The 38 Essential Restaurants in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland, New Zealand)

"Minkyu (Paul) Lee and his wife, Lisa, offer a taste of Korea at Ockhee, a small restaurant on Ponsonby Road with a whole lot of soul. There’s excellent Korean fried chicken and crispy potato jeon to go with the natural wines on tap and soju cocktails; while the rest of the menu is brimming with Korean dishes, the couple learned from Lisa’s mum, such as chun sa chae (steamed seaweed noodle salad with garlic mustard sauce); sticky barbecue dak gui chicken, which goes great with black rice and seaweed balls; and hearty bowls of jeon gol, made with broth that’s been simmering all day. Don’t leave without copping some of the restaurant’s sought-after merch. — LJ" - Hillary Eaton, Leisha Jones

I had such a great experience here. The food was beautifully presented, and the portions were just right. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. We went with the set menu and enjoyed every single dish. The flavors were authentic but they would have a dish to suit everyone's palette. I'd say a great intro to Korean cuisine without losing its roots. I highly recommend the plum wine cocktails! Light, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. I’d definitely come back for that alone.

Amazing food, the owner and staff are super lovely. Only downside for me was that there was no spicy food! But nonetheless, everything was still super delicious :)

I took my partner for a birthday dinner and we had the vegetarian set menu. We had an amazing time, the staff is super friendly and attentive. Every dish had a fabulous presentation and it was delicious. The cocktails were outstanding.

Super delicious food ! It’s like a hipster Korean restaurant, cooking familiar Korean dish with style. Portions are a bit bigger than tapas , I would say 4 appetizers and 1 main was just enough between 2 people. Recommended the noodle salad, chicken skin, zucchini chips and spicy rice cakes !
