Polaris Chinese Takeaway

In South Shields, Polaris Chinese Takeaway has earned its reputation among locals who appreciate proper Cantonese cooking. This family-run spot keeps things straightforward—no frills, just the kind of food that makes you want to order again the next night. The kitchen turns out everything from sizzling chow mein to rich, glossy curry dishes that have a loyal crowd coming back week after week.

The chow mein here is a standout: properly wok-fried so the noodles take on that smoky, charred edge, packed with fresh vegetables and your choice of meat or seafood. Their curry sauce has a deep, warming spice that coats every ingredient without overwhelming it. Portions are generous, and the cooking stays true to what you want from a proper Chinese takeaway. Order online for delivery or collection—either way, it arrives hot and ready to eat.
