K T Chinese Restaurants in Sutton-in-Ashfield is a straightforward spot best known for reliable and familiar Chinese takeaway and casual dining. Located just off Outram Street, it’s been serving the local community for decades, attracting longtime regulars who appreciate the no-frills approach to good, honest Chinese food.

The interior leans toward the utilitarian side — the kind of place where comfort and tradition take priority over modern decor. The dining room feels dated, with well-worn tables and simple seating that reflect its long history rather than a contemporary makeover. This makes it less suited for special occasions or leisurely sit-down dinners, but perfect for quick, relaxed meals without fuss. Most visitors come for takeout or a casual eat-in experience without any expectation of style or atmosphere.

The kitchen looks to avoid the usual Anglo-Chinese takeout clichés, with dishes that satisfy people craving that classic, straightforward Chinese takeaway taste reminiscent of earlier decades. The food here is consistently fresh and flavourful, often praised for sticking true to a more traditional approach rather than the ‘Americanized’ or heavily adapted versions you find elsewhere. The chefs also seem happy to adapt dishes when requested, which is helpful if you have particular preferences or dietary needs.

Service is informal but friendly, with staff who tend to remember regular customers and offer a warm, welcoming vibe despite the modest surroundings. Prices are reasonable, making it a dependable choice for takeaway meals or casual dinners after a long day, especially if you’ve lived locally for a while and know what to expect.

Best times to visit tend to be early evening, when the takeaway rush is steady but manageable, or weekends when families might drop by for a quick meal. It’s not the place to linger over multiple courses, but those looking for comforting, no-nonsense Chinese food that’s consistent rather than flashy will appreciate what K T delivers.

OK, Chinese takeaway/restaurants are everywhere, I've had a meal from more or less all of them and I genuinely have to say that after the second takeaway I've had from KT it has to be said. ..phenomenal food, if you tasted Chinese takeaway 20 years ago and found it to be the best food you'd ever had then that's what your getting here, absolutely gorgeous food, fresh, great tasting takeaway in the area .....full marks, top notch gastronomic delight. ..thank you KT

Excellent food would recommend. You can dine in but the decor is clean but dated ( No need to dress for dinner) Owner is friendly and helpful, ready to customise dishes to your taste

I've been coming here since I can remember as my parents did as well. KT is definitely the best Chinese takeaway. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly and remember who you are. The only downside to this restaurant is that I'd never dine in... It has needed a refurb for many years, the tables look like they were pulled from a skip behind an old bingo hall and the decor is in need of a lick of paint. That being said... I always go to KT for my Chinese takeaway, I've tried others and they are OK, but just OK. KT always hits the spot and my family and I will continue to go there until it's no longer there. Yummy

Always do love a drunken kt's. Always lovely and happy to make any little changes, great chefs know how to cook, not just the regular English interpretation of Chinese food, but all manner of wonderful things.

Excellent Restaurant. Very nice and friendly staff/owner. Lovely fresh food. Plenty of tables to Dine in. We enjoy Dinner A (For Two) so much we always end up ordering the same Combination Set Meal and every time it taste just as delicious and satisfying. (Orders over £22 on collection gets you FREE PRAWN CRACKERS). "English Dishes" available. Out of all the Chinese Take out we've tried K.T. is by far the BEST! We highly recommend K.T. Chinese Restaurant. Ps on their menu they have a "FOOD ALERGY ADVICE" section. Happy customers here:) 5*****
