Royal Cuisine Takeaways & Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant and takeaway at 115 Symonds Street in Royal Oak, Auckland, rated 4.0 from 177 Google reviews. Reviewers praise the generous meat servings, fresh crisp vegetables and good value for money, though opinions on individual dishes and service vary.
Chinese takeaways are a fixture of suburban Auckland, and many run a broad menu pairing Cantonese-style stir-fries, rice and noodle dishes with everyday fare such as burgers and fish and chips, which is handy when the household cannot agree on dinner. The tell of a good one is the vegetables: tossed quickly in a hot wok, they should arrive bright and crisp rather than limp. Regulars tend to stick to the dishes that move fastest and to phone orders ahead at peak dinnertime.
For Royal Oak locals and anyone passing along Symonds Street, it is a convenient stop for an easy midweek meal.
