I'm not sure if this message will be seen, but I wanted to write this for all the wonderful staff and the manager at The Occidental, especially the Korean staff member who served us. Let me briefly introduce myself — I’m a nurse working in Whangarei. I recently became a New Zealand resident, and I’ll be starting my postgraduate studies next month. To celebrate this special moment, my father took time out of his busy life in Korea and came all the way to visit me for a few days. My father has issues with his knees, so I was looking for something special to support his health — that’s when I found out about the mussel dish at The Occidental. I made a last-minute booking on the day, and I was so grateful to be given a lovely table. The manager kindly arranged for us to be served by a Korean staff member, which made the ordering experience much more comfortable for my father. The staff asked what we were celebrating, and I mentioned that it was my father’s 60th birthday and that he would be flying back to Korea the next day. After our meal, to our surprise, the staff brought out a small cake and sang happy birthday to my dad. It meant so much to me — I’ve always wanted to give him a special memory as a thank-you for all his sacrifices, and this truly made the moment unforgettable. Thank you again to all the amazing staff for making such a meaningful memory for us. I’ll definitely visit again if I have the chance.

그릴&찐 홍합이랑 아이 메뉴 피쉬앤칩스 먹었는데 뉴질랜드에서 먹은것 중에 제일 맛있었어요. 직원들도 너무 친절하고 프랜들리하게 대해줘서 마음도 편했네요. 공휴일 저녁 5시에 방문했는데 예약 없었지만 들어갈수 있었어요. 단지 계산할때 저희 테이블이 아닌 걸로 결제가 되어서 많이 나왔지만 그래도 바로 환불조치해주었어요. 빌지 확인만 잘하시면 될듯해요. 너무 즐겁고 맛있는 저녁이였습니다.

오클랜드에서 가장 대중적인 맛집! 예약은 필수입니다. 월요일은 홍합요리, 화요일은 스테이크 50% 할인입니다. 1. 스팀 홍합(크림소스) 그린홍합을 뉴질랜드 와서 처음 도전했어요. 맛은 한국과 동일하지만 알이 훨씬 커요. 엄청 특별한 맛집인진 모르겠지만 이런 요리를 하는 곳이 드물기 때문에 방문하는 걸 추천드려요! 구이는 좀 질기다(?)라는 반응이 많아서 스팀으로 주문했고 소스는 드시고 싶은 거 시키시면 좋을 거 같은데 마늘 들어간 메뉴로 먹을 걸 후회했어요!!! 크림도 엄청 맛있긴 해요~ 2. 스테이크 남편이 해산물을 못 먹어서 시켰는데..음... 무난합니다. 페퍼소스로 선택해서 먹으니 그나마 괜찮은? 홍합 좋아하시는 분들끼리 오시면 홍합 여러가지맛으로 주문하시고 육류 좋아하시면 화요일 스테이크 저렴한 맛에 즐기시길 추천드려요. 그리고 체리맥주도 맛있으니 추천!

분위기 너무 좋고 맥주 마시기 좋은 곳입니다. 하지만 시그니처는 그린홍합입니다. 스팀드 홍합과 그릴드 홍합을 다 시켜 먹어봤는데 둘다 환상적이었습니다. 리뷰에는 그릴드가 더 좋다고 하지만 전 스팀드가 더 좋았습니다.

Tuesday special was great. We walked in here at around 3p.m. All staff were kind and many seats were available. Steamed mussel was absolutely delicious. But I wanted it to be more like soup, not too thick.
Every food I took was just amazing. I’ve never seen this big mussels in my life! Sauce was so good as well. First time drinking Cherry beers and it was so yum!! Wanna visit Auckland again only for this

월요일마다 홍합요리가 저렴하다고 해서 다녀왔어요. Steamed Mussels - Creamy White Wine & Garlic 맛으로 half kilo랑 Garlic Cheese Bread 시켜먹었는데 너무 맛있었어요. (Half kilo에 홍합이 약 12~13개 들어있었어요) 홍합소스에 빵 찍어먹으니 존맛탱탱탱! 이거 추천해주신 리뷰 쓰신 한국분 감사합니다! 홍합이 탱탱하니 쫄깃쫄깃 너무 맛있었어요. 혼자와서 한 메뉴밖에 못 시킨게 아쉬울 정도. 다음엔 여러명이 와서 여러메뉴 꼭 시켜먹을거예요. 그나저나 어떤 백인 서버분은 왜 한국인들 포함 아시아인들을 자꾸 구석자리로만 안내를 하는지 모르겠네요. (음료는 L&P마시고 싶었는데 없어서 그냥 스프라이트 시켰습니다)
