Famous House Chinese Takeaway

Famous House is a long-standing Chinese takeaway in the centre of Banchory and one of the busiest carry-outs in Royal Deeside. The menu covers the full sweep of Anglo-Chinese favourites, cooked to order with generous portions that keep locals coming back, and the kitchen is best known for its Crispy Aromatic Duck served with pancakes and all the trimmings. Friendly counter service, with manager Lewis often singled out by name in reviews, adds to the welcoming feel of the place.

It carries a solid 4.4/5 on Google drawn from well over five hundred reviews, an impressive volume that reflects just how established it is in the town. As with any high-turnover takeaway the feedback is not unanimous, and the occasional off dish is mentioned, but the weight of opinion points to dependable, satisfying Chinese food. For a no-fuss weekend feast to share at home, it remains a firm Deeside favourite among Banchory regulars.
