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.

Tony's Takeaways is your classic Chinese takeaway store. I went there for the first time last week…read moreand, as always, decided to test them by purchasing a spring roll. Spring rolls are the ultimate way to determine if a takeaway store is worth returning to, so naturally I had to get one at Tony's. And I admit, I was a little disappointed. Much to my surprise, the spring roll tasted like cinnamon. I couldn't really figure it out. It wasn't terrible as such, just unexpected.... That being said, the fried rice was brilliant. It wasn't oily and didn't make you feel guilty for eating most of the container - which I did. The portions were good and prices were what you'd expect - about $10 for fried rice. Tony's chips were also pretty good - crisp and crunchy; just the way I like them, and with a good amount of salt too. There's nothing worse than not enough salt on your hot chips, so while their spring rolls were a bit strange, you can rely on Tony's to supply good fried rice, sausages and chips. Bonus: Tony himself is pretty cool. He was very smiley and chatty and made the wait for the food fly by

If you are out this way, you are better off going to the Blue Lagoon on Roberts Road if you want fish and chips. I tried their Chinese food as well and again I was non-plussed - what I ate was quite greasy and I did not enjoy it. We're not exactly spoiled for choice for eateries in Te Atatu South but I usually venture further afield (eg to Lincoln Road) if I want takeaway on the weekend. Having said that, I went in and got a portion of hot chips not so long ago and I must say they were quite good. We could do with a good takeaway in the area but until that comes along we have to make do with this joint.

They're food is delicious, my favourite are their chicken chow mein and bami goreang, and they have the best hot chips. The food comes out really quickly and it's always hot, and they'll cater it to your own specifications. The only thing is that they are a tad bit expensive for a take away shop, and they've put their prices up a few times too. They can get pretty busy because they are quite popular in the area, but they've got enough seats, a TV and heaps of magazines to read while you wait for your order.

The food is pretty authentically Thai alright but I find the whole experience of going there a little underwhelming. You don't mind cheap and cheerful but I firmly believe there's better places to eat in the peninsula - the Thai Peninsula nearby comes to mind. It's a little dearer but the food is of a much better quality. The portions are bigger too so eating there probably works as much value as this place. As regards the friendliness of the staff, they were polite but didn't go out of their way to ask how I was or anything. I think if I moved out of Te Atatu tomorrow, I would not be darkening the door of this joint again.

I actually get the same thing every time I come here because it's so good. The same two people are always working whenever I come in, and they are super friendly and will bring you your food in the car if you accidently wait in there for too long. The place isn't the cleanest looking, but by no means dirty. The food is always hot and exactly how I order it. One of my favourite Thai places in Auckland and definitely the best out west.

I ordered a chicken meal from here, and while the skin was nice and crispy, the rest of the chicken was dry and tasteless. They need to put much more salt on their food just to give it a bit of life. Plus it's expensive. I mean it's probably the same price as most other roast places but because it doesn't taste very good I felt ripped off. So I don't come here often unless I don't have any other choices.

Since I was in that neck of the woods for other reasons I allowed my rubber arm to be twisted. It is fried chicken after all, no waffles which gives it a black mark right off the bat. The 2 piece pack with the mysterious "honey roll" which makes no sense in any context, amazingly good chips and a potato and gravy. - the P & G had not nearly enough gravy and my companion felt the same. Now, to the chicken. I had one "original" recipe and I must say it is good, and the chicken itself is plump, moist and edible (unlike some, looking at you, KFC) and one the special-of-the-moment Garlic and herb crust which was nice but overpowering by the end. Would not get again as I liked the original. They are clean, quick and tasty and offer unusual specials like oreo biscuits (biscuits in the american sense) so I would come here if in the area and hope they expand city-ish soon!

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.
