Benton’s Restaurant moved into Riccarton, just in front of Riccarton Mall, nearly a year ago.
Same menu, delivering the same great food, and in my opinion a better restaurant experience.
It has become my go to Chinese restaurant, and there are a few dishes that get me coming back time after time.
The spicy lamb with cumin seeds sizzle plate is mouthwatering. (also a beef option) and the fried beans in garlic sauce a awesome balance of crisp, delicate and garlic laced. The natural sweetness of the young beans is the dominant flavour… delightful. This is one of the fried bean dishes are on the menu) I could continue, but the menu is packed with great flavoured dishes, so try a few for your self.

Excellent meal – Great selection of Northern and Southern Chinese dishes – Very reasonable price for the alcohol. Friendly staff – Excellent toilet facilities – Great price – Have returned with friends many times
