In my humble opinion, the best fish and chips out West. Been coming here for several years and have…read morenever got a bad meal. They do a really good batter with the fish and I think that's what makes it good. Service is always very prompt - when we ring in an order, it's always waiting for us when we arrive. Their hot chips are good quality and they always give us a generous portion. They do a range of Chinese food too here and it is also quite good - considerably better than some of the rival takeaways in the neighbourhood. The Roberts Road location of these shops is quite popular with people on the weekends but you can generally get a park. There's a good selection of eateries here (Dominos, a bakehouse, Thai etc) but I reckon Blue Lagoon is probably the best of them. Make sure, if you get fish and chips, you get snapper as it's the best quality.

Why do I repeatedly ask Chinese restaurants for lemon chicken when no matter where it is from I…read morefeel grossed out by the sickly sweetness of the meal? This one had no exceptions except for the fact I only got half way through my ample size $11.00 meal and decided I could't bare any more... don't worry Green Jade, it's about me, not you. However, why was my chicken so stringy? Was that really chicken I ate? And Green Jade if you have been around for so long why do you still have hand written signs on the wall? Some of which have items scrubbed out with a texta (ok, that is an Aussie thing, I have recently heard that it has another name here.. .marker?!). So many questions Green Jade, so many questions...

Although I have only given this place two stars there isn't anything drastically wrong with the…read morefood or service that I have found, it is just oily deep fried cheap food. The service is relatively friendly and fast, with several staff members generally ready to help. When I have gone in or walked past they have always had customers so it is one of the more popular takeaways in Avondale. Even the local homeless guys use to pick this place as the one to stand next to in hope of free food, which probably had more to do with the shops obscure side wall than taste preference. The more I think about it perhaps I should make Shen's Takeaway two and a half stars??????

There is a lot of variety, so you can get exactly what you want. I tried to go back while in Auckland, but never made it. I do recommend this place. Sorry, no pictures.

I really wanted to like this place but I was terribly unimpressed. We got here late but there were…read moreno other diners. So we ordered two Chick'n and Fries Munch Boxes and a chocolate shake. I was surprised at how long our order took but FINALLY we retrieved out food from the counter and dug in. The Chick'n was disappointingly dry!!! I was hoping the fries would be similar to Belgian frites, but no, these were kinda basic thick cut french fries, no more, no less. The shake was good, though.

Every neighbourhood needs a decent greasy takeaways, and for Avondale, Golden Sun Takeaways is the…read moreplace to go. It's not a place to drive across town to get to, but it's perfectly good if you're nearby and want a cheap and easy dinner. The smorgasbord is where it's at here: I have ordered off the menu before but it seems to confuse some of the people there, and with a big container of food available for only $6, there's not much point going past the bain marie. Another good point is that because it's busy, the food gets made pretty often, so it's not sitting at food-poising incubating temperature!

I had passed this burger joint a few times walking along Queen Street and one night, tired and…read morehungry, I grabbed one to go. The place is bright and colorful, simple menu and what looked like good sandwiches. They also had drinks to go and fountain sodas. Unlike most restaurants in NZ, there wasn't water on the counter so I bought a bottle; they didn't tell me you could get it for free behind the counter. I ordered what sounded like a simple burger and some fries. I loved the packaging; cardboard wrapper that opened to hold it together. The beef quality was just okay; there was way too much sauce and mayo. The fries were too salty so I couldn't finish them. I had much better burgers later on my trip, this one isn't really worth the visit.

I would say though, a little secret not many will know, and will just top the meal off that much better, is to ask for chicken salt on the chips. It turns them from boring old standard chips to something MUCH more delicious.

These guys are very generous with their servings, I can rarely even finish a small serve in one sitting to be honest. It is open till 9 pm every night and opens at 10 am, so these guys work hard. They have recently reduced some of the chicken dish prices too. They are a few doors down from a Laundromat so if you need to get some washing done whilst you are there...

I don't know if I have ever eaten so much food for so little money!…read more I'm told Mr Zhou was the previous owner of New Flavour and plenty of dishes are the similar to what you'll find there but what surprised me is that, contrary to the name, Mr Zhou does a whole heap more than dumplings. Don't worry there's still plenty of those doughy delights but there's also hand-pulled noodles, savoury pancakes and this refreshingly zingy salad of cucumber and tofu that fans of New fFavour will know well. Seriously, how does this man find the time.... The interior isn't much to write home about with only a couple of cheap tables and chairs but the food comes out fresh and fast and of course, there's takeaway. You can even purchase the dumplings frozen for $2 less than the menu price to cook at home. I know what I'll be serving at my next dinner party....

It's not in a trendy area, it…read moredoesn't have much ambience, the service ain't much to write home about BUT the food is finger-lickin' good. The ambience is definitely "takeaway vibe". There are only about 3-4 small tables, and the food is served in plastic takeaway containers. On the night we visited they were doing a roaring takeaway trade. The owners used to run New Flavour, so they know their way around homemade dumplings, hand-pulled noodles & tasty Chinese food. The menu is very similar to New Flavour, so dumplings are a must - choose from such flavours, and my personal favourites, of Pork, prawn & chives, Mutton & onion and Egg, chives & prawn. You can order them steamed or fried, or even frozen to take them away & cook at home! Other dish recommendations are: Sliced dried tofu & cucumber salad if you can handle a tangy hit of chilli in the dressing, the Fried pancakes, any of the noodle dishes and the Deep-fried eggplant with pork mince stuffing. In fact, give me time & I'd probably list the entire menu! Would love to hear some other tried & true favourites though. Cheap, cheerful Chinese - you can't go wrong!
