No.8

We love it here. Wonderful fresh varied food, banging cocktails, and friendly knowledgeable service. Highly recommend!!!!

Just wanted to give a special shout out to our server tonight Henny. She had incredible service and knowledge of the menu and it made our overall experience feel amazing (especially for those with allergies in our group!). We wish her all the best!! Xx

My fiance and I hosted our engagement party here last month and everything was 10/10, from the staff, to the food, to the atmosphere. We had such an incredible night celebrating with family and friends. Despite being a large crowd, the staff were so friendly and accomodating every step of the way and even had disability access for those who required it. We will definitely be back and I can't recommend this restaurant enough! Thank you to Coco and the team :)

Absolutely delicious. We ordered so many plates and shared them all between us. Was a great way to share a birthday meal. Have to say the kale salad, the duck with pancakes and the mushroom dishes were bit hits. Thank you so much for how you brought out the birthday cake too. Will definitely be back :-)

Took mum out for her birthday as I loved this place for the experience we had as "Love Mussel". Place looks beautiful. Tidy and clean. Initially the waitress who looked after us was professional and friendly. Had dumplings as a starter. Then mains, Duck and Ramen bowl. Maybe we are not used to Japanese cuisine of this nature. But my Ramen had no flavor. Apart from hint of Miso an Peanut coming through. The duck was partly dry and was cold, plus for a non spicy dish getting chunks of chilli was a funny shock to mum who didn't recognize the slices in the duck dish. Anyway our waitress returns and asks how the meal was. I shrugged my shoulders and tried to make light of it as its hard giving straight up feedback. I mentioned lack of flavour an that I stole some of the hoisen from the duck dish. The waitress asked if i wanted something else but im never sure what that entails and didn't want to upset anyone. I never saw the waitress again. She collected our plates off mum when I was in the bathroom and didn't offer any further assistance. A while later she collected plates at the table next to us and asked how their food was. They said "good thanks", the waitress replied with "that's what I like to hear, it makes my life easier". It was intentionally to have us hear. She seemed mildly agitated when walking around. But we enjoyed the atmosphere and other aspects of the service. I'll make mention of one last thing. Not always a good look plucking your g string from your butt while walking the floor looking after people's food in plain site. But it definitely lightened our somewhat tainted mood.

19 of us celebrated our daughters 16th birthday and we have the best night. Service was wonderful right from the booking to leaving. The lady who served us throughout the night was both friendly and professional. The Atmosphere was pleasant with the bonus of a beautiful view of the town basin in the evening. Now the food.... was delicious!! Full of flavour and a few dishes that packed a punch. The Sesame Prawn toast starter is a must. Thanks all and will be back again.

This would have to be my favourite restaurant in Whangarei. The food is divine! Great to go with a group so you can share dishes and taste lots of different dishes. Service was faultless.

Best beef ramen I have had to date! And the peach kombucha 👌🏼 also our French waiter was so lovely and kind! Highly recommend this spot. All our dishes were fantastic! 🙌🏼

Cute place in the cbd in whaigeri by quay food was great and filling service was excellent got out food super fast. Truffle rice was delish smelled and really taste the truffle. Pork belly was suckulant with spicy sauce. Duck was ok a bit dry for my taste may never order here again .

Right along the harbor front is a wonderful place called No. 8. Starters and main courses on the menu but tapas style size and ordering. The won tons were excellent and the beef tartini was cooked perfectly. And as a native Californian I appreciated chopsticks being available to use.

Very good food. Nice range of cocktails. Dishes that can be shared. Helpful staff. Recommend the Passion 8 cocktail.

Went on date night here and was an excellent choice. Service was great, food was top-notch (shared), and selection of wine excellent. Would love to go back!
