So this is probably my guilty secret. I have been having Chinese takeaway here as long as I can remember, and nothing else will really do. I love authentic dumplings and real Chinese food too, but holy moly, sometimes nothing beats a good old fashioned local Chinese takeaway with chips to boot.
I will always order the same thing (probably like most of us at our local chippie) - beef and black bean sauce on noodles (they use the crunchy fatty noodles we all love and know we shouldn't eat), combination fried rice, chicken chop suey and sweet and sour won tons. Man do I love won tons. The best thing about the won tons from here is that they are full of mince meat. You know how if you get mall Chinese, the won tons are pretty much all deep fried with a tinsy tiny morsel of meat in there. Not here. And it makes me happy.
This is a Takapuna institution right? If you've lived in Taka, you'll know it. It's pretty dire inside, so don't ever eat there. Take it home and eat yourself into a food coma. Don't forget to order their chips either! Salty and delicious, they are never mushy - always crispy.
Tip: portions are huge. If you're ordering four dishes, you will need at least four VERY hungry people and you'll still have leftovers. Probably a lot of leftovers. read more
