Kyle Chinese Take Away - Highland

We 've had several carry out meals over the years and they 'been excellent very disappointing this time. Chicken stir fry meal came with chicken mixture sitting on top of the rice. The chow mein sauce was gloopy .

We were dining in a nearby apartment when we decided to place an order at this restaurant. It was a challenging experience as we were only ordering for 4 people, but the person on the phone had difficulty understanding English. We had to repeat the order about 6 times. When we arrived to pick up our order, it was incorrect and we had to wait for them to make the right one. The food was decent and did the job. There are limited options for takeout in the area, so this place tends to be busy.

The crab and sweet corn soup was decent, but a bit lacking in flavor. The kungpao beef was also okay. The prawn crackers were tasty. However, the chicken satay was extremely salty and we couldn't eat it. The chicken skewers were drenched in a overly salty gravy. Typically, chicken satay is served with a side of peanut sauce for dipping, but this one did not come with any peanut sauce at all.

While waiting for our food to be prepared, I rearranged the chairs in our 2005 Fiat Multipla. By 8 pm, we had paid £31 and were ready to find a spot to enjoy our meal. We parked at the 'Plock' at the top of Heathmount Place and unpacked our food, along with some wine. We used our own utensils as they only provided plastic knives and forks, no chopsticks. Despite being the only Chinese restaurant in town, the dishes exceeded our expectations. The seafood and vegetables in black bean sauce were delicious, with squid, king prawns, and mussels. The soup was flavorful, and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy. One of my friends was disappointed with his Thai Red Curry, as it didn't taste authentic. The King Pho king prawn dish had good spice but wasn't as hot as what we're used to in London. The fried rice, though an extra 50p, was worth it as the plain rice was a bit sticky. We had leftovers for breakfast, including rice and soup, and hadn't even touched our prawn crackers. Overall, this hidden gem of a local Chinese restaurant is worth a visit if all other options fail, especially if you haven't made reservations in advance.

Had a takeaway while on holiday, staff were really friendly, service was quick and the food was superb. All 3 of us had different dishes and loved them. The quality of the meat was outstanding. Only diced breast meat in my chicken with green pepper in sweet chilli sauce. Can’t recommend it enough. Prices included rice or chips
