Nanam Restaurant

I have been curious about Nanam's menu as I have seen several social media posts about the food. The place's decor is very Filipino. You are also warmly welcomed as you come in. Our server Jel is very attentive. We booked for a high tea menu. The food was both savory and sweet. There was unlimited Jasmine and Pandan tea. The choux pastry and slider buns can be better improved.I loved the panna cotta. I suggest you order calamansi tea. Very good. I also make it a habit to look at the toilets when visiting restaurants. The cubicle I was in did not have a toilet seat. I think the management need to do something about it. Overall it was a good experience. They have cultural presentation and they serenade you as well which add to the Filipino atmosphere.

Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. We ordered mocktails and we were very happy with both of our drinks. The cauliflower had good flavour. The sisig was definitely a favourite - very lovely pairing with the fresh lettuce pieces on the side. Wasn’t too sure on the roast chicken - while the flavours were good, it wasn’t as tender as we’d like and didn’t have a crispy coating like your typical roast chicken. Halo halo was amazing- great medley of Asian dessert flavours. Staff were very friendly and the decor was lovely.

Fantastic place, loved the food and the friendly warm service. The roast pork belly 'lechon' and the waygu steak were our favourites, as well as the dumplings. Really good portion sizes too, you could almost have 2 mains across 3 people.

Loved how tender the pork belly & beef cheek was. Tacos were also on point, melted in our mouths. Appreciate the awesome service too. So kind and took the time to answer our questions on what the dishes were. Worth the drive from south auckland.

I can't believe I only found out about this incredible restaurant now! Everything from vibes, service, food quality and portions, to drinks and dessert was fantastic and we'd definitely dine here again. You must get the iconic pork lechon and the wagyu sausage tacos. Takapuna is so lucky to have such a great establishment in its neighbourhood.

We have been wanting to try Nanam for a while, and I’m so glad we made the drive from West to Takapuna. Worth it! 👍 From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Everyone in the restaurant made us feel welcome. The ambiance leaned to a slightly fine-dining vibe with Filipino design touches here and there.. very comfortable and relaxed 😊 The food was fantastic 👩‍🍳 I’ve been craving calamansi juice for a while now (which i’ve taken for granted back in the Philippines because calamansi was just everywhere!) and their version hit the spot - so refreshing, and the right balance of sweet, tart/tangy. We started with the Wagyu Tacos. Personally would’ve loved the more garlicky and less sweet longganisa version.. but nevertheless, it was so perfectly cooked and tasty, plus the sauce that came with it was also spot on. We also had the Roasted crispy Pork Belly - crispy skin, juicy meat, and a really tasty apple sarsa. I couldn’t quite pick up the truffle oil that was mentioned on the menu though, but still overall it was delicious. We were slightly still hungry after all that and everything just tasted so good, so we decided to order one more - the Beef Cheek caldereta.. and just wow 🤩 The meat was incredibly tender and the dish was so rich and full of flavour. Again, super glad we got the chance to dine here! It really brought a taste of home in such a thoughtful, elevated way. Will definitely be back and highly recommend! 😋

We recently visited this vibrant establishment, and it was an amazing experience! The food was outstanding, and our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us with her excellent recommendations. We weren't there for Valentine's Day (we're not that romantic), but we still had an unforgettable time trying Filipino cuisine for the first time. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere! 🌟🍽️❤️

Wow what an amazing culinary experience. Sharing plates loaded with taste and presented as a visual feast. Mains were also beautifully presented and full of flavor. We will be back
