Reviews 

•         “Honestly, the best Chinese I’ve had up in this part of the country. The hot and sour soup was the best I’ve ever had. I had crispy prawns with chilli and sesame oil. Out of this world. My husband loved his two curry dishes, not watery like some of the ones he’s ordered.”

Ta-Kee Curry House is known as one of the best Chinese takeaways in Stockton-on-Tees, serving up all the delectable food you want to sit down and eat in the comfort of your own student flat as a treat at the weekend. 

We like the 10” share munch box for £13, which is a 10” pizza box filled with salt and spicy chicken and chips, salt and spicy spare ribs, vegetable spring rolls, egg fried rice and curry sauce and chicken balls. Lovely stuff.

Reviews

•         “Best Chinese takeaway within Stockton, there is no doubting that… beautiful food every time, curry sauce blessed by the gods and without sounding slightly over the top I would happily shoot my Mrs over the edge of a cliff for a free house special chilli and garlic main (I wouldn’t even have to think about it) proper belter food.”
