Royal Garden Chinese

Went here when we first arrived in the country. 11 years on, still go there whenever we can. Have tried MANY Chinese restaurants over the years. By far and away the best Chinese restaurant in the North Island. Great food, great service and good sign is that Chinese people eat there too. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting good quality food.

Fantastic food best chinese in auckland Really great, quality is sensational , flavours are fantastic We had Peking duck two ways ...so yummy and tasty Service is great Easy to park A must visit

This has to be the best Chinese Food (takeaway) that I have bought in my 20 years in New Zealand.The quality of the dishes is very appealing, in that the vegies are freshly chopped (not frozen packet stuff), and the meat/chicken cuts are good; not fatty or grissely. The pricing seems to be the market average.Only thing missing from the takeaway menu is seafood. I don't understand why that is?

Freakin awesome every time. Every restaurant has its quirky things but if you don't take yourself too seriously, you'll see this place has the best darn chanese foo anywhere on the shore!<br/ <br/ Chilli and garlic salt and pepper prawns, lemon honey chicken and sweet and sour pork are my favs. I go there every time I have a colonoscopy and it really hits the spot.

I believe this is the best Chinese restaurant on the North Shore. The ingredients are tops....no corners cut here. The food is delicious. Our faves are Chilli Chicken, Salt and Pepper Squid, any of their prawn dishes (these are amazing prawns...not from Asia). The chicken entree in lettuce cups, likewise, is wonderful.The only downer we have found in more than 10 years is the satay stirfry dish, either beef or lamb. Can't remember. Their Peking Duck is fantastic...needs to be ordered ahead. Best shared by 6 people as an entree.<br/ <br/ All the usuals; sweet and sour, lemon chicken etc, are hugely nicer than we have had elsewhere. No gristle ...very good meat. Their seafood dishes also are great. The seafood is very fresh indeed.<br/ <br/ We really like spicy food and they take us at our word. Chilli chicken etc, is spiced to suit us very well indeed. <br/ <br/ The restaurant and bathrooms are unbelievably clean.<br/ <br/ Yes, the female owner is not overly friendly. But as you get to know her she becomes more friendly. Plus she is very busy.<br/ <br/ The food, cooked by her husband, is outstanding in my opinion.
