Magic Kitchen

Recommended to this place by a friend and was not disappointed. Been here a few times :) The food is delicious and authentic- ordered the beef brisket in clay pot, egg fried rice, Chinese broccoli and siew mai for dinner (yes dim sum is also an option during dinner time!). The menu offers a wide range of dishes from Canton province style, to Malaysian bak kut teh, to Singaporean noodles! So many choices :) I’ve also ordered the 3 dish Peking duck on a different night- which includes the peking duck with pancakes, duck soup and duck stir fry for 3 people- it was delicious and enough to feed 5! The gentleman that served us is lovely, friendly and a pleasure to talk to. However the lady was a little rude and pushy like she wanted us out of the door fast- customers flow in and out consistently throughout the evening but was never over capacity to warrant her behaviour. Overall experience, because the food has always been great I would definitely come back to try the other dishes, e.g. hot pot, congee, hor fun, etc! FYI the restaurant does not hold an alcohol license.

This is my third time to Magic!!! This is my favourite Canton restaurant in Welly. Their dishes are just like "HOME-FLAVOUR". We, 3people order 4 dishes, but only took a photo of one dish....we forget and eat directly. :P 1. Shrimp dumplings. Surprisingly good! Thin skin with lots of shrimps stuffed. 2. Beef brisket with turnip - so yummy, especially cook in a clay pot! Keeps the dish so hot for a while! 3. Jade Tofu. Crispy skin with soft tofu!!! My friend's favourite dish! 4. Clay pot cured meat & Chinese sausage with Glutinous rice! OMG!!! This is so AMAZING!!! I am so satisfied and I have half pot of it! Must pick item!

Was here a while ago when visiting Wellington. We were just looking for some simple Asian food for lunch and we came across this Asian restaurant and takeaway. It was typically a Chinese type of restaurant. Don't expect much of the place but it was pleasant and spacious. The service was as expected but friendly. Surprisingly the food was quite tasty. So if you would like to have a simple Chinese lunch with reasonable price, this place is definitely recommended.
