Food King Takeaway is a fish and chip shop at 627 Mount Wellington Highway in Mount Wellington, Auckland, with a 3.9 rating from 66 Google reviews. Reviewers often mention its Chinese dishes alongside the fried classics — wontons, chicken nibbles, sweet and sour pork — and praise the generous wok-cooked portions.
A suburban takeaway running a fryer and a wok side by side is a fixture of Auckland neighbourhoods, and choosing well means knowing which half of the menu to order from. Good fish and chips depend on batter light enough to stay crisp and fish thick enough to taste, with chips best cooked to order rather than sitting in the cabinet. On the Chinese side, the dish to trust is the one tossed through a hot wok as you wait, not scooped from a warmer.
On Mount Wellington Highway in the Mt Richmond area, Food King covers both moods — fish and chips in paper, or a box of chow mein.
