Chinese food has always been a favourite for takeaway lovers, but there’s something truly special about Chinese street food. In bustling cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, street food stalls serve quick, flavour-packed dishes that people enjoy on the go. The best part? You don’t need to travel far to taste it anymore—many of these authentic dishes are now available for delivery right to your doorstep through Foodhub.
Here’s your guide to some of the most popular Chinese street food favourites you can now order at home.
🥡 Chow Mein – The Street Food Classic
Chow Mein is one of the most iconic dishes found on Chinese streets and UK takeaway menus. Stir-fried noodles tossed with vegetables, tender meat, and savoury sauces make it a comforting and satisfying meal. Whether you prefer chicken, beef, or veggie Chow Mein, it’s the perfect street-style dish to enjoy at home.
🍛 Chinese Curry – Warming and Flavourful
Chinese Curry has become a takeaway essential in the UK, but it’s also a popular street food in parts of China. With its fragrant spices, rich sauce, and tender meat, it’s the perfect comfort dish for a night in. Pair it with Chinese Rice or noodles, and you’ll have a filling meal that captures the true essence of Chinese street dining.
🍜 Chinese Noodles – Quick, Fresh, and Delicious
Noodles are the backbone of Chinese street food. In night markets, you’ll often find vendors pulling and cooking noodles right in front of you. At home, you can still enjoy that same freshly made taste with takeaway Chinese Noodles. From spicy Sichuan noodles to classic egg noodles, every bite delivers authentic flavour and comfort.
🍚 Chinese Rice – A Street Food Staple
No Chinese meal is complete without rice. Street food stalls often serve it in the form of fried rice, packed with vegetables, egg, and your choice of meat. Whether you order egg fried rice, chicken fried rice, or a classic plain rice to pair with Chinese Curry, it’s a must-have addition to any Chinese food feast.
🥢 Cantonese Dishes – A Taste of Tradition
Cantonese cuisine is known for its light, fresh, and flavourful dishes, and many of them are rooted in street food culture. From roast duck to dim sum, Cantonese dishes bring a unique variety to your takeaway menu. Ordering them at home gives you a chance to explore authentic flavours without stepping outside.
🍲 Soups – Comfort in a Bowl
Chinese street food isn’t just about quick bites—it’s also about warmth and comfort. Soups like hot and sour soup, wonton soup, or chicken sweetcorn soup are street food favourites that many UK takeaways deliver today. They’re light, flavourful, and the perfect starter to your meal.
