"Ordered combo A chips, a drink and options of diffrent burgers . I went with egg burger... Runny yolk... And that's exactly what I got. Was gooood. I did however forget to grab my drink from the fridge as I wasn't advised weather I grab it myself or they had a stash they handed over with the meal combo. When I grabbed my meal I forgot to ask. I Ordered a fish aswell. And it was good too. Been hitting this shop for like... 16 years now . This is the 1st time in about 5 years I've been here. Still yum looking Chinese food under the heaters. Was just freshly being stocked up for the late afternoon. 5/5 from me."

"I reckon the review that says this place has tasteless, unappealing food has mixed Ruataniwha with the shop down the road!! by far the most loaded with salt, sugar and flavour in town!! Chips are always good and best size scoops in town 10/10"
