Chinese Take-Out?

by Todd Pharris » Tue Aug 07, 2007 12:39 pm

I would appreciate a recommendation for a place to pick up good, fast take-out Chinese food.

I live near Hike's Point, work off of Hurstbourne Lane, and hang out in St. Matthews, the Highlands, and Crescent Hill/Clifton.

Thanks.

Todd, I don't know about takeout specifically, but Oriental House (Shelbyville Road at Fairmeade, a block or two east of Hubbards Lane) is one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. I prefer their authentic menu (which is available in both Chinese and English), but even their standard old-fashioned Chinese-American dishes are well-made.

The Great Wall on lower Brownsboro next to the dirty Kroger is one of my favorite 'fast-food' chinese takeout.

Got to second the recommendation for Oriental House. The food is great, the prices reasonable and the people very friendly. They do a great deal of carry out too. We drive from Crestwood all the way into St Matthews to eat there. :!:

I have always liked the Dynasty Buffet on Lime Kiln Ln, they give you a to go tin and charge by the pound.

I wish Oriental House would do something about their sign. It's an eyesore!

I used to get takeout from the place on Goss all the time - Double Dragon. I still would, but it's not on my way home anymore.

I liked it too; much better than what we have over here in Jeff and Clarksville. :(

I second DD. Great food, great prices. Also, a Chinese takeout place opened by Kroger on Bardstown Road by Bashford Manor. Not AS good as DD, but still pretty darn good, and priced comparably.

Here's a second on the Oriental House. The place has been there 40+ years
counting the 2 they were closed because of a fire.

I worked as dishwasher there when I got out HS there by launching my History in the restaurant business in the kitchen anyway. :lol:

One of Louisville's Best Kept Secrets is the fact that Asiatique serves very resonable eats in the downstairs lounge. Stop in, Have a cocktail and get some stuff to-go off of the late night menu!!!

I second that emotion. Though I don't agree that it's the dirty Kroger name. I always call the one at 2nd/3rd and Breckenridge that. The parking lot at the Bbro Rd Kroger is a travesty, though.
