★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food was not exceptional. We were led to believe that the menu offered plenty of gluten free options (one of us is coeliac) but in reality there were only four things! Incredibly expensive too - but anything negative was pretty much offset by delightful and helpful waitstaff.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ate here last night, delicious food. But kept getting reminded of the time pressure- 2 hours only to eat. We were a table of 5, ran a little late (15minutes) called and let them know prior… after that, all we got was time pressure!!!
The first thing they said was… just so you know because you’re late you only have 1h45 left- ok cool, let’s eat ? drinks and meals decided… we were on our way- enjoying ourselves.
The bill was discreetly settled early by one of the group and then with 20 minutes to ‘spare’ a friend of mine ordered an additional drink. They questioned whether she could drink it in time rather than just saying that the bill was already settled. On return this was mentioned, and we said no worries, we’ll sort it at the end. The condescending attitude of the staff was not necessary, neither were the comments of the Manager at the front.
9/10 food wise… 3/10 customer service
Just based on the service I probably wouldn’t dine again, but thank you guys for the food- it was spot on.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My friends and I decided to colour our Friday night dinner plans by dining here, and it was amazing. We were all hungry, so we listed out all the dishes we wanted, thinking we could finish them. The waiter assisting us informed us that we may have ordered too much, recommended the dishes we should order and explained the portion sizes to substantiate his recommendation. I ordered a ginger beer as I don't consume alcohol, but I found it to be a bit too spicy as it stung my lips. However, I recommend the dumpling range, the black pepper beef dish, and the broccolini. I would be keen to visit again for another great night.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing food, amazing drinks and amazing service, I had an amazing waiter from Eastern europe, they were 10/10. I highly recommend going there and ordering the little lulu cocktail if you're a fan of ginger, it is heavenly. I loved the complimentary peanuts that were given to us before our drinks and meals, it was a lovely touch!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is always impeccable. Been there a couple of times now and every visit has been an amazing experience!
Never miss out in the dumplings, they are always a hit - last night also tried the egg noodles and they were the best I've had in a really long time!
Service is super attentive and friendly. Also don't miss out on their amazing cocktail section - tried the daiquiri of the day and it was d e l i c i o u s!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Blue Breeze is easily the best restaurant on the Ponsonby strip.
The magaritas are a must try along with the pork and prawn dumplings + it’s a given that you must top your meal off with a pork bun. 10/10

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Finally got to try their popular pork bao and it did not disappoint! The bao was just perfect, soft and airy but also dense and slightly sweet, just how a bao bun should be. The pork was crispy, the pickled cucumber added great freshness and the sauce nicely completed the whole bao.
The shumai and dumplings were good too. The bang bang chicken was not quite as impressive, if I had to choose again I wouldn’t order it but wasn’t bad.
Good service, nice vibe and overall a decent Asian fusion choice for some casual meet-ups!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good knowledge of Chinese dumplings, they make good use of the western ingredients mix with the traditional Chinese dumpling ingredients to transforming them into the contemporary food, and they taste really great. The Pork with black truffle dumpling is highly recommended with soup inside, and served with red vinegar & ginger. Also recommend stir fried market fish.
