We haven’t been to Daphne’s since we moved back to chch and have been looking for a great Sichuan place to try. Daphne’s was great – we could have had it a bit spicier but the flavour was just as we like it! Will definitely be back.
This Chinese restaurant used to be our go to for Yum Cha, but it’s not as good as it used to be, I think they increased the use of MSG as our mouths got quite dry afterwards the last few times we had Yum Cha here. Their dinner meals are still decent though. The lady owner whom I assume is Daphne is very friendly.
Daphnes is the Chinese restaurant I always imagined. It extremely great value and busy atmosphere catered to everyone looking for a cheap, mostly healthy and great service. Considering how busy it is there the service is very good, always helpful and caters to my allergies. I’ve been there twice and had 1 takeaway which I ordered one of my favourites go to meals in CHCH, the delicious Chicken in a hot pot. The meat is always tender the veggies are always fresh, the presentation is average but is always served steaming hot. Daphnes is an ideal place for large gets to gathers for great Chinese food.
We planned for dinner and thought of giving this place a try since it was close to our home. Being a South Indian by origin I had very little exposure to authentic Chinese cuisine. However I would go by my instincts and rate the food by the taste. The Chilli beef was the best, spicy pork fillets was classified spicy and the waitress had a disclaimer but I would reckon most Indian foods are equally spicy so we were good. The hotpot chicken and chicken with barbecue sauce were also good. Ordered a medium bowl of rice I felt it was under cooked. The food was served quick and we paid 90 dollars for all of this. Finally I ordered Chinese ice tea which I thought was some authentic Chinese tea but got a canned iced tea which was not that good. Overall it’s a good place for a nice meal.
Value for money. I love their ma pa tofu must try dish. Service is not so good but the food is top notch and also the lady boss she is very courteous and generous. Compared to joyful i would prefer this restaurant.
Good food, decent portions, good ambience, and decent portion sizes. Strongly recommend their tofu sizzler. The behaviour of the waiting staff is excellent. They also have dim sum/yum cha option, which is also good.
Friendly lady boss that remembers us, because we are repetitive customers 😉 Food are good enough, big portion, decent price, fast serving especially dimsum/yumcha during brunch time. One time I had a bad but funny experience with the service from one of the waitresses last year, I’d take that as she wasn’t well experienced yet so I won’t blame her. I requested that waitress to help storing a birthday cake for my bf, and bring it out with lighted candles after our meal and I told her it was a surprise. However she still managed to bring out the desserts plates and a cake knife before the cake was even out, and on top of that she lighted the candles infront of us on the table. LOL.. Well clearly it didn’t turn out as a surprise anymore, we all had a good laugh about it and the waitress didn’t even have any clues why we laughed. haha.. Oh well despite what has happened, my bf~ which is my hubby now are still their repetitive customers. 😉
