“Ok, it’s just a Chinese takeaway chip shop but it does what it does very well. I’ve enjoyed their fish and chips twice this week and that’s says something. Not disappointed the second time either! The snapper was fresh and the chips were lovely, fluffy and crispy on the outside, without any oil or grease residue. Non oily fish and chips is not often found so well done to these guys. It would be great if you offered additional items like pickled onions, bread and butter to make a chip sandwich, mushy peas, malt vinegar. Then you would truly be a star. Just walk across the road to the Motiti Reserve find a table and watch the ocean. The perfect way to enjoy fresh fish & chips.”

“Well worth the trip and the wait (if there is one on a busy day). There’s a reason they’re often busy - quite easily the best fish and chips in the whole Wellington area. As someone from the UK it’s genuinely the only place I can go and have fish and chips anything like they are back home. Absolutely fantastic. Young staff very competent and friendly too. Prices outstandingly reasonable as well. Will be going back for many years hopefully.”

“A great place to have meal around the airport, much recommended to this place to Asian food favour!~”

“this restaurant has legit Shanghainese home dishes. I've been there twice to taste hometown flavor. The air dried pork belly in the yanduxian soup was excellent, I lingered around the aftertaste after going back home. drinken fish fillet was very competitive to some restaurants in Shanghai. Standing out aroma of rice wine and tender fish fillets got a big attention. And drunken chicken was legit too. The braised pork belly I had last time was out of gate, this is actually a usual dish in most Chinese restaurant. However this place got the unique flavor of east China. Almost every Shanghainese signature dish I tried here can be scored 9-10 out of 10. Staff here were nice but usually crazy busy, so help yourself if you can.”

“Tbh I'm kinda suprised with the low rating?!?. Maybe the owners have changed since those posts because I'll tell ya what, this is hands down top 3 fish n chips I've had in Auckland. Better than the famous one out west. Chips are great,batter is beautiful, me and my work mates come here all the time now. Definitely don't listen to these ratings, they're not up to date with the new food.”

“Value for money, we bought 2 boxes and shared them with 6 ladies. The food was good just need to add more salt and spicy.”

Cant really beat them on price either. Lovely hard working family that owns the business. Honestly reminds me of when I worked in my family’s fish and chip shop. Oh and the smorgasbord is awesome too.”
