As an American who likes to venture out of my comfort zone and try different foods, I loved bringing a group of friends and ordering dumplings, spring rolls, meat balls, pork ribs, bao, and even tripe. The spinning table is a great feature for sharing among friends, and the food is reasonably priced and delicious.

Upon recommendation from our friends, we stopped into Midnight Shanghai for dinner. We were seated…read moreon the back patio -- a covered open-air patio with limited seating. We ordered a lot of food including the red chili fish in broth, a tempura style cauliflower, scallion pancakes, mapo tofu, veggie gyoza (dumplings) and the veggie stir-fry noodles. The food comes out as it's ready, and dishes are great for sharing. This works out well for a long meal, except that our noodles came out about 20 minutes after the rest of the food (and we were about ready to leave). We ended up taking that whole dish to go (takeaway) after it was served. My personal favorite was the chili fish -- the broth was spicy and delicious -- but everything on the menu was great!

It's decent if you are craving Chinese food. Not necessarily a place I would recommend for eating…read morein Christchurch. We ordered the veggie fried rice and the stirfried eggplant and subbed the potato for tofu. We also got the potstickers. My aunt said the potstickers were just OK - the dumpling wrappers was way too thick. I thought they fried rice is actually very good. It had that wok/stirfried flavor that is so delicious. We did send back the vegetable dish because it was made with tofu that was tasting a little off. We brought it to the attention of the waitress and she promptly had it remade and provided her apologies. Service was good, and they have free Wi-Fi there as well. I wouldn't say this is the best Chinese food ever but it worked and satisfied my aunt's cravings.

Cheap and convenient Chinese food in Christchurch…read more It was late Sunday evening (close to 9 PM), and the Japanese restaurant Sakimoto was closed. My boyfriend was on the hunt for roast duck, but the nearby Thai restaurant, Sampan House Restaurant, didn't have great reviews. We set our eyes on Chong's, which was located very close to our hotel and had an expansive takeaway menu that included smoked duck, $24 for half, $46 for whole. We also got a small bowl of sour and spicy soup ($5 for small, $18 for large) and a small portion of steamed white rice ($2). The waitress quoted us 10-15 minutes, so we took a short walk around (the rather desolate) town before coming back to grab our food. The duck was pre-packaged in a vacuum-sealed bag (valid until Feb 5, 2018, so more than 2 weeks from today) and lukewarmly heated. Flavor wasn't bad, though it was too salty for my taste, so make sure you get some carbs to pair with the duck. The sour and spicy soup was indeed sour and mildly spicy, just like any ol' sweet and sour soup. Overall, not a bad choice for Chinese food that won't break your wallet.

This place has undergone multiple change in management over the years. It's gotten much cleaner,…read moremore modern, but the food is not the same as it used to be. I remember the days of picking out metal bits from the Szechuan sticky chicken. The place- spacious, mixture of 4 sweaters and large Chinese round table. Ample parking outside. The food- the main selling dishes are those that serve in a stone pot. Has a curry based flavor. You can pick your meat of preference. Very filling and not too spicy. Recommend not to order too many other dishes of you are getting this one. The Szechuan spicy chicken is juicer now, and not over powered with chili. I still preferred the old dry and spicy version but others in my table really enjoyed it. Drinks- a wall full of Chinese liquor for you to choose from. Tea is free. Service- we came here on a Sunday lunch time. Was pretty quiet. The waitress was a little slow and uncertain of the menu. Overall I would probably still come here again during next trip to Christchurch. More for nostalgia.

Great food. Terrible service…read more Been here for eat in once and take away twice. Eat in was with a party of 20 and they sent one person to take our orders who seemed very fresh and slow. When dishes started coming out well before all orders had been taken I asked the manager if we could have our orders taken faster. She was pretty rude and said no because they're busy. The food is delicious but the customer service is VERY poor. It's reasonably priced so in my opinion it's fine for take away but if you're trying to impress someone I wouldn't bring them here. I even watched the manager texting on her cell phone while customers waited to be seated. No friendly welcome. Just plain poor customer service. Shocking!
