123 Chinese Take Away

123 Chinese Take Away has held a position on Keptie Street — the long working street that runs north from central Arbroath toward the Keptie Pond and the residential inland belt — for many years, and is one of the more recognised Chinese takeaways in the burgh. The business trades through 123 Chinese Takeaway Limited (Companies House SC346757) and runs the operation as a phone-and-collect Chinese with a delivery option through the established platforms.

The kitchen runs the standard Cantonese-with-curry-section menu the east-coast Scottish takeaway trade expects: chow mein and foo yung, sweet-and-sour, salt-and-pepper plates, fried-rice plates, curry-on-chips and a banquet menu for collection orders. Reviewers note the prawn crackers come complimentary with orders, the food arrives hot, and the service is quick — particularly the friendly counter staff and the in-house delivery. Sluurpy aggregates a score of 82/100 across over a thousand reviews, with the most common positive being the consistency of the food and the portion sizes for the price.

Keptie Street itself takes its name from Keptie Pond — the small park-and-water-feature lake at the top of the street, on the rising ground above the centre of the burgh.
