My family and I had an amazing dining experience at this Chinese restaurant! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food here is absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes are incredibly generous. Every dish burst with fantastic flavors, making each bite a delightful adventure for the taste buds. My favourite was the snapper from the specials board which come out sizzling on a hot plate. Amazing! I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity and quality of the cuisine. Great option is getting a number of dishes to share. Perfect after a day on the now or other Ohakune activities. My son also loved the deep fried ice cream with jam 🤤
The service was equally exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful meal. Their warm and welcoming attitude added to the overall positive experience. The weather was bad in Ohakune today so it was a rare quiet night here which meant the food come out in record time.
If you're looking for a Chinese dining experience with delectable food, substantial portions, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be returning for more! 🥢🍜👏

Meal was very good (dumplings, sweat and sour chicken), large portions. Menu card is written on old vinyl lps, attentive waiter, very short waiting time till meal was served.
Just a tip: tap water smelled too strongly of chlorine

This restaurant is new for me as I remember it as the Blind Finch. I wasn't sure what to expect but went in to try it out. They are decently sized with a few tables inside and a few outside.
The menu was interesting, inscribed on a record. At first glance the menu does look big but it is just iterations of similar items with different proteins. I tried the sweet and sour pork ribs. I ended up getting sweet and sour pork as there wasn't a rib aspect to it. It was nice though and the portions are very generous. The portion of rice was also quite large. IT is a place more suited for groups to share items so that you are able to try a lot of different things. I also did try the deep fried ice cream and that was a bit disappointing as it wasn't what I was expecting. It was more of a pancake sandwich with berry.
The place wasn't what I expected but the savoury item was nicely made. The service was also quite good.

Fabulous food and an especially great range of dumplings. Fun decor. Dishes were delivered promptly, but beyond that, we may as well have been invisible. Not conducive to ordering more. An unreserved recommendation for takeaways at least.

The servings were very generous and modestly priced. Presentation of the food was very good. The menu is varied with some novel dishes and drink options. Thoroughly recommend it to dine

These guys saved us at 9pm on a Friday night in Ohakune! Really big portions and the Volcanic Lamb Shank was amazing!
The service was outstanding. Even brought us some fresh Thai chili to spice our meal up even more! 🌶️🌶️

Was visiting Ohakune with a friend from Rotorua for a winter trip and decided to try out this new restaurant. The food was amazing. 10/10 from us. We especially loved the special country chicken & vege fried rice! Some of the staff speak little English but don’t let that hinder you from taking a visit at this lovely restaurant! 🩵

The waiter recommended the special sauced fish, which is very delicious, fresh and slightly sweet and spicy. This is almost the best fish I have ever eaten in my life. Very attentive service! I will definitely come back to listen to your live music and support your ideas, come on tiger palace!

Expectations weren’t high initially, but I was blown away by the quality of food and the beautiful interior of the restaurant. The man serving us gave us complimentary wonton’s to try while we waited for our order, and they were super.
Very reasonably sized dishes. Would definitely recommend this to any fellow travellers looking for some decent Chinese 👌

So happy Ohakune finally got a real Chinese restaurant. The service was really good! The dishes were good, but needs a bit sweetness in it, I can taste it's typical northern China cooking style. We really like the onion in the fried rice! The Kong Pao chicken almost like the one I ate in Beijing, probably just add a bit sweet soy bean paste, it will be perfect! Look forward to coming back again in our next trip!
