Unfortunately did not have the best experience, waited a long time for each meal to arrive. Each meal took about 15mins, it wasn’t a busy night but there were a couple of big families which could have caused the delay.
By the time the next meal came our food became cold or we finished it because we were so hungry.
Some dishes were tasty but definitely overpriced for the portion size. We ordered the sweet and sour pork regular $22 - as shown in the pictures, the bowl was bigger than the portion of food. It was tasty but so disappointing. Very deceiving!!!
The spicy chicken had more chilli than chicken pieces and only skin parts. Again very small portion for the cost.
The crab fried rice was $36 as you can tell from the image the bowl is deceiving. Maybe enough for 2 people.
The dimsum was not as tasty as the other spots we have been too! Must say the sweet and sour was very nice. Other meals were average and pricey. Highly recommend the sweet sour and get the larger size even if it’s just 2 people. You’ll probably get about 8 good 8 good pieces with the regular 😂
Guttered we didn’t enjoy it because it’s so close to home and we’re hoping to make it our regular dimsum spot but maybe another time might be better experience?

We've been eating here for thr past 2 years, each time we leave full and happy. The peking duck is a great value at $60, but you do need to order it 1 hour in advance. They serve the best salty egg yolk green beans, and the homemade pancake is huge and a fantastic value at $8. We brought my parents here when they visited NZ and they loved all the dishes we ordered. Highly recommended!
Update: came back again and the food was excellent! The chef is very consistent in his cooking which we appreciate, as not all chinese restaurants are consistent and you never know what you're gonna get. Not here! The free jasmine tea is enjoyable as it's not too strong, not too weak (the owner says she buys the tea leaves from a specialty shop). The 20% off promotion is still available!

Just moved back to papakura and super happy to find this place has moved in recently. Papakura really needed a Chinese BBQ takeaway. This place is just as good as the ones I was going too out west.
I got half roast pork and half roast duck.

I’m sharing this as my Uber Review could not update the rating. I had a Tom Kha Gai (chicken) soup with rice delivered to my hotel. Unfortunately the container cracked and leaked all over the driver’s car. I rang the Restaurant to advise of this issue and they were very kind to make the soup and rice again and deliver to my hotel. Now for the food review…. It is definitely one of my favourite dishes and this did not disappoint. The flavour was rich and balanced with the tomato to give a freshness to the soup. The addition of the rice was a welcome accompaniment as it made the meal more substantial. The portion size was huge and very generous for the price paid. Overall 10/10. I would have this dish again

1x Small Lamb Pita Pocket - $8.50
4x Potatoes - $0.70 ea
2x Feijoa & Apple Smoothies - $5.80
Well first time here, and walked in and kind of didnt expect too much. but Was I wrong. The taste was fresh and the portion of the large pita pocket was just surprisingly big. The smoothies were delicious and they chucked in pork crackling as well. We will definitely come here again. The best experience is to come and and be surprised by the quality. The service was good looks like a family business. Thank you team Charm Roast
