Huai Yang, Mount Eden

friendly staff, minimalism decor, great housemade broth and noodles, also love the housemade pickles.

My partner and I stumbled across A noodle Less Ordinary yesterday and we are so happy we did ! The restaurant has a clean minimalistic design that reminds me of a Nordic restaurant. The service is impeccable! You can tell that they’ve really considered every detail from the stone underneath your chopsticks to the beautiful specialty sodas and popsicles. We were so blown away by the restaurants vibe that we kept exclaiming to each other that we couldn’t believe we were in Auckland! We already a huge list of people we can’t wait to bring here. The noodles were absolutely delicious, from the texture and bounce of the noodle to the flavoring of the broth. I cannot think of a single thing to complain about! If anything I Hope this place doesn’t get too popular and I can keep it a secret for myself! Oh, and the best part is that it’s insanely affordable. Could not recommend highly enough. Definitely get a lychee soda or a galaxy soda ! Such a cool place! Will be having lots of dates here in the future! (We also learned what a tea egg was from a very lovely woman who worked there! They’re bomb.com)
