Chow Foo Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant at 126 Pakuranga Road in Pakuranga, Manukau City, Auckland, with a 3.8 rating on Google. Chinese eating out is built around the shared table: dishes arrive from the kitchen as they're ready, so a group orders several over steamed rice — a braised or roasted meat, something green, perhaps a touch of chilli or ginger. Regulars often look past the printed menu, asking about the day's specials or heading straight for whatever is hanging in the window. Suburban spots frequently do a steady takeaway trade alongside their tables, so it pays to ask which dishes travel well. For a familiar Chinese meal without leaving the neighbourhood, Chow Foo sits right on Pakuranga's main road.
