They host banquets here!…read more There's a huge room reserved for event dining and a separate area for restaurant dining! Decent staffs floor and dance area. The event venue can seat about 160 people. The food is good for wedding dishes. Service was okay and below par. They didn't come around to gather the small plates for the second main courses to be comfortably delved upon eating on the large plates below the small. They were running around serving the dishes and picking up the dishes. I didn't even bother to ask for water refill and tea. The highlights were the fried lobster balls, lobster with long noodles and steamed soy sauce fish. Good place to accommodate big parties.

You can order all your standard Chinese takeaway options, plus all the regular deep fried anything you want. It's handy and it's local, and we go there frequently, but it's not necessarily the best Chinese takeaways we've ever had. The servings are really generous though and it's great value for money!

I'll be honest I wasn't expecting much from this place when looking at the run-down condition that…read morethe inside and outside of the building is in. But I was pleasantly surprised, especially by the portion of food that I got. One Chinese dish was enough to last me for like two days, and would be pretty good for a cheap family feed. The food itself was ok, the texture was a little bit gross though. Like many Chinese take-away places these days, you can order both Chinese food and fish and chips from Shangri La. A little bit of refurbishment wouldn't go astray. To me, an owner who doesn't put the effort into how their business looks probably doesn't care too much about the quality of the food either. However, the food is adequate enough here.

Only a minute the food come out, hot pot supposed to be cooked well not just one minute, which tells me it's not cooked as hot pot just a pre cooked food put some gravy on it.

Will never visit again certain not recommend to anyone!

I haven't had Northern Chinese food in so long! Xi'an Food Bar looked legit; I didn't realize they…read morehave 6 locations around Auckland so we checked out the closest one to us in Panmure. We dropped in on a holiday Monday evening (around 7:30pm). This place is a hole in the wall. The ladies working here only speak Mandarin (very minimal English) which just makes it that much more authentic. The menu is split into Chinese burgers, noodle soup, dry noodle, Sinkiang style stretch noodle, salad (more like appetizer/cold meats), dumplings/wontons and other. The lady even brought us their iPad that had photos of all their food items. I wanted their cold noodles (#10) but it was all sold out. - Cumin lamb burger (#8) ($5.00 NZD) - probably one of the best Chinese burgers I've had. Fresh, hot, crispy and the lamb was perfectly seasoned. - Hand-pulled noodles with Xi'an style braised pork (#38) ($12.50 NZD large) - this is one of their most popular dishes. The noodles were fantastically toothsome. So addictively good. Braised pork was tender but a bit salty at the end/bottom of the bowl. It also came with some cabbage and cilantro. - Hand-pulled noodles with pickled tuber mustard and pork (#30) ($11.50 NZD large) - this came in a soup format. The pickled mustard was a nice contrast to the other dishes. Broth was healthy and tasted clean if that makes sense. - Pork and chive dumpling in sour soup (#103) ($11.50 NZD for 20 pieces) - the dumplings were delicious. Generous filling. Soup had just the right amount of sweet and sour. Excellent first dinner in Auckland! Hope they don't run out of cold noodles next time.

I have been to this place twice out of desperation as their prices are pretty cheap and their fish…read moreand chip combo deals are generously priced. However it seems as though you get what you pay for: the people behind the counter lack basic western customer service skills. The lady behind the counter treats you like a piece of ***, like when I went up to the counter she asked me "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" and after paying threw my EFTPOS card on the counter. The young guy serving me the first time snatched my EFTPOS card off me like there was naked chick in the back waiting for him but at least the man behind the counter smiles when you walk in. The chips are average and the fish is alright, we've found a few hairs but like I said you get what you pay for. I won't be coming back here again and wouldn't recommend this place to anybody unless they were desperate.

But it just didn't really hit the spot in terms of taste. The Satay Chicken on veg was a bit tasteless, and was lacking enough satay sauce to actually make it satay chicken. The fish & chips side of things is alright though, if that's what you're looking for.
