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.

My babe wasn't budging on the fried rice and chips so that's what we had, and I have to say it was pretty darn tasty! Even for a non fried rice convert like myself. The boy says the fish isn't good though, pretty oily and greasy so stick with the favorites and you'll be fine!

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. You do have to help yourself to plates, bowls, chopsticks etc .We ordered what we have had before from one of thier other restaurants and it was just as good. 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. Every time we come is busy , even on Monday night's which tells you a lot about a place, yes? 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. Can highly recommend to others who are after good simple chinese cuisine. At a not too bad price as well.

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!

This is probably the least busy yum char place that I have been to in Auckland during a weekday…read more That can both be good and bad. 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? And if you know yum char, then that's 1 top, 3 large and 3 medium selections.

Pretty good! Went for lunch on a Monday (public holiday) and the restaurant was about 80% full. We…read morewere surprised at the variety of dishes for yum char! There were at least 20+ types of dishes that was circulated around. For four people, we ended up spending $80 for 13 items (incl. 10% holiday surcharge). Overall, the parking was convenient, the variety definitely there, and the cleanliness and atmosphere were good! I'd come back again if I'm on the shore. 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! (other places only have 3 portions) Price Breakdown: Tea $1 per person Medium is $4.80 Large is $5.80 Special is $6.50

I had heard through the grapevine that this was just the best ever pizza found on the North Shore…read more So of course I pestered my partner to take us there for a takeout pizza mid week. I arrived around five thirty and the popular pizzeria had a few guests eating pasta on the front outdoor seating area. The owner who bakes all the pizza's himself is a friendly and humorous Greek man, and was only too happy to point out the fave choices of pizza for us first time visitors. The Top picks were Greco, a delicious topping of lamb, red onion, olives, peppers, tzatziki, basil and parsley (My first pick also). And the Quattro Stagioni which had Salami, Ham, Prawns and Mushroom, this was sensational (my second pick). As it was the premiere visit, we opted for the two small pizzas, costing both under 18 dollars each, and let me tell you, I thought I could have eaten a pizza to myself, however the servings were so great that I only managed about 2 pieces each. Beautiful pizza base , and the toppings are just divino divine! I will be back as soon as I can, to try more pizza flavours, and a pasta dish for sure.
