However, if it's damn tasty Chinese food in massive portions for sweet bugger all money, then you've definitely come to the right place!! Judging by how full this place gets these days, word of mouth has spread - plenty of people are down for cheap and cheerful! Gather your friends or family, bring a bottle down (BYO only, no drinks menu - no corkage!!!), and get a few of the big dishes to share. Everything's great (and nothings more than $10-$15), but I recommend the salt and pepper squid, the beans, the satay beef (comes out sizzling!) and the sweet and sour pork. Awesome awesome place, just make sure you book ahead on a Fri/Sat night and don't expect great service or ambiance.

This place is a regular for me (they're literally just up the road from where I'm currently…read morestaying), and over time I've sampled the better part of the menu. It's a bit difficult to give an overall rating, as I have varying opinions on their different dishes. But on the whole I feel they deserve a solid 4 stars. We're currently going through a fried-rice phase, so that's dinner at least several times per week. They do a good job of it, generous portion sizes and succulent cuts of meat, particularly the chicken. I do find some of their fried-rice options a tad bland (easily remedied with a dollop of soy sauce, which we always have on hand), but their curry and satay options have more flavour to them. When I'm planning to eat with my dad, as I often do, I opt for the Singapore noodles, which are his favourite. They're very tasty, I find. As for their 'standard' noodles, they're also flavoursome, and certainly very filling, though a little too much so for my liking. They're quite heavy and 'gloopy'. Be prepared for a food-coma if you overindulge! But the flavours are certainly there. It's a good, hearty dish for the wintertime, though I feel I'll be giving it a miss in the coming months as it's just too heavy for a summer meal. We also occasionally opt for their fried options (fish and chips, et cetera), which are fine, well executed, nothing to write home about either way. I tried their sweet and sour pork a couple of times, and came away underwhelmed, which was disappointing as this tends to be my favoured option at places like this. It was decidedly more 'sour' than 'sweet,' with an unpleasant 'tang' to it. And... no rice!! I would think it'd be standard for s/s dishes to come with rice, as they're sorely in need of something to 'cut' their rich flavour. Other places I frequent all provide rice as a matter of course with s/s options. Service is always pleasant enough, somewhat matter-of-factly but then this place is always bustling and certainly doesn't need to pander to customers.

The food was delicious. The standout was that it was noticeably fresh which is so key for takeaways. I would def go there again - they also have European food but I'm not so keen on European fried food from a Chinese joint (it could be amazing but I can't say) They are open 7days too - a good Sunday night place if you can't be bothered cooking after a busy weekend

Naturally as is just opened it is brand spanking new and spotless , nice interior decor and the service is very good. Your order is taken at the table and after giving ours it was not long until the food was on the table.

We had the Sichuan Dang Dang noodle , sliced pork with fish sauce and another pulled noodle. There is of course take away available, the price is as you would expect and there is a large picture menu on the wall for you to see as well as the ones brought to the table.

It is kinda stuck away on the edge of an industrial area of Auckland's north shore and if you aren't familiar with the area may be a little hard to find at first.

Amongst all the dishes have tasted in the time we have been a recent one has stood out as the best and most delicious we have had. It is the fish cooked in soy sauce, tofu and fried corncake ( 贴饼子炖鱼 ). Outstanding and worth getting the odd little fish bone stuck annoyingly between the teeth.

Its nothing really special nor authentic; plus the selection isn't very deep; just a few dishes to choose from. What's worse is that the portion is really small. We ordered the Hainan Chicken Rice at $26 and the Char Kuay Teow for $24. At these types of prices I was expecting it to be authentically spectacular but I was very disappointed. This price is a good $10 to $15 more than any other Malaysian Food restaurant in Auckland. Hence, this is probably the first and last time here, as long as there are other Malaysian Restaurants to choose from!

Good because they don't have to turn the table for the next group that's already waiting at the door. Bad because I have to question if everything is made fresh today. For today though. I ordered my usual selection of yum char musts. And the beef tripe is probably the most flavourful that I have had in Auckland. That been said, everything else were all just on par with everywhere else. The price is also very reasonable. I am sorry that I can't give you a breakdown, because I don't even know what they cost individually. Lol. But I paid $38 for a mix of 7 yum char items. So it works out to be 5 and a bit per?

The egg tarts were good, and the shiau mai was good too. Also, unlike the other yum char places in Auckland, the portion is four items!
