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.

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!

First, let me say, Fabiano and Ali (hope I remembered and spelled their names correctly) were very friendly and answered all my questions. I'm pretty experienced when it comes to shawarma, but I've never had one quite like this. There were some odd (for this type of dish) toppings that came with it and I'm glad I didn't exclude any of them. I always try to have faith in a restaurant when they put their own spin on an item, and boy oh boy, am I glad I didn't doubt the build of this wrap. It was a very unique blend of flavors. I also ordered 3 pieces of falafel that were tasty with just the right amount of crunch. I'm now a fan. I will definitely be back. Thanks, fellas!

With the occasional Chinese restaurant sprinkled in. Because they're in every country. But Thai? From New Zealand? And pretty much the entire crew are Kiwis?? No fruit isn't running this restaurant that's what they call themselves here. This place though.. It was good. Really good! The inside has an upscale look but you don't need to dress classy to eat here. They don't overdo the fact that they are an Asian restaurant. You know how some places can be.. Oooh let's put a tiger in that corner, and oh a Buddha in that corner, maybe a temple print wallpaper.. No no. This place keeps it simple. Staff was great. They don't work for tips in New Zealand but still cared about me just as much. Let's talk food!! The menu runs deep. Like 50 numbers deep. We ordered 3 items. 38-Black Pepper Stir Fry, 20-Pad Thai, 12-Tom Kar which is a soup. Everything had such great flavor. Lots of meat in our dishes to. 3 items and it was plenty for 3 of us. And they make sure to label the menu to let you know what is spicy, and extra spicy. So no surprises here! Oh they also have a small section for Vietnamese food. Shutout to my Viet friends. But.. We didn't order any of that. 5 stars for great food and service!
