This place has a bright and tidy vibe. I like the high ceiling with windows, it lets a lot of light in. There is a decent amount of seating, maybe approx. 25-30 people. The lychee sweet and sour pork was lovely, the fried rice is simple but tasty, and the fried dumplings had a nice char to them.
While the sweet and sour pork was really yum, and have a little side salad, it was quite rich - I would recommend sharing with another rice dish.
The pork and cabbage dumplings skin was quite thick, I think it was so the skin can get the char for a grilled, smokey taste. The inside had a milder taste, ultimately we ended up being super full from the dumplings and I'm not sure if I would get them again in favour of some other dishes.
The Hong Kong style milk tea was nice. Not overly sweet and a hint of floral black tea flavour.

I loved the Lychee Sweet and Sour Pork. Some people I know found it sweet but I loved it. It was a well balanced flavour for me. Having it with the Egg Fried Rice was nice. A very helpful tip for all of you is to ask for chilli on the side. They give you this homemade chilli oil and it's so good with fried rice. Dumpling I would not recommend. It was just fine. Thick skin of the dumpling really fills you up. Taste is average. That's because my girlfriend's mum makes a hell of a dumpling so outside dumplings seem to disappoint me quite a bit.

Lychee Sweet and Sour Pork
Newly opened Hong Kong fusion restaurant. Very large selection of appetizers and main dishes. Nice idea to offer preselected sets which are for two people in size. Very delicious dishes. Highly recommended when nearby. Opening hours are great.

It's not often that Remuera gets a new asian restaurant so when I saw aunty mei’s open I was eager to try it out. It was, however, quite average as the food and service was not as good as hoped. We got the Hong Kong BBQ pork belly set as well as the signature spicy chicken. Both dishes lacked flavour and felt watered down. The set came with some side dishes which was good but the pork belly was quite hard and portions were small.
Everything overall was quite oily and not very flavourful. Portions were ok for the price and especially because we’re dining in remuera but definitely not as good as i hoped. The atmosphere was nice though and the place is newly renovated. The waiters were nice but a bit unfamiliar with the menu.
Overall okay experience.

One of the best most tastiest restaurants I've been to this year. All the menu items were top class and had flair. The staff were kind to place a Ferrero rocer next to each diners plate during Christmas season.
Highly highly recommend this place.
Thank you staff

After dining at Aunty Mei's several times now, I am already wanting to go back for more and to work my way through the entire menu!
The crunch on my Pork dish was utter perfection, I ordered the dish after hearing the family dining next to me raving about it, and I was as equally delighted. Every meal and dish I have eaten at Aunty Mei's has been excellent.
My friend and I ordered all 3 desserts and it was a scrumptious explosion of flavour and deliciousness. Make sure you dont skip dessert and order all 3!!!
To note - the beautiful restaurant atmosphere and attention to detail on all the decor styling, down to the selection of plates and plants. Stunning.
The owner Dan has exceptional service and provides a high level of passion and care for his food and the dining experience - this translates itself onto the plate and also the overall feeling of being at Aunty Mei's ❤️
A restaurant not to miss - one to keep an eye on as it continues to grow!

Not a fan of the food. Everything was too greasy and fatty. Low quality pork chop. Paper thin and full of fat.
The prok belly was overly sweet and the fat was not rendered well enough to be not greasy.

Food is definitely tasty with an Asian fused with western/European flavours in their fresh and delectable dishes. Presented beautifully. Ambience is very warm and inviting which provided a perfect escape from a very cold winter's night. It's evident that the restaurant takes great pride in using top-notch ingredients, sparing no expense to ensure quality. I can see a touch of flair on the tiny details, even from handwashing soap, utensils and plates they use. The sweet touch of a Ferrero Rocher at each placement was a lovely surprise. Staff are ever so friendly. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of herbal teas they offered, making it a comfortable place to linger and savour even after the meal.

Aunty Mei's has just opened at the library end of Remuera shopping centre. Owner Daniel and staff are welcoming. The restaurant has innovative decor and they are preparing to start Asian Fusion cooking classes. We enjoyed our crispy pork and spicy chicken. Coconut icecream to finish.

The food looks exactly like the photos and it’s so delicious. Can’t wait to try this place again. The service was also amazing, such lovely people working there. I got the roast pork belly fusion dish for takeaway, the pork was delicious and the packaging was thoughtful with the soup and noodles packaged separately and the condiments were also separate. I really enjoy every part of this meal!
