Azon - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

Great restaurant with a beautiful interior. They have lunch specials that run in the weekend too. These are perfect for one and also good for sharing! We ordered the pork karekare, chicken adobo bowl and the beef rice. They were all full of flavour. My chicken adobo was crunchy (kind of like Korean fried chicken)? But I loved the curry-like sauce in the pork karekare as well as the slow cooker eggplant in that dish!

Came in for lunch today with a friend.Ordered twice cooked pork belly and cuapao.Pork belly was ridiculously soft although sauce was not really that strong. When biting into it, the crust comes off easily. Be sure to add the additional sauces onto the pork belly. Eggplant was mushy and tasted great with the sauce. Steamed black sesame buns (cuapao)were squishy on the outside but firm in the inside. Fried chicken inside was crispy on the outside but tender in the inside. Sauces and vegetables combined really well in the cuapao. Pino Colada proved to be a good match when having the pork belly and sauces as it made the dish seem less dry and spicy. Was a good experience and would come again.

Beautiful interiors, HUGE portions and lovely service. First time trying Filipino (fusion) cuisine IMO Azon's interpretation of Filipink food resembles Chinese to a large extent. (It's very greasy). Will definitely come back to try the soft shell crabs again.

There was a miscommunication with our reservation, that they didn’t quite have enough tables when we arrived. However, instead of just turning us away, the staffs were really patient, invited us to sit down, worked really hard to solve the issue. We were eventually given a table, which we were very grateful of. <br/ <br/ This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, with all the chandeliers, greenery, and attention to details. Makes for beautiful photos.<br/ <br/ The service was a bit slow, but they did have a full house. And the food made it totally worth the wait. Husband and I enjoyed the soft shell crabs the most they were crunchy and succulent, served with this rich and creamy curry sauce. Although it was an entree, the second size was big enough to be a main on its own. The chicken abodo stir fried spicy chicken were both delicious, although slightly more on the salty side for us. The garlic rich went very well with everything.<br/ <br/ We were grateful for the complimentary dessert it was as pretty as a picture, and the meringue rose was stunning. I did find the chocolate brownie a bit lacking in flavour and I quite dry. Would love to come back to try their other more authentic desserts. <br/ <br/ All in all it was a fabulous experience, I really appreciated that there is now a Philipino restaurant in Auckland, and we would certainly love to return for those soft shell crabs.

One of the best Filipino restaurants in Auckland... We came here last month for our Christmas Party... The food was really great, affordable... Staff were very accomodating... Highly recommended...
