Food establishment in Christchurch

“I was once hungry and came home from work and was craving sushi. Came across this amazing place and what a steal. Low prices fresh Sushi! I can’t stop DoorDashing it (oops…) it’s just so addicting lovely and fresh. Might have to go in-store one-day! :D”

“1st time trying here today. They have the best Katsu Chicken Don. It was delicious and so fresh. Will definitely be back again!”

“I recently dined at Chichi Kitchen in New Zealand, and it was truly one of the best meals I've had this year. The culinary experience was exceptional, with each dish meticulously crafted using fresh, high-quality ingredients that showcased an expert balance of flavours. The presentation of the food was stunning, making each plate a visual delight as well as a gastronomic one. From the first bite to the last, every dish was a testament to the chef's skill and creativity. The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff who made the experience even more enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. The atmosphere at Chichi Kitchen is warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, Chichi Kitchen delivers on all fronts. I can't recommend Chichi Kitchen highly enough—it's a must-visit for anyone seeking exceptional cuisine in New Zealand.”

“Ate here for my birthday and the Lamb Dhansack, Chicken Sagwala and Keema nans were outstanding. Some of the best Curry I have eaten and I have had curries in many countries. Great service too, keep up the good work”

“Great food and even better service! The staff were kind and helpful, and the meals were fresh and delicious. A wonderful place to eat — highly recommend!”

“We went for lunch for my sister-in-law's birthday. My daughter and I ordered specific dishes(as she doesn't eat all things, like a lot of teens), and has to be careful of peanuts. She had chicken stirfy and I had a pork and noodle dish. The others ordered a variety of starters and main dishes to share. Everyone loved the food. So tasty, the flavours are fantastic and good portions, we managed to take left overs for my partner to try. Would definitely go back. Thank you for a wonderful meal.”

“Super friendly staff and delicious food! Highly recommended for lunch if you looking for something quick and tasty!”

“I ordered through Uber Eats and tried the takoyaki (octopus balls) and the gluten-free teriyaki chicken donburi. I was pleasantly surprised — everything arrived at the perfect temperature and tasted super fresh, from the tender meat to the crisp vegetables. The portions were generous, and the quality for the price is excellent. I was also really happy to see they offer several gluten-free options, which is a big plus. Definitely a great spot if you’re looking for fresh, flavorful food at a reasonable price.”

“Randomly craving Karaage, so I went to this place cuz it’s the closest Japanese restaurant I could find. I got Karaage and pork donburi and both are so delicious! Will be back and try the ramen next time!”

“Absolutely the best Mexican place in Christchurch. Have eaten here many many times and the quality has ALWAYS been outstanding. Great food, great owner. Could not recommend this place more!”

“Here for our Team Christmas Lunch - place was busy and due to the size of our group we had to pre order our dishes. Food came out in good time and everyone enjoyed their meals. Definitely a good choice coming and would come again.”

“My son and his family lives in Christchurch and he's been talking about this Afgan place and would take us there if we're in Christchurch. A must-try spot in Christchurch! There’s no menu—just walk in and let them know how many people are dining or ordering takeaway. They usually open around 5:30 p.m., and there’s always a long line, so give yourself extra time. The food is simple but absolutely delicious—choose chicken, lamb, or a mix, served with tasty rice and curry. It’s great value for money and always consistent. We ordered 3 servings for 5 people, and it was more than enough. Don’t expect a typical restaurant setup. You get your own drinks, plates, and cutlery. If you're dining in, you can skip the takeaway queue—just find a seat and order at the counter. We always get an extra serving to enjoy for lunch the next day. Tip: Join their Facebook group to check if they’re open. Long wait, but totally worth it!”

“The best souvalaki in town!! Fresh, hot and served with a smile. The food is authentic, high quality and delicious for an incredibly reasonable price. A small is $9 which is so good for what you get!! The meat is always beautifully cooked, salad fresh and prepared that day. Plus the service is always lovely :)”

“We are here for my father’s birthday, brought a home-made cake. The friendly staff gave us candles and offered to put cake inside the fridge for us, that’s really lovely. Also introduced the food to us. And food is very good and special! Highly recommended”
