Here are the three most common types of Chinese cuisine that you'll find on a menu at Chinese restaurants in Nottingham. Shandong cuisine, which includes sweet and sour sauce and Bird's Nest soup is typified by seasonings such as shallots and garlic.

Chinese restaurants in Nottingham - First visit food
If you're heading to Chinese restaurants in Nottingham for the first time then you'll want to order a meal that offers you plenty of different flavours, so you can get a good idea of the tastes Chinese cuisine has to offer. At the same time, you may not want to go for anything too hot and spicy.
We recommend you start with the classic Cantonese sweet and sour chicken/pork with egg-fried rice, or if you prefer noodles then you could opt for chicken/beef/seafood chow mein. For a starter why not try vegetable spring rolls, while no visit to a Chinese restaurant would be complete without a helping of aromatic crispy duck wrapped in a pancake with cucumber, spring onion and hoisin sauce.
