Kingston Noodles

It’s a Hong Kong noodles restaurant but they do have rice dishes too. My Friday lunch spot with my workmates. VERY VERY popular with the Hong Kongers and Chinese.
Their most popular noodle is served with beef offals (that’s beef tripe, liver, stomach etc etc lol.) And Hong Kong people love it! There also aren’t many in Auckland that does it as soft and tasty as Kingston.
Their next favourite (for those that can’t handle offal) is satay beef noodle soup. Tbh I don’t know how it’s satay and don’t mind because it’s super tender, juicy and full of delicious flavour.
Their soup base was something I couldn’t get enough of but now it’s just full of msg and makes me extremely thirsty after, however I still can’t stop drinking it haha. I love it when it’s mixed with the sauce from the braised beef topping!!! Makes it’s even more tasty and flavourful and addictive. I always ask for thick rice noodles (round not flat. Sometimes called thick vermicelli?) instead of the usual thin egg noodles. You can also ask for sauce noodles instead of noodle soup where the noodles are slathered in the topping you picked, you then mix it all together with the hoisen sauce they give you (add some soup to help the mixing process).
Ask to add extras like a fried egg, dumplings, wontons, fried fish balls, beef balls, luncheon, vegetable lol anything on their menu can pretty much be added in as an extra. Also they have a variety of noodles to choose from: thin egg noodles, thick egg noodles, thin vermicelli (rice noodles), thick vermicelli (rice noodles), hor fun (flat rice noodles about 1 cm wide), yang chun mian (kind of like soft hand made noodles) and of course curly instand noodles haha (I’m sure there’s more but we have tried yet)
For drinks, their most popular drink is called Ying yang milk tea which is a mixture of milktea and coffee. I know it sounds weird but it quite nice! If not go for the lemon iced tea or crushed red bean milk drink.
So many choices and not too expensive! Each bowl is usually around $ 10 unless u get the beef offal which is $ 13.50.
P. s. You MUSSSST try the Hong Kong style french toast. It’s totally different to what u would except and so much nicer. It’s filled with peanut butter and then deep fried and then slathered in golden syrup. if that helps with the decision making…
