful with large portions. The salty spring onions were amazing mixed with rice. Traditional Tainan braised pork on noodles (9.5/10) the egg and meat were packed with saucy goodness. Stinky tofu (10/10) was scared to try it but was not very stinky at all, tasted like garlic tofu, the peserved vegetables together was a beautiful match! Sticky rice duck (9/10) large portions with the perfect ratio between rice and duck, and always appreciate any vegetables they add on the side, it helps to cut the fat. Gua bao (6.5/10) was just missing the juiciness and tenderness of the braised pork belly. Fried chicken fillet (8.5/10) crispy and tender and the lettuce was great idea giving you the option to make a wrap. If you ever looking for a delicious and an authentic home cook meal try out Max’s Kitchen.
