Closes at 2am, wish more places are open around this time. It was pretty quiet when I came here around 1am. Alot of seating, and it's great for groups.
- Combination fried rice 8.7/10
It's really decent. Beef and chicken slices were really tasty, rice fried well, and good balance with the Veges.
- Spicy chicken 1.5/10
Mostly bones, insane amounts of chili and schezuan peppercorns, very dry. It's not worth it unless you like eating bones.
- pork and ginger dumplings 6.5/10
Sa8ce needed, make sure you get some from the self-service area at the restaurant. Basic, but they're fine.
Best dandan noodles in the city. Very authentic. Have to be careful with the heat, as the medium is quite spicy already - especially if you're not get used to Asian spicy level. Their portions are quite generous. Their dumplings and cold appetisers are quite good too. The place is very small, and can be quite hot in the summer. Parking are on the street which can be quite challenging in Takapuna. A definite must try.

We tried the salt & chilli chicken, Shanghai noodles, and of course, the donut. The chicken was packed with flavour and the portion was super generous. Most of the dishes here are around $21–$22, which is pretty good value considering how much food you get. The Shanghai noodles had a nice mix of meats. The lady owner who served us was so lovely and friendly.

Kiwi style Chinese fried rice right here - IYKYK.
- Steak fried rice 10/10
Perfect rice, balance of peas, bean sprouts, egg, and steak. Rice has a slight char, showing that the wok is well used and high quality. Any of the rice dishes is a must.
- Combination egg foo yong 8.5/10
Great portion size, would do 3 people. Still had egg moisture seeping through the paper plate, but the dish was moist nice Combination of meats.
- Chips 7/10
Need to add salt too many small end bit for my liking
- Mussel and scallops 8/10
Well battered good quality size, they should ve @ 3.50 each.
Highly suggest happy with their food prep, and friendly people.
It’s been a while since we bought from here. Never disappointed. Value for money. We ordered the special deal steak chow mein/chicken fried rice combo at $34. Enough to feed a family of 4. And 1 portion of fries for $4.50 - enough for 2 people.
Quick service. Securely wrapped and ready to go. Delicious and plenty leftover for tomorrow. The chips were cooked to perfection.
Based at Northcote shopping centre next to Woolworth supermarket. Lots of free parking.
Very popular and busy takeaway.
