Gao Express

Gao Express is a Chinese takeaway in Stevenage serving both Chinese and Thai dishes from 1B Market Place. It’s set up for people who want food to collect or have delivered, with bookings also taken, and it serves lunch and dinner. The menu includes vegetarian options, and customer comments point to familiar takeaway staples such as chow mein, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and tofu dishes. Some dishes are singled out for good flavour and generous portions, while others are described more plainly, so it sounds like a place best judged by the dishes you choose rather than a flashy menu. Free parking is available, which can make collection a little easier. For a quick midweek meal or an evening order, Gao Express fits the bill as a local takeaway rather than a sit-down spot. If you’re heading over in person, the Market Place address is easy to find, and delivery gives you another option if you’d rather stay in.
