The 38 Best Restaurants in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland, New Zealand) | Eater

"Ask anybody what to order at Eden Noodle and they will no doubt tell you to get the dumplings in spicy sauce, cucumber salad, and dan dan noodles topped with fried pork mince and bright purple pickled cabbage. All great suggestions, but there’s much more to love on the menu: Try crunchy wood ear fungus salad with numbing pickled pepper sauce or dense hand-cut noodles with tripe bathed in a vibrant red-slicked soup. This ever-popular purveyor of Sichuan food recently opened two more venues to keep up with demand: one in the city center and one in Albany on the north shore. This isn’t a place to linger; beware of hungry diners circling your table waiting for you to slurp your last noodle. — LJ" - Hillary Eaton
