You’ll Love Otto Woo - Award-winning gourmet noodle bar opens in Takapuna

Healthy meals don’t have to be boring, try this perfect balance of great taste and nutrition

For those who live on the Shore who have been captivated by the fabulous gourmet Asian cuisine of Otto Woo, we have some good news. You don’t need to go over the bridge anymore to get it! For those who have never discovered Otto Woo but love healthy, nutritious and delicious Asian cuisine, an Otto Woo Gourmet Noodle Bar is now open in Takapuna at 484 Lake Rd. 

Otto Woo was established in Ponsonby 20 years ago, and quickly became a popular spot for quick dine-in meals or healthy and nutritious takeouts. Since then, Otto Woo outlets have also opened in Newmarket and Mission Bay...and now Takapuna on Lake Rd.

The Otto Woo brand stands for healthy, fresh and funky food served in the iconic paper noodle boxes. Otto Woo provides western-style modern Asian cuisine, with a strong Japanese and Thai/Malaysian influence. Each meal contains loads of daily fresh vegetables, high-quality sauces and fresh herbs, so it's tasty as well as healthy. No pre-cooked or processed meat is used. MSG is never added. Everything is prepared fresh by skilled Otto Woo chefs. 

Since opening in 1999 Otto Woo has won many best noodle bar and best gourmet take-out awards. It was the first of the New York-style noodle bars to open in New Zealand and has constantly stayed ahead of its imitators - due to the commitment to high-quality healthy and nutritious food. It just can’t be beaten.

There are no less than 30 options to choose from at Otto Woo. These are some examples to tempt you: 

  • Chicken Bok Choy with Herbs, fresh squeezed lemon juice and homemade sweet chili sauce, served on steamed egg noodles.
