One of the best Chinese places yet that I have found in Christchurch. I ordered pork and chive dumplings, fried rice, sweet and sour pork and old school wontons!! So goooood!!! Piping hot and just so full of flavour. Will be ordering from there again. Thankyou “China Kitchen”
A huge improvement on the Chinese we bought last weekend from another place. The sweet and sour pork was amazing. The satay chicken had a lovely flavour but i prefer it a bit stickier and my flatmate prefers it a bit nuttier. The chicken fried rice with cashew was nice but I would be hard pressed to call it fried... The wontons were pretty standard.
This is the best Chinese restaurant around. Food is consistently good, ingredients fresh and seasonal. We usually get takeaway because it's always busy in the restaurant (which is a good thing).
The dumplings here are really good.
The service and atmosphere are great and it's cheap!
Would definitely go here again, highly recommended for anyone wanting good quality food.
Great food at very reasonable prices. Fast and friendly service. The dumplings are delicious and the garlic chili prawns on rice are the best!
Even though this restaurant is out of the way for me as I live a long way from it, I eat here regularly as it is worth the journey.
This is a place where you pay only for delicious food. The atmosphere is no frills, the prices are low, and the food is perfect. We got the dumplings, prawns and spicy beef soup. Would definitely go back again!
Friendly and fast service, ordered sweet and sour chicken takeaway, came with good amount of rice,vegetables and delicious chicken.
Our first time there and it was a very pleasant experience.
Clean and spacious restaurant with a takeaway waiting section.
Food was on point, very yummy, but portion could be slightly bigger for the price charged per dish.
The service was excellent! Food was served in than 10mins after ordering.
There was 1 waitress that proactively took our almost empty water bottle and swapped it for a full one! Before i even raised my hand.
Only the parking could be very limiting.
First time dining here, authentic Chinese food. Amazing taste, clean environment and good service. Reasonable price to feed the family, will definitely go back again. The web site is up to date, the menu is available on the website.
My first visit but it will not be long until I return. The food was exceptional and great value for money. We were a table of 6 that had banquet A. We left with full bellies and memories of delicious flavours. See you again soon!

Have been back to China Kitchen, Papanui a few times since June, for lunch with family or to collect a takeaway.
Latest was beef fillet and vegetables with rice.
So yummy. Go try them for delicious, fresh Chinese food.

As always Stella and the China Kitchen team, were awesome.
I drive from South/West Christchurch to them, every time I want to eat Chinese food. Well worth the drive.
Ordered 4 dishes for 2 of us, so ended up with a takeaway of left overs.
Superb beef fillet dish, wontons, garlic & chilli prawns and a lamb dish. So yummy. All that and fizzy drinks were very reasonable at $50 for each of us.
Such a clean and tidy restaurant to eat at.
They are in Papanui, close by the service station, near the Northlands Mall.
If you haven't already, go check them out, for lunch or dinner. 👍😀
An excellent Chinese restaurant with a comprehensive menu and a pleasing wine list.
I had the Yang Zhou Fried rice - (barbecue Pork with Prawns) which was absolutely delicious,
and a glass of Astrolabe Charonnay.
Suoerb, fast and friendly service.
We knew it was a great choice when we walked in the door because the smell of the food was very nice indeed.Highly recommended.
Dumplings are always good. Very good selection of spicy / non-spicy dishes. BYO. Bottle Store nearby. 👍should have taken photos of our meal tonight. Excellent. Chicken and Spinach plus Pork and Chives fried dumplings to start then chilli beef & rice plus spicy chicken & rice for mains. $60. Excellent food quality. ⭐

We go to The China Kitchen for lunch with my team from work and the food is always great and the staff super friendly.
Simply impeccable, the food here is quite good, the staff is as always, very busy, highly recommended to you, the price is also very reasonable, it is worth a visit!
Our Club had a luncheon here. Could not fault food,service,staff or atmosphere. My mouth waters just thinking about the food we were served. Thoroughly recommend The China Kitchen. You won't be disappointed.
I come here regularly and has never been disappointed. Good food and rather fast service if you come ealy enough so the kitchen is not too busy with the take aways. You get real chinese and asian food for good price.
