Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited for dinner in May 2023. Located in a cluster of shops, this quirky little collection of eateries can be described as a modern-take on a food court. With various choices of food and beverage options and seating indoor and outdoor, this place is popular...for the young and old. With beer on the menu as well as arcade machines for that cool relaxed vibe, this place really makes dining a fun place to be. There's even a shop selling make-your-own customised popsicle! Parking may be an issue on peak times but we did not have that issue. Pricing is on the higher-than-normal bracket.More

The food was great , Mexican Street food cooked really well. . Unfortunately the off road customer parking isn't actually customer parking after all . I got sent letter demanding money ( $30 ) from the parking managing firm who claimed I saw a sign...to buy a parking ticket . I didn't see a sign. I have never experience a customer car park you had to pay for before . Anyway I won't go back there again . If I could on the road it would be good , but unfortunately there are only a few service vehicle parks on St Asaph street since the council put a bike lane in .More

Hi there, Good that you have always enjoyed your time with us at Little High. Sorry to hear about the unnecessary additional expense for parking ticket. Unfortunately the parking space doesn’t go under Little High’s control nor do the tickets contributes to the small businesses...More

I think there are eight different food outlets here. They range from Boom Boom Chicken to ethnic Japanese and a grill. You order and pay for what you what then once it is cooked you come and get your meal and sit in the shared...seating areas. Great if you can't decide what each person wants to eat. Outdoor areas are well heated under gas heaters.More

Spicy Dan Dan from Eight Grains did not have any bok choy or greens, the noodles were greasy, the pork mince smelt bad and it left me feeling sick after eating a few mouthfuls. Food quality and service has dropped.

What a great place, so glad we found it! Groovy place made up of all different eateries and bars inside and out. To call it a food court would be insulting but similar. We had the Mexican and Nine Grains Asian bao buns and dumplings...great! Burritos very tasty. We were there at lunch but it is open for dinner but I heard it’s very busy between 6-8pm so might have to wait for a table but worth it.More

This is a great food court type casual eatery which we saw close to where were staying in town. The website doesn't do a good job of really explaining "what to expect" so we went on a limb. It's essentially 9 separate food operators in...a shared space, similar to a food court, with high end food. You can choose from any of the food places & sit in communal areas, serviced by friendly busboys & girls. You go to the counter, buy your food, get a beeper, sit down & when your food is ready you go get it. lots of choices, great food. mixed age group. indoor & outdoor dining. open all day & late which is nice. I ordered from boom boom chicken & hubs had a pizza. happy hour in several places from 4-6 for drinks. A lot like the Riverside market place which we also loved.More

We were touring NZ and this place was recommended by our NZ travel agency. It is a modern take on a high end food court, with different authentic independent restaurants sharing the space. This is definitely a popular place for locals, packed with people of...all ages enjoying it. It was nice to see so many happy people enjoying their food. We enjoyed our beef and veg burgers from Bacon Brothers very much.More

This is a busy spot to meet up with friends for food and drinks. We chose El Fogon. The barbecue ribs were good. Almost as good as Mississippi barbecue. The beer was delicious and salad and mashed potatoes were tasty. We split the meal and...it was plenty. There are numerous restaurants to choose from. Our friends were very happy with their orders from burger place and Thai place. The Mexican restaurant had very good beers on tap. You can sit inside or outside at large tables. It was very busy with young people around happy hour but got a little less crowded as the evening went on. We went on a Wednesday night so I imagine it is busy most nights.More
