Koru Oceans Fish N Chips Chinese Takeaway on Tamaki Dr in Glendowie, Auckland, pairs classic fish and chips with Chinese takeaway dishes under one roof, and holds a 3.6 rating on Google. The double act of fish and chips with a Chinese menu is a proper Kiwi takeaway tradition, and the best of them fry to order rather than letting food sit in a warming cabinet. It always pays to ask if the fish is battered fresh: crisp batter comes straight from the fryer, while anything left waiting goes leathery fast. On the Chinese side, the dishes that turn over quickest — fried rice, chow mein, sweet-and-sour standards — are usually the safer bets. Friday nights and sunny weekend afternoons are the busy spell along this coast, so ordering ahead saves a wait. With the shoreline just along the road, Koru Oceans is a handy stop for a paper-wrapped dinner on Glendowie's stretch of Tamaki Drive.
