Guilin Rice Noodles - Auckland

Came in for a family dinner tonight. Ordered the pork mince rice noodles, the traditional guilin roast pork rice noodles, sliced beef and tripe in chilli sauce and the shanghai bok choy. The rice noodles felt like they were handmade. They were the perfect noodle texture. Not too thin or thick. Blended into the spicy broth, the flavours overlapped, indulging my palate and burning my throat while melting my heart. The mince was finely diced to the perfect size, allowing us to taste its original flavour while also absorbing some spicy broth. The egg was soft and fluffy, mingling with the noodles down my throat. Sliced beef and tripe in chilli sauce was delicious. The meat was thinly sliced and was able to soak in the perfect amount of chilli sauce. This restaurant also gave out free rice noodle refills. Fried rice was also amazing. It was spicy and the egg yolks and whites were scrambled separately.

Great place for a bowl of yummy rice noodles. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The broth is very nice not too salty. Perfect for a chilly day.

Love this place for casual dining. Food is always quick and flavourful. Spice is on point too. Recommended for hang over meals too.Have returned several times already and don’t plan to stop!

Revisit after a great experience early this year. They redeco the restaurant. The photos on the wall give some idea about Guilin. The traditional lamps suit the restaurant. The traditional hats on the wall are also lovely. Bring the place to next level. Noodles here taste good. Recommend to order the noodle with mild. The chilies are way too spicy for me.

I don't know people gave the lovely restaurant such a low score. After all, it's one of my favourite restaurants in Auckland. The Guilin style rice noodle is absolutely authentic, you can determine it's authentic from the marinade source on the table. The soup base is made from pork bones, I know it's the soup made from real thing it's not made from chemical stuff. I've tried 70% of the menus, most of them are lovely especially Marinade Tofu, Guilin Rice Noodle, Spicy Pork Skin, etc. However, there's several dishes I don't want to order again like Margarya Soup Rice Noodle. The last tip is the chilli here is quiet spicy, ask for mild spicy if you're not that good with it.
