Had lunch today at this place. The food was amazing. Friendly staff.
Didn’t get to take a photo of the pecking duck :(( it was honestly so good ! A little downside is that the dishes are slightly too salty in my opinion.
Great food, have been coming to this place for many years now and the food's quality had remained the same since my first time dining here. Great friendly service, highly recommend.
Lovely food. Although the restaurant could have been cleaner.
This place is great, simple, always busy on weekends nights. The food is always value for money and it's great for big groups!

Favourite Chinese place! Would really recommend Peking duck and the stir fried beans!
My husband’s go-to-place if he’s craving for duck especially if we’re on a budget. They also have a decent sized portion dish. My only comment is that duck is a little oily but still tolerable.
I guess most Aucklanders heard of this restaurant before because it made the news for allegedly underpaying its staff but that was the past hopefully everything was settled now and everyone’s happy. What we will be focusing now is the food they serve, how they stack up with the numerous Asian restaurants and takeaways dominating the Auckland food scene.

Came here for lunar new year dinner. We pre-order the food beforehand. Peking duck two ways with noodes, soft shell crab, prawns, eggplant, tofu casserole and deep fried fish. They even allow us to bring home made yee-sang. 7 dishes with rice came to about $200. Reasonably priced and the portion is generous. We ended up takeaway lots of the leftovers. Enough to feed us for another meal!
Me and my partner love this place! We have literally ate here days in a row just for how cheap and good the food is. It’s authentic Hong Kong food and the flavours are insane. I would have to say this place is one of my top picks for Chinese food in Auckland.
Went out for mother’s bday and Great food and book your pecking duck before you go. Price also not too bad. Pity you can’t use credit card here.
My experience with their food was amazing lots of flavour and very fresh . delicious delicious delicious. I would advice to go their if your not wanting to cook and if you like Chinese you can dine in or takeaway. You will love it
Just having late lunch or early dinner at 3 pm, this might be perfect time to avoid the crowd. We order Jin Jiang pork with pancake, this one is nice with slightly sweet sauce and smell like they put XO and vinegar, served with 8 pcs thin pancakes, this one is recommended to try.
The lunch special fried noodle just average, I think they used thin dried noodle and cooked with soy sauce. This might be the typical HK style noodle, but not too oily. We got xtra chilli or kind of sambal with fermented soybean paste, this is nice with the pork. 👍
Pretty great Chinese restaurant. Definitely buy the duck, one of the best I have tasted. Ordered a few noodles which were good but nothing to phone home about. Service was incredible, even though it was super busy and packed, staff were not rude and were polite and efficient.
Their roasted duck rice is definitely a must try! so delicious and the portion quite generous. the staff was attentive. the food to be served really fast.
A family favourite and although the service can be a little hit or miss, the food and value for money make it worth while. The satay and lemon chicken dishes are particular favourites
Nice meal with reasonable price! Love it! Our favorites are salt & pepper squid and Chinese style salted fish and pork cake. Our daughter loves them so much...
Dined here numerous time now. Fantastic place for BYO if you're after delicious and good value Chinese food on the Shore with your family or friends. Highly recommended.
Great tasting authentic Chinese food in Birkenhead especially enjoy the salt and pepper prawns and chilli chicken. Great for takeaway and dining in.
The food is always yummy when we visit. I would highly recommend the sweet and sour pork and the roasted pork. They don't seem to offer any drinks though (?) aside from green tea. Service is always friendly and the prices are reasonable (depending on what you get).
Love eating here because they have great food really authentic and very affordable! One of my favourite go to place when I am craving for duck and beef brisket! The place is also great because of the location and easy parking also very fast serving so if you are in a hurry its a good place to have a quick meal. Overall will be back for sure!!
I just went there to try the duck pecking. It had a rich flavour. Very well cooked. And really delicious. I think it has the best ducks in Auckland. I also had a spicy eggplant mix which was amazing. Will go there again.

I love this place every now and then for take away dinner.
The roast duck is always nice (and not to oily)
squid and prawn chips are also a family fav for us.
