A Chinese fast food restaurant is an establishment specializing in Chinese cuisine, where customers order meals at a counter, pick them up, and can take them to a table on the premises.
The Chinese cuisine specialization accompanies counter ordering and pickup. Tables are available for customers to eat their meals.
Chinese take-out supplies food for consumption elsewhere, while a Chinese restaurant provides full service. The shared cuisine does not erase those distinctions.
