Ni Hao Takeaway

Ni Hao is a small Chinese takeaway on Waterloo Street, sitting in the busy west-of-centre stretch that runs back toward Shobnall. It's a counter-and-collection shop rather than a sit-in, with a long-running reputation among local Chinese-food regulars for clean, well-run service and food that comes out promptly.

The menu sticks to a standard British-Cantonese frame — set meals, sweet-and-sour pork, salt-and-pepper chicken wings, chow mein in singapore, beef, or house-special builds, plus the usual curry sauces and chips. Portion sizes draw consistent praise; reviews mention that prices are slightly above the cheapest Burton-takeaway competition but the quality and the speed of turnaround justify the bump.

Decor inside is straightforward — a TV on the wall while you wait — and the place trades on regulars who know what they like rather than walk-in trade. A solid mid-tier Chinese for this side of Burton, useful particularly if Lucky House or Canton Chef on Horninglow Road feel too far out and you want a tidier-than-average wait area while your food cooks.
