This place should not have a 4 star rating. I think they may be riding the coattails of a previous owner. :( Yang chow fried rice $17 - container barely full. Light rice clumps - not mixed through very well and not very good flavour where there is flavour. Meat mostly dry and tough. Chicken chop suey $14.50 - Once again, barely filled, loosely packed. Very dark, unthickened sauce. Not very appetising. Hoki $3.80 - good flavour but super greasy and easily falling apart. Chips $3.00 - tiny for an Auckland takeaway restaurant. Only 35 chips (that's about 8.5 cents per chip!!! Not big chips either! See pic teaspoon for scale). I did eat the crabs tick or burger which weren't mine. I tried to get through to Sun Ma takeaway, but they stopped taking calls, so we went to my sister's 'usual' Welcome takeaways. I wasn't that impressed by the last food we'd got there, but I acquiesced and figured 'We'll get a couple handfuls of chips each and a piece of fish and there should be a bounty of food, which should be good enough'. I wasn't prepared for this. Go somewhere else - Glenfield Fast Food do a mean fried rice; great flavour, well cooked and mixed and the containers are so packed the lid co tours leav an impression in the rice and you're wondering how to get it out without spilling it everywhere. I hope Glenfield Fast Food know how to do a 'takeaway serving' of chips, unlike these MacDonald's sized serves. It wasn't even worth putting tomato sauce...

Everything was cooked perfectly, couldn't find a fault tbh and not sure what the previous bad reviews are but hopefully they can consistently deliver to their customers and increase their rating. Fish and chips were drained well, light Crispy batter around the fish and crab stick what I love to see! They were seasoned well. Fried rice was really good too, didn't grab some of that! And the chow mein was also a treat.
I would say the highlight for sure was the sweet and sour pork!!! Crispy fluffy in a perfectly balanced sweet but not too sweet & sour sauce. Absolutely have to put it on your next order! When you order this try to consume it asap to get the best experience, it's probably my fav item on the menu for sure. Its not the glutinous covered small meat, but a deep fried battered sized pork dosed in goodness. Need to try this sweet &...
