Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Tasty and low key was exactly what I was looking for. I walked around the city and found all the restaurants to be too loud so I decided to come here because I'm staying at Hotel Give. The place was pretty quiet but based on...the conversations I was hearing, this place is full of regulars who love this place. I had their twice cooked eggplant and a mixture of dumplings. They were both delicious. I had wanted to order more but they warned me that it would be too much and they were right, I overate. and didn't finish my food. The texture of the eggplant was incredibly crispy and the dumplings had the perfect al dente bite to it. I would probably come here regularly if I lived here too.More

The restaurant is at the bottom of the ymca in Christchurch ie Hotel Give. A warm welcome and uncomplicated menu but holy moly the food is excellent. Don’t let the location let you think it is going to be sub par. Give it a go!

Best Asian I’ve had in years. Very fresh, crisp and full of flavor. The crispy eggplant is without a doubt the nicest meal I’ve ever had. The only downside is that I discovered this on my second last night here. And yes I went again...on my last. Outstanding.More

On the opposite corner to the Arts Centre Cnr. of Hereford Street & Rolleston Ave, this great restaurant/bar, With a small but excellent menu including Asian & Western dishes, all beautiful prepared by experienced hands. The owners are delightful & friendly people who really care...about their customers & go out of their way to please. Along with the food there’s a good drinks list which includes the award winning, locally brewed Cassels beers, wi es & spirits. The place is warm & comfortable, service is good & timely, we loved it.More

I'm so glad I came across this restaurant. The food and service was absolutely amazing. Wonderful atmosphere. We had the must-try eggplant, dumplings, yellow curry, and sweet and sour pork. Everything was delicious, including the drinks, I live out of town, and it chose it...as a place for our family to meet up when I came to tech, because it was central and had good parking. If I lived locally, then I'd go all the time.More

Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. I had dinner with my friend last night. The food was amazing and we had a wonderful evening meal. The pork and prawn dumplings were fresh and with mouth-watering sauce. The Chinese fried Chicken and crispy eggplant were...outstanding. My partner and I shared a Beijing duck and Mongolian lamb. Yummy!!!!. I will definitely recommend my friends to come and try. Thanks for having us and will definitely visit again.More
