Hello Beasty is a fun-loving fusion eatery that captures the Asian soul of Auckland. Chef Stu Rogan’s menu romps across Japan, Korea, and China with Kiwi playfulness — kimchi pork belly buns, spicy potsicker dumplings, and prawn toast with wagyu are just a few hits on a list with no misses. The vibrant dining room — bright mural walls, open kitchen flames, and a buzzing central bar — mirrors the food’s bold flavours. Cocktails come spiked with sake and soju, perfect alongside the signature sesame-seasoned curly fries (trust us, order them). Approachable yet adventurous, Hello Beasty feels like a big, warm culinary K-pop hug.
