A good Chinese takeaway cooks hot, fast dishes to order, with fried rice, noodles and wok dishes that arrive fresh and well seasoned. The best way to order is to share a few dishes between you, such as a rice or noodle dish, a meat dish with sauce and a vegetable or tofu dish, and to ask how spicy dishes are. Busy dinner times mean a wait, so ordering a little ahead or visiting earlier in the evening helps. Check your order before leaving, and eat soon, since fried food and noodles are best hot. If a dish is not right, say so politely and early, as most shops will want to put it right.
For Kilbirnie locals and families on Bay Road, it is a handy option for a quick Chinese meal.
