T & G Takeaways is a Chinese takeaway on Main Street in Ōtaki, on the Kapiti Coast, holding a 3.8 Google rating. A good Chinese takeaway in a small New Zealand town usually wears two hats: the classic line-up of sweet-and-sour pork, chow mein and fried rice, alongside the battered fish, chips and burgers of the neighbourhood counter. Most dishes are cooked to order, so it pays to ring ahead on Friday and Saturday evenings when the queues build. Regulars tend to ask what moves fastest, since the staples a shop turns over all day are usually the freshest bet, and it never hurts to check whether a listed price covers a full or half portion. Sitting on Ōtaki's Main Street, T & G Takeaways is a handy stop for locals and travellers passing through this Kapiti Coast town.
