Silver Vase in Leeds

Beyond any doubt the best Chinese in Leeds! Thanks for keeping me fed!

Food always hot and tasty just a shame no delivery

Best Chinese in Leeds. Great service and reasonably priced!

This is the 1st time we've used Silver vase as our normal Chinese was closed. The food was very hot and the pick up time was quick. The actually food was sour. The veg spring rolls, tofu kung po. The nice bit of the meal was the crackers. Very disappointed

I haven't had food from Silver Vase before. I ordered 'Special Fried Rice', which was excellent. The ingredients were cooked to near perfection, and there was just the right amount of everything. Great example of a chinese takeaway. Great service too.

Very dissatisfied with this takeaway. Staff lovely, quick service time and food was hot. Unfortunately the taste was not there. Very bland. Ordered beef Szechuan and pork satay. Satay didn’t even taste or look like a satay… very strange texture. All just tasted like vinegar. Chips were stale. Very disappointed.

Love this place. Good food and friendly staff.

Great and helpful peolpe behind the counter and awesome food!

Special Fried Rice always taste great👌 😋

Ordered food missed half of it and suggested that I can come back for it ‘ on the house ‘ when I’d already paid for it . Regular customer completely changed my opinion . Awful customer service and very rude .

I have been getting food from here for the best part of 15 years and I have never had a bad meal, not even once! Best Chinese takeaway in Leeds by a country mile and the price is always very reasonable. Get the Special Chow Mein with extra Crispy Noodles and the Special Fried Rice. I promise you will not regret it!!!!

Amazing takeaway! Best Chinese in the area by far! I eat from here regularly and we have never had a bad meal! No negatives whatsoever. Thank you!

Always friendly and by far the best Chinese around!

Lovely service n great, tasty food. V well done !!

Friendly fast service with the best food

The best Chinese takeaway in Leeds.

We have had the pleasure of this takeaway for many years,it is of a high quality,and consistency,the staff are really nice,hong is especially funny and a pleasure to interact with,all work very hard, it is v popular for good reason,i really dont like going anywhere else,it matches restaurant grades and even better,i have recommended silver vase to friends n family ,keep up your great standards.

Food was great. Just wish they had a halal option

Very friendly staff and Good Chinese food. Enjoy it every time.

Shocking experience. We ordered all vegetarian food including wantons. We are all vegetarian in our family. We came back to eat the food and my husband bit into a wanton that was chicken. There was no debate about it, it stank of meat and looked different to the other veggie ones. When he called the takeaway his experience was atrocious. He was told 'mistakes happen' and was offered no form of apology or compensation. I then emailed them and they have not even bothered to reply. This is a very serious 'mistake'. Luckily my husband was less distressed than if it would have been me that ate it. I'm still trying to figure out ways to ensure people are aware of their shoddy 'mistakes' and customer service. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

another beautiful takeaway from silver vase. the food is delicious and a good portion too. definitely a place to go when you are hungry as the portions are lovely and generous. the staff are helpful and friendly. thank you.

This is our local Chinese takeaway. Great food, even better staff, always chatty and friendly.

the food at silver vase is always absolutely delicious. they are very friendly and helpful. i wouldn't go anywhere else. definitely our families favourite.

It’s decent Chinese food but it could be better. We’d heard lots of hype about the place but I’m not sure it lives up to that. It’s local to us so I’m sure we’ll continue visiting. Don’t make our mistake too and get the crispy noodles - they are basically just dry uncooked noodles. Never seen them come in such form before!

Best Chinese takeaway in my area food delicious and plenty of it. Would highly recommend.

beautiful food, enjoyed every morsel. friendly atmosphere, nice welcome. see you again....and again!!!

Friendly staff. Beautiful food. Good atmosphere. Can't ask for more.

I’ve up rated this Chinese take-away to 5 star because the food is piff. Thanks

We had takeaway from here around 5 times. Best Chinese takeaway in north Leeds area. Very quick serve and it’s open till late. We will come back again for sure.

High quality food and great customer service always

What can I say other than…wow, wow, wow! We had forgotten about this place, and have since Lockdown we’ve gone to so many different places seeking a good chines take out with no avail! Well that is until now. It happens to be the tastiest meal we’ve had ever from a Chinese. Honestly blew us away and couldn’t fault any of it. We ordered ribs, chicken satay, fried rice and chips. And now we can’t wait to order many more things from your menu 😍 It’s not often i, phone a takeaway after eating a meal or leave a review (my bad) however I couldn’t not with this because you’ve really brought our experience back to life. Thanks again guys 😎

Food was very nice although portions were smaller than what I'm used to. Food took 40 mins which was abit too long to wait BUT it was a very busy Saturday evening.

Great food is served here. Consistent with quality. I would highly recommend them.

We ordered food for 20 people for my grandson’s birthday. We have eaten from here before and always enjoyed the food Some of the people at the party hadn’t eaten from here but everyone comment on the food as the best they have had and for the price we paid they was plenty and more . I would like to thanks all the staff but especially the owner for once again making my grandson’s birthday meal a fantastic one

The perfect place to get Chinese takeaway: generous portions and amazing flavours. Service is good; however, sometimes walk-in waiting time are long.

