Chinatown in Christchurch

Never had a bad dish, pleasant staff and delivery always on time, keep the good work up highly recommend 👍

Delivery was only around 10 mins late which took it to 80mins wait. We had to reheat the order as it was stone cold. The sticky beef was nice, the chicken satay was bland, and the curry had no curry taste but had a cornflour taste and very thick unpleasant texture which made it inedible unfortunately.

Do not order from here waste of time and money.1. Ordered three items at 16:50 on uber eats. Delivery was scheduled between 17:30 to 17:50.2. No food by 18:00 so phoned up for update, order on its way I was told. No update or delivery tracking on the uber eats app during any of the process.3. 18:10 Delivery driver called from wrong address further down the road very confused said he was given wrong address by owner. Had to go out to street to flag him down.4. Back inside opened bag to find chicken balls missing from 3 item order. Officially cheesed off phoned the shop and was told they would cook and deliver them. Dubious to how long this would take I asked how long as I expected the rest of my order would be cold by the time it arrived, was told would cook whole order again which sounded reasonable given the hassle.5. As you can probably guess food never arrived. Absolute shambles don’t waste your time or money.

Ordered a special chowmein.Absolute garbage.4 prawns5 pieces of chickenNo beefNo porkHalf a dozen pieces of cubed ham..???Ignorant delivery man.I will never use again.

We have ordered from here a few times and enjoyed the food. However, last night we ordered a lot of food and spent around £37. We ordered the sharing platter and sadly all of it was over cooked. We also ordered the salt and pepperTofu, I've atttached a photo. This was so over cooked and crisp that we couldnt eat any of it. The sweet n sour chicken balls were average but again over cooked. On the plus side the beef in black bean sauce was okay and the king prawn stir fry was edible. The seaweed was covered in sugar. We waited around 45 mins for this meal and had to phone to chase this up. I can only imagine the fried stuff was sitting around waiting to be delivered. It was very disappointing and sadly we will not be ordering from here again.We ate the beef and king prawn stir fry just because we were starving and had a stressful day arranging a funeral.:(

Lovely little Chinese based in Highcliffe. Take away only. Food is fresh and waiting times minimal. Highly recommended!

Was just about to order a meal which included chicken curry. I know that it's not exactly a Chinese meal but where did this practice originate from of putting mushrooms in a curry to substitute chicken? Once one does it, they all start doing it. You lost an order due to this. Thanks for the reply. No, I have (until recently) never had mushrooms in a chicken curry dish. Yes, the odd pea and onions but you use big chunks of mushrooms to replace the chicken pieces which are more costly. Baulking out food to increase your profits. If I had asked you to leave out the mushrooms you would not have put back in the chicken that you had left out. I've ordered before on several occasions, but this practise has stopped me from buying. It's that simple.

Really disappointed with the amount of cornflower used in every dish at Chinatown, plus the amount of vegetables Chinatown puts in every meat dish to baulk it out - you can see the twice cooked pork dish is over half full when all but one piece of meat is removed. Must do better.

We’ve been ordering from China Town for over 16 years. We’ve always found the food of such a high standard, and recommended it to friends and family.However, the last 2 haven’t been very good at all. The order was wrong last week, and the food bland, especially the chicken satay. The sauce was runny and the pieces of chicken was chewy.We tried it again last night, again the food wasn’t great. The prawn balls were tiny, and the rest was just tasteless.I even asked when I placed the order, if it had changed hands, but no!! Very disappointing!!This is such a shame!! What’s happened China Town??

Second time of ordering, was average the first time. Is definitely below average now. We ate it because we were hungry but actually it wasn't a good meal. Veg and meat dishes in cheap Sunday roast style gravy, very low quality chicken, sesame prawn toast with no prawn (we searched) that was dry and tasteless, more sesame seeds than actual toast. No actual Chinese flavouring or actual flavour as far as I could taste in anything really. Somewhat of a let down and waste of money. I have to say this is such a wasted opportunity. Very few takeaways in the area. Even fewer good ones.
