Chinese cuisine has influenced many other cuisines in Asia, with modifications made to cater to local palates. Chinese food staples such as rice, soy sauce, noodles, tea, chili oil and tofu, and utensils such as chopsticks and the wok, can now be found worldwide.
I went with a friend to grab dinner at Bala, Peachgrove, and the food was absolutely flawless. The Chicken 65 is hands down the best in town—far better than any other restaurant I’ve tried. On top of that, the staff who served us yesterday (14/01/26) were incredibly friendly and kind. Amazing food and the most welcoming service—definitely the best spot in town!

Delicious food with quality ingredients. Would have loved a wee bit more chipotle mayo on the loaded fries and the tacos on our last order, but that would be being very picky! The pizzas are beautiful and everything fresh. Probably one of my favourite food spots in town now.

If you’re visiting Rotorua or Taupo, be sure to check out this awesome sushi place. The food is top-notch—the rice is cooked just right, with a perfect texture that’s neither too firm nor too soft. Each item is full of flavor, well-sized and nicely balanced without being oily. The packaging is clean and well-organized too. I was really impressed with my meal, a delicious salad sushi today and it was incredibly tasty.

This is an amazing local restaurant! The portions are generous and the food tastes incredible for the price. I have no complaints! The value is outstanding, and I especially love their chicken dish which it’s perfect for my taste. I will definitely be back, and I’m sure it will become my regular spot. Highly recommended!
