About Little Taipei
Found at 507 Papanui Road in Papanui, Little Taipei is a Chinese restaurant that has become part of the Papanui dining scene. From the Christchurch city centre it is roughly 4.4 km away – a short drive, bus or bike ride.
The kitchen focuses on Chinese food. Dishes typical of this style include salt and pepper squid and yum cha / dim sum, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. It is one of 67 Chinese venues we list in Christchurch. The menu also crosses into Taiwanese territory.
You can visit any day of the week – Little Taipei opens daily. The earliest start is 11:30 am on Mondays, and the latest finish is 11 pm on Fridays. Late-night diners are catered for on Friday and Saturday. In total it trades for about 76 hours each week.
For budgeting, Chinese restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $20–$40 per person (Moderate). The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