Would like to dine in one night soon :)
A traditional Chinese restaurant with fabulous food.... The Peking Duck is fantastic.... So are the Dumplings (even in the evening)... And the Sweet and Sour Pork is the best!! Service is fast and they only charge $2 per person for BYO!! This is the place to go if you want a feast of genuine Chinese food!
China hong kong has been our favourite Chinese place in the shore. The peking duck is one of the tastiest and the cheapest in Auckland! And i used to be in love with their chili sauce, but since they change owners they chili sauce hasn't been the same. But other than that everything is still as awesome as it was.
We went there last night for my late birthday celebration, and the place was packed! We didn't book but luckily the waitresses were kind enough to get us a table.
We were surprised to see the fancy new menu, they still have our old favourites with a few new additions. So last night we had the chili chicken (it was to die for!) homemade tofu, salted and spicy deep fried squid and fried pork with salted fish (also to die for!)
Overall our meal was amazing as always. Good fast service although they were packed! We will definitely come back soon!
Their back! Been here a few times in the past with the family but stopped because it seemed that they, maybe the previous owners, we're signing out.
We decided to try them again and we're not disappointed. Ordered Wanton Noodle soup to take a bit of cold out, delicious. The broth was tasty and the serving size was good to share. The diced chicken and eggplant hot pot was very very good! Kids ordered the deep fried chicken with chili and beef with veggies, they vanished quickly, very yumm.
The price is as we remembered it, quite reasonable for the serving amounts.
Staff, two ladies, on the floor were friendly and quick.
Good thing we went.
My partner and I ordered the Kung Po spicy fried chicken, BBQ Pork fried rice, and Egg fried rice to takeaway. Overall the meals satisfied our hungry tummies. The only gripe I had was that the chicken in the Kung Po dish had a, for lack of a better word, "mushy" texture. I guess I could say it was too tender! This is just a personal thing for me as I am fussy when it comes to food texture. Otherwise the Kung Po dish was full of fresh crunchy vegetables and was just the right level of spicy! The egg fried rice I would give 10/10 there was lots of egg! And the pork dish was delicious. Not too greasy. All meals were hot and fresh when we picked them up. Lovely polite, prompt service too. Likely to go back there as it is just down the road from us.
Been here twice. The food is alright but not great. I prefer Golden Phoneix to China Hong Kong for three reasons 1) more variety 2) much greater portions for about 2 to 3 dollars more 3) better service (others may argue otherwise regarding my third point). The rice dishes are great value here
Best chinese food ive ever tasted!!! Theyre prices are abit on the steep side considering the portions but service is great and very friendly. Highly recomend definately be back very soon
Great food and really good value. Have been here for the duck noodle soup a couple of times, its so yum and you get a lot for how much it costs. Also have just recently dined in for lunch with my sister and mum, my mum ordered a fish and eggplant dish which I thought was going to be quite strange, but it was actually really tasty. My sister had sweet and sour pork and its the best I've ever tasted! And my spicy pork was amazing!
What it lacks in decor it makes up for in taste! Delicious BBQ duck, some really fresh vegetable side dishes and friendly service. The menu is huge though so be prepared to wade through page after page to find what you'd like.
Surprisingly, this place was really busy for a week day! We don't often head over the shore for dinner but this place was packed with families and large groups. Must be good for sharing dishes! The restaurant itself is very simple and doesn't have much ambience but there is plenty of seating and the food seems to be served reasonably quick.
We ordered the deep fried tofu and the dry fried vegetable noodles. The portions were vert decent and we left feeling full and with a container of left overs. The fried noodles had a nice authentic flavour but too many onions too my liking! My partner and I both enjoyed the tofu dish. There is plenty to choose from on the menu – at first glance it looks expensive but the portions are big so works out to be good bang for buck!
Kuey Diu fried noodles aren't bad - generous serving with LOTS of big prawns and some tasty char siu pork slices in there. Also had the fried rice noodles in egg sauce with chicken (assuming this was "wat tan hor"). After the waitress took our orders, another came back 5 minutes later to ask if we wanted our "noodle with scrambled egg" to be well done. This confused us as I assumed the egg sauce (as it was called on the menu) would be a gravy, not a hard scrambled egg which you chew on. Further more she persisted that we had ordered a beef noodle with scrambled egg, which just added to the confusion as we originally asked for chicken, so we weren't even sure if she had the right table. We ended up saying no to the well-done scramble, and just as well, because the egg was served like a gravy over the noodles - as originally hoped. Prices on the lunch menu are okay. I would come back but not for the fried noodle dishes.
