Hong Kong Takeaway

Hong Kong Takeaway is the small Chinese on Derby Street, in the residential south-east stretch of central Burton-upon-Trent near the Cooper's Square ring. It's a counter-and-collection shop rather than a sit-in — no dine-in option — with a menu that runs the standard British-Cantonese roster of sweet-and-sour chicken balls, fried rice, chow mein, spring rolls, barbecued spare ribs and the usual curry-sauce dishes.

The shop runs late-night service, which is the main draw: orders go out into the early hours and complementary prawn crackers and spring rolls get folded in with most deliveries. Reviews are mixed — positive notes mention quick delivery, hot food and good-sized portions; negatives focus on blandness when the kitchen is busy and inconsistent service.

It's a useful late option for the Derby Street and Anglesey Street area when the bigger Chinese shops elsewhere in town have shut their counters — particularly for households wanting the cheap-and-quick end of the menu rather than New Diamond's more polished output. Pricing fits the lower-middle range of the local Chinese market.
