Hala Hihifo sets the standard for Tonga in Auckland (fact)

Fabulous Polynesian cuisine, affordable and fresh and so delicious. We had the roasted lamb flaps, turkey tails, and pig's head. It was ALL so good and the pig's head had such crispy skin while the tongue remained tender to the bite. Chop suey was lovely, too. Highly recommend! The service was also good and one of the staff kindly explained the dishes to us (we were new to Polynesian food). Hope to return for some salted beef and lu sipi and that tantalisingly golden giant doughnut ball.

Such great Polynesian food!! We have started taking our international Fale Dojo students here so they can get a taste of the wonderful food.

The Lu sipi was amazing and juicy. Lamb flap too was amazing that my mouth is watering writing this. These guys were open on New Years day which was great since Polynesian taste was closed so these guys have good business. Only critique is no menu or prices so you're ordering very blindly not knowing the name of every food and not knowing a single price of them. Surely if yous can afford the nice Tongan league team wallpaper, a nice tongan league themed menu would be icing on the keke.

Deff be back to try their lusipi, their raw fish is a must as well as their otai melon. Reasonably priced, very clean and tidy, ladies were attentive and served us with a smile. Great music but it was a tad too loud. Few parking spaces out the front of restaurant or you can find more further down in the town centre.

Best islander food out tbh food is cooked to perfection! A little bit expensive but worth it! Music can be a bit loud sometimes where it’s hard to hear the cashier but what’s a kitchen without music right? Would 100% recommend to anyone who loves their island food!
