Chinese Takeout is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony, given by Tony Prince.
Description[]
After the game's introductory mission, Luis receives a text message from Tony to meet him at the Maisonette 9 club. Luis arrives at the club and heads inside, waiting for Tony to conclude a phone conversation. Hereafter, Tony rushes Luis back outside. It appears he needs to be driven to a location in Chinatown, to do business negotiations for Rocco.
Luis and Tony drive to Chinatown in Tony's Schafter. On the way, Tony gives Luis an Assault SMG, which Luis calls some "sci-fi shit". When they arrive, Billy Grey is seen talking to the Chinese Triad, asking him to "take care" of his brother.
After Billy leaves, the Triad explains that they are having trouble arranging a liquor licence and that Rocco had told him Luis and Tony would be able to arrange one. Luis explains that they will not be in a position to help, as they have trouble keeping their own licences. Angered by Luis' "insolence", the Triad points a gun at the duo and demands that they help him, but Luis kicks the gun out of his hand and punches him in the face, knocking him unconscious.
During the commotion, a shot was discharged from the gun, alerting the other Triads. Luis and Tony fight their way out of the building, killing every Triad in their way, before driving back to Tony's apartment.

Trivia[]
The Triad, knocked out and blinking no matter how much you shoot him.
- Shooting the Chinese mobster after Luis knocks him out, no matter how much or where, will never kill him. This is to ensure his appearance in The Lost and Damned mission could prove itself canon.
- When Billy Grey is speaking with the mobster, he is almost certainly arranging the Triad ambush on Johnny, which takes place in that very room. He says that he hopes "his brother" will be taken care of. The mobster remarks that "the definition of family loyalty must be different in this country". Billy says a "disloyal Jew bastard" (Johnny is Jewish and defiant of Billy) "ain't worth shit to me". This dialogue ultimately confirms that Billy actually set Johnny up, thus answering an unanswered TLAD story problem. Chronologically however, this is inconsistent with the GTA IV canon, as this mission takes place after the GTA IV mission Three Leaf Clover (which was featured in TBoGT's opening) but supposedly before the TLAD mission This Shit's Cursed, during which at the time Niko would have still been working with Elizabeta Torres and have just started doing missions for Packie McReary.
- Roman Bellic, Brucie Kibbutz and Billy Grey all make cameo appearances in this mission.
- Luis' reference to the Assault SMG (FN P90) being "some sci-fi shit" is most likely a reference to the sci-fi series Stargate SG-1, which features the P90 heavily as their main weapon of choice.
- If the player is carrying a Gold SMG after completing the main storyline and uses the replay function for this mission, they will not receive an Assault SMG, and the whole dialogue during the ride to Chinatown will be skipped.
- The Triad's appearance is different from TLAD. His face looks more detailed and his voice has changed.
- Tony Prince describes the Ancelotti mob as being one of the strongest in Liberty City. However, in Grand Theft Auto IV, Gerald McReary describes the Ancelotti mob as being one of the weakest.
