Any of their szuchuan dishes are a great option. I’ve had their szuchuan pork belly which was delicious and the pork intestines. Both meats were very tender and easy to chew, flavorsome and a good portion size.
8.5/10
I’ve also had a tofu vegetable stir fry which was decent. No wow factor, the tofu was soft and there was a satisfactory amount of it compared to the vegetables.
7/10
(Also recommend mao’s braised pork belly! there’s one with rice and the pork belly is still such a generous portion-so worth! The pork is pretty delicious, best right there and then, and it also has pickled vegetables on the bottom of the dish, such a yummy accompaniment!)
Edit 26/4
Decided to opt out of my comfort zone today and ordering something different from my usual choices of pork belly!
Ordered the sliced lamb hot pot with Chinese medicinal herbs and it was definitely a goodie. The lamb was tender and soft to chew, and the tofu was a perfect solidness-not too firm but not fall apart soft either, and stayed well intact when I picked it up with my chopsticks. Other accompanies bits were bok Choy which were a little tough and two pieces were very dry (at the top), a few sweet Chinese dates (yummy not dry!), and bamboo shoot pieces throughout. They were a nice addition, but the flavor of the soup really carried the meal through. The soup was full of flavor and really well paired with lamb, it was sweet yet ever so slightly tinged with a hint of the distinct traditional medicinal herb flavor-dare I say bitter? Definitely worth trying if you’re a fan of lamb hot pot. The meal was a generous portion for the price and definitely worth. It could’ve been separated into two meals but I was greedy and ate it all. 4.5/5
My friend got the kimchi pork hot pot, and let me try a bit-the kimchi flavor was slightly spicy and sour, a delicious awakening for the taste buds, however the pork had a ‘strong pork taste’ and was a bit tougher than I was expecting (more so than the lamb) and did not hold my attention as much. Still delicious, but if the pork was more tender I would’ve rated higher. 3.5/5
Eggplant with mince and salty fish is also a decent one!
Love this place ! Staff are always friendly, food is a great price with huge portions and something for everybody. Always busy in here and its easy to see why once you've been for yourself. Love trying something new everytime we visit and haven't been disappointed yet.
Only come to Dunedin once or twice a year, chopstick 101 is definitely something I don’t want to miss. Had streamed pork belly and preserved vege on rice. The pork was really nice and did not have the nasty pork smell I sometimes get when I eat out. Tried their bbq on rice, tofu with pork belly and Taiwanese fried chicken. Have not tried like sweet and sour pork or chicken cashew, so can’t comment on those kiwi-popular dishes. But if you are looking for some authentic Chinese food, here is a good choice.
The best place without a doubt for authentic Taiwanese/Chinese. DO NOT MISS. Never been disappointed and the owners are just lovely! Hard to go wrong - great menu selection.
Went there with flatmates, about 7 pax on quiet Monday evening. Restaurant was busy with Uni students and we were able to get a round table enough to serve 7 of us. Ambiance is same as any Asian restaurant, pop red everywhere. The only one thing different here is service is DYO (do your own) meaning you have to go grab your own cutlery and Crockery from the shelf.
Restaurant is BYO and they charge $5 corkage fees per wine bottle. I had white bottle so asked for a ice bucket or something similar to chill my wine. However was informed that they don’t have one. Meaning I had to gulp that wine down in room temperature.
Menu is extensive and can be somewhat confusing as there is no description of abh particular dish, so we have to make some guess or figure out by watching the picture of that dish.
Food itself is really good and tasty. Prices are easy for pocket too.
Easily one of the best takeaways in Dunedin. Super good food that is cheap, large portions, and made quickly.
Personal favourite is N8 which is the noodles with chilli with choice of meat or veg (I tend to get chicken). Their large size is massive and can serve 2. Also love their pork and cabbage dumplings. I’ve also had the chicken and cashew nut stir fry which was good as well.
The service is friendly, and they do well considering how busy they always are. A real popular student joint and there’s no wonder why.
Good portion and food! Best sweet and sour pork in town ;) came here too often and tried a lot of combo meals. The noodles with beef are very good, as well as their side dishes.
Amazing pork wontons the sweet and sour sauce was just how I like it the fried rice had a really eggy taste but it was still good the staff are all so nice and the smell when you walk in is amazing
Very yummy food, and staff were very friendly, highly recommend chopsticks 101 to anybody going to Dunedin , certainly will be coming back again
So many delicious dishes full of flavor and with a huge variety to pick from. Highly recommend this place!! Great prices here and wonderful customer service!! love the little squid dish!!! YUUUUM.
The foods are so good, reasonably priced with great portion size. It's not salty but definitely not bland! Highly recommend the TW pork belly buns. I really appreciate fushion foods - they added gherkins and pickled cabbages into the mix, making the bun salty, sweet, sour and crunchy. The staff there is very friendly too even though they are super busy. Highly recommended!
AN ABSOLUTE MUST—HAVE. My wife and I were in Dunedin for 3 days, and we visited this restaurant every single day. It’s by far, our favourite place in the whole of New Zealand. The food is so damn delicious and staff here are so nice. The sour and spicy fish soup is our favourite. My wife have made me promise her to bring her here every year. And I’m from Singapore, by the way 😆 so that’s a huge commitment right there. Enjoy the food and thank us later!
First time visitor, I have walked right past many times but tonight beckoned me to check it out. Pleasantly surprised yummy food, wide selection, must have a team of chefs, fast delivery from order to the table. Great friendly service.
Highly recommended.
Great menu, made special request for veg egg fried rice with tofu.

Hands down best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever had the delight to eat at, highlights be maos braised pork belly, hot pot, stone pot. Tooooo good. Wish Auckland had one of these, this’ll always have a special place in my heart.
Any of their szuchuan dishes are a great option. I've had their szuchuan pork belly which was delicious and the pork
intestines. Both meats were very tender and easy to chew, flavorsome and a good portion size.
I've also had a tofu vegetable stir fry which was decent. No wow factor, the tofu was soft and there was a satisfactory amount of it compared to the vegetables.

Consistent Asian restaurant with simple delicious Asian style food. Ever since visiting Dunedin every year from 2013, every time I’ve always eaten here at least once or twice per trip and the food has a always been consistently good. I especially love the chicken nugget on rice or noodle. This trip we got the deep fried pork belly and it was soooo good. Highly recommend!
Food was GREAT! Authentic Asian food. Everything I had was delicious: pork belly buns, wonton soup, and pork dumplings. Definitely recommend!
Loved the authentic Chinese meals and atmosphere of this restaurant. We really enjoyed our shared plates and would go back next time we are in Dunedin. A good local treasure.
Amazing dishes, tasty and affordable price. Variety of the menus that you can choose. My favourite restaurant in Dunedin, never get bored, either for snacking or mains. Always come to fulfil my tummy:) and you can collect stamps to get free meals.
The braised pork belly and spicy crispy chicken leg we ordered were really yummy! The portion was generous, and service was top notch. Highly recommended!
