Google lists: takeaway · outdoor seating · lunch · dinner. > This place has nice chips BUT!!! The service is hopeless. I have called several times to order food get there to pick it up and they have not cooked it and keep saying sorry that they forgot. Not just once 4 times this has happen. I call to order so when I get there it would be ready. Maybe dnt have a phone line if you dnt do the phone orders!!!, kathy tausili, 4 months ago > Best chips in chch the outside is golden and crispy and the inside is soft and perfectly cooked. Highly highly recommend, Sue Ozaki, 3 months ago > Last few times we have been normally getting a tray of mixed food, it hasn’t been all that great. It seems pretty busy but the foods not all that fresh. Sweet n sour pork- when you actually get some meat and not tonnes of vegetables the chunks are hard dry and yuck (like it’s been reheated) Honey chicken , is a bit the same. The sliced pork, is dry and wasn’t all that appetising Rice and noodles- are flavourless and sometimes dry Pretty disappointing as it’s not that cheap Use to be yum not sure what’s happened., Lilly Rose, a year ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.49811592457573&lon=172.5723556153896) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.49811592457573,172.5723556153896,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Nice%20Cook%20Chinese%20Restaurant%20and%20Takeaways) - [Burnside](https://www.chch.live/burnside), the suburb ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Nice Cook Chinese Restaurant and Takeaways?** A restaurant in Burnside, Christchurch. **Where is Nice Cook Chinese Restaurant and Takeaways?** 60 Kendal Ave, Russley, the map pin sits in Burnside, on [Kendal Ave](https://www.chch.live/street/burnside/kendal-avenue).
