Basu Lounge (Takapuna)

Great little hole in the wall place to get flavourful noodle or dupling dishes cheap. Food here is great value for money and the portion sizes are massive. For the 16 bucks i paid, i got the massive bowl of dan dan noodles and mince in the videos and pics i posted. The noodles were filling and flavourful, and im definitely coming back next time im in takapuna

Love the dan dan pork noodles here. The whole gang and I come here for these noodles almost every other week. They are traditionally spicy noodles, so even their “mild spicy” is your average medium spicy. Definitely recommend it! Dumplings taste average. Small casual place with limited seating.

Went on the Saturday noon before Christmas. Street paid parking. The small place accommodates around 2 dozen customers. Ordered the popular dan dan noodles and potato salad. Mildly spiced noodles were very good. Salad was for surfeit of noodles that were filling. Priced just right. Great lunch.

Short Story ~ My colleagues often get their lunch from Basu Lounge, they seem to be loyal customers, so that’s how I got introduced to this place. So, today I decided to give it a go. 🙂 What I ordered - Chicken & Cabbage Dumplings in spicy sauce (10 pcs). 👈 this is one of their Top Selling items if the menu 🥟 How much I paid - $17.80 What I liked - Portion, pretty generous 🍲 What I did not like - Sweetness in the spicy sauce, where I come from sweet-base curry/ sauce/ gravy isn’t part of the meals so it’s the ONLY thing that did not work for me, may be not used to that taste! Value for money - Yes, absolutely 👍 Spice level - Item’s description is …..with spicy sauce, but it wasn’t spicy/ hot at all. Next time I’ll ask them to make it even spicier. 🥵 Overall, not an unpleasant experience 🙂 One may try if in/ around Takapuna, North Shore, Auckland 👍
