Basu Lounge - Mairangi Bay

Great place for takeaway during level 3 and price is also kind. Children will run and smash their teeth.

Fantastic. I love this place, the dumplings are amazing and the noodles are great too. Staff are extremely polite! Will continue to make this my regular!

Love the dumpling in spicy sauce and portions are quite reasonable

Note to self:<br/ <br/ Always get the beef noodle soup. Even if you don’t feel like it. You only think you don’t feel like it but the moment the smooth noodles and that beefy broth hits your tongue you will thank me. Well, yourself. Myself? Oh, and ask for mild spicy unless you’re specifically in a vanilla mood for beefy broth in which case go for no spice. It’s still good although the little bit of spice does add that extra tasty kick. Do it. Don’t fall into the temptation for medium because you weren’t born with that particular super power. Small size is enough and you’ve got a decent appetite for your age, gender, and ethnicity. Go for large only if you want to experience being an All Black.<br/ <br/ Dan dan noodles are good but you don’t want to get it again because you’re not a big peanut person. Recommend it to others who do like it because it did taste good.<br/ <br/ Skip the sweet and sour pork on rice. The portion was great but the taste was a bit bland for your preference. Which is a surprise because the guo bao rou (crispy pork with sweet sauce) is so good. The meat is on the thin side but the crisp is great, the sauce isn’t sickeningly sweet and the ginger and coriander perfect the dish. Oh ask for more coriander next time. Make it your go to main dish.<br/ <br/ On carb loading days, get the dumplings. On days you want savoury, get the wontons. Both are good. Big and generous with fillings. The best around. Again, mild spicy since you’re a weakling. Accept it and move on.<br/ <br/ Be kind to the lady at the front she is always lovely. Friendly and enthusiastic. Take a paper bag for takeaway. Try eating in the restaurant next time, the restaurant has always been clean every time you’ve gone to pick up your food. Maybe consider going weekly. Make it your soul food.

Basu lounge has the BEST chicken wonton soup and I always order the chefs special spicy sauce too which is amazing! I’m not a noodle person but their dandan noodles are great too and i always order stir fried pork and garlic sprouts too! :
