Mr Lobster Private Kitchen

From the moment we walked in with our group of 7 adults and 2 toddlers, the staff was incredibly welcoming. They quickly set us up with high chairs and adorable cutlery for the kids. Ordering via the QR code was a breeze, and the staff was more than happy to explain the taste and texture of dishes, like the jellyfish one. Everything we had was freshly cooked, delicious, and served promptly. The place had a lively, buzzing atmosphere, and we all left feeling very satisfied and full. Thanks for a great experience! Definitely be back 😃

Opted for the $238 promo per lobster (RRP $288) The lobster noodles were one of the finest—good amount of lobster, the flesh of the lobster was sweet and incredibly fresh, noodles were al dente (thankfully they weren’t watery!) The abalone with snow peas stir fry is a must-try; the abalone was cooked to perfection—not rubbery at all. The added macadamia twist on the sweet and sour pork truly did the trick. Overall, positive experience with pleasant customer service (attentive without being intrusive). The atmosphere was very inviting, with spacious seating, clean and comfy. Plenty of parking made it more convenient. This restaurant has clearly earned its spot being the Top 50 in Auckland, and the finalist in the Metro Restaurant of the Year 2024. We’ll be back for more!

Dined in the Pvt room at such a big table. The food was wonderful and sharing is what it’s all about so you experience all the flavours here. The lobster was tasty too. Abalone was cooked to perfection. Had sea cucumber for first time and wasn’t too bad even.

We’ve been getting dim sum in Auckland for almost 10 years and this is by far the best place! Very authentic, fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, creative new dim sum dishes and everything is absolutely delicious. The decor is nice, atmosphere is very comfortable and service is quick, friendly and efficient. There is a parking lot but it fills up by 12pm unless you wait for someone to leave - which is well worth it if you need to do so.

We came here looking for a last minute restaurant on Valentine’s Day. After about 2 minutes of waiting we were seated, given our menus and offered drinks. We were told that they did not serve yum cha for dinner service but that didn’t bother us. Our orders were taken 15-20 minutes after being seated which I felt was a little long, however the food came out fairly quickly after that. Once we had everything we ordered, our waiter had told us that we had everything we ordered (which was a nice touch) and to let him know if we needed anything else. Chicken with crispy pancake - okay. It was a cold salad which we weren’t expecting. The pancake was yum Pork buns - a little more sweet but nice Chinese beef sizzle plate - delicious. Would definitely recommend Chicken wings - nice and crispy, could do with a little more seasoning Whitebait fritter - more on the expensive side but worth every cent!! Prawn and cheese balls - the red crispy bits threw me off at first but they added a nice texture. Another must try menu item. Presentation was beautiful Dinner menu has a lot to offer with a lot of unique dishes to try. Parking wasn’t great due to it being shared with a number of other eateries. It was very busy and we had to circle the parking lot to find a space. Wheelchair friendly - level entrance. Tables spaced well enough to allow accessibility Although this restaurant is on the expensive side, I would definitely recommend if you’re wanting to try something new
