Chinese restaurant in New Zealand

“Always great food from Gary's. A legend in Christchurchs fish and chip family.”

Celine's Bar & Restaurant favours a Japanese‑leaning mix with clear, clean flavours. Serve sizes show solid value. Broths and noodles keep good heat and snap. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“The team Vijay & Ram at Lucky Takeaway on Peachgrove Road are absolutely fantastic! Always friendly, welcoming, and super efficient with every order. The food is fresh, tasty, and served with genuine care, but what really stands out is the wonderful customer service from the staff. They always greet you with a smile and go the extra mile to make sure you’re happy. Definitely one of the best takeaways in Hamilton — highly recommend!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding experience — highly recommended! As a chef myself, I rarely write long reviews, but this place truly deserves it. I’d confidently give it 5 stars for the incredible value we received. The location is just perfect — peaceful, away from the city noise, yet easy to reach. We went for a family dinner- birthday celebration and were pleased to find plenty of parking available, as nearby businesses were closed at that time. The food was plentiful and well-balanced — not an overwhelming menu, but thoughtfully curated. From a chef’s perspective, every dish felt just right. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. One of our little ones accidentally broke a glass, and the team immediately stepped in to clean up and made sure we were comfortable — that kind of service speaks volumes. Overall, one of the best places to dine — whether with family, as a couple, or for a corporate dinner. Beautiful setting, delicious food, and genuine hospitality. Definitely worth visiting again!”

On the plate at Eastern Ocean Chinese Restaurant, the idea is burger‑led and well judged. Pricing lines up with the offer. Desserts close the meal with familiar comfort. Portions are generous yet well judged.

“Delicious dishes especially some from local Dalian eg 三鲜焖子，stir fry cabbage, lamb, wasabi prawns, etc all very yummy. Being there a few times and still want to go.”

“Level 3 lockdown, only open for takeaways. Best to ring ahead and order beforehand, so there is minimal wait time. Food was delicious and still piping hot when I got home. They have a mixture of Canton style and North Eastern Chinese dishes on the menu. I would recommend the Homemade Tofu and Mongolian Lamb Chops”

“Delicious and great service, prices are very compatible and good portion. Would return.”

“Did a takeaway for the first time. Ordered online. Good chicken fried rice, fish fillet in Maggie sauce great. And sauteed vegetables ok. Will definitely go for a sit down dinner.”

“This place has been around for years use to walk past in my teens and use to order takeaways in my younger adult days. Now in my 40s we visited from Christchurch recently and stopped in for dinner, and owner was there and greeted us (swear she hasn’t aged). Food was delicious and plentiful we couldn’t eat it all so took some home. Support your local restaurant and this lovely family from the Hutt”

“Car always goes there and stops. This is truly a wonderful place for everyday healthy chinese meals. All food are excellent and chefs are outstanding”

“Amazing food. Such great prices. And, fantastic customer service. Very very hardworking couple and served me even though I came in bang on when they closed. Food was really fast and delicious.”

“Love their takeaways. Expensive stir fries but good portion size”

“A regular restaurant, the budget friendly dishes are delicious, the prawns are crispy and flavourful, the garlic flavour is rich and absolutely addictive. Super tasty beef mince, wok heated and tender.”

“Nice people....Great and wholesome food.....to be honest I over ate but it was worth it”

“Easily one of the best Chinese restaurants in Auckland. Everything is always awesome. Staff are friendly and extremely helpful and always look after you. Gotta get the duck!!”

“The food is nice but quite expensive. There’s a minimum requirement of $600 if you need to use the small chamber. Anyways the food are fresh and portion size is okay. The chef has performed good standard in preparing the dishes. My fav are the Paua and steamed fish, tender, soft and a lot of flavor. The oysters are jumbo size and are super crispy and fresh.”

“Great food! The chicken wings are way better than KFC! Fish and chips are a perfect crisp! Love this takeaway!”

“Best Chinese meals in town..huge portions and lots on the menu to choose from”

“We came, we ate, and then we ate a lot more haha. SOOO many dishes today and I was honestly surprised to have so many that I could call my favourites. Some of them felt a bit like Chinese fusion such as the yellow prawn curry, but the variety all worked. What tasted like bbq teriyaki pork to beef with rice cakes to the sweet n sour fish, all of it would want any day. Their main dining area has loads of tables, but when you've got a group, opt for the truly private rooms in the back that either have their own toilet. Lastly, they've also got a mini fridge in these back rooms for you to grab whatever bottled drink you want and they'll count them up at the end just like a hotel room.”

“Formally Dragonboat, it was wonderful to see the restaurant open on Saturday night. Special mention for Felix, who always remembers us (and our favourite drinks). An absolute credit to the business and hospitality industry. Much loved Chinese restaurant for Asian flight crews. Very well deserved. Booking for large groups is recommended as most of the larger tables were reserved.”

“This is absolutely a hidden Gem that in Christchurch. I would say golden boat is one of the best Hong Kong restaurants in NZ. Love it! Highly recommend spring roll. So gorgeous”

“Always busy and full house restaurant. Famous with their reasonable price of lobster ($158 today). Even my North Shore's friends came to here, to have their famous lobster! But be prepared for the loudness of the busy restaurant. Everyone chatting loudly.”

“I have eaten here multiple times. I can highly recommend the absolute home-cooked authentic Indian food available on Queen Street, at Queen Food Court: near Wakefield St. Nepalese family, the business is called BOMBAY CHINESE - but the food is very traditional home-cooked food where I am from, Bihar/Uttar Pradesh.”

“Love the service in this restaurant : I think this is a very authentic Chinese restaurant in Dunedin. There is a buffet and a la carte. The Sichuan cuisine tastes very good. The pickled fish tastes authentic. My family and I come here often. The service is also very good.”

“I used to skip this restaurant because of its low rating, but it completely surprised me — I was wrong! This is my second time trying their dim sum, and I felt compelled to write a review. The portions are generous with plenty of fillings, and everything tastes fresh and absolutely delicious. The salted egg yolk custard bun is a must-try, and the polo char siew bun were tasty. ( Sorry, the photos of the buns weren’t attached.)”
