Chinese Express

Chinese Express is the Chinese takeaway on Victoria Avenue in Borrowash, on the small parade of food shops that effectively handles the village evening trade. It is a Just Eat staple — over five hundred reviews on the platform, with a regular rating at four stars — which makes it one of the better-trafficked aggregator listings in the south-east Derby commuter belt.

The board runs the standard British-Cantonese list with appetisers, soups, curries, fried rice dishes and a seafood section that is broader than the village-takeaway norm. Delivery runs on £15-minimum orders with a small fixed fee, which is the standard arrangement for shops of this size. The kitchen trades evenings only, with a long single shift from late afternoon onwards. Reviews on the customer-rating platforms emphasise consistency and a generous portion size rather than ambition — the shop's strength is doing the standard menu well and delivering it hot. There is no dine-in; phone collection runs alongside the Just Eat and Uber Eats listings. Within the small Victoria Avenue parade — Chinese, fish and chips, Indian — Chinese Express holds the Chinese position.
