Everyday Takeaways: Chinese Takeaway in Ellerslie

Tucked into Marua Rd in Ellerslie, Everyday Takeaways is a Chinese takeaway offering a genuinely large menu — the kind of place where a family can order five different dishes and still find something for everyone. Orders go through the store's own online ordering system, with both pickup and delivery on offer.

A menu built for choice

The menu covers the full range of Chinese takeaway staples: fried rice in eight variations, Chinese soft noodle dishes, egg fu young, black bean sauce dishes and a run of curry-style plates served over white rice. There's also a Malaysian-influenced section with nasi goreng, bami goreng and a full run of satay options across chicken, steak, pork, prawn and seafood. For bigger orders, three family specials — Special A, B and C — combine multiple dishes designed to feed groups of two to six people in one order.

Beyond the Chinese menu

Everyday Takeaways also runs a deep-fried snacks section covering everything from classic fish and chips (using hoki, snapper or tarakihi) through to spring rolls, battered mussels, corn fritters, fish cakes and wontons. There's a hamburger range too, topping out with the Everyday Burger (steak, bacon, egg, cheese and veges) and the Super Burger, which adds ham and pineapple on top. A short toasted sandwich menu and a small drinks selection, including Bundaberg Ginger Beer and soft drinks in a few sizes, round out the offering.

What's popular

The store's own top sellers list highlights chips, chicken nibbles, potato fritters, hot dogs, fried wonton and sausages — small, shareable sides that turn up again and again as add-ons alongside bigger mains.
