The China House was my parents' port of call for Chinese takeaway back when they were just young things living in the East End, but it continues to be our very favourite since moving to the leafy suburbs of Uddy. (20 years ago...wow!)
Don't think I've ever had anything I didn't like out of here, although I do tend to stick to the same things! But in my defence, we don't often get a takeaway and I sometimes find myself craving their Chow Mein! (Chicken or char siu pork, get fine noodles cause they're amaaazing. I even craved it when I was baking in the hot sun in Tenerife this year, true story.) I can also vouch for the chicken and ham fried rice, chicken in black bean sauce, spring rolls, ribs, and salt and chilli chicken wings - all delicious! My folks are big fans of their chicken curry as well, but as per I can't handle it cause it's just too nippy for me.
The actual restaurant is great as well, I've had loads of brilliant meals here and everything is reasonably priced! They've usually got some sort of Set Menu on the go which has loads of great choices. The pineapple fritters are an absolute must as well, especially if you decide to share them and a portion of ice cream with another person - what a combo!! Although it's not very big, it's a quaint little joint and they're also good at catering for larger parties - I've had at least one family meal here and there were a fair few of us!
So in summary, if you live near enough to get a takeaway from here or for some reason find yourself out Shettleston way, you can't go wrong with The China House :) read more
