I have been going here since I was very young, and I love this place. though the prices are comparatively high, the food is much finer and in itself, already much more expensive than most Chinese restaurants. The lady isn't being rude, she simply doesn't tend to smile or laugh a lot. The barbeque pork is amazing, though not cheap, it is amazing. Their meat and fried rice, Fried noodles and quality is wonderful. Always a pleasure to be reminded of the good food in Hong Kong.
sweet chinese. classic setting , lazy Susan's for the big groups , slow to get help (not much front of house staff), but friendly staff and helpful , but once we had ordered very fast . big serves: a small bbq and rice could serve 2 . the fish and black bean was very tasty . if your not impatient it's worth the wait .
We had duck 2 ways and salted fish eggplant.
Service was slow but friendly.
The Pekking duck was Yum, the duck skin was nice and crisp. The highlight however was the stirfry duck. We didn't eat it with lettuce and put it on rice instead.
Restaurant looked clean.
Went here when we first arrived in the country. 11 years on, still go there whenever we can. Have tried MANY Chinese restaurants over the years. By far and away the best Chinese restaurant in the North Island. Great food, great service and good sign is that Chinese people eat there too. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting good quality food.
Fantastic food best chinese in auckland
Really great, quality is sensational , flavours are fantastic
We had Peking duck two ways ...so yummy and tasty
Service is great
Easy to park
A must visit
This has to be the best Chinese Food (takeaway) that I have bought in my 20 years in New Zealand.
The quality of the dishes is very appealing, in that the vegies are freshly chopped (not frozen packet stuff), and the meat/chicken cuts are good; not fatty or grissely.
The pricing seems to be the market average.
Only thing missing from the takeaway menu is seafood. I don't understand why that is?
Freakin awesome - every time. Every restaurant has its quirky things but if you don't take yourself too seriously, you'll see this place has the best darn chanese foo anywhere on the shore!
Chilli and garlic salt and pepper prawns, lemon honey chicken and sweet and sour pork are my favs. I go there every time I have a colonoscopy and it really hits the spot.

I believe this is the best Chinese restaurant on the North Shore. The ingredients are tops....no corners cut here. The food is delicious. Our faves are Chilli Chicken, Salt and Pepper Squid, any of their prawn dishes (these are amazing prawns...not from Asia). The chicken entree in lettuce cups, likewise, is wonderful.The only downer we have found in more than 10 years is the satay stirfry dish, either beef or lamb. Can't remember. Their Peking Duck is fantastic...needs to be ordered ahead. Best shared by 6 people as an entree.
All the usuals; sweet and sour, lemon chicken etc, are hugely nicer than we have had elsewhere. No gristle ...very good meat. Their seafood dishes also are great. The seafood is very fresh indeed.
We really like spicy food and they take us at our word. Chilli chicken etc, is spiced to suit us very well indeed.
The restaurant and bathrooms are unbelievably clean.
Yes, the female owner is not overly friendly. But as you get to know her she becomes more friendly. Plus she is very busy.
The food, cooked by her husband, is outstanding in my opinion.
Royal Garden is a family favourite which we have been going to for years. Although it is priced at the upper end of Chinese cuisine,one must bear in mind that they allow B.Y.O,use superior quality ingredients to other cheaper Asian restaurants and you do not have to order one plate per person, so the larger the group the cheaper per head it becomes.We do not go there for the service, having said that we have a nice rapport with the husband and wife owners and find them to be efficient and friendly,depending how busy they are. I would recommend royal garden, if you want very good Chinese food.
This is our family's favourite Chinese Restaurant. We have been going for about 6 years now. I have not found any chinese restaurant to be better. The customers are mostly chinese which is a good sign. The service can be a little slow when the restaurant is packed as it is very popular. We drive from Orewa and the food is devine. Funnily enough we were there when the other reveiwer was there and remember the incident with the duck, so when I saw this review I thought I would put my experience in to give a more balanced view. These people came across as arrogant and put the owners back up and we laughed about it afterwards with her. We have never had a problem and when our daughter needed to have a gluten free diet she went over her menu very carefully with us so we could order dishes suited to our childs dietary restrictions.
Very friendly owners of a Chinese restaurant with a good selection of meat, seafood and vegetable dishes. Never full but you may have to wait a bit when it is dinner time. Recommend to try the braised pork, deep fried tofu and roasted duck. Does takeaways and phone orders.
Classic setting, the hosts are characters π, really great food , big serves : a small bbq or a black bean fish could do 2 people if you got some rice as a side: needless to say we made food babies πππ, heaps of parking , good service π . Maybe with some of the dishes (e.g. whole fish ) an indication of price an size? But that's a pretty minor setback . Now that I know a whole fish is gonna be a kilo of blue cod , I'm getting that next time
Really tasty Peking duck. The chef came out to speak to us and he seemed very friendly. The surroundings don't look flash but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless.
Been eating here for years, good family style restaurant, however with their not professionally trained staff please don't be surprised if your order got missing.
My family always go here - the food is great and the staff friendly. We have been going for years and we never have any problems.
