“Authentic Chinese dumplings at affordable prices. Staff are super friendly and caring. Kindly help us placing our order because they have too many different kinds of combination of things you can order. Dumpling are yummy and juicy. Table service is super quick too.”

“After having local food for 10 days. We are craving for Chinese food. We manage to try this restaurant visited by many Chinese living in Christchurch. It is Hongkong style food. Pickled duck wings. Steam blue cod fish. Ginger and spring onion Venison hot plate. Crispy skin Peking duck. Steamed oyster with vermicelli. All cooked to perfection and taste like food eaten in Hongkong. . Food : 5/5 Service : 4/5 Price : $$$ Place : 3/5”

“I totally recommend the satay chicken, which is what I always order from any such place. (I have tried a LOT of places) It doesn't come with rice or noodles but I supply that myself (good old Uncle Bens!). The chicken and vegetables are really chunky, cooked just right, just the right amount of sauce. With added rice (at home) this is enough for two very generous meals. I will go back there for my satay chicken fix!”

“Awesome wee spot. Lovely service. Amazing food. Can’t speak highly enough of Young Sing Takeaways. Our favourite spot to get our dinner. We will always be coming here. Great service, great food, great hospitality!!”

“Visited MK with family. Absolutely amazing menu options with outstanding food quality and quantity. The staff is so friendly. Would recommend for large groups. We had pecking duck, teriyaki drumsticks, Mae Goreng (veg noodles spicy), spring rolls. The food was served quick and portion sizes are quite big”

On the plate at Ancestral, the idea is simple, bistro‑style and well judged. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. A sensible spend for the spread.

Malaysia Delights Riverside Kitchen keeps things classic fish‑and‑chips and focused on flavour. A riverside backdrop rounds out the stop. Fish lands crisp with light batter and chips stay tidy. Meals reach the pass promptly.

“Street food at great prices. $16.90 for delicious noodles. Super quick service. Definitely worth a visit.”

Hai Sing Takeaways leans into a simple, bistro‑style approach without the fuss. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. Takeaway travels well and holds its crunch. Service stays present without fuss.

“Vegetarian options! Had a delicious lunch here. Two of us ordered Jasmine Tea, Twice Cooked Tofu, Stir Fried Potato & Capsicum, and a medium bowl of rice. We finished everything and felt good full, not too full. Their tofu is locally sourced! It was fried, puffy, soft, and soaked up sauce excellently. They have soy sauce, white pepper, and chilli oil available, too. The large menu offers Cambodian,Thai, Chinese, and some other cuisines. Lots of dishes non-Chinese people will know, and some you won’t! We ordered dishes from the Chinese menu and I’d recommend both. A Note on Meat — if you’re vegetarian or vegan make sure to ask for no meat, egg, and/or dairy. Not all dish names mention meat but lots of Chinese dishes often include meat even tofu dishes. The restaurant’s interior is the Shabby Chic I adore of Chinese Restaurants in New Zealand — lanterns, large tables with lazy susan’s, photos of menu items on the wall etc. Perfect!”

“Lovely Chinese take away. The vegetarian fried rice is my favourite. However the big portion combo special with rice or noodle with choice of 3 mains. Highly recommended! Located in the foodcourt of the South City Mall.”

“right, so I had an absolutely incredible feed, no complaints as they let me stack my plate super high. definitely took a few years off my life eating all this grease. Not really authentic Chinese, but I knew exactly what i was in for, that is why im rating it 5 stars.”