Very tasty food and great customer service!

Food was flawless, first time I tried Silver Vase after it being recommended several times to me by friends and it did not disappoint. My new stop for Chinese

Really good Chinese with friendly staff, great quality food and reasonable prices.

Must go to place in Chapel A. Great food

First time at Silver Vase tonight and ordered Menu A for 2. Amazing. Dishes I wouldn't normally order but brilliant to go out of your comfort zone. Enjoyed it all. Will definitely be back.

16 years and never a bad meal. Staff always been friendly and nothing is to much trouble. The owners sister owns the G-Wu restaurant up the road and that is just as Excellent

Truly one of the best Chinese/Cantonese take away i have eaten in donkey years. Absolutely astonished at the quality of the food and taste. The standard is beyond belief look no further. Bottom line.

Probably the best Chinese takeaway in chapel allerton. Friendly and helpful staff, great food, and always good service. Everything cooked to order so it's always piping hot, and everything always fresh and tasty. Most recently we've been getting the quarter duck, salt and pepper chicken, and crispy battered chicken in sweet and sour. Always hits the spot!

Brilliant Chinese, service always fast and food always hot.

This place is always a safe bet for good Chinese Take-Away food. The portion sizes are good, the flavours are good and the service is good.

Great food! Fabulous tofu, aubergine and prawn stuffing and the noodles and beansprouts so tasty....not been 4 years but will be returning soon. Portions huge too.

We hardly ever order Chinese takeouts but we just arrived in Chapel Allerton and we were too tired to go to a restaurant! We took the chance and went to Silver Vase and we were pleasantly surprised how tasty food was! Everything was cooked for our order fresh and the owner was super pleasant to talk to. We will definitely go back for more take away!!

The best salt and pepper chips, I eat them every single Sunday.

Quality and great price (crispy shredded beef is perfect)

Best Chinese in Leeds by far travel for 20 mins to collect

3 years ago I gave this place a 5 star review. More recently have had a few issues, food not being made as described, items on order being taken down wrong. No biggie, these things happen. However a week or so ago we rang up to order and asked if the vegetable curry from the vegetarian section could be made vegan. Guy on phone said it can but not tonight as they're too busy. I asked what he meant and he said its made with chicken stock normally and they're too busy to make it different tonight. What?? So it's not even vegetarian?? Basically the guy just refused to make us food that was listed on the menu (vegetable curry from the vegetarian section of the menu) because they were 'too busy'. It's really put us off going here and we would normally go about twice a month before. They usually always make things vegan for us on request but lately they've been telling us the stuff we've been ordering can't be made vegan so we're not sure why they told us it was in the first place.

Always a winner...my local hasn't failed me yet Alwalys welcoming and friendly ..

Best Chinese in leeds. We travel 15 mins to collect… haven’t found anywhere comparable.

Excellent food price and service

Came here after trying to find a decent Chinese. Well this is our new favourite 😍😍😍

Great service. Had a good laugh with the owner. The food was fine but drops a star because some of my chips were red hot but others were completely cold. And I mean totally cold. I have no idea how this could happen.

There's a reason why this business is so busy - the food is incredible and the portion sizes are huge. Every dish is unique and bursting with flavour and love. You may have to wait for your order - this takeaway is always ran off its feet. The owner has always treated me fairly and if I have had to wait, then I've popped to the local for a quick drink, to any of the local shops or lovely walks in Chapel Allerton. Is a wait for your food really that bad or hard to understand when people are literally queuing out of the door? When did we get so privileged? My main response is that its nice to see a local small business so busy - the owners deserve it. This is a small local business and they can be so busy that you can't get through on the phones. People should try to be understanding of this. The owner doesn't like to turn anyone away and they typically do an amazing job of their customer service, hiring 2+ new members of staff over lockdown to cater for this in their small premises which is bursting at the seams. If you can't deal with a wait then go to a chain - this is a booming local business and a little bit of understanding and patience goes a long way during busy periods. These people are always ran off their feet and its lovely to see, but also as a customer we have to be understanding when small business are in a major growth stage. Primarily, this is lovely to see, but inherently and inevitably you may experience delays in busy periods. If your time is so precious that you can't wait for your food, then your time must be really important. Which if you are anything other than a life saving professional, then really its not that important is it? Incredible food, lovely owners. Treat them with respect and understanding and you will become a valued customer and friend. You will receive nothing but respect back and a portion of the best value tastiest Chinese food in Leeds (and probably within Yorkshire). Keep up the good work guys and thank you for managing to keep up with orders as I know you are insanely busy at the moment!

This Chinese has alot of dishes and will customise if it doable. They offer vegetarian options, and meat dishes usually come in pork, chicken, prawn, char sui and special. Most main dishes come with chips or rice, or for an additional fee fried rice or soft noodles. Here does the lovely thin soft noodles with the onion and beansprouts not the fat ones. They usually take about 20 minutes from ringing to collect. They don't deliver but its well worth the visit.

