Operating six days a week from late morning into the evening, this local counter is built on a straightforward proposition: reliable, hot comfort food prepared to order, ready for pickup on the way home or delivery right to your door.

Chippy Favourites and Handcrafted Burgers

At the core of the menu are the classic seafood and fryer offerings that define any great local takeaway. Customers can choose between staple hoki fillets and premium battered snapper, complemented by generous scoops of golden chips, kumara wedges, and potato fritters. Bite-sized treats like squid rings, battered mussels, oysters, and hot dogs on sticks round out the traditional counter selection.

Burger lovers are equally well looked after with a range built around Angus beef patties.

For those seeking seafood between bread, options include fish burgers, Cajun-spiced hoki, and battered snapper burgers.

Wok Specialties and Malaysian Flavours

Beyond the fryer, Point Taken runs a comprehensive selection of Asian dishes. The wok section spans Cantonese takeaway staples such as sweet and sour pork, beef in black bean sauce, chicken egg fu yoong, and combination chow mein served with crispy noodles. For noodle and rice fans seeking a bit of heat, the kitchen also turns out Malaysian-inspired favourites, including spicy nasi goreng, Singapore vermicelli noodles, and aromatic bowls of curry laksa.
