[Food] Best Chinese Takeaway in Brighton area?

[Westdene Seagull]

Wok 4 you has closed permanently? !! what! that's the one we use....

According to the recorded message when you ring to place an order. There was a day last week where myself and Mrs WS had a really crap day and couldn't be bothered to cook. Imagine how disappointed we were when we rang ! All is not lost though as there is a sign up saying under new management - hopefully they'll open soon and be just as good.

Speaking of kneejerk bollocks on this site, the comment "Steer clear of Chinese restaurants that only do takeaway" is up there with what makes NSC truly, truly great.

There is a superb Japanese restaurant called Bincho Yakatori down there, if you are lucky enough to get a booking. The Pork Belly and Chicken Skin are divine.

I was also told there was an authentic Chinese place too, down at the bottom end, (away from Western Road), with dishes like chicken feet on the menu, which attracts the local Chinese community in droves.

Sounds like my kind of place, with so much Chinese food in this country being Westernised, to appeal more to the average Brits taste buds.

Li's Sizzling House in Rottingdean is excellent, and reasonably priced. We got fed up with the really gloopy, stodgy food we got from our other local, so tried Li's on recommendation, & not been back to another Chinese takeout since. They also have a restaurant area to eat in.

That’s great , I wasn’t aware Rottingdean had a Chinese restaurant.

Since the fantastic Cheung's on Queens Road shut about 30 years ago, I haven't been able to find any Chinese that comes close.

Haven't been to Gars for a while so have to try it.

Its tucked out the way opposite the PO Sorting Office on Nevill Rd. Weve not had a sit down meal in there, but the takeaway food is great.

I'm less worried about the same wok and more concerned that it's next door to a vets

Happy Inn, Westdene. Been using it for just shy of 10 years and never had a bad one.

That's where I go. Wouldn't say never have a bad one but it's the best I've been able to find.

My mate used to go shooting foxes at night and used to drop a few of the kills at a Chinese restaurant / take away.

I wouldn't touch Chinese if you paid me to do so.

Enjoy .

But if it's expensive I'm sure you'll be happy

Wonderful critique though - Lots of sushi type food because it's all the same isn't it

It's almost as if the price is more important than the food, a restaurateurs dream customer

First class pisstaking.

I have this conversation quite a bit, I’m convinced Chinese food tasted way better in the 80’s compared to today. I used to love a Chinese as a kid for a birthday treat.

Gars isn’t bad at all. Had many a nice meal in there but for me it’s China Garden on Preston Street. Their lunchtime Dim Sum menu is very good indeed.
It’s just a step above. In my opinion anyway.

They’ve had the same wok for 20 years. It’s had 5 new handles and 4 new pans.

I’m a fan of thai and Vietnamese more these days, far healthier and more nutritious. Most in typical Chinese is sugary.

reckon thats because in the 80's Chinese was a bit exotic.
