A1 Takeaways Hong Kong Style BBQ — Restaurant in North Island

Love this place!!! Freshly roasted Chinese style duck, and crispy roast pork, which is what we got. Great to take round to add to the family dinner. They don't use MSG flavouring, big bonus! Authentic Chinese menu, lovely family owners, giving great food at very reasonable prices. Cheers 😍

My friends and I went there for lunch today, dined in. They have about 4 tables there. We were lucky to get a table because the others were taken. Very busy little place, people coming in for takeaways, and to just buy Roast duck, Roast pork, or Char Sui pork. One of my favourite meals is Pork Wonton Soup, which I had today. It comes with some Chinese vegetable, and some char sui pork...all in a clear broth. One of my friends got the deep fried wontons, and spring rolls. And the other friend ordered the same as me. We all enjoyed our lunch. Very reasonable prices too, I think the Wonton Soup was $17.00 Love this place...

Confused 😕

I ordered the duck with plum sauce on rice and a dozen fried wonton. I did not get what I was expecting. Everything was cooked well but it was the flavors that left me going... what?!

The wonton, crispy, cooked to perfection but they had hardly any filling and were filled with just prosciutto???? Served with a watery sweet chilli. Very weird and I didn't like it at all.

Then the duck dish, duck cooked beautifully on rice, couldn't see much sauce and carrot and undercooked onion slices. The sauce tasted more like sweet n 'sour and not the rich plum sauce I was hoping for.

Cooking was great, flavours were strange. My son and I probably won't be back - it was not what we were...

We thought we would try food from A1 tonight and I really wish I had of gone to our favorite Chinese Takeaway place.

I ordered Chicken Chowmein which was bland, we played spot the vegetables and added our own Soya Sauce, Salt n pepper to give it some flava, this was a flow on effect with the Chicken egg foo yong which was a 2 egg omelet with chicken in it,

Sweet and Sour pork was terrible and we basically got a large serving size spoonful of crispy hard bits of pork something on one side of container with the other filled with rice.

The one dish that was half tasty was the crispy pork fried rice and the small bag of chips.

Total spent $51 will never go back there...