Their portions are so big, 3 dishes would probably be enough for 4-5 people (we eat a lot!) The food is so good, even when we try something new, we are never disappointed. I don't particularly like their place (a bit dirty though I don't really mind "dirty restaurants") it just makes me feel uncomfortable for some weird reason.
This is our go to restaurant. Food always good and reasonably priced. One downside is if it is really crowded, service will of course take a while. Otherwise, we always recommend this restaurant and being friends who come visit from overseas to this restaurant
We eat here regularly. Good portion size for a good price. No bar but free tea. Not palatial but nice and friendly. Plenty of room for bigger groups
Amazing food, We ordered 5 dishes and everything arrived super quick and looked incredible, it's also BYO which adds to the charm. The outside isn't flashy but the food more than compensates. Love this place, will be back.
We haven't been here for a while.Luckily our usual Yumcha stop was packed so we decided to eat here today and
glad we did.
Seems that the management is new but food is as good ad I remember it. We had fried rice (salted fish), fried chicken and the fried squid, heavenly! Love the Szechuan cooking. Will definitely bump this up the list of regular resto to visit.
I come here to get my sweet and sour pork fix which has always been really tasty. Other than that iv ordered BBQ pork and a stir fry BBQ pork noodle dish which were also very nice. Will defiantly come back to try some other meals on the menu. Pretty reasonably priced too.
This is our go to restaurant. Food's cheap but the quality is superb. If you want to enjoy your food for a cheap price and dont mind ambience then definitely go here, the place is always packed.
If I have to be really picky then I'd say they could do a make over cause it's a restaurant after all but that won't stop me from going here.
Edit: I would advise going at around 8pm as it's ALWAYS packed in at 7pm and even if you have reservations beforehand, it is most likely going to be a first come first serve basis. Happened to us twice now.
their best dish is Loquat Tofu (everyone should try this!), it's just so yummy! i also love their Peking Duck (2 dishes). tastes sooo good :)
Our family have been to there quite a few times, every time was very good. The price was cheap and the food was yummy. The service is ok because they are too busy. And you don't need to book. You just turn up early and normally you can get a seat.
WARNING: Doesn't sell alcohol, but you can byo anything (really anything, I did a 6 pack of beer, other tables had 3l of juice) for $1 per person. Awesome food, authentic Chinese across whole menu. Book for larger tables! Enjoy
I came here with my bf's family, which much of their recommendation. The food were really good and filling, especially the fish. The time for the food to come was slow but that was only because there were many customers here. Good business. We had a really nice chat with the owner who is sincere and friendly. The place seems very famous!
Massive portions and so cheap. At first glance it looks expensive compared to other eateries however when you are served you certainly see why.
Really hankered after the peking duck but saw you had to order in advance. Partner still had duck which was delicious. Very moist and crispy! I can see why people come for miles to eat here.
I just wanted to add my great review to the bunch! I love this place so much. Have been going here for years and it's been consistently good. If you're looking for a romantic dinner for two or fancy decor, I'd give it a miss, but for everyone else, it's amazing! The food is just the best. I'd recommend the Mongolian Beef for anyone into spicy food and the Peking Duck is one of those dishes you get cravings for throughout the week. BYO with no corkage makes it a fantastically cheap dinner out!
Awesome food! always big servings and so much to choose from. I can recommend the Ma Po Tofu :-) My friend looked all over for Peking Duck and found it here and really enjoyed it. Its one of those restaurants which has food you feel like eating 'a lot'!! you always feel like this Hong Kong Chinese food :-)
Quick service, excellent food!
Our family favourite are their Peking Duck or even just normal roast duck dish.
There's nothing else you can ask for from a Chinese restaurant.
