An Asian-inspired restaurant beside the Mahurangi River in the heart of Warkworth, where the dishes are designed for sharing. The drinks are a large part of the offer: cocktails such as the Lassi Colada, with mango and coconut, and the Seoul Mule, with green grape soju and ginger beer, along with Asian specialty drinks including Choya Plum Wine and Gekkeikan Hot Sake, and mocktails. There is a kids' menu of fried chicken or pork belly bites with fries and broccoli, kids fried rice, and beef meatballs with egg noodles. Desserts include Miso Banoffee Wontons with coconut ice cream and Mango Sago with popping pearls. The Velvet Room, which overlooks the river, is for private group bookings of up to 12 guests, and the Riverside Dining Room suits private functions, with bespoke menus on request. It is open Wednesday to Monday from 12pm, and it sits 40 minutes north of Auckland, near Matakana and Leigh. Open Locally lists three other restaurants within a kilometre, including Warkworth Hotel, The Tahi Bar + Kitchen and Aldo's Restaurant.
