A Korean - Chinese fusion restaurant located near the Hub in Hornby. The food served here is excellent and quick. I personally enjoyed the stir fried dishes here. The staff are very friendly and can speak both Chinese and Korean. I would absolutely recommend if moving in groups as the tables are suited for a team of four.
Daniel Wong
Delicious food, especially the Korean ones. Come here for lunch every 2-3 weeks and order the same dish because it's just that good. Service is awesome! Please come and try.

Just finished off an amazing dinner here at Cathays. It was amazing! The best sweet and sour pork I have ever had, and the Kanpung Chicken was phenomenal!! The Toffee Banana was delicious and fresh! One of the best meals I have ever had. The service was fantastic also! Thank you so much for such an amazing dinner ��

A hidden gem in Hornby - excellent food and fantastic service. My partner and I went back for takeaway after dining in, during our short time in Christchurch. Great selection of Chinese and Korean dishes, our food was delicious and brought out fast. Try the Korean Soju!

Great Chinese food! Ordered crispy wontons, egg foo yong, combination fried rice, curry beef.<br/>Great flavours and also awesome service - highly recommend!
Andrew Lee
Excellent service and food. Great owner who always remembers you. I've ordered everything on the menu for my lunches and been in to dine in once or twice with family, excellent chinese.
Paula
Went here for dinner. Service was good. Fried rice was expensive for what it is. We had sweet and sour chicken,which when arrive was 2 big peices of crumbed chicken possibly processed, top with sauce. Sweet and sour usually comes with Veges and pineapple chunks so was disappointed since we like Veges in our meals. The crispy chicken we ordered looked the same and again no Veges. So we couldn't eat all of it because it was all deep fried and you got a bit bored of the chicken with sauce. The bill came to over $70 dollars for 2 people with one drink each and a starter to share. Very over priced Chinese.
Marc Sanford
Excellent food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere.<br/><br/>Had the Cathay's Beef special, which was recommended to me by a friend who told me about this place. Came in with the missus not expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised. Very flavourful dish with a nice presentation, seeing the egg on the side still frying on the hot plate as it was delivered to my table had my mouth watering well before I took my first bite.<br/><br/>The lady who served us was quite friendly and service was exceptional. I can see why my friend thought for us to give Cathay's a try and why it seemed like some of the other diners here were regulars and knew her well. It was quite relaxing being able to eat my meal in the peaceful environment of the restaurant.<br/><br/>Small detail here, but the interior is nicely designed as well. It reminded me of a warm, homely look, and the bathroom was surprisingly clean. The fact that the owners care about how the place looks and feels to its customers really shines through here.<br/><br/>All in all, it was a great dining experience that I'll be sure to recommend to friends and family. Would definitely give Cathay's two thumbs up and will come back soon.

Excellent food and service cannot fault it.<br/>It pays to book on weekends. The menu has a large variety of different dishes. Highly recommended.
Christine Shearer
I searched online for Chinese restaurants in Hornby this came up with good reviews?????<br/> I was very disappointed, the meat in both dishes one chicken &amp; one beef were formed or processed not good at $15 per dish. I ordered these dishes and expected quality not processed crap.<br/><br/>I also ordered spring rolls they were ok.<br/><br/>I will not be returning.
Ruth
yum! lots of meat Smothered in sauce with nice small vegetables. The meals I have had have all been really tasty. The car park is a bit tricky. Dine in or takeaway the atmosphere is homely and friendly.
Melissa
This is the best chinese place in town. The owner remembers us, knows what we like and always enquires after our family. We have taken family and friends here. The food is always good, the prices are reasonable, service is friendly.
Jennifer
My visit to Cathay's today. VERY disappointing. The service was slow, the lady serving was rude and the food not as described on the menu. <br/>Japanese Terijaki is not "deep fat fried"<br/>"Sauteed" does not mean "deep fat fried". <br/>Oh, and to top it all off, someone asked for MILD so the dish was served with no sauce at all. Was definitely mild ... no flavour whatsoever. <br/>Absolutely a NO NO this place. Not risking a second chance.
Danielle B
Hubby and I go here regularly, the owner always has a smile, and the staff very friendly. We always order the same as the first time we had it we were hooked! The spring roll and squid entrees are delicious. Always just the right amount of sauce too! The mains are always the right size, we never walk out feeling like we've eaten too much or like our meal wasn't enough. I get the sweet and sour chicken and hubby gets the korean sweet and sour pork. We both LOVE them!
Neil Thurlow
We ate here on Valentines Day and then went back this evening with friends. Lovely friendly service and awesome food at a reasonable price. Definately recommend and wouldn't hesitate to eat here again!
Richard
Always an exciting dining experience. Food is to die for, service likewise and surroundings are very good. Ample portions and reasonable prices.
Jay
good sized dishes for the price, though a little on the oily side. have eaten there 3 times for lunch. would go back.
Ianessa
The best sweet and sour pork I've ever tried. Very tasty selection and lots on the menu I've love to try. Take out or dine in, we try and go as frequently as we can!
Tracy
This is definately the best Chinese food I have ever had. The selection is awesome, the service warm and welcoming and the owner always remembers you.<br/>I highly recommend the pork ribs and the Cathay sizzling beef.
