Sky Horse Takeaway at 42 Wakelin Rd in Beachlands, Manukau City, is a Chinese-style takeaway with a 4.5 rating from 245 Google reviews, praised for its fast, friendly service and reasonable prices. Reviewers single out the wonton soup, sweet and sour pork, egg fooyong and classic fish and chips, and note that it is strictly a takeaway with no dine-in.
A good combined-menu takeaway runs the wok and the fryer with equal care, so nothing sits about in a warmer — expect food cooked to order and a short wait at the dinner rush. Locals learn to phone their order ahead on busy nights. And with nowhere to sit, the payoff is a hot parcel for the drive home or, in a seaside village, the beach.
For a village like Beachlands, having a dependable, well-liked takeaway at the end of the road is no small thing.
