A good Chinese takeaway cooks fried rice, noodles and stir-fries to order in a very hot wok, so the food tastes smoky rather than greasy. Dishes are best eaten soon after cooking, and crisp items such as sweet and sour soften in a closed container, so ask for the sauce on the side if you have a drive home. Family packs are good value for groups, and regulars often order one shared dish per person plus rice. Friday evenings are busiest, so ordering ahead helps.
