Cheek And Chong - Orewa

Love this place. The only thing that can be a bit upsetting is that it is quite pricey. It's definitely more worth it with a group, however the food is so good you don't want to share it......  Relaxed environment, and dellliiiccciiouusss food.  Also, remember the dishes don't come with rice unless specified.

Yummy fusion food filled with flavour.I have been here many times and enjoyed the food every time. After having traveled to many parts in south east Asia multiple times, I love coming here.Definitely not specifically one country cuisine, the chef is enjoying their creativity. Every dish has a unique taste with lots of flavor and spice. It is pricey compared to the other food outlets in orewa but you get what you pay for.My family loves sharing dishes when we eat out, and this place is perfect for it. Sharing dishes means every person is able to taste a wide variety of the flavours this restaurant has to offer.Service is ok, I think the wait staff are still finding their feet.Looking at the other reviews I have a feeling that the demographic of orewa may not be 100% right for this food. If you are looking for a cheap Chinese takeaway, this is not the place to come.I look forward to eating here next time.Thank you!!

The food is always delicious, every time! The staff are super friendly and always helpful. And it’s so great to have something different locally to eat!

It's alright, got crispy duck, pork belly and beach rolls. Beach rolls were lovely, sauces worked well. But crispy duck and pork belly were a bit sickly... the meat was cooked perfectly but the sauces were just too much in my opinion. Service was OK. Not overly friendly nor overly rude. <br/ <br/ <br/ UPDATE: The second time I went there, much better service and much better food? Although the same menu the flavours were so much more bareable and really enjoyed the food (got pretty much the same stuff as last time)! The staff was great, although engaging in conversation usually takes more effort on the customers side when it would be nice to see the waiter/resses engaging first (although i understand how busy that place is most of the time). Only one problem, the sediment in the red wine... You cant just tell people its to enhance flavour to avoid the fact that your not going to aerate your wine, i understand only higher end restuarants generally do this and a lot of the time opening the bottle aerates it but its not on to tell customers otherwise. There is sediment because it hasnt been aerated, they dont keep it in there to enhance flavour...

Popped in to Cheek n Chong with my family and some family friends for dinner one night as Dad had been there before and raved about it. My friend and I both got a mojito and we couldn't really find much on the menu that we liked so we got some rice to share and we got the fried chicken wings, wok tossed greens and the green beans. The veggies were quite spicy but still good and the chicken was good. The interior is decorated so well and its always buzzing in there so must be quite popular. Will probably be back :
