17th February 2016 second time we tried the chinese food from this store. The first time we ordered the sweet and sour chicken, egg foo yong and a pottle of fried rice. It was very nice. Tonight we decided to try them again and ordered the lemon chicken and satay chicken along with another pottle of fried rice.
What a disappointment. The satay had no satay flavour whatsoever. Just a greasy taste like it had been prepared in the same container that had been used for cooking something else. It even had a hint of prawn flavour mixed in it. Bad luck if one happened to be allergic to seafood. Then there was the lemon chicken, how they managed to make the chicken so tough when the satay at least was reasonably tender is beyond belief. Then there's the batter, some was crispy to the point of being brittle an hard but the most intriguing part was the yellow paste like substance between the crust and the chicken. We could only assume it was probably uncooked batter, quite a reasonable assumption considering the meal was mostly made up of batter. /the pineapple pieces that came with it were a pleasant addition and the flavour of the lemon sauce also was nice. Its a shame the meal it was covering was so badly prepared.
So another fast food shop to cross off our 'Don't go back' list.

26th July 2010 There are Two Fish and chip stores in this block of shops and this store. When you look at both shops you will see this one has less people in it and there is a reason…. The food is not that nice. They use to just cook fish and chips, then they decided to start up with Chinese food as well and It was extremely good, as the weeks went by and the Chinese came out to me consistently burnt, missing my cashew nuts that I have ordered especially, so I did what most kiwis do, I voted with my feet and went some where else
Great customer service and excellent food
