WE may be under local lockdown but Boltonians can still tuck into their favourite takeaway dishes this weekend.

Bolton is home to some top-rated Chinese restaurants- and some of them have sterling reviews.

The China Room and Sanshan are just two takeaways on the list- but where do they rank?

Here are five top-rated Chinese restaurants on Tripadvisor, which are available for takeaway and delivery. 

The China Room, Westhoughton- ‘We wouldn’t go anywhere else’

This is the top-rated Chinese restaurant on Tripadvisor and it has a 4.5 rating.

The restaurant has only received one ‘terrible’ rating on the site and 17 ‘excellent’.

One person praised the “excellent restaurant” and “wonderful staff”.

A happy customer wrote: “We [always] get our takeaways from here- we wouldn’t go anywhere else for Chinese”.

If you’re in the mood for steak, then this is the place to be as they have a whole section dedicated to fillet steak dishes which are all cooked with an oriental twist.

Best of all, they currently have an offer on where diners get 20% off the dine in menu when they collect their takeaway at the restaurant.

You can find their take away menu online.
