Oceanview Takeaways

About Oceanview Takeaways

Oceanview Takeaways sits on Papamoa Beach Road in Papamoa Beach, Tauranga, serving the classic Kiwi takeaway pairing of fish and chips alongside a full Chinese-style menu. The fryer handles fresh snapper, fresh tarakihi, gurnard and top-selling hoki, plus chips by the scoop, kumara and garlic chips, and a deep-fried lineup that runs from potato, paua and mussel fritters to hot dogs, crab sticks, spring rolls and even a chocolate bar for dessert.

The Asian side of the menu is unusually broad for a chippy: nine fried rices including Young Zhou, egg-noodle chow meins, chop suey served with rice, egg fu young omelettes, sweet and sour or lemon sauce dishes, black bean, curry or satay sauce on rice, ginger beef and ginger chicken, nasi goreng, Singapore fried noodles and Chinese soups. Burgers from kids' size up to The Works, toasted sandwiches, and eleven numbered Family Specials plus Packs A-D make it easy to feed a household or a whole group.

Ordering is pickup only, with a secure online ordering system accepting Visa, Mastercard and PayPal. Pickup runs from 11:30am to 8pm Wednesday to Sunday, and from 3:30pm to 8pm on Mondays and Tuesdays. Note that online pricing differs from shop pricing.

Oceanview Takeaways, Papamoa: Fish & Chips and Chinese Takeaway Classics on Papamoa Beach Road

On Papamoa Beach Road, a short stroll from the sand, Oceanview Takeaways runs a friendly double act: a proper fish-and-chip counter and a full Chinese-style takeaway menu under one roof. It is the kind of place where one order can cover the whole household — a scoop of chips and a piece of fish for some, a container of chicken fried rice for others, and a deep-fried Moro bar to share on the way home.

The chippy side of the menu

The fryer is the heart of the shop, and the fish list goes well beyond the usual. Fresh snapper and fresh tarakihi sit alongside gurnard and hoki — the shop's top seller — all fried to order. Chips come by the scoop or the half-serve, with kumara chips and garlic chips for those who like to mix things up.

Around the fish sits the full cast of chippy classics: potato fritters, hot dogs and battered sausages, crab sticks, mussels, oysters and scallops, squid rings, wontons, spring rolls and curry rolls. Even the fritters get a dedicated following — banana and pineapple for the sweet tooth, sweet corn and meat patties for something savoury, and paua and mussel fritters for a proper Kiwi treat. Dessert, unsurprisingly, is deep fried too, right down to the Moro bar.

A full Chinese-style kitchen

What really sets Oceanview apart from a straight fish-and-chip shop is the breadth of the Asian menu. Fried rice comes in nine versions, from vegetable and egg through steak, chicken, pork, prawn and seafood, up to the Young Zhou specialty. Chow mein is built on egg noodles, chop suey comes served with rice, and egg fu young — the classic Chinese omelette — runs through the same line-up of meats and seafood.

Then there are the sauced dishes. Sweet and sour or lemon sauce over pork, chicken, fish or wontons; black bean, curry or satay sauce spooned over rice with your choice of meat or seafood; ginger beef, ginger chicken and squid in a ginger sauce from the hot dishes; nasi goreng and bahmie goreng for an Indonesian turn; chicken with cashew nuts and Singapore fried noodles for something different. Soups round it out — wonton and BBQ pork, wonton and noodles, or a comforting chicken and sweet corn.

Built for families

The Family Specials are where this menu makes sense for busy households: eleven numbered combinations that pair Chinese mains with fried-rice sides, or stack fish, fritters, sausages, hot dogs and burgers with a big serve of chips. Smaller Packs A through D do the same job for one or two, and the burger list runs from a kids' burger to The Works, loaded and unapologetic. Toasted sandwiches — egg, cheese, ham, bacon, chicken, steak and more — cover the simple appetites.

Order ahead, pick up warm

Everything is takeaway, and ordering ahead is easy: the shop runs its own online menu with secure payments by Visa, Mastercard and PayPal, so you can pre-order and collect at 548 Papamoa Beach Road. One thing to note — online pricing differs from shop pricing, so the checkout total may not match the in-store board.

Hours run late enough for a proper dinner rush: from 11:30am to 8pm Wednesday through Sunday, and from 3:30pm to 8pm on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you are timing a beach day around a feed, the midday window midweek is your friend.

Whether it is a scoop of chips after the seafront, a family pack of sweet and sour pork and fried rice, or fresh snapper for the table, Oceanview Takeaways keeps both halves of the Kiwi takeaway tradition — the chippy and the Chinese kitchen — alive and sizzling on Papamoa Beach Road.
