Tong's Takeaway — Restaurant in North Island

I found around 10 insects in my Noodle Soup, and the previous Fried Rice I ordered was partially overcooked so had a lingering burnt taste. I've only been twice and will not be coming back!

I was enjoying my meal when I picked out a gnat-like bug from the soup. I didn't think much of it, and tried my best to enjoy the rest of the meal, as bugs aren't always avoidable. However, I noticed after almost finishing my meal that each of the black specks is also a bug! I took closeups photos where you can clearly see their legs and body. The dish was a noodle soup and did not have pepper or black spices. I suspect the bugs are from the unwashed Bok Choy.

While one bug might be understandable or even tolerable, the fact that the dish was filled with more bugs than pieces of meat and veges is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable! I don't tend to write reviews, but really needed to share this as it's beyond yuck and hope it serves as a warning to others.

Perhaps the fish n chips would be cleaner, but their poor track record so far does not inspire much...

We were on our way to another place but they were closed so we popped in here and I'm so glad we did! Delicious food with good portions and great prices. We got the duck fried rice, sweet and sour chicken with white rice, and the Shanghai stir fried noodles with pork for only $35 and it was all phenomenal! Owners were very friendly as well. They seem to be popular for fish and chips as well as we saw locals stopping in for that throughout our meal.

Would definitely recommend and would stop here again next time...

The 4 stars are for the food. We ordered: Shrimp fried rice - yummy Combination Chow Mien - yummy Beef brisket on rice - soft and succulent Salt & pepper Squid - one of the best in the City The place is centrally located in the suburb of Kilbirnie. The shop is neat and simple with 3 tables for four. Parking is on-street. Phone order for pick up available. I will...
