Came in Saturday around 2PM. Parking on main and side streets. Great as very few patrons; the place is usually packed during dinner. Nice place, simple decor, long tables so seating elbow to elbow if full. Would have wanted smaller tables - there were a few. Complementary tea in a pot was served. Ordered beef fried rice, the popular steamed pork and chives dumplings and stir fried squid. Took around 10 mins, dumplings served first. Tender juicy meat hugged by soft dumpling skin, enhanced with chili oil, vinegar and soy sauce dip. We almost finished the fare when squid meal came, followed by fried rice. I swear it was the best stir fried squid I had, perfectly cooked and seasoned with spices, onions and leeks. The fried rice was great too, with soft beef slices, peas and grains. Overall a great food experience. Hoping for the opportunity to return.

Dined at 1:30PM for lunch on a Wednesday but no one else at the restaurant! The food was pretty good with the dumplings definitely being the highlight, ordered the pork & coriander flavour and we will probably be back to try the other flavours~ To note, their chilli sauce is more for the flavour rather than the spice level, but tasty nevertheless! Waiter didn't say a single word while taking our order and at the cashier but we aren't bothered by it

I have tried so many places to find the best dumplings in Auckland and I found them here! The pan fried chicken and chives dumplings are so good, it pairs very well with their house made chili oil. We’ve also had their yang chow rice and fried pork and pineapple with sweet and sour sauce - taste, portion, price = 10/10! Have been twice and so far the quality’s consistent. Happy to have listened to others’ great feedback about Mr. Zhou’s.

All the dishes that we ordered were decent. The eggplants dish was really good. Dumplings were nice too. Sizzling prawn and fried squid were salty. Food came out quite fast. The price is also reasonable. Will come back again in the future.
