Archived: Pōni

Pōni is now closed.

Stay tuned for exciting news about our upcoming modern Chinese fusion restaurant, set to open later this year.

Pōni is an all-day Asian-inspired, rosé-centric eat-and-drinkery with a convivial atmosphere that encourages fun, playfulness, high energy and put simply good times. A place to socialise, mix, mingle, be and be seen, The Poni Room is set to lift the energy in Auckland’s hospitality scene as the place to let your hair down, party to a rotation of leading DJs and throw events to be remembered. With a design concept that evokes a feeling of being underwater in a dining den tucked inside a coral reef, The Poni Room’s seafood-centric menu celebrates the best of the catch from New Zealand’s neighbouring waters. The food offering derives inspiration from Japanese and South-East Asian cuisines with a whimsical high-low approach to dining - a cheerful experience which sees diners sharing and conversing with a mate, or ten, over the dishes’ eclectic messy, sticky, sweet and salty flavours and presentations.
