Paragon - East Tamaki New Zealand

It's good to see another buffet restaurant close to botany. Reasonably priced, the quality of the meat and others were very good. Variety of meats were available. And soft drinks were keep getting replaced with new one so it was nice. And the ice cream, I loved the rum and rasin ice cream! The staff were friendly with nice smile. I would definitely recommend to others.

An early lunch with friends at Paragon in China Town. This was my first time at China Town since it was opened years ago, as I heard a lot of negative feedback about its shops food that dissuaded me from visiting. We had clay pot with dry pork belly Chinese sausage, BBQ pork fried noodles, Hokkin fried rice stir fried Shanghai rice cake; soup was complimentary. Everything was fairly impressive, taking into account the added MSG. My favourite dish was the rice cake well prepared cooked.  (Food 3.5/5; Service 3/5; Ambience 3.5/5)

Well its not my first choice to go to this restaurant today for our lunch but my husband keep insisting we should have a try.<br/ <br/ Its lunch time and I was starving. I dont have any high expectations on this place but we we're really impressed on the food and service we have got today.<br/ <br/ Looking at the menu there is a lot of options to choose from. We have decided to try their lunch specials which costs $12 per meal. We have ordered curry beef brisket and the claypot black bean sauce spare ribs. The lunch special comes with soup and steam rice.<br/ <br/ The soup is quite nice. Its nice to see that there is a lot of chunky vegetables in there.<br/ <br/ The curry beef brisket is nice as well. I really enjoyed this meal. The beef is tender. It could have been better if the fat from the meat is rendered or cut off. The portion is generous. This meal is good to share for two people. <br/ <br/ The claypot spare ribs is quite nice as well. The meat could have been cooked a little longer so we get that nice tender meat. The balance of flavour however is perfect. The black bean sauce is not too overpowering which is great! The portion is huge with this one as well <br/ <br/ We dont have any complaints with the service we have received today. The staffs were were attentive and helpful.<br/ <br/ Overall, it is quite a good experience and definitely coming back again soon <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/

Nice environment, just a bit noisy because of the kitchen. We had Peking duck 2 course $48 (pancake duck meat with rice noodle) and long bean. They all taste nice.

I come here for dinner and fish head soup noodle is to die for. Ask for fresh chilli sauce to flavour the soup and it's even more tastier. Highly recommended!
