Kevins Fish & Chips

Being from the San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve grown up with Chinese food, both traditional and Americanized. Used to seeing «General Tso’s» chicken on menus back home, I was still shocked when I saw most of the Chinese takeouts here have signs that say «[So and So’s] Fish and Chips: English and Chinese Takeaway.» You want a side with your chow mein? Get some chips and mushy peas!
Not wanting pie and fried rice together, I ventured into Liverpool’s China Town during my quest for takeout, but was always disappointed by both the cost and the taste. Then I found Kevin’s near my gym. I’ve never actually been inside, but my ex used to bring home food every couple weeks as a treat.

It’s just the standard food you’d expect from an English Chinese establishment, but it’s so incredibly tasty. Everything I’ve eaten has not been overly oily, either– always a plus when you’ve just eaten enough food to make up three meals. The prices are reasonable, but honestly, after you’ve stuffed your face with their noodles and crispy beef you will want to give them more money just as a «Thank you.»
I now live in an area not very close to Kevin’s, so I was forced to try a few places around here when I had Chinese cravings. Not impressed. So even though I’ll have to change buses once or twice to get there, I’m never getting Chinese take out anywhere but Kevin’s when I’m in Liverpool.
