One of the best places in Wellington! Sharing plate style with soooo many options (i'm not a fan of Tofu but the crispy tofu is outstanding!)
Mr Go's is ALWAYS busy, however they have a great wait list system so you can go in and put your name down, head around the corner to Courtenay place for a drink or two and they will text you when you're table is ready.
