Fast Horse Takeaways is a takeaway shop at 26 St George St, Papatoetoe, Manukau City, Auckland, with a 4.2 rating from 78 Google reviews. Customers single out the chicken fried rice, chicken chow mein and rice specials, and the friendly family service — though a few recent reviews are less happy about flavour and portions.
At a good Chinese-style takeaway the staples come out of big, fast-turning batches, so the dish a shop is known for is usually the freshest on the menu — order the house speciality first. Timing matters too: the dinner rush means a short wait but food straight from the wok, while quiet hours can leave earlier batches under the warmer too long. Regulars who have ordered the same meal for years are the surest guide to what's worth having.
On St George Street in the heart of Papatoetoe, Fast Horse Takeaways is a handy spot to put that advice to the test.
