Totoya in Auckland

"We had dinner here not too long ago. That night was crowded. The restaurant was not too big but comfortable. The food was tasty, prices very reasonable and the serving was average size. The service was friendly and efficient. The side dishes were free and could be replenished. Booking is necessary. Strongly recommended."

"SCORE: 76/100 Had sizzling pork and seafood soup. Sizzling pork came out dry unfortunately but had some decent flavour. Wasn't the best I've had. The soup was great though and would recommend. They gave a lot of side dishes with large portions. Very surprising and generous. I would give them the benefit of the doubt and try it again. Do note, you cannot book and need to show up and wait for a table or hope one is free."

"Great place for Korean food - we loved it! You get a really good variety of sided served with your dishes too which was nice. The service could be a little more friendly but still would reccomend. Good quality for the cost."

"For wholesome Korean family restaurant vibes, look no where else. This is a family run restaurant with plenty of delicious side dishes (the fried potato cakes are a delight). If you are wanting to experience all the banchan of Korean culture, this is a great place to start with a generous amount of side dishes. The mains were lovely home style Korean cooking. We enjoyed the pork bone soup and bulgolgi. Price is extremely reasonable."

"Been here many times, they are famous for their amazing side dishes. Their stew, in particularly the pork bone soup is very yummy and generous in the portion. However there will always be a queue to come into this restaurant, especially in the weekend. Also, they seem to be not that nice to people other than Koreans. We were second table to come in for a particular occasion and ordered pretty quickly. However I looked around, all the Korean seated tables were served first and we had to wait 45 minutes before we got half our orders here. I had to ask whether the other half was coming and he said it was but I felt if I didn't ask we were never going to get the other half. They also left out the pancake side dishes and start serving other tables and giving them the pancake side dishes. Despite the amazing food, I really can't give 5 stars for this kind of service in New Zealand."

"A Korean restaurant offers generous side dishes: eight dishes. And they are all yummy. Affordable price, good amount on each dish, calm and relax atmosphere. It's very busy during lunch time, might need more staffs."

"First time visited today, definitely will come back again, super lovely 8 free tasty side dishes. The restaurant was busy, tables filled up very quickly!"

"#Korean Restaurant# There’s usually a short wait during busy times, but it’s totally worth it. The crispy pork and soup were great, and the starters were generous and delicious."
