Xoong - Auckland

You guys should eat, shasimj, chiken wings, eggplant and duck fired rice, delicious!

Had a pretty decent time there. The staff was super friendly. I was surprised when my partner didn’t know what Rose to drink and the staff actually gave 3-4 tasters to choose from. Good crowd. Over all good vibe.

Easily confused with Wu Yu, Xoong stands as a worthy competitor in the ever so loved Asian Fusion scene. Walking in, you're instantly consumed by the dark moody feels Xoong gives. The restaurant itself was huge, with a full seating area down and upstairs. Bonus points for the beautiful decor, cutlery menu designs who doesn't love a hide bounded menu).<br/ <br/ Xoong has a relatively extensive menu which is supposedly inspired by Chinese Japanese cuisine. Many available options for meat lovers and the low carbers, but we personally opted for the following; ranked by how much we loved them.<br/ <br/ Tuna Tataki<br/ Duck Lychee Salad<br/ Wagyu Beef Cheek Curry<br/ <br/ a cheeky glass of Sakura Falls <br/ <br/ Tuna Tataki Mypersonal favourite, but that might be my bias tastebuds talking. Served with a mustard miso foam, diced apples grapefruit a refreshing twist on textures. Highly recommended!<br/ <br/ Duck Salad Also a refreshing choice with generous amounts of roasted duck skin. Perfect for those who are a fan of the sweet sour combination. Could not fault apart from some extremely fatty pieces of duck<br/ <br/ Wagyu Beef Cheek Curry Saw wagyu and beef cheek, and knew we had to try it out. The cheeks were tender and melt in your mouth, but curry was slightly lacking in flavour. Served with various vegetables, portion was huge! Would suggest going for another main, but hey! Each to their own.<br/ <br/ Sakura Falls : GREAT cocktail. Can actually tell there's alcohol in it, which is rare these days. Reccomended!<br/ <br/ Overall, service was outstanding. My water glass was literally always full. Food was good, ambiance is perfect for one on one catchups or even a group dinner. Pleasant experience for the night

Fantastic food and fit-out. I will definitely be coming back.

Went in with a few friends and we ordered 3 dishes between the 4 of us. The star of the night was definitely the eggplant chips! The green curry was amazingly flavourful! The only let down was the vegetables which were undercooked. Service was good considering it was really busy.
