Silver Bird Chinese Takeaway in Plymouth

Haven’t eaten in at any point but my two takeaway experiences have been absolutely phenomenal. Great food, big portions, people who delivered were lovely and presumably employed by the actual restaurant because both times through some sheer miracle of modern science it’s been delivered warm! Would highly recommend salt and pepper chicken, salt and pepper chips and curry sauce for a spice bag effect. 10/10

First time we’ve had food from here & it won’t be the last! Delivered bang on time, food was fresh, hot and delicious! See you again soon.

Curry 10/10 rice 7/10 Hong Kong pork I am a trained chef 45 years used the same flour for frying as the fish it happens but ruined the dish its just a kitchen mistake .definitely would order again . Old chef Brian Thank you

Luckily I was able to finish work early, to receive the delivery 😊

Lovely food, a little dearer than some but worth it when all the food is enjoyed and eaten would definitely recommend this takeaway, tried many different places but this is definitely up there with the better, big bonus no rubbery chicken in curry as found with many places, delivered on time polite service, have absolutely no complaints

Great service and lovely food as usual 😊

really lovely,polite driver,food always hot and fresh.

As ever food very tasty and piping hot

The food is good but the service is terrible. I have been using them regularly for a few weeks now and delivery is always much longer than they tell you. Or they refuse to take your order unless you pick up yourself. Then yesterday our order was late so rang up and was told it was on its way. It never arrived!!

food was exceptional. tasty, hot. the delivery driver was very polite and pleasant and a credit to the takeaway. even the next day the food was wonderful.

Great food as usual. Thank you 😊

Really tasty food, piping hot, and speedy delivery.

Lovely food, lemon sauce particularly light and tastey. Just one suggestion, we want to spend our money when we come in, smile! Much better than standard takeaway fare, recommended.

Excellent service and fab food. Yum yum

Beef was overcooked and really hard. Everything else was great

The food was delicious and hot. Definitely will order food from the Silver Bird again. The delivery driver was very nice / helpful. All round very nice service and food.

Meal turned up at original time, not 1 hour later as told. Great food 🤩🤩

Chicken balls raw inside soggy and undercooked batter one side burnt the other salt and pepper chips so overdone there brown gone off onion sprinkled over with bits of burnt food I didnt order at the bottom of the chips wouldn't recommend unless you enjoy health and safety risks

Second time of ordering and food was good quality and hot when arrived. Small gripe, the lettuce in the prawn toast makes the bottom slice soggy.

Absolutely unreal! Dont normally write reviews normally but this deserves one! The chicken curry was so soft ! Normally other take aways can be chewy but this was so soft like melt in the mouth! Noodles fantastic ! Just so pleased I ordered from here! 👏👏👏

Best chinese at this time in Plymouth, Really good chow mein. Will definitely be coming back.

We really enjoyed the food, especially the ribs.

Best chinese I've had in years .....won't go anywhere else now.

Great food as always, but 45 minutes late ,nowhere near good enough

Completely 🤬🤬 I tried them again! Full of vegetables! No meat ! Probably the worst in Plymouth! Save your money! Don’t order! X

I was parked nearby, and decided to give them a try. I like my food spicy, so asked for an extra spicy chow mein. My meal was tasty, but not in the least bit spicy.

Best Chinese meal we’ve had for a long time

the driver was nice and the food was nice

I was really looking forward to having a Chinese and it delivered literally ,quality tasty and extensive menu !! thank you

Amazing service from restaurant

Best Chinese for ages, thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back 😊

rang from a mobile number to cancel order vir Just Eat website saying it would be cheaper vir there own website, order turns up still the same price.

Ordered a takeaway from just eat. Delivery was quick & driver was very friendly & polite. My sons special fried rice was ashe put it bloody gorgeous, my pancake roll was the best I've ever had & believe me I've had a fair few in my lifetime & my kung po chicken was amazing. I can honestly say this is probably the best chinese takeaway I've ever had. I don't live nearby, if I did you'd be top of my takeaway list, my son lives in Plymouth & will definitely use you guys again. Thanks for an amazing meal. Tracey & son.

