Chinese Takeaways and Restaurants in Blackrock

Chinese takeaway for delivery or collection

In Chinese tradition, food is meant for sharing, and you notice that when you order with a gang - swapping a few saucy noodles for a crispy chicken ball, give us a taste of those prawns, how’s that curry sauce?

Of course, there’s nothing like devouring a favourite Chinese meal all by yourself!

Chinese food brings people together, and indeed, it’s brought nations together. We’re not sure the Irish favourites like 3-in-1 are eaten in Shanghai, but we’re happy it’s available here!

You’ll get a culinary tour of the Red Dragon with dishes from places like Szechuan, Guangdong (Cantonese), Zhejiang, and Beijing all from the comfort of your own home.

Mouth-watering dishes like dim sum (yum yum!), noodles, chow mein and sweet and sour have become classic meals that are sure to kung-pao your taste buds. Duck's a treat that we don’t generally cook ourselves so ordering in gives us the chance to try a dish that’s sweet, savoury, smoky, and crisp. It’s the variety that makes Chinese food special - every bite is an explosion of contrasting textures and flavours.

Chinese food is often seen as a guilty pleasure, but there are plenty of dishes that are healthy, vegetarian and vegan. And of course, the spring rolls! No Chinese takeaway would be complete without these deep-fried nuggets of happiness. Just don’t forget the dipping sauce!

Popular dishes

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and Sour Chicken is a real people’s palate pleaser. Savour it in two ways. Firstly, Balls. Yep, deep-fried-chicken-nugget-like chunks in batter, with a sticky dipping sauce melded from sugar, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce and ginger. The second is Peking Style – carved chicken breast that is doused in said syrupy sauce. Britain’s most popular way to chow down is Chow Mein. Chicken, Pork, Shrimp or Special all offer the sensory combination of slippery noodles, crunchy beansprouts and crispy water chestnuts. The UK’s most popular rice dish is House Fried Rice (aka Special Fried Rice) and the Just Eat app will help get it ‘in da house’. It boasts generous portions of shrimp and barbequed pork, scrambled together with egg and rice. Too many ingredients for you? Then Egg Fried Rice will fit the bill. Simpler still? Then it boils down to plain ol’ Plain Rice.

Crispy Aromatic Duck

Love-a-duck? You’ll adore Crispy Aromatic Duck with its mouth-watering ritual of spreading Hoisin sauce on steamed pancakes then artfully adding spring onion, cucumber and succulent shredded duck. Roll, and then…yep…just eat. (Only question is: quarter duck, half duck or the full Mallard?) Wonton Soup has dumpling-like wrappers stuffed with pork and shrimp, seasoned with ginger and soy then simmered in chicken stock – come on, you know you wonton. If not, Hot & Sour Soup has ingredients like mushrooms, bamboo shoots and chillies that make it nicey & spicy.
