Faro

Full of Koreans, so you know this tastes like home, or at least similar. Not a big menu, unlike most Korean places of similar format, which is great - smaller menu means bigger focus on quality and getting what you offer just right. We had the fried dumplings, which were probably the best I’ve had in Auckland. We also got Cold Noodle Soup, amazing with extra kimchi, mustard and vinegar. The soup is simple in itself but the broth was full of flavour and refreshing and noodles delicious, although a little sticky. The lights are dim and there’s slight haze from people cooking on the gas stoves, which adds to atmosphere. Overall totally love it except the staff can be a bit more customer focused, they look like they are there to just clear dirty plates.

We came here to celebrate my 30th and we LOVED it so much!!! It was our first time at a Korean Bbq place and its now my new favourite place. Im obsessed! Everything from marinaded meats, beef brisket, kimchi, and all the side dishes were delicious. We got a variety dishes and meats for the bbq.I also tried Grape Soju for the first time and I LOVE IT. Even thinking about it now, makes my mouth water and makes me wish I could relive that dinner time and time again <3 !

I was very disappointed when ordering Faro from uber eat. This pork belly dish is $41 as you can see it's not worth it. I know uber eats will cut % from your total bill so you raised the price, but this is an exorbitant price. I usually visit Faro and enjoy the food here, maybe I should come to the restaurant next time instead of order it online

Fabulous place! We were here with our family of 3: ambient is cozy and very typical, with each table geared up with a hood for steaming meat.they have high chair for babies. The smiling waiter was friendly and the service was fast! You can stare at the cookers doing their magic behind the wooden screen. They are awesome on meet preparation and hot pot! We had a al-Tang spicy Todu hot pot and a delicious Bulgogi stew hot pot with an extra tender and juicy meet! Tap water is provided for each table! Overall a wonderful and satisfying culinary experience!! Like they say in Japan: Gochisosama!!

Used to be my favourite Korean BBQ restaurant in AKL, but probably will not be back next time. Average food, NO service at all. When we asked the waitress to put the extra noodle in the pot as our table was full of dishes, she insisted to squeeze the bowl in and told us:”you can do it by yourself.” Very interesting experience.

my photos doesn't give this place justice been here 3x now I think love that they have a good number of banchan or aide dishes the restaurant is very laid out sitting wise love that it has a semi private areas charcoal grill makes it a huge difference with the flavours too might be pricier than others but you get what you pay for and this is a good place will definitely come back

Ordered via Uber eat on 20th December at 8.10pm. Paid 30 dollars for half a bowl of sundabo soup. Definitely not the quantity expected for the price paid.

The food wow it was awesome Enjoyed the night. I'd have to high five everything. Then there is a But. We had to go for an extra long walk. Because I eat so much. It was sooooo good.Food: 5/5

Absolutely scrumdiddlyumptious!!! Had dinner with 5 people and we were absolutely full. Their Mandu is very yummy well recommended!!

New city adventures tonight with Wifey . We roamed around looking for something that looks yummy and came across this Korean restaurant. I think it's known for the kbbq but we went in for their other non-bbq dishes . We ordered: • Raw beef tartare - marinate raw beef strips served with sliced pear and egg yolk • Spicy Tofu stew with beef • Cold Chilli Noodle . It comes with rice and a set of 6 side dishes. It was all really yummy, so much so that i can't pick my favorite lol. The raw beef was really good - it's been really long since I've had one this good. The tofu stew was super flavorsome too . Great random find!
