“A week ago the Door Dash delivery person screwed me over and didn't deliver my order. Door Dash was useless and wouldn't refund me even though it was their staff error. I called Sam who graciously and kindly got the Store to make me a fresh order even though this was a financial loss too them. I am sincerely grateful to Sam and the staff in the Hamilton store. Poppas has the best pizza in town and you can not beat their prices. The food is always consistent and looks exactly like what they advertise unlike so many others Pizza outlets. Thank you Team Poppas.”

“Ordered here just before Christmas. Staff were super friendly and food trays were packed at no extra charge! Food was delicious and I love how they aren't stingy on the meal. Great place and highly recommend. My number 1 chinese takeaways to go to.”

“My wife and two of my daughters and I had lunch here. It is a lovely restaurant, nice, friendly staff and the food is of a high quality, extremely well presented, and delicious. Wife + Daughters loved the place and declared it a new favourite. I also enjoyed the food as well but not as immensely as they. The reason is because while the food is very high quality and delicious, I personally found it a little (just a tiny bit) watered down to cater for western tastes. I am not saying it is not authentic, just not quite as layered in its flavouring as you find in some other Chinese restaurants. If you look at the photos you will see that the food is high quality, but you can also probably also tell it is lightly flavoured. The only chilli sauce offered is a sweet chilli sauce that looks just like what you get from a bottle at home. I asked for some chilli oil and got some, but it was fairly bland. Edit: I have since done my research on Shanghai style cooking which apparently has an emphasis on sweetness, lightness, and freshness. So my comments on 'watered down' may be awry, it may simply be that I prefer a more robust regional style of Chinese cooking and this restaurant is offering a genuinely Shanghai style. This style may be influenced by the 100+ years Shanghai was a western entrepot to China.”

“Great service, great food. Gourmet burgers are amazing. Their version of sweet & sour pork is next level.”

“Excellent service, I loved the option of creating your own plate- the portion sizes blew me away, definitely a good bang for your buck. The meat was tasty and melt in mouth. We look forward to coming back again.”

“Roast Plus is absolutely amazing! Their Medium Roast Beef is not only delicious but also generous enough to feed both my partner and me. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the sides are just perfect, kumara, potato, peas, and rich gravy that ties everything together beautifully.