Tried them for the first time yesterday evening. Delivery was good. My wife had beef and green pepper in black bean sauce and I had Szechuan chicken, chilli garlic in black bean sauce. Will certainly eat from there again. Very Good.

I've been a walk-in customer here for more years than I can remember. The food is always 1st class. Great tasting, good-sized portions & great value for money.

Brilliant food best I've had in ages

Tried here I live in plympton and have bad experience with local chinese. Delicious thanks

Very nice Chinese, friendly staff. I done a collection as a little far for delivery.

Food is consistently great here, our favourite Chinese in Plymouth

Food arrived hot and on time. It was tasty and good size portions

Great food but slightly colder than we expected

I had a takeaway tonight and it was the best Thai I've had in ages. Plus because it was only for myself, they didn't over fill the containers, so not waste I love that. I had satay chicken was amazing and sweet chilli chicken, pineapple yum yum yum. Ordered off uber eats no problem with delivery at all. Spot on highly recommended

Read the reviews and thought we'd give it a try. Just collected and devoured the lot (including picky kids!) Our order was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of food!! Our new go to - well done Siverbird, we'll put you on speed dial! :-)

Great food have this regularly and it doesn't disappoint

Cold on arrival even updated to delays in delivery poor quality

Omg absolutely amazing tastiest Chinese in Plymouth 10/10 definitely have a prosperous 2023 we will be back

Food delivered early and friendly driver 🙂

Lovely food, fast delivery , very polite delivery driver , thank you

Phoned to specifically ask for extra spicy wet Chow Mein, picked it up to find out it’s dry with absolutely no spice and a taste of the wok, impressive. Pleasant staff otherwise.

I always love the food here, my favourite Chinese on Plymouth. Gee

They fudged the delivery time by saying it was delivered 10mins BEFORE it turned up!!

I had beef and mushroom in black bean sauce , with no black bean sauce , astonishing , chicken noodle soup with nothing but noodles ‼️ Not good

Over priced. Small portions. Late.

Good food long wait but worth it thanks

My Favourite chinese Takeaway. Food is great service is good and when your sat there waiting staff will chat to you very friendly

Hot, tasty chefs own malay dishes are amazing

Absolutely lovely food. Piping hot on arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Will use again! Thank you!

Incredibly slow delivery. 2 hours from ordering to delivery on a Thursday evening. I dread to think how bad it would be at the weekend. Food was look-warm so difficult to judge quality accurately.

Took a while to deliver but the food was lovely!! Will definitely order again 😊

Really good tasty Chinese food.

The food was really lovely and sweet .however, the sauce should have been in a separate plate instead on putting it on the food(rice) . It made the food not attractive to eat and very soggy. Overall, I am just going to give it a 3/10

Loved it, spotless inside and food very tasty

Beef tasted like been cooked with prawns in pan. Egg rice was just a lump and noodles were very stodgy. Not an enjoyable experience at all. Will not use this restaurant again ever. Please do not waste your time and money.

Food good and delivery driver lovely, thank you x

Food is delicious and well packaged.

Absolutely amazing staff always feel welcome walking in would recommend everyone to go to this Chinese

very tasteful and fresh food, best one so far for me and i have tried a few.

Food was shocking and barely wa even tho it came early and they had forgotten items never order here again

Best chinese takeaway in plymouth started going direct to them as it's about 15-20% cheaper then just-eat. Use to be my childhood takeaway aswell, after moving back to the area I couldn't wait to come back here. And they never disappoint. Would be a 5 star 🌟 but with our last order we found out they have stopped doing mine and my daughters favorite dish 😥😱😭(smoked shredded chicken) P.S please bring back the smoked shredded chicken lol About to make an order and I see smoked shredded chicken is back! THANK YOU!✌️✌️ 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely meal as always...thankyou.

Ordered directly through silver bird website and an hour later still no food, assuming delayed I called to double check and they had no order for us, this was 5mins before the restaurant closed, they asked to call me back whilst they looked into it, I didnt hold much hope until they called me back and said the order was found and would be out within 20mins and roughly 15mins later it turned up, the delivery driver was very apologetic and between the restaurant and delivery driver they gave us some complimentary items for the mix up which was appriciated and on further positive news the food was also really nice, so thanks silver bird for a wonderful meal if a bit late haha

Love ladybird but portion sizes have become very tight. Will not be ordering again.

