Reviewers like the wontons and chips, friendly owners and plenty of options, and note it is on a quieter street beside a dairy.
A good Chinese takeaway cooks to order in a hot wok, so rice and noodles are fluffy rather than greasy, sauces coat rather than drown the meat and fried items are crisp. Combo meals are good value for a family, so look for ones that mix rice, noodles and a meat dish, and try a classic such as sweet and sour pork or wontons. Ordering online or by phone for a set pickup time saves waiting, and eating soon after collection keeps fried items at their best. Check the bag before you leave, and ask staff what is freshest if you are choosing between several dishes.
For Mangere Bridge locals, it is a friendly neighbourhood takeaway for Chinese dishes, fish and chips and combos.
