Youngs Chinese

Youngs Chinese was a Longbridge Road takeaway at the premises now occupied by Ozturk, serving the residential community between Barking town centre and Upney with a standard British-Cantonese menu. Chow mein, fried rice, sweet-and-sour chicken and spring rolls formed the backbone of the offer, with a full starters and mains list catering to the Friday-night takeaway habit that sustains small Chinese kitchens in east London neighbourhoods. The Longbridge Road corridor has seen several name changes at various addresses over the years, reflecting the competitive and sometimes transient nature of local takeaway trading.
