Hai Yan Chinese Restaurant, Gisborne (Chinese Cuisine) - Order online from our menu

"Very busy long wait for all of our banquet. Lovely staff and food good. Didn't get the coffee we ordered and by three hours in, nah.

"Food is fantastic and the décor of the restaurant is excellent. We had an exceptional meal and were delighted to find the place open during Covid with the correct social distancing. Thank you for a great night.

"Absolutely FANTASTIC! We had a Chinese banquet for 35 people for my birthday! Plenty of parking; food was scrumptious; and our lovely hostess even found time to chat with each of the kids (7, from a few families). We highly recommend this restaurant!

"Well, we normally go to the other Chinese restaurant in Gisborne but it was closed. So we thought we'd try this one. Wish we hadn't wasted our money. Pork in batter with sweet and sour sauce, so dry and crunchy, the sauce, nothing sour about it only sweet. The beef with steak and vegetables absolutely no flavour. Fried rice over boiled gluggy rice, again no flavour and not sure if it was actually ever fried in a pan. Very disappointed, especially when we were there just after opening hours tonight at 5 pm. You'd think it would be fresh, fresh fresh, not hospital bland food. Michael.

"Service fast although I was only dine in customer. Was almost closing time on a Friday night. After meal was supplied got ignored (this happens at most Chinese restaurants) Meal was average, will try other place next time.
