Basu Lounge (Takapuna)

My partner recommended this restaurant for its dry noodles with peanut sauce, so we decided to visit for dinner on Sunday. We ordered the dry noodles with peanut sauce and dumplings (dandan noodles), kkwobarou, and shrimp fried rice. The noodles were delicious as expected! The peanut sauce paired perfectly with the dumplings. We loved it. The fried rice was quite good and generously portioned. Lastly, the kkwobarou, fried with a layer of glutinous rice, was incredibly tasty and sweet. I really enjoyed it! Overall, we had a great dinner here and this place is highly recommended.

The boiled dumplings here are incredible. The filling is rich and flavorful, and the dipping sauce adds the perfect touch. The girl at the front desk provided excellent service and handled any issues promptly and with a great attitude. The food came out quickly, tasted fantastic, and the restaurant was very clean. I highly recommend this place and will be coming back regularly.

Good portion size for noodles. Flavour was ok. Asked for boiled dumplings but they made it steamed. So the dough was hard instead of soft.

Have been a patron since 2007 and food is consistently good even though they have changed hands. Really tasty and good value. Service with current owners is definitely better. Love their cold chicken noodle and assorted salads plus dumplings. Not much atmosphere but who cares, food must be good.
