Stopped in for brunch while riding between Hastings and Te Awamutu. Yummy food, fantastic host and air conditioned comfort which is brilliant on a hot summer day. Ample parking out front too

The sign out from says Ha Long Bistro but the menu and store says Manuka cafe. Either way, they sell a series of cabinet and menu items. I stopped by and overheard that they have only been open a few weeks so it was nice to be able to try it since it was new. I came by for dinner and was able to get a table without booking. The menu consists of Vietnamese items and a few European dishes tagged on like fish and chips. Each table also had the wifi password which was nice.
I ended up going with the squid and pepper to start and the beef pho for the main. The squid was nice but the portion wasn't very big. It came with sweet chilli sauce but the sambal like chilli sauce on the table was delicious. It ended up going into everything. The pho broth had a nice flavour and the noodles and meat was nice too. The prices weren't too high but the portions weren't super big too.
This place has quite nice food and with it being open early, it might be a good place to stop before heading up the mountain for something tasty. I did notice they had pies and sweet treats in the cabinets. It is a nice place for some tasty food.

Family of four went out for dinner at Halong in Ohakune. The food came quickly but was completely inedible. I’m not usually one to complain but it tasted like it had been cooked a week ago. None of us ate our meals and we left without paying, we were hungry and very disappointed. 0/10

Do not recommend.
I ordered the crispy pork and when it came out I was hit with an overwhelming smell of urine and the meal tasted as such- I wasn’t even able to eat a full mouthful.
The vege’s on all 4 of our meals were supermarket frozen mix’s, the pork was dry and stale.
The summer rolls were also dry and lacked flavour.
Very disappointing and not worth it, I could make a more enjoyable and authentic Vietnamese dish at home.
We left hungry and unsatisfied.
0 Stars.

Basic breakfast/lunch food, nothing as fancy as the Manuka cafe that it used to be. Eggs were fairly well cooked, bacon was tasty, sausages nice, smoke salmon was tasty but just supermarket item. Basic presentation. Owners are nice but don’t have great English which proved a challenge to ask for a sweetener.

Food was pretty horrible, bland, dry, hard to eat. Service was slow for what we got, one order was wrong (fried rice came with noodles…), seating area was nice clean and cozy though. Wouldn’t recommend…
