…What’s On
kingi reguarly hosts special events.
Find out what’s currently happening.
We’re back on board for this year’s Restaurant Month and our menu on offer is epic (if we do say so ourselves).
Head along with a friend, and for just $55 each, you can choose an antipasti platter to share, followed by a main of your choice from the set menu (which includes our iconic kingi burger, chickpea farinata with aubergine and peperonata, or line-caught snapper with fennel and crayfish bisque). Add on a dessert or glass of wine to round out your meal.
4 September | 6.30pm | $140pp
Join us for a night of celebration as we honour the incredible culinary journey of Tom Hishon, who has been at the heart of kingi for the past five years.
On Thursday 4 September at 6.30pm, we are hosting a special dinner that pays tribute to the dishes that have defined kingi during Tom’s tenure. It’ll be a trip down memory lane, with four courses (snack, entrée, main with side, dessert) that reflect Tom’s favourite dishes from the menu over the years.
We'd love you to join us for a very special evening spent celebrating kingi's commitment to sustainable, innovative and – of course – delicious food.
Secure your seat at the celebration.
Wednesday 30th July from 5pm
Live DJ sessions at kingi continue through Autumn! DJ Nick Takashima will play a set of soul, funk, house and jazzy beats to enjoy alongside a special drinks list, and kingi plates you know and love.
Come along for a dose of great tunes and book a table ahead of time if you’re in the mood for more than drinks and small bites.
Three-course dinner | Matched wines | $175pp
Tuesday 19 August 5.30pm
A little bit of mystery, a lot of great food. Taste of Tuawhiti is a progressive dinner across three of Auckland’s best restaurants: kingi, Café Hanoi, and Ghost Street, all tucked into Tuawhiti Lane in the Britomart neighbourhood.
Where you start is a surprise. Arrive at The Hotel Britomart Lobby Lounge, enjoy a glass of bubbles, and find out where your first course will be served. From there, you’ll move between restaurants, swapping places with other guests as you experience a curated three-course meal, with each course and wine match served in a different venue.
Expect fresh sustainably sourced seafood at kingi, with dishes like kingfish crudo with grapefruit, caper and bay leaf or pan-seared snapper with tomato crayfish bisque, fregola and fennel. At Café Hanoi, modern Vietnamese flavours take centre stage with dishes like ginger galangal chicken with pickled vegetables and green papaya salad with shrimp. And at Ghost Street, bold Beijing-inspired cooking shines in plates like honey glazed cha shao pork and steamed vegetables with aromatic fried rice.
It’s a journey through some of the city’s top kitchens with wine pairings, good company, and a little spontaneity thrown in.
