Hei brings the flavours of Asia to New Zealand with a contemporary twist, reimagining traditional dishes to offer an exciting fusion experience.
“Same chef as KC Cafe but more modern/fusion. I really loved the prawn dumplings - they were fully loaded and full of flavour. I'd go back just for them!
The bao was basically a burger and was nice enough.”
