“Great chinese takeaways - what it says on the tin”

Girven Road Takeaways
Ranked #82 of 119 Restaurants in Mount Maunganui
Cuisines: Chinese
Restaurant details
Reviewed 21 December 2014

Girven Rd Takeaways is our "go-to" place for cheap, healthy, fast and delicious takeaways. We've been going there for over 20 years (we moved to Papamoa in June 1994) and I can honestly say we've never been disappointed with the food or service. Sometimes when it's busy you have to allow them more time than the "10 minutes" they seem to always say, probably to not put you off.

We have Yeung Chow fried rice, chicken fried noodles, spring rolls and terakihi and chips - sometimes kumara chips too. Never been disappointed and on one occasion when they forgot to put the cashes in the rice, they actually rang me to apologise and made sure they fixed it next time.

If you're looking for fine dining then you're in the wrong place - this delivers exactly what they advertise and charge accordingly.

The lemon chicken ($12). There was no chicken just very thin tiny pieces of some type of reconstituted sinewy stringy pressed chicken offal. There was no lemon flavour or any other flavour to the sauce, except a sugary sweetness. The place is absolutely filthy. Avoid it like the plague.
