About Evergreen Chinese Take Away

Evergreen Chinese Take Away nails suburban comfort with generous portions, fast wok heat, and zero fuss. Run by a longtime husband-and-wife team on Handford Road, this counter serves unpretentious Chinese-Australian takeout built for easy weeknight dinners. Regulars drop by for sweet and sour pork, special fried rice, and crisp honey chicken—thoughtfully packed with the sauce on the side so the crunch survives the car ride home. Note that payment is cash or direct bank transfer only, best settled before cracking open the hot containers.

  • Crisp-Preserving Packaging: Battered meats are packed separately from sauces so the crunch stays intact during transit home.
  • Generous Weeknight Portions: Heaping containers of special fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and chow mein provide reliable value.
  • Cash or Bank Transfer Only: Orders are settled via cash or direct bank transfer rather than card terminals at the counter.

    A long-tenured older couple treats neighborhood diners with heartfelt warmth, personal hospitality, and thoughtful gestures.

  • Crisp Sauce-Separated Takeaway

    Sauce is packed separately from battered meats so takeaway dishes stay crunchy and crisp until served at home.

    they also separate crunchy stuff (like battered chicken) from the sauce so when you get it home it's still crunchy

  • Fresh Satisfying Crunch

    Suburban Chinese-Australian favorites like sweet and sour pork and honey chicken deliver freshly fried texture and rich sauce balance.

    So fresh and the crunch was so satisfying.

    Can't go past the popular standard items such as a large Special Fried Rice (by far the best fried rice around)

    Michael Burke

  • Honey Chicken

    We got the honey chicken and special fried rice and they threw in extra sweet and sour pork or duck, not even sure but an entire takeaway container just for free and it was DELICIOUS !

    I work long days so i get a Chicken chowmein 4 days a week on the way home.

  • Gifts from the Family Garden

    The owners share homegrown vegetables and produce from their own garden with regular pickup diners.

Before you head over

Practical ordering and payment tips for a seamless takeaway experience.

  • Bring Cash or Prepare for Bank Transfer

    Carry physical cash or prepare for a direct bank transfer, as the venue does not operate electronic EFTPOS terminals. If caught without cash, an ATM is available at the supermarket across the road.

  • Expect Sauces Packed Separately for Transit

    When ordering fried dishes like battered chicken or sweet and sour pork, sauces are intentionally packaged separately to keep items crisp until you assemble them at home.

  • Allow Extra Time During Dinner Rush

    The shop is run entirely by a sweet older couple cooking fresh to order; call ahead during busy evening dinner rush periods and budget extra pickup time rather than expecting instant turnaround.
