“ Super yummy food! We ordered 6 tapas and the portions were great. There were three of us. Really impressed by the pepper corn fish and stir fried noodles and the beef! Will definitely come back! Nice vibes and elegant deco as well. ”
“ I was totally blown away. Great food! I first tried Impression in Dunedin when I first visited and we ended up having 3 meals there. I felt lucky that now we have an Auckland branch. Absolutely amazing food! Each dish was prepared with care and has its point of difference vs other restaurants. You could feel the chef/ owner was very particular about the quality of the dishes. Very well done and would definitely take my friends here! I felt like they should have done a bit more advertisements so more people know ”
“ This is a great restaurant to sample multiple Chinese dishes (small/medium portions) at small prices…..with cocktails! We ordered the……. * Braised pork belly - delicious * Crispy pork - great * Chongqing spicy chicken - it took me back to Chongqing….you must visit Chongqing, China! * Stir fried lamb with cumin - delish * Kong Pao chicken - delish but could have been more spicy * Sweet and sour pork - great dish A fantastic place to order a whole range and variety of dishes at great prices. It was like a food journey around China! Must try! ”
“ All the dishes we had were delicious—reasonably sized and well priced. The service was friendly, and the food was served in a timely manner. ”
“ Absolutely LOVED dining with Impression! Customer service was awesome. We ordered 12 dishes from the Tapas menu & the food was amazing, service was fast and the waiters were super attentive. Servings were bigger than they looked! The restaurant itsself is gorgeous and has a nice and open space. I’m no gatekeeper but I will be enjoying this place before it gets real popular and overbooked!! ”
“ The best pecking duck in town! Heaps of tapas selection and they are sooo good! The service was not great, the staff doesn’t ask if we are ready to order and doesn’t explain the menu or allergy. The free peanuts was not available too ”
“ What a great find. Very genuine Chinese dishes almost made me feel like I was back in the Jing (Bei :). Fantastic hosts and a really nice environment. Wasn’t the cheapest night - but we also weren’t shy on the ordering I think the tapa size plates would be perfect for smaller groups to be able got try a wide selection. ”
