This place has been around for years use to walk past in my teens and use to order takeaways in my younger adult days. Now in my 40s we visited from Christchurch recently and stopped in for dinner, and owner was there and greeted us (swear she hasn’t aged). Food was delicious and plentiful we couldn’t eat it all so took some home. Support your local restaurant and this lovely family from the Hutt

Best Hutt Valley Yum Cha in Wellington region. Good selection of seafood, vege and steam dishes. Added to that the prices are reasonable compared to Wellington and Petone offerings. The staff are always friendly and attentive.

Our favorite family Yum Char in Wellington! Tasty food, a wide variety of food and at a reasonable price. We have been coming here for about 15 years and always enjoyed the experience and the food. Pays to book ahead you are going to have a big gathering, but if there are only a few of you you should be okay.

Had takeaways last night and they would have to be the best Chinese I have had in a very long time. Excellent fresh ingredients and beautifully cooked dishes ( orange beef, lemon chicken and chicken chow main. ) Delicious!!

Had been many years since I last visited Good World. Was back home in Lower Hutt and decided to return. Food is delicious, quick service, you don't wait long for your meals. Linda and Mike are lovely - hospitable, and friendly. Menu has lots of delicious options, and they have the capacity to cater for large groups, yum-cha etc. Recommend for an easy meal out. Take away also available.