And just for added bonus, they have extremely yummy chilly sauce ^_^
Have been going here for over 7 years - awesome - great family friendly restaurant and great food. No longer live in Birkenhead, but still make the drive back and they still remember us - excellent
Solid local Chinese Restaurant
Don't let the interior put you off. the food definitely makes up for it. All the great classics, BBQ pork, Beef black bean ETC.
A group of 5 of us had
Deep fried wonton

This place is just awesome!! Food is great and prices are perfect! Its open till 10pm too so if your like us and you tend to eat quite late because of work, this is the place to go for some of the best Chinese food in the North Shore!!
2 of us went here last night after reading the reviews on this site and was not disappointed. The wonderful aromas assault your senses as you walk in and my biggest complaint was that it was so difficult to choose from all the wonderful dishes. The wanton soup, salt and chilli prawns and bbq pork were delicious. The wait staff were great and the food was out in moments. We brought our own wine and the whole lot came to $40. Looking forward to going back again.
eaten at this restaurant many times. Peking duck great, fantastic spicy prawns, all food great. taken many friends and all agree great eating place and very reasonable.
The premises are not overly Flash but more than adequate, in the main street of town. If you like to have the taste buds assaulted with delicious flavors and superb dishes , well presented ... this should be on your list. We were 6 men out for a Boys feast, we ordered too much, ate most of it - Duck, RoastPork, Chicken, Fish, mixedVeges,Beans,Beef n Broccoli -- It all came to $122 --- what $20 a head ! ! The beauty too is its a BYO . Fantastic
Honestly Auckland's best kept Chinese secret. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone but this place is delicious, cheap-as, and fantastic service. I recommend you call infor your Peking Duck a day ahead but sometime they have some on the day of so no worries.
Love this place, it doesn't get much more authentic than this. Food is incredible, prices very reasonable, portions huge, atmosphere is buzzing.
It's BYO so take a bottle and enjoy the best Chinese cuisine in Auckland.
Fantastic food ... And plenty of it .... eaten here dozens of times and highly rate each visit. 10/10

Food was deviously good, restaraunt was quite busy but the food still was quick! Servers were nice too, no problems at all and portions were quite large. Big W from me gang 💯
Delicious food, but can be busy. Sweet n sour pork was awesome, peking duck and prawn stir fry was spot on. Staff were helpful. Decor requires a refresh as its lacking the authentic Chinese vibe, very tired but the food speaks for itself. Birkenhead parking is a challenge as there's not much parking out front.
Good to share with everyone
We ordered deep fried hole fish, But came the steamed fish🤷🏻♀️
I had the deep fried tofu, wasn't sure what the dish would be like, i.e. saucy or not, but very tasty. A spicy and dry dish, would definitely order again. The lady at the counter was very nice and help explain dishes I hadn't had before.
Became a Long time customer as our family loves this place! Food is super delicious and the owner is pretty friendly!
try them out as their chefs can cook amazing chinese foods! ❤️
Service good
Food is awesome , adequate seasoning, has free soup with generous filling, and they offer to refill too. If miss Chinese food can visit. Taste Similar to the nice Chinese restaurants in Malaysia.
Price should be adequate (not familiar to the price in NZ)
Definitely not a place you're going for the atmosphere because it's all just white haha, but you're going for the ability to have a massive meal with your entire family and you'll get just that. The Peking duck is still without a doubt my favourite thing. Order a lot and take your time.
Very nice Beijing duck. Meal prepared in relatively quick manner too.

Best Peking Duck (and the sauce!) I have ever had. Went to a few places, even the high end restos in the bougie CBD, and non compare to this establishment. Consistently delicious. My favourite Chinese restaurant. My Seattle family agree, the best Chinese food they have ever had.
The food portion is quite generous but it is very salty.
Very good food and service. The atmosphere was also really vibrant and fun
Delicious, authentic, and affordable.
I personally only order Cantonese dishes as this is what they do best. Friendly staff and spacious restaurant.
好好食！
Really great food! Not the traditional options you find at Chinese takeaways, so we had to try new dishes & my whole family thoroughly enjoyed them! Thanks, we'll be back, and perhaps next time we'll eat in 😁
