Review of XOONG

XOONG
Reserve a table
Ranked #1 of 50 Restaurants in Mount Eden
Certificate of Excellence
Description: Fun fusion a mix of Japanese & Chinese cuisine XOONG, the newest addition to Auckland’s thriving hospitality hub of Mt Eden Village offers diners contrasting flavours of Asia in a series of captivating dining rooms. Drawing from North East Asian influences, one is immersed into the bold and textural design of the 150 seat restaurant. Over two stories diners will find intimate spaces and secluded dining areas juxtaposed by minimalist Japanese and intricate Chinese designs. Opposite the cocktail bar a canopy of dramatic red lanterns leads you past the open kitchen and chef tables to the courtyard, offering guests a delightful journey of discovery. China and Japan make strange bedfellows as their tumultuous history would tell us and this dramatic past is the inspiration for the restaurant. Xoong beautifully marries this theme with the ever-popular aromas of a Vietnamese kitchen simultaneously tying the styles together and creating a menu of big flavours that is unmistakably unique.

My third visit to Xoong. Love the food, eggplant chips and gyozas were so delicious! Had beef cheek curry which was also amazing. Service was excellent.
Highly recommend

We had been looking forward to going to Xong - and we were not disappointed. Great selection and each dish tasted great. My picks - popping prawns and Chicken wings. Make sure you save room for the Pandan tapioca - it was both presented and tasted fantastic.

We visited Xoong for a family birthday dinner. The service was professional and excellent. The food was fantastic! Everyone in our group was well satisfied with their meals, including people with special requests for milder or spicier dishes. Notable dishes were the eggplant chips, both vegetable side dishes, the squid, the vegan main dish curry -- in fact basically everything we ordered was delicious. While not the cheapest place to eat, Xoong must surely be one of the best Asian fusion restaurants in Auckland.
