Chinese Takeout

The New Diamond Chinese Takeout — the trading name at this address — has been on the Brechin High Street parade for over twenty years, making it one of the longest-running Chinese takeaways in the Angus royal burgh. The shop sits on the upper run of the High Street between the Round Tower end of town and the lower High Street commercial belt, and has built a strong local following with a 4.4 Restaurant Guru average across 70 reviews — an unusually high number for a small-town Chinese in inland Angus.

The kitchen runs to the Cantonese-with-curry-section menu the east-coast Scottish takeaway trade expects: chow mein and foo yung, sweet-and-sour, salt-and-pepper plates, chicken curry, fried rice and set meals for two and three. Reviewers consistently flag the excellent food quality, the generous portion sizes, the quick delivery and the friendly drivers as the regular positives. Trade runs Wednesday to Sunday through the evening from late afternoon to 10pm, with Monday and Tuesday closed — a settled pattern after more than two decades on the street.

The Brechin High Street runs through the centre of the burgh, a short walk down from the Round Tower and Cathedral.
