Dominion Road is an arterial road in Auckland, New Zealand, running north–south across most of the Auckland isthmus. It is a major public transport route that carries 50,000 bus passengers each week.[1]

The road, which passes through mostly suburban areas (and several town centres), has a mix of shops.[2]

Many Asian restaurants line the road between Valley Road and Kensington Avenue. A "Dumplings on Dominion" Festival was held in 2020 to celebrate one aspect of Chinese cuisine, with 37 businesses taking part.[3] A sculpture of noodles being pulled by chopsticks from underground was exhibited in two places on Dominion Road between 2015 and 2021.[4]
