Best Chinese Restaurant in Northland! We live in Whangarei and will make special trips up to Paihia just to eat at King Wah.We have gone there for Birthdays,Mothers day,you name it.We have also taken visitors there just to show them how good it is.The food is absolutely brilliant, and the service is outstanding.The owners Son “Jimmy” is awesome.He does most of the waiting and has a fantastic memory.He has got to know us now,so he knows what we drink and has even remembered most of the dishes that we regularly order.He always goes out of his way to make sure we are looked after and are well informed with any specials or changes to the menu.They always have the food on our table in record time and always excellent quality.We will drive past all the Whangarei restaurants just to go to King Wah. Well worth the 40 min drive.

Wonderful restaurant, their buffet supply the best oyster we had in NZ, I will say even better than Bluff. Other food are also good and affordable. Will be the only restaurant for us next time. Highly recommanded to all.

Definitely the place to eat in Paihia. The buffet is good but try something a bit more adventurous from the menu. Personal favourite is the fried tofu with chilli accompanined by a plate of noodles. Yum!

I went there for a short holiday break .. The price is so EXPENSIVE compare to Auckland cos me a bomb .. We(mean 4 of us) ordered 4 dishes & cost almost $200, only 4 dishes can you imagine that. The quality of food is too oily & salty a bit. NOTHING SPECIAL

We just moved to da twon and served dinners few times down there too. Fresh food, specially beatuful seafood—creamy and monster oysters. Awsome customer services.
It worth to go~~~

I have dined at this cozy restaurant and buffet many times. Its the best food in Paihia as well as being the best Chinese food in the Northland anywhere.
But if you just want a good fish dinner, go there.
They have a huge selection of meats, seafood, vegies and desserts at low prices. Very consistent. Great for 2 or for a larger group. Enjoy!

We have been to King Wah a few times now,it is the best Chinese restaurant we have been to.The staff are always friendly,the food is hot and well presented,there is always a lot of choice,which makes everyone happy.Well done to the team there. We will be back.Thank you for being always consistent.

Highly recommend, fantastic smorgasboard that the whole family, including the kids enjoyed. Friendly and efficient service too.

This restaurant is fantastic, i was able to take a group of volunteers for a Christmas dinner, and the service was excellent. the food was always fresh and hot, the best thing about this restaurant is that it had a variety of different foods and everyone was happy…. Big thumbs up from Tiaho Volunteer Support
