China Cottage - Barnet

We have been enjoying their fantastic food for more than 25 years. In fact, I used to make the drive from Camden just to indulge in their delicious dishes! Without a doubt, this is the best Chinese takeout in North London, if not all of London. The restaurant is family-owned, and the owners are incredibly kind and helpful. The food is always prepared fresh to order and arrives quickly. Over the years, their dishes have consistently been top-notch. I highly recommend trying the salt and pepper chicken, it is absolutely amazing. But honestly, the entire menu is fantastic. Make sure to order double the mini vegetable spring rolls, as they are simply irresistible.

I have been ordering from this Chinese restaurant for over 20 years. The quality is always top-notch, and it's conveniently located near West Finchley tube station. I always get the salt and pepper prawns, and they never disappoint. However, I wish the Sichuan dishes were spicier.

I've been going to this chinese takeaway since I was a kid. All the other chinese takeaways I've had have never topped it and never will. It is for sure the best by far. So grateful to have it as my local. Can't stress enough how tasty it is and how lovely the family are that run it. Never going to stop coming.

A family run takeaway, in fact I've been using this place for so long the baby we use to see tucked away behind the counter playing whilst his parents worked the kitchen is now a grown up and often helps in the front. All the dishes taste fresh and not full of MSG as you get with other Chinese takeaways. This place is loved by all who live in the area and it's a bit of a local treasure. If you want to place an order on a Friday or Saturday night plan ahead because they get very busy.

This is definitely the best Chinese food I have ever had, especially in London. My partner's family has been loyal customers for years and absolutely love it. Everything was very fresh and homemade, with the crispy noodle dishes standing out as a highlight!
