Chinese Overseas is a long running Chinese restaurant and takeaway on Stratford High Street. The menu combines familiar Cantonese favourites with a substantial section of regional Chinese cooking, giving diners a choice between classic takeaway comfort and more distinctive seafood, pork and vegetable dishes. Daily opening and delivery make the selection available for both quick meals and larger shared orders.
Appetisers include sesame prawn toast, spring rolls, satay chicken skewers, steamed prawn dumplings and crisp wontons. Chicken wings can be ordered with honey or a chilli and garlic sauce, while aromatic duck comes with pancakes, cucumber, spring onion and hoisin sauce. Hot and sour soup, wonton noodle soup, crab and sweetcorn soup and seafood with tofu provide several warming ways to begin.
Regional dishes include fish fragrant aubergine, belly pork with preserved vegetables, pork slivers with Chinese chives and chicken coated in a pile of chilli. Whole sea bass is steamed with ginger and spring onion, while lobster, crab, scallops and king prawns can be cooked with garlic, chilli or aromatic spring onion. Tofu, water spinach, Chinese cabbage and seasonal greens give vegetable diners a broad selection.
Chicken, beef, pork, roast duck and seafood are also available in black bean, sweet and sour, curry and other familiar sauces. Chow mein, Singapore noodles and fried rice work as complete dishes or companions to several shared mains. Set meals and late service support group ordering, while soft drinks and straightforward sides make the restaurant equally practical for a quick collection from Stratford High Street.
