“Love the fish and chips here, kiwi as. Chinese looks pretty good to.. shop was really busy, friendly staff and efficient service. Yum fish and chips!”

“There are very good steamed dishes here, and the price is very cheap.”

“$9.90. Let that sink in for a moment. With such a incredible price point, this establishment checks all of the boxes for dishing out some amazing food at this price point. Amazing mix and portions of meat, vegetables and rice which is punching way above its value. I personally think it's almost impossible to have so much value compared to a home cooked meal. While I haven't been to many $9.90 establishments, I can say that so far, Smart Kitchen has the most in depth and complex flavours. Overall, highly recommend cheap eats lunch box in Albany. Great value and great flavours to make a dent in the saturated $9.90 market.”

“This restaurant takeaways has a simple kitchen style dining area with absolutely amazing food!! Lovely helpful and friendly service. We had the most delicious plate of salted prawns and a plate of green beans with minced chicken. Great choices. We can't wait to go back and take friends.”

“Friendly staff. The restaurant was almost full so I would recommend booking a table beforehand. The waiting time was short and we didn't have to wait long for our food after we ordered. The food was delicious and made with good quality ingredients that is better than other Chinese restaurant nearby. The dish sizes are large, so it's a ideal restaurant for family and/or friend gatherings. I was happy when I saw one of the staff put a dropped table cloth into a bin for cleaning instead of using it anyway, good hygiene practices. Will come again!”

“Been here multiple times and is my go to for beef noodles now! Broth is flavourful, with a tiny fragrance of herbs while not being too oily or heavy. The noodles are made fresh with a good bite and texture. Love the sour cabbage/pickles option. They have a wide range of dishes too, all of them being delicious. Highly recommend this spot! Both more affordable and much tastier than other chains that have sprung up in Auckland.”

“We ordered fish and chips. Ten outta ten. Highly recommend. Crispy and fresh. Not at all oily.”

“Great local. Been coming here for years. Beside their fish & chips, love their sweet n sour, chow mein, black bean & fried rice options. Very tasty, reasonable prices.”

“I regularly travel across town to have dinner here and it is always worth it. The food is delicious. My favourite dishes are the dumplings, guillan noodles, pickled vegetables and fern root noodles. But in saying that, everything I have tried has been delicious! The service is always friendly and accommodating. Ask for the spicy chillies from the kitchen if you are up for it.”

“This place is our usual go-to restaurant. The food is always delicious and well-presented. Their signature dish, Samsun Jjamppong, is a must-try. It’s not too spicy and is full of flavor. The staff is friendly and kind.”

“Friendly service and outstanding value. The portions were huge and freshly cooked. Everything tasted great. Lovely stuff!”

“I have tried chicken, steak and bacon and egg burger here. They are cheap (7-9$), and tastes all right. Takes about 10-15 minutes to cook. Their chicken fried rice is average, fried chicken is all right but bit too oily”
