Invito Fusion Restaurant: Korean Fried Chicken and Fusion Dining in Invercargill
On Tweed Street in Newfield, Invito Fusion Restaurant has built its name around what it calls the best Korean fried chicken in Invercargill — though the menu stretches well beyond chicken into a genuinely wide fusion offering covering Korean classics, Japanese katsu, cream pastas, wok noodles and homemade burgers.
Fried chicken at the core
The fried chicken menu alone runs to ten variations, from a straightforward Original through to Spicy, Soy, Creamy and Garlic versions, plus a couple of more distinctive options — the O.M.G, glazed in orange, maple and garlic, and the Snow Cheese Chicken, coated in a sweet and savoury cheese powder. Boneless fried chicken comes with a choice of sauce and a side of chips, with a hot and spicy marinade option for anyone wanting extra heat, and Mexican-style chicken wings round out the fried chicken lineup.
Korean classics and chef's specials
Beyond the fried chicken, Invito's chef's specials include a Mongolian Steak — a wok stir-fry built around a homemade Mongolian sauce — and two pork rib dishes coated in handmade Korean BBQ sauce, one paired with boneless fried chicken and the other, Pork Lover, paired with fried pork and a creamy sauce. The Korean dishes section adds kan-poong chicken in a special chili sauce, tang-su pork with a Korean sweet-sour sauce, and Korean BBQ chicken. For something warming, the soup and salad menu covers a proper Korean stew lineup: a fiery kimchi soup served in a stone pot, a bulgogi hot pot with glass noodles, and a sundubu-jjigae soft tofu stew with fresh egg.
Beyond Korean: katsu, pasta, burgers and noodles
Invito's fusion identity shows clearly in the rest of the menu. Japanese-style katsu comes as a deep-fried crumbed pork cutlet, served either plain or with a creamy sauce, rice and dumplings. A full cream pasta menu covers carbonara, alfredo, a beef steak Manzo cream pasta, a prawn gamberoni, and a mushroom and truffle oil fungi pasta. The homemade burger menu includes Invito's own signature CC Burger — a croissant chicken burger built with handmade sweet soy sauce, bacon, tomato and pickles — alongside a chicken burger topped with wings. Wok stir-fry noodles and a vegetable seafood udon round out the noodle options, while a full bulgogi bop and fried rice section covers beef, pork, chicken, seafood and prawn variations.
Bubble tea and drinks
Invito also runs a proper bubble tea menu, with fruit tea flavours like strawberry and raspberry, blue curacao and lemon, and passion fruit and mango, alongside creamy milk teas in brown sugar, mango, taro and honeydew. A standard soft drinks list rounds out the drinks menu.
