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.

Tucked in the back and access through a small side lane, we found this restaurant. The reviews were mixed and we were a bit apprehensive but pleasantly surprise at the taste of the food. Petsonally I would prefer reduce a bit of the salt, oil...and sugar. Prices are also mixed with regular item overpriced. Overall, still a good eat and have no regret coming here.More

Very expensive!! But the shock to me was, the Virgin Cocktail …(Rose G&T) …. $14…. Very disappointing… when it came out in a tin can beside a tall glass of ice…. While everyone else got a nicely made cocktail that had a bit of effort…....I would have just ordered an imperial tonic for $7 if I’d known I was just getting a can of drink 🍹More

In a nut shell the food was very tasty but incredibly expensive -$192 for 2 people inc 2 drinks each. $40+ for mains is ,in my opinion, far too much for this type of meal.

Outstanding Asian fusion restaurant hidden away in the back street of Wanaka. Loved the pickled cucumber, dumplings, pork & rice. Lovely service. A real hidden gem serving food with great flavour & presentation.

We dined here with 8 people. Lovely staff. Delicious food. Plates came out one or two at a time, sometimes with quite an interval so it didn't feel like a meal - more like sporadic mouthfuls. Amazing view and great vibe though.

We were a family of four adults. The advice and suggestions were superb. We chose 2 small plates of dumplings and the cauliflower. The cauliflower was amazing! We then chose the Mongolian beef and the pork with a side of greens. We left very happy...full and would recommend highly. Take the staff advice on selection and relax and enjoy. You must however choose the cauliflower!More

Beautiful Asian fusion food - great flavors and well presented. The Mongolian Beef and Fried Cauliflower were especially good. Good range of craft beers and interesting wine and cocktail list. What's not to love. Great night out at FuDog - highly recommended.

Do yourself a huge favour and book a table here! The food is incredible! Definitely have the cauliflower started. I guarantee that you have never tasted anything like it! The beef main was insanely good. The NZ made Sake is also a must have -...if you are into Sake! We will 100% be back when we are next in town.More

Went for dinner and was fully booked, but the host handle to book a table for us after 8pm, we arrived and the stuff was super friendly and polite, we had drinks and few starters, dumplings & cauliflower fritters, both dishes were extremely well executed,...for mains we had, beef, pork, and sides of Asian green, well what can I said, every mouthful of every dish was full and packed of flavours, crazy and delicate combinations of textures & colours. The beef was superb, pork belly tender and rich, and the greens crispy and fresh. Compliments to the Chef and the kitchen team for that great food and effort to make customers experience memorable. Looking forward to come back soonMore
