Lakeside Takeaway

Lakeside Chinese Takeaway is tucked inside the Watermead development on the north-western edge of Aylesbury, serving the waterside housing estate that grew up around the restored Grand Union Canal basin. The menu is a wide-ranging Cantonese spread: crispy duck pancakes, king prawn in black bean, egg-fried rice, and a solid roster of noodle dishes. Reviewers describe it as "by far the best Chinese we have had including restaurants" for its clean flavours and genuinely friendly service. A Food Hygiene rating of 5, awarded November 2024, supports that picture. The takeaway closes Mondays, and the kitchen is known for consistent quality across the week.
