City Cafe Asian Cuisine - Christchurch

The food here is incredible. We've tried various Asian cuisines, but this one is by far the best. The fried rice, in particular, is outstanding.

What a fantastic little gem tucked away behind a worn-out sign! This is, without a doubt, the most delicious food I've had in Christchurch so far, and I can understand why the reviews are so positive. The talented woman in the kitchen is truly impressive, operating solo, which is arguably even more remarkable than AFG with their entire team. The wait is definitely worth it. We tried the fried rice and curry laksa, and I can't wait to return!

The food is exceptional—it's the best Asian cuisine I've had in New Zealand. There's one woman who manages everything, from cooking to serving customers, so be ready to wait about 40 to 60 minutes for your meal. However, it's definitely worth the wait, and I can't wait to return! I highly recommend it—1000%!

Loved this place we got the Laksa and Char Hor Fun (gravy noodles). Just like others said, can be slow since only one women works there. She is kind and takes care of her craft also just a light reminder that she is the only one working there and just trying to make a living herself. I can imagine right now she can’t justify paying another employee given increasing costs etc. If you don’t have the patience to wait around, then you might be disappointed.

Amazing food but a bit of a wait time (since the owner is the only staff). Would recommend order before you go or do takeaway if you're in a rush. Definitely try the fried rice, so good!