They put prawns in every dish and I am allergic so the meal was ruined for me. Didn’t specify on menu that prawns would come in any of it (pork and chicken fried rice) (honey mustard beef). Free prawn crackers lol. Really disappointed but my partner ate it all and said it was nice. Please consider that if you do not say prawns are in it- do not put them in it.

Bit oily, chicken balls over cooked and seemed to be refried.

Just saw the reviews while on holiday and thought let's try it! Food was nice and really fresh. Not greasy or lacking flavour, I would definitely go back again!

Wasn't sure where to order our Chinese from but so pleased we chose 'Silver Bird'. The food was delicious and very tasty, would definitely order again next time we fancied a takeaway.

Lovely, hot, plenty of sauce. Really good Chinese

Never had any problems with delivery or collection food always hot and perfect

Food came cold and small portions for the price of the dishes very disappointed don’t let the photos fool you.

A really tasty meal. Very happy.

My housemates and I ordered food from here as a celebratory meal for handing in our uni work and we all enjoyed the meal a lot

My other half hadnt had food from here since he was a child and still enjoyed it. He said his singapore chicken, smoked shredded chicken and salt and pepper chicken balls were "banging" just wished the rice was spicier. I had duck fried rice and chicken balls and found it pretty good but personally prefer a little less BBQ sauce but that's personal choice but my chicken balls felt greasier then other places. Step daughter enjoyed her chicken chow mein and the prawn crackers were lovely.

Great food kind people all I have to say

Probably the best Chinese place I've been too and certainly is my favorite the only fault I would give it is when ordering it fro uber eats the delivery charge is a little expensive however doesn't stop me from ordering this delicious food.

The food was cold and the curry sauce came out in one lump

Good prices, beautiful food and the best service of my life! Will definitely eat here again. Thank you for having me!

Food was on time which was about the only good thing with this takeaway. We had quiet a big order around £50 worth, all of which was cold when we got it. Which I wasn’t happy about.

Really tasty food really well prepared and gave us a complementary drink due to the delay in delivery which was very kind and much appreciated.

Bland food and order took over two hours to be delivered.

Really tasty food, steaming hot! Will order again 👍

Lovely and hot on arrival, polite and helpful when phoned up. Everything had so much flavour we honestly couldn't find fault. Will most definitely be ordering again :)

I found this golden little gem whilst in lock down and they have never failed to serve good Quality, hot food. I was told there would be a 90 minute wait even though I live around the corner from them (there so busy fence the wait) but the owner personally came out to deliver our food and it arrived in half an hour. Definitely a happy customer 😊

We were willing to give the new owners a chance as we have been getting takeaway from here for decades. Today, after being disappointed yet again, we will be finding somewhere else. We were told our meal would be with us in 90 minutes, after two hours we rang and were told they'd not even started it. The woman on the phone couldn't give a damn. Such a shame as this takeaway was one of the best in Plymouth when John ran it.

Best Chinese in Plymouth. Fast service, Fantastic value and probably the best battered chicken balls in Devon.

First time ordering and it was amazing! Best Chinese I've had in a long time, chicken was so soft in the curry. Will definitely be ordering again, my new favourite place.

We estimated over 30 years I've spent £53,700. Follow the money! :)

Amazing food great texture and taste and is also really flavourful and delicious overall, the staff are really helpful and suggest the best dish they think you would like depending if you want sweet or salty and just amazing place overall ! No complaints just is an amazing local restaurant:)

The food was really tasty, fresh and good value in my opinion. I've eaten at quite a few Chinese restaurants in the local area and this is one of the best. The staff are friendly also. Delivery time was as stated, even slightly early which was a plus as these restaurants have a habit of being late. Overall though I was very happy and would recommend and definitely going to order again.

Normally lovely and good reviews given. The chicken was inedible, no texture and really fatty I had to spit it out and it put me off everything.
