LV Yang Cun Shanghai Cuisine

One of the top 50 cheap eats venues of Auckland and deservedly so. This family run establishment in the heart of New Lynn offers wholesome and tasty Chinese dishes at incredibly reasonable prices. For $ 25 per head, we sampled around ten dishes including half crispy, half booked pork wontons, sweet and sour pork, pork belly in sticky XO sauce, salt and pepper pork, black pepper beef, shanghai noodles and twice cooked Peking duck! Meals were served in the order that they were prepared — hot off the pan. There’s a BYO wine policy, a fridge full of soft drinks and if you want a water glass, you’ll have to bring your own seeing as all they have for tea are cups. Sweet honest fare and well worth the trek if you live further afield. This place deserves to become a cult classic.
