Quick info
About China Kitchen
Orders are placed at the front counter at China Kitchen, a Chinese takeaway on Messines Terrace in Londonderry, where walk-in customers pay in cash as cards are not accepted. The kitchen works through a menu of around 95 dishes, with curries, including a veggie curry, and a salt and chilli chicken special among them. Starters run from chicken balls in portions of four or eight to spring rolls, cheese chicken rolls and honey ribs. Portions arrive large enough that customers split a dish between two or carry it over to a second day. Food is prepared and handed over quickly at the counter, and the shop opens daily in the evenings.

Customer Review Summary
Generous portions anchor most accounts, with one couple describing a veggie curry so large they split it between them and another reviewer reporting that a single order fed them for two days. Several frame that volume as good value for the money. Close behind sits the speed: one walk-in customer was ordered and served within ten minutes, and a delivery order placed after a neighbouring takeaway failed to answer its phone arrived quickly, with the food described as cooked to perfection. Front counter staff draw repeated praise as friendly and welcoming, and one regular notes the counter accommodated a request for a wetter curry without fuss. The clearest dissent comes from a diner who ordered the salt and chilli chicken special on a recommendation and found it nearly free of veg, with no discernible salt, garlic or chillies and only a few pieces of pepper and onion. One first-time customer mentions a free bottle of coke handed over with the order.
