July 12, 2020 Layne Dawes

Find out what Asian restaurants to try in Invercargill. Invercargill (Māori: Waihōpai) is the southernmost and westernmost city in New Zealand, and one of the southernmost cities in the world. It is the commercial centre of the Southland region. It lies in the heart of the wide expanse of the Southland Plains on the Oreti or New River some 18 km north of Bluff, which is the southernmost town in the South Island. It sits amid rich farmland that is bordered by large areas of conservation land and marine reserves, including Fiordland National Park covering the south-west corner of the South Island and the Catlins coastal region.

Ascot Chinese Takeaways

Reviewed By nz_travels_a_lot_08

Pretty standard menu. Food good. Prices are good. I didn't phone my order, but wait time was only about 15 mins which I thought was pretty reasonable. Provided an alternative to room service when staying at the Ascot Park Hotel and not feeling like eating in the restaurant.

Kims Sunshine Sushi

Reviewed By Lara K

This is a very small, very modest restaurant. I had the sushi and found it to be affordable and good. They make the sushi fresh, which is nice. It was good, however it did fall apart fairly easily. This is not the type of place you go to for a fancy evening out, but if you're looking for something slightly cheaper and convenient, then this is a very good place. I happened to go there, when it was quiet and felt that the service was friendly.

Canton Restaurant

Reviewed By Dubeary

I love The Canton Restaurant. I have been coming here for a long time. The food comes out really quickly and is always piping hot and delicious. Sitting by a heater always makes for a warm visit, and whatever dish I choose it is always tasty. If you haven't been to this reataurant and you love Chinese food and are in a hurry for dinner, you should try it!

Koji Japanese Restaurant

Reviewed By Trevor S

Love this place, the food is superb especially the large Bento box, BUT there was sushi in the Bento and no wasabi, I asked for some and was informed there would be an extra fifty cent charge, I objected to this, then told I could have a little for twenty cents, objected again and got no wasabi. The Bento was $28-00 and it was superb, where is the intelligence of the chef, twenty cents no was, principle here, he could have lost a customer, he hasn't as I will go again as the food is so good, but next time be prepared.

Thai Thai Restaurant

Reviewed By LARRYR889

The restaurant was opposite the hotel and as the weather was dreadful we decided not to explore!On a Sunday night the restaurant was empty. Service was efficient and the food was tasty. There's a good selection of beers and wine to complement the food.Not exceptional but a good average Thai restaurant.

Invito

Reviewed By ElvisInvercargill

Interesting food variety . Friendly enough but asked to make a quick meal decision because they had a big party coming in. Not our problem but a management issue. Most unfortunate. Liquor available but very limited options. Wine mediocre. Still cost just reasonable and service ok. Been twice now. Need to develop a banquet option. Pasta and risotto better options than Korean menu items apart from spicy boneless chicken pieces. Other crispy chicken options more crispy than chicken meat.
