Food Scene
Fast and cheap, crowded and cool. Asian Fusion, it's a simple mix of Chinese and Taiwanese-inspired street snacks. Beer & wine by the glass/bottle. Staff are fabulously friendly and efficient and food is sensational. They do takeaways too! A fave of mine.

Hands down, Canton Cafe is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Auckland. Located on New North Road near the Kingsland Train Station, I have never been there when it's not full, busy and noisy. There are tons of delicious dishes to choose from, all of which come in huge portions that are great for sharing.
