Chungs

This Govan Road address has operated as a Chinese takeaway under several names over the years — Hoi Sun, Chungs and latterly New Mei Xin. Local customers have long called it Chungs regardless of what the menu card says, which is a mark of the embedded familiarity that keeps a neighbourhood takeaway trading across decades of change. The kitchen serves a standard Cantonese menu covering curries, chow mein, fried rice and the starter dishes that British-Chinese takeaways have made ubiquitous. It is a reliable fixture on this stretch of Govan Road, open most evenings with delivery available through the main platforms for the surrounding South Side streets. In a neighbourhood with a strong tradition of supporting its local Chinese, Chungs has been part of the furniture for a long time.
