China Express

China Express on Northgate is the central Darlington Chinese takeaway — operated by China Express (Darlington) Ltd and trading from its own site at chinaexpressdarlingtononline.co.uk. Reviewers single out the Chinese chicken balls and the broad sauce range — black bean, satay, oyster and garlic.

The shop sits on the Northgate parade alongside AFC and Uncle Sams, Milanos and Pizza Box. Collection from Northgate; local delivery across central Darlington.
