Overview

Fu U Roast and BBQ 富瑶烧腊, nestled in Northcote, Auckland, proudly carries the torch for authentic Cantonese-style roast meats and traditional Chinese comfort food. This modest yet vibrant restaurant is a cornerstone for locals craving rich, savory flavors delivered with unwavering consistency and generous portions.

The heart of Fu U’s menu lies in its expertly marinated and roasted meats. Their roast duck stands out as a genuine highlight, revered by many patrons for its tender, juicy texture and well-balanced seasoning. Particularly popular is the boneless roast duck on rice, a thoughtful option that maximizes enjoyment by removing the inconvenience of bones without sacrificing flavor. The same attention extends to the BBQ pork and roast pork offerings, though some guests note variability in seasoning with these dishes, reflecting the challenge of maintaining perfect balance in every bite.

Beyond the mains, Fu U offers comforting classics like wanton BBQ pork noodle soup featuring delicate pork and prawn wontons, and a robust cabbage egg drop soup complemented by noodles.

The restaurant itself feels welcoming and clean, with a friendly atmosphere that invites repeat visits. Though space can fill quickly—testament to its popularity—many customers appreciate the efficient service and flexibility, such as accommodating noodle substitutions on request. Whether dining in or ordering delivery, Fu U tends to maintain the warmth and integrity of its dishes, although in-transit dining experiences may lose some immediacy.

The menu’s comprehensive scope—from rice and noodle dishes to exquisite roast selections—caters to a wide range of preferences. While some dishes may present occasional inconsistencies, the overall experience favors generous servings and satisfying flavors that keep guests returning.

Consistently amazing Roast Duck! Probably the best on the shore. I always order their Boneless Roast Duck on rice, saves the hassle of spitting out bones and retains the amazing flavours. However, the other menu’s are a hit or miss. Roast Pork is too salty and the foul taste of pork is sneaking out at the end of every bite. Barbecue Pork doesn't taste well marinated, the unique sweet and savoury flavours are not apparent, it can taste quite bland especially towards the centre of the meat.

This place, regardless of where it is located (previously in the foodcourt), gives the best value for money with generous serving and consistent flavours. Lady owner obliged when I wanted rice noodles instead of egg noodles with wanton and bbq pork. Very friendly and clean with generous choice of sauces. Outstanding ginger and greenonion oil. My go-to when in northcote .

Today might not be my best day when it comes to dining out. We visited a restaurant that was completely packed with customers. We waited around 30 minutes just to get our food, which already set the tone for a less enjoyable lunch. We ordered the Combination of 2 Meats: Duck and Crispy Pork. Unfortunately, the portion of duck was very small, barely enough to enjoy. To make things worse, the crispy pork came with too much fat, which made the whole dish feel overly greasy and heavy. In the end, we couldn’t really enjoy our meal

We used to be regulars here under the old name Love a Duck. Have not dined in since just before the change of name. I ordered via Uber Eats duck/crispy roast pork on rice and deep fried wontons. The price has definitely gone up and the portions still the same- generous. Probably best to eat-in. Arrives warm on delivery. Food is as good as it ever was.

Discovered this place from a Facebook group and I’m disappointed that I’ve lived on the shore for 5 years and haven’t known about it before. Good sized portions and great value for money. The roast duck was beautifully cooked and was flavorful. Same with the roast and bbq pork. Will definitely come here again
