Oriental West Banquet is a restaurant on Northside Drive in Westgate, Auckland, directly opposite Mitre 10, and it holds a 4.4 rating on Google. The name points to the banquet tradition of Chinese dining, a style with its own rhythm: dishes arrive for the whole table, set in the middle and shared as the meal goes on. Choosing well is about balance — a fish or seafood dish, a richer meat course, something green, and steamed rice to pull it together, with fewer dishes than diners generally the right call given generous portions. Banquet set menus take the guesswork out of feeding a crowd, and regulars book ahead for weekends and big tables, when such dining rooms are at their liveliest. For Westgate shoppers and West Auckland families after a proper round-table meal, it is a convenient stop in the middle of the retail strip.
