I like this place but am giving them one star because I phone ordered a bacon burger w/ cheese and sweet n sour pork. Burgers great, but they obviously just filled a container from the smorgasbord i.e. it is always piping hot when fresh and I arrived 12 minutes after phoning. The whole point is to not just buy and fill a container from 'who knows what people having been doing' and it's never hot enough. Very unimpressed. My advice is to not phone order for items that are also in the smorgasbord, ensure you are instore.

11/12/2025 @8pm ordered Tarakihi and chips. That fish was not right. Very bitter off smell and tasted like it smelt. Got 3 other people to try a small piece and all agreed its rotten. First time Ive nearly drove my food back just for them to smell it. Weird tho this place has always been awesome thus why i cannot 1 star. What a shame this can happen.

Not good! Food is very greasy and way too sweet. Many take away dishes like chips come in paper wrap!? With no container. Go somewhere else

My family has been coming here for 12 years and the food has always been the same: amazing. The fish burgers are delicious and very generous. The smorgasbord is always delicious. Pictured is the fishburger special and smallest size smorgasbord container.

Quality fish and chips. Short wait for me getting lunch as a walk in. I would recommend ringing for dinner orders as I would expect this to be busier based on how good the food was.

Good proportions of meat and vegetables, including carrots, beans, Broccoli, Cauliflower, celery in the Chinese meals, lots of choices with pork, beef ,chicken ,shrimps. Fresh vegetables with still some crunch in them . No excessive oil so not fatty . Short waiting time. Very popular place

Food was beautiful! Cooked to perfection. Loveee that I can order/pay online & am sent a text to let me know when it'll be ready. Love the $9 special, perfect for one person and the fish burgers included are BOMB. The Cinnamon donuts are my fav -better then the chocolate! The smorgasbord is a lil on the pricy side but damn is it good.

Tasty fresh fish & chips. Very busy which is a good sign. Good range of options including Chinese smorgasbord. Lovely batter on the fish, not at all greasy, chips well cooked, generous portions.
