晋丰小馆 Best Wok Restaurant — Restaurant in Christchurch

The newest addition to the retail hub in Wigram with it's pros and cons. Pros: nice, comforatable setting with a private function room, food is very tasty with great-sized portions and price between $20-$30 for a main dish (our total bill for three people was $71).

Cons: The following comments I am hoping are only teething problems being a new restaurant (despite, this being the owners/operators second restaurant)....but (a) it took a while for our order to be taken although, the waitress was informative and answered our questions diligently, (b) one of our main dishes was served before our entree so this was taken back, (c) our entree was finally served after 50mins of our order being taken, (d) our mains were served one at a time with long delays between each one. We were so hungry we'd finished the first main before the last dish arrived by which time we were quite full but somehow managed to stuff in the last dish anyway (they all tasted so good!), (e) we had finished our first jug of water and at no time during our meal were we offered any other beverages (they're still waiting for their liqour license) (f) they DO NOT accept credit card payments (yet) - and this is NOT advertised until you go to pay!!

The head waitress came to apologise for the major delays in our meal service which was great and we were thankful for the acknowledgement.

All in all, it was a great dining experience. As stated above, being a new place it has a few things to iron out so we'll be looking forward to going back.... next...

Lamb noodle soup (羊肉烩面) 🍜. Served with thin lamb 🐑 slices, a few pieces of Chinese cabbage (bok choy) and one quail egg 🥚. I have to say that it was delicious 😋.

The noodle texture was different; handmade, silky [smooth] and less bouncier compare to machine made noodles. The soup/ broth was very flavoursome with a bit of spiciness from grounded white pepper. They use and boil the lamb chops 🥩 + plus other ingredients to make the soup/ broth and simmer it overnight. Hence, the soup/ broth is white in color and taste good 👍. It definitely goes well with chopped coriander leaves and fermented garlic cloves.

Overall, it was a good experience from this Chinese restaurant. This is a licensed (🍻🍸🍷🍾🍹🍺) eatery. There is plenty of seating area. There is plenty of parking 🅿. They accept cash and EFTPOS including credit card payments (Paywave payments are available, for those who wants to know). Would I go back? Yes 😀. Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. It was yummy. Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Reasonably priced. Customer service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. The staff were friendly.

I had travelled many asian countries and one of my most favorite food is Singapore fried vermicelli noodle. I had also tasted some of the resturants at Auckland till I found this restaurant at Wigram Best Wok. A year ago, I stepped into Best Wok and ordered Singapore fried vermicellie noodle (not on the menu) (it is a top secret best food hidden). To my surprise when my noodle was brought to my table, it looked so beautiful that I cannot believe my eyes (they had changed the owner and chef and now the new chef and owner gave the food a life that will impress the customers). I took the first bite and my eyes were almost filled with tears with happiness. I have never tasted this wonderful Singapore vermicellie noodle in my whole life. This is the best Singapore vermicellie that I ever had if you love exotic food. If you love vermicelle, never...
