About TOP Kitchen

Known for generous helpings and late-night dining, this casual Cuba Street Chinese spot serves hearty staples ranging from sizzling clay pots to Hong Kong style noodle soups. The kitchen turns out rich beef brisket clay pots, crispy roast duck with rice, spicy mapo tofu, cumin lamb, and tender pork ribs, alongside homemade crispy tofu and eggplant with salted fish. Stir-fried garlic green beans, wonton noodle soup, and Thai fried rice round out a menu built for sharing or a quick lunch, offering dine-in, takeaway, and delivery.

Diners regularly highlight the massive portion sizes, prompt service, and hot, fresh plates, making it particularly popular with local university students and groups. Feedback is mostly positive about the bold flavours, though some note heat levels can vary between visits, dessert choices are limited, and peak Friday evenings can involve a short wait for a table. Located at 127a Cuba Street in Te Aro, it sits in a busy dining stretch alongside 15 other Chinese eateries within a kilometre. A wheelchair-accessible car park is available nearby. Our pick in Te Aro for a satisfying, late-night feed that will not leave you hungry.
