Before allergy issues when I could eat it:
Fried rice
Chow Mein
Cashew chicken
Lemon chicken
Spring rolls
Beef and broccoli
We always ordered several items, ate and then had cold left overs next day.

Chinese food restaurants aren’t very popular in our town. Panda Express is as good as it gets. We order chicken and green beans, orange chicken and fried rice.
I can’t imagine eating any of it cold the next day though.

We very rarely have Chinese. We're more likely to have Vietnamese or modern Asian Fusion. But if we do have Chinese, we have salt & pepper calamari, DSO will have honey chicken, DS will have beef with black bean sauce, and maybe a Kung Po Chicken or Szechuan Chicken. And of course a special fried rice.

Kung pao chicken, sweet and sour chicken, wings, egg rolls and spring rolls, potstickers, crab Rangoon, sometimes shrimp in lobster sauce or hunan chicken. We love Chinese, esp takeout.

These days it’s almost always shrimp lo mein or pepper steak. But I also enjoy sesame chicken, General Tso’s chicken, garlic shrimp. Oh and dumplings and crab Rangoon.
Unfortunately, the sauces and spices do not agree with my bladder so it’s generally a rare treat.

We do Thai more often and my current favorite is green curry.
If it’s Chinese, then probably garlic shrimp and heavy on the vegetables.

I’ve actually never had Chinese take out but tv shows lead me To believe it happens frequently. We don’t really do take out for anything- pizza occasionally. If we are going to pay for the food I want the whole experience of dining out- not bringing it home cold or paying even more for delivery.

We rarely have takeaway, maybe three or four times a year, if that. But, when I ask what is wanted it's always an Indian.

We don't do Chinese takeout as we already eat in Chinese restaurants regularly. This week we had Chinese for lunch (dim sum)with live lobster steamed with lots of garlic and vermicelli noodles, live rock cod steamed, chicken feet (my favorite), couple of different buns, mushroom noodle roll, crispy pork belly. This was the most expensive lunch I've had and good thing we were treated! Family style dinner the other night with Shanghai ribs, mushrooms with greens, halibut, fried rice, house soup, honey walnut prawns and I forget what else.
I do Thai or Vietnamese for take out when DH isn't home as he doesn't care much for it.

Rare. As others have said, we're more likely to order Vietnamese, Thai, or sushi these days. Or DD loves the Korean places in Asiatown.
For Chinese I look for something on the menu that isn't deep-fried, and that preferably is spicy.

Depends which place we order from. One place, we always get their Xiao Long Bao (dumpling with soup inside). The other place, we always get their Won Ton soup. And then we usually order either fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, or some kind of steamed vegetables. It is about 50/50 if we eat in the restaurant or take out.
I love dumplings/dim sum. We do also order Vietnamese food to go. We rarely eat Thai food.
ETA - We would order Korean food, but the only Korean eateries around us are the all you can eat BBQ type places.

Assume we are talking about American-Chinese. We get several different things depending on what we feel like- Orange Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Almond Boneless Chicken,Beef with Broccoli, Mongolian Beef, Egg Foo Young and so on. Always with fried rice
We get Thai a lot more frequently than Chinese though

Never have had Chinese take out. Actually I can remember only once having eaten any Chinese food. Hard to believe, huh? Just not my thing I guess.

We eat Chinese takeout but only rarely eat at a sit down Chinese restaurant. We tend to eat Thai and sometimes Vietnamese way more often.usually I will have cashew chicken or sesame chicken.

There's not great Chinese in our neighborhood, but there's very decent ramen that I'll get delivered sometimes.
Before the good Chinese place closed, I used to get cold sesame noodles, fried veggie dumplings and a spring roll as my go-to. I also like veggie lo mein or veggie fried rice, or sweet & sour tofu. Now it tastes like all the places order their dumplings from the same supplier, and they're doughy and awful.
I love Vietnamese and Thai food, but I have to get it from a specifically vegetarian place to avoid the fish sauce.

Most of the Chinese restaurants around here also serve Thai, so I flip flop between Pad Thai or Garlic Chicken. We always get a couple of orders of Egg Roll as well.

We have family in TN who just don't have any decent Chinese food, whereas, I can name at least 5 Chinese restaurants within 3 miles of my house.

American-Chinese is about the only asian type food available in our little corner of the world without a drive.
We always get General Tso's chicken (extra spicy), beef LoMein, shrimp fried rice, and pepper steak.
Egg rolls are hit or miss, and I love crab rangoons, but I hate getting an entire order just foe me (my Dad and DD always helped me eat them).
