Kuen Loong Takeaway

About Kuen Loong Takeaway

Kuen Loong Takeaway is a community takeaway shop located on Main Road in Waikanae, serving the Kāpiti Coast with a classic Kiwi-style blend of traditional fish and chips, wok-tossed Chinese meals, burgers, and fried snacks. Whether stopping in for a quick lunch or picking up a weekend family dinner, the kitchen provides a broad and reliable menu prepared fresh to order.

The menu spans everything from battered fish, potato fritters, and gourmet seafood fritters to Cantonese-style chow mein, fried rice, egg foo yoong, and pan-fried dumplings. Offering both phone and online ordering with secure digital payments, Kuen Loong Takeaway provides a convenient local takeaway option for lunch and dinner pickups throughout the week.

Kuen Loong Takeaway: Waikanae's Dependable Spot for Fish & Chips and Wok Classics

Situated along Main Road in Waikanae, Kuen Loong Takeaway represents a quintessential part of New Zealand's suburban food culture: the dual-kitchen takeaway. For decades, Kiwis have relied on local shops that seamlessly balance the deep-fryer and the fiery wok, catering equally to cravings for crunchy chips and comforting Chinese noodle dishes. At Kuen Loong, that long-standing tradition continues with a vast menu that spans everything from tarakihi fillets to stir-fried chow mein.

Whether dropping by for an affordable mid-week lunch or collecting a bundled family feed on a busy Friday evening, visitors find a steady counter service focused on hearty portions and familiar comfort food.

From the Fryer: Classic Fish, Chips & Kiwi Treats

The deep-fried side of Kuen Loong's counter covers every standard fixture of the local chippy. Freshly scooped chips, battered fish fillets, hot dogs on sticks, and potato fritters headline the daily top sellers. Seafood enthusiasts can look beyond standard fillets to battered Pacific oysters, mussels, scallops, and fresh tarakihi fillets. For a distinctly New Zealand coastal touch, the kitchen also turns out gourmet mussel fritters and rich paua fritters.

Those looking to feed a crowd without navigating the individual items will appreciate the pack specials, which bundle together fish, nuggets, sausages, fritters, and generous scoops of chips for varied group sizes. And for dessert, the menu delivers childhood nostalgia in the form of deep-fried donuts, pineapple fritters, banana fritters, and battered Moro bars.

The Wok Kitchen: Dumplings, Fried Rice & Set Dinners

Alongside the fryer stations, Kuen Loong operates a full Chinese takeaway kitchen. Dumpling lovers can order one dozen pan-fried dumplings stuffed with either pork and cabbage or chicken and vegetables. The wok menu covers a broad range of Cantonese and regional favourites, including egg foo yoong omelettes, sweet and sour pork, ginger beef, Indonesian-style nasi goreng, and satay dishes prepared with steak, chicken, or roast pork.

For solo diners wanting multiple dishes in a single order, Kuen Loong offers three-course combo meals. These sets pair classic wok specialities—such as steak in black bean sauce, ginger beef, or satay roast pork—with lemon chicken or sweet and sour pork alongside steamed rice.

Ordering and Experience

Operating for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday, plus Tuesday evening service, Kuen Loong Takeaway caters to takeaway customers on the go. An online ordering system allows patrons to select their pickup times and pay securely in advance, reducing wait times at the counter during peak dinner rushes. Topped off with an old-school lineup of milkshakes whipped with real ice cream, it remains a steadfast takeaway staple on the Kāpiti Coast.
