China Diner - County Durham

China Diner in Durham serves the best fried rice in town, no question about it. Their chow mein, dumplings, and crispy beef are also absolutely delicious. After living in the area for a decade, China Diner is still our top choice for Chinese takeout.

We have been ordering from this restaurant for years, but tonight's Cantonese and chow mein dishes were disappointing. The chow mein only had onions, no other vegetables, and only 4 prawns. Considering the prices they charge, there should be more vegetables included, not just onions.

Despite some initial skepticism after reading reviews, we decided to try the takeaway at this restaurant as we were staying at Travelodge and didn't feel like going out to eat. To our pleasant surprise, the food was still hot when we got back to our hotel and tasted great. We had no complaints at all and even chatted with a local who recommended the place. While it may be more expensive than we are used to paying in the south, we thought it was worth it.

Phoned twice me then husband to order food nobody speaks English can’t understand allergies and being anaphylactic can’t even understand that we wanted no sweet and sour sauce but curry sauce gave up in the end went elsewhere to another local Chinese takeaway what a difference in service so professional unlike these reporting to council as they are putting peoples life at risk as they can’t understand basic English

Tried China dina instead of my usual take away this week and was disappointed. Food luke warm. Chicken synthetic tasting and rubbery....also cost more than I usually pay. no freebie either on an order for £20.
