East Chinese

Head down to Railway Street and you'll find East Chinese tucked in amongst the usual high street mix. It's the kind of place that doesn't bother with fancy décor or trying to be Instagram-worthy—they're just focused on getting the food right. You're looking at solid, unpretentious Chinese takeaway classics here: crispy chow meins, proper fried rice, and the sort of sweet and sour that reminds you why you keep ordering it. The 4.2-star rating from over a hundred reviews speaks volumes about consistency. Prices sit comfortably in the midrange, so you're not breaking the bank for a decent feed. Perfect for a Friday night when you can't be bothered cooking, or when you want something warm and satisfying without the theatre.
