TAI ER Sauerkraut Fish Makes Its New Zealand Debut!
TAI ER has officially landed in Lorne Street, bringing its wildly popular Sauerkraut Fish to New Zealand for the very first time!
Specializing in Suancai & Fish—a bold twist on traditional Chinese pickled fish—TAI ER transforms a 3,000-year-old classic into a modern culinary icon. Their signature dish is tangy, spicy, and irresistibly tender, with deboned fish and no tail, so you can dive straight into the flavour.
But the feast doesn’t stop there. Explore a full menu of mouthwatering Sichuan-style snacks, including:
-
Tender beef in chilli sauce
-
Crispy prawns topped with mustard
-
Egg-coated glutinous rice rolls drizzled with brown sugar
And yes—free tea, rice, and soft serve ice cream are all part of the experience.

Park for $2.50 per hour, to a maximum of $10.50 on evenings and weekends at the Victoria St car park. Find out more.
