China Chef

China Chef has served Fauldhouse from its Market Place spot for well over a decade, covering the kind of no-fuss Chinese menu that ex-mining village evenings call for. Crispy duck, sweet and sour chicken, salt and pepper dishes, and a solid range of curry sauces make up the core, with munchie boxes doing brisk business among younger regulars. The kitchen keeps things straightforward — Cantonese-led cooking with reliable execution rather than culinary ambition — and the portion sizes have kept a loyal local following coming back. For a small village that lost much of its high street trade over the years, having a long-standing takeaway that knows its community is worth more than novelty. Collection is the default here, with the Market Place location making it easy to drop in on the way home.
