Quick info
About The China House
On Merry St in Motherwell, The China House is a Chinese takeaway serving evenings only from Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Mondays. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis, with no reservation needed. The beef curry, made with topside beef, is a recurring order alongside chips and vegetable spring rolls as an add-on. Portion sizes across the menu run large, giving the takeaway range some weight beyond the usual sweet and sour and rice dishes. The counter handles collection only within its evening hours, and the format keeps the operation straightforward for anyone stopping by after work or in the evening for a full meal.

“Decent portions and very reasonable prices. Always a quick delivery too.”

“The best beef curry I've ever had from anywhere. Never tried anything else on the menu. (if you try it you'll understand why) Sauce has a little "kick" to it(in a completely glorious way). They use proper topside beef. When you try it, you realise that every other place ye've been ordering from for years have been giving you backside beef. Tellin ye. I normally pick up, but when I do get delivery its always been within 20 30 mins as well. staff are friendly and always smiling. If you try the beef curry and don't like it, you should go see a Dr.”

“Found this long dark hair in my food, owner wasn't interested used the poor girl that takes the calls to hide behind and she convinced him to give us a refund. He sent a driver out who put his feet inside my door shouting show me the hair repeatedly while my daughter was sleeping I've never experienced anything like it he then opened the food on his knees outside my door going through it saying where's the hair. I had to tell him to get away from my door. We will never be back again and I advise not ordering they took the food back I wouldn't put it past them to reuse it judging by the way they operate. Avoid this place I'm so disgusted with what I've experienced.”

“Excellent varied menu - lots to choose from. Portion sizes huge. Chips were one of the best I've had from a Chinese takeaway and another huge serving. Added extra of 6 vegetable spring rolls was a nice surprise. First visit and definitely won't be the last!”

“Have bought food from here a few times and always been lovely before. Not tonight though, can only describe the meal as really bad, chips were overcooked and mostly small dry and very crispy bits. Beef curry, what can I say, the meat wasn't right, it was similar to dried, brittle meat, definitely not fresh. Everything went in the bin.”

Customer Review Summary
Beef curry draws the sharpest opinions. One reviewer calls it the best they've had, with a little kick and topside beef, while another found the meat dry and brittle and binned the meal. Chips split reviewers too: one praised a huge serving, another got overcooked, crispy bits. Reviewers also mention big portions, quick delivery, and vegetable spring rolls added as a nice surprise.
