Since opening the doors of Kingi, Tom Hishon has been at the helm of one of Auckland’s most beloved kitchens — serving up food that’s both thoughtful and joyfully delicious. A champion of local ingredients and sustainable seafood, Hishon’s approach blends a laid-back sophistication with a deep respect for New Zealand’s land and ocean.
On the 4th of September, Kingi is throwing a one-night-only dinner in his honour, celebrating the flavour-packed favourites that have come to define his five-year run. Expect a four-course feast (snack, entrée, main with side, and dessert) showcasing the dishes that speak to Tom’s signature style: simple yet refined, ingredient-led, and brimming with heart.
Whether you’ve been a longtime fan of Kingi or are simply keen to experience a slice of Auckland’s modern dining history, this is a night not to miss. An evening of nostalgia, exceptional food, and a fitting send-off for a chef who’s helped shape the city’s restaurant scene.
