Asian Eats – The Golden Nest At Woodpecker Hill

Meep Meep!

The Golden Nest at Woodpecker Hill is all about Asian Eats. Our food is a love affair of Japanese and Korean flavours — we make our own Kimchi and fold its bright and tangy flavours into many of our sauces, dips and sprinkles.

We serve our dishes sharing-style, like Karaage-fried chicken with kimchi hot sauce, toasted rock lobster & prawn roll, Agedashi tofu with all the trimmings or black pepper skirt steak with spring onion and ginger. Our dumpling game is varied and strong. We’re also home to the legendary Cheeseburger Bao. And yes, the Cheeseburger Bao is as shockingly delicious as it sounds…

Love your ramen? The ramen ninjas from Ponsonby Chop Chop have opened a dedicated ramen and rice bowl kitchen with us right here in Parnell. Throw in our well stocked bar with a comprehensive side hustle of whiskey and we reckon you’re in Asian foodie heaven.

Weekend Yum Cha

From 11am-3pm every weekend The Golden Nest at Woodpecker Hill put on Auckland’s most social yum cha. It’s hustling, it’s bustling, it’s a little bit boozie – and in a first for Auckland yum cha, we’re also boasting plenty of…

Vegan options. So no matter what you or your crew do or don’t eat, our yum cha is the perfect weekend get-together for the whole darn lot of ya, helped along by our cranking cocktail bar (we do milk shakes for the kids) and sometimes even a guest DJ. Normal menus resume from 4pm.

And if you’re feeling super fancy–we do a special Peking-style duck and pancakes yum cha option at $65 and it’s fricken delish. Our Peking-style duck serves 3–4 people and you can pre-order via the booking page, this gives the chefs time to prepare your duck to perfection.

#1 Are you thinking about coming for lunch on a Saturday or Sunday? Prepare yourself…
Because every weekend from 11am-3pm, our Paradise Prawn Yum Cha takes over (and we hit pause on our regular Chop Chop and Woodpecker Menus.) Or, for lunch fit for an emperor, pre-order the… Peking-style Duck & Pancakes. Enough for 3-4 people, great value at $65, you’ll need to pre-order this delicacy by 9pm on Thursdays. You can do this online when you book a table with the button below.

#2 Are you a group of eight or more coming on a week day (or night) ?
Then sit back, relax, and let us take care of the ordering for you with our spend-per-head option, starting at $60.00 plus any beverages. This option is an effortless way for your table to enjoy a mouth-watering selection of our most popular dishes, taking into account any dietary restrictions. We’ll check if you’d like the spend-per-head option when you arrive.

Of course, no matter your size, your group is always welcome to order à la carte. Our dishes are designed to share and arrive in a rolling manner as soon as they’re ready.
