Though perhaps before giving a fellow stick for posting using a word that's clearly out of context - perhaps give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he did do some cross correlation before asking the question, eh? Especially if the purpose of the post is to ask a question about the very word used.
I just assumed "túsluascadh" was intended as a bit of a joke.

I don't think you can just say "takeaway" in Irish (or in most languages other than English) to refer to the food itself. You'd need a word like
béile or
bia with it, as Errigal suggested.
Perhaps leaving the "takeaway" part understood and just saying
D'ith mé bia Síneach aréir "I had Chinese food last night" would be more usual? If the "takeaway" part was important to the context, you might also say,
Thóg mé bia Síneach (abhaile) liom aréir.If it were a shop sign, on the other hand, perhaps
Bia chun siúil or
Béilí chun siúil would work?
