Been there since 2007 and I tried it again yesterday. The tastes are still good enough!
I like the big portions of food, good for sharing. The food tasted fresh and not oily at all (unlike many Chinese restaurants). The restaurant is also well maintained and clean. Good customer service with friendly staff. The Shanghainese stir fry noodles & pork with tomato rice are my favourite here. :) Recommended.
This place looks like another standard Chinese food place in the Meadowland area, but would definitely recommend the food. There's a bit of a language barrier if you don't speak Chinese but usually just pointing at the relevant dishes on the menu works well. Food is always ready quickly and tasted great every time I've been. The dishes can be on the more expensive side compared to other food places in the area, but is worth it for the portion size. They're good sizes for sharing and if you're not a big eater you could easily get two meals out of one dish, or share one dish between two people.
Been coming to Fongmei for 10+ years! Never disappoints, Hungover or not! Well priced and big portions. Usually get the satay beef noodles coz thats bomb!

Fong Mei Cafe has been the go-to Chinese takeaway of my household for the past few years and has provided food for many gatherings between family and friends for good reason.
My personal favorite is the very addicting Salt & Pepper Chicken (though I think this has been replaced by pork chops on the latest menu). It is a deep-fried dish seasoned in spring onions, chilli and garlic. The Braised Fish with Tofu is also very enjoyable. It isn't as crispy or as flavorful as the aforementioned deep-fry but brings a different kind of synergy instead. Each component of the dish works harmoniously with the next from the fish fillet to the thick skinned tofu to the veges and mushrooms making for a well-rounded choice. Other sharing meat options I've tried are Sweet & Sour Pork - perfectly fine but not particularly memorable and Beef/Chicken in Black Bean Sauce which would be one of the better (albeit oilier) Black Bean dishes I've tried.
As far as noodles go, the Fried Egg Noodles with Chicken is another favorite. There are few things more satisfying than the initial crunch of the fried noodles but everything else on the plate like the chicken itself and Kai Lan carry their weight by way of pleasant flavors and textures. I also thoroughly enjoy the Flat Rice Noodles with Fried Beef. It is your stereotypical "magic wok" dish mixing flavors from onion, spring onion, beef, soy sauce and those from the wok itself. The fried rice dishes on the other hand are not as great. The Yang Chow Fried Rice is bland a forgettable (though not bad per se) and the Hokkien version (covered in gravy) while faring a bit better was also not impactful enough for my tastes.
The restaurant itself is quite clean but the service is what you would expect from a Chinese takeaway. The order takers have very limited English (though enough to get by) but the manager (lady with short hair who mans the register) will give you a different experience each time ranging from courteous professionalism to mild indifference to the cold shoulder.
To me, Fong Mei Cafe fills the niche of Chinese takeaway and does what it does very well. There isn't much else to comment on other than outside of unforeseen circumstances, I can't see it falling out of favor in my books any time soon.
It’s actually really tasty.
Not sure if it’s the msg or not. But man it’s good. Better than the Chinese food in central auckland.
Must dine in or get some takeaway like me when you are in the area.

Fong mei is so YOM, the lady is v nice and the food is delish, always come here and always will. Much better then the likes of momo tea and the food portions are massive 🙃
Pretty good food and reasonable prices although service isn’t very good and the lady usually seems angry
The deep fried egg noodles with gravy is one of my favourite dishes from here
I used come here every week to eat their noodle soup! Now we just order takeout. On this particular visit we got combination egg noodle, tomato pork chop and fried beef in soya rice noodle.
Portion sizes are huge. They stuff the takeout container with rice or whatever starch you get.
All the food was tasty. Rice is aromatic, tasty even by itself. Noodles are just as good.The meats are ridiculously tender.Though I was disappointed about the pork chop as it was so thin.
Never had a rude service from here before. Always quick and friendly.
Would recommend if you want cheap, Guangzhou style food.
I didn't want to meet this infamous angry lady everyone talks about so I sent my partner. He said she was nice to him that day lol.
Such large portions for $10! So many wonton pieces and such much noodles as well. I couldn't finish all the noodle!
I would come order again even for a chance to fight with her 😂
Nice place for Hong Kong Cantonese style food. Cheap and tasty meals mostly under $15. They offer both soup noodles as well as stir fried ones and do have options for rice and rice noodles. They also do main dishes. Service is fairly Asian so some people may find them rude, particularly during busy times. Otherwise service is alright.
Food is always good. Cantonese/ Hong Kong style dishes. Prices are fair service is quick if there's not too takeaway orders. But, parking is at a premium.
My go to local Chinese eatery, busy during peak hours but food is almost Goku like instant transmission. Sizzling beef and the salt and pepper braised fish is always ordered without fail
We love this place, usually get the salt & pepper pork chops with fried rice and veggies. Authentic HK-style food, never disappoints!!
A great place for a meal. The staff are friendly and are good with English. They have both English and Chinese on the menu and helpful pictures if your still not sure. A friend and I have been going there for years and we are never disappointed. It's on of those places that always has people in it no matter the time of day. Awesome food and there iced coffee is so good. Not to mention the pork cutlet or dumpling soup.
Authentic tasting Cantonese food. Lots of options from Soup and Dried Noodles, even Toast and Sandwiches. This is my go to restaurant for Congee. They also have other favourites like Wa Tan Hor (Beef and Egg Rice Noodles), Singapore Rice Vermicelli under the "Special" Dishes menu. Closed on Wednesday's

Honestly best Cantonese style food. If you love Hong Kong food, you must go here! I drive all the way from Mt Roskill for this place. 100% Legit
My favourite Cantonese restaurant. The food and service is amazing. Accidentally left my takeaway dish on the table when leaving, and the kind lady working ran up to my car as I was driving away to give me my food. Thank you so much!
Traditional Hong Kong style food, especially Fired Noodle , reasonable price. Family business and do not expect good service!
