I've eaten here three times now and I honestly don't know how this place stays in business. The food is often cold, greasy and tastes like it has been reheated. The made-to-order dishes are just as bad as the pre-cooked food in the cabinet. Never again.
Surprisingly tasty and good quality for a small stall in a food court. Fried chicken on rice was really rich in flavour. Most of the bowl was just rice though but even then they've on its own is still tasty too.
What can I say? Quantity over quality? That’s about it and regretted it once I had eaten there. Would much rather have less at a higher quality and if that is you don’t come here. Felt heavy and sluggish all day after it. Plenty of other places in Takapuna at a much higher quality level and to be honest not much of a difference in price. Food is as edible, don’t get me wrong, just now for me. It’s an avoid for me!
Canto cuisine ran by northern Chinese. But taste ok. Reasonably priced will be back

get the pork or szechuan chicken or dumplings with fry rice as these are real yummy. nice family business cook like mum made
Food should be consistent. Ordered wonton noodle one day, lots of spring onion and clear broth which wss awesome. The second time we came back, no spring onion at all, and broth tasted like more of soy sauce and less tasty. Otherwise, fair price.
