Why Travelers Love White Tiger
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Great Asian joint. The fried rice is amazing. We got rice, wings, buns, cucumbers, two drinks. The self service ipad is kinda neat. The portions are generous. The food ranged from good to very good. The rice and cucumber salad were 5/5. We didn't care for the dumplings sauce but the dumplings themselves were great. The chicken wings could have been warmer. Phone call for booking was 10/10 Welcoming was 10/10 Service and explanation on all you can eat and ordering drinks was spot on. They were all helpful, nice, fast and friendly! The food came so quickly. Presentation was beautiful and was all delicious. We left raving about the whole experience for days! Soooo good. This is our first time coming back since the reopening and it was amazing, wayyyy better than when the previous owners owned it. Service and the atmosphere was great, the music wasn't too loud, the food was just so good and flavourful. Tables were clean, and we didn't feel rushed like with the previous owners. 10/10 can't fault them on anything. We will be back again, thank you!

What an amazing menu, we opted for the all you can eat and wow was it fantastic. Came in with two work mates, one is a head chef the other is FOH Manager and I’m a Bar manager, yes we are quite fussy when it comes to dining out but we left extremely happy. Our Waitress did an awesome job her service was outstanding. My chef friend said it’s the best flavours he’s had dining out since he’s been in New Zealand. The beef rewana bread is a must try 100% delicious skewers and vege sushi yummy. And the Steam pudding wow reminded me of being back home in the Marae. Well done guys good job.