Without a doubt the best Chinese takeaway in all of Yorkshire. Try the salt and pepper ribs.

Always consistently good quality, far surpasses restaurants, staff great, hong is reary funny

The food here is Amazing, lovely, tasty dishes. I don't often have takeaway dishes but this is my found place . I've been overseas and wanted to return to try Chinese takeaway like it used to taste 20yrs ago . Beautiful. No quadruple slimy fried chicken as I have experienced locally. Nothing negative to say 😁

I ordered honey spare ribs and special fried rice. The ribs were inedible and went into the bin. The rice had three pieces of meat on top which were inedible The rice was very underwhelming Disappointing and unacceptable

I have tried many takeout places but this is the best as the food is very tasty with great portions, good quality and excellent service also the place looks very clean which gives me a lot of confidence to keep getting take out ... Well done Silver Vase!

I am posting as ignore the disgruntled recently posted. I hardly ever order takeaway as we always cook at home - cheaper and tastes better. However, on the rare occasion we do then we always order from this Chinese. It is a quite a drive from our house 25 min or so but really worth the drive. Sometimes we are kept waiting, most times it is ready within minutes of arrival as the lady over the phone always states and expected pick up time. To be honest, the world just lacks patience - if you have to wait then you wait as you are always guaranteed to have a hot, freshly prepared tasty meal with decent portion sizes. I think if you decide not to go then it is your loss as you are missing out on the best takeaway Chinese food in Leeds. Thank you Silver Vase.

First time I've used this takeaway, was reccomended by a friend. As a small business owner who has followed all Covid guidelines yet has been forced to close, I left quite upset at Silver Vases complete lack of precautions, when others who have done everything to keep safe are closed down. All staff working with no masks on, and the shop waiting area packed with people all allowed in without masks. Disgraceful for anyone waiting who may be vulnerable. Food was 20mins late, hence having to wait in the shop, and was nothing out the ordinary. Salt and pepper wings were cold and the batter soggy. Find another establishment that cares about its customers as Silver Vase dont.

Been using the place for many years and it is faultless. Hong and the team are lovely and the food is exceptional. One of the only places I know that serves the classic prawn meat stuffing with roast duck, just the original Chinese restaurant in Leeds on the 1970’s - which was the jumbo. I cannot name a poor dish where it is not better than any other local or national takeout we have tried since the 1970’s. Also the prawn meat and ham roll, another classic you just done see, is outstanding.

Decent food, but was kept waiting for over 30 minutes for a pick up order. Should give a more realistic pick up time

The staff are lovely. We are regulars for chips, egg fried rice, curry sauce & salt & pepper chicken wings. We have never been disappointed with the standard of food or service.

Beef in Black bean sauce was 👎🏾😫

First time customer today; excellent meal , everyone throughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be back. I highly recommend you give them a try !

Very good Chinese take away. I am always ordering from this guys. It's always delicious and they are always very welcoming.

Lovely food, great service, ready in 25 min for collection.. Never fails. Thank you Silver Vase...totally delicious ...

Best Chinese in Leeds by a country mile!

Just good quality and very tasty food. With friendly and welcoming service. Been going there for years and never disappoints.

Ordered the sweet and sour battered chicken balls on 29/05/20 along with some other food. The other food was nice, however, the chicken in the batter was disgusting. The texture and taste of it was very weird and didn’t taste or feel nice. Not sure how it’s cooked. The reason for this review is because it ruined the rest of the meal. Very disappointed.

Iv lived around the Chapel Allerton area for over 16 years now, and this is quite simply the best chinese take away around. Extremely friendly staff who are always happy to assist with any queries that you may have. Very efficient service as well. We have quite varied dietary requirements (meat eaters, non-seafood eaters, vegetarians & fussy children) in our household, so it’s not always easy to find a place that can cater for everyone. Silver Vase has a great range - that keeps all of the family happy. There are too many nice dishes to list but I will list our favourites, they are all superb: Starters: salt & pepper chips, chicken wing starters, salt & pepper mushrooms Mains: vegetable or meat blackbean sauce, vegi curry, any meat curry, crispy duck with pancakes. There’s so many more to list. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed!

Best Chinese take away I've had in a long time.

Good friendly service.very cĺean.quality well cooked food

we used to live close by, but having moved across the city, and having had kids, we have agin become regulars as we didnt find anything half as good near us now.

Best Chinese in Chaple Allerton

Been a customer for many years, even though it's changed owners the quality is still there. Good tasty food well cooked.

My local chinese. Excellent as always. Prawn toast is amazing !!

Cracking take away. Excellent service and a superb menu for vegetarians. Also very happy to discuss and adapt items to your dietary requirements

Great food! Can be busy but that's a price worth paying if you want a tasty takeaway.

Amazing food.. reccomend highly

Great food and friendly staff. Food takes a while though.

Very good and clean place.....5 Scores on the doors rating.... Good food, but no delivery....Food sometimes put in wrong containers. Mushroom curry should not be put into a cardboard container.... Delivery would vastly improve trade, possibly the reason so many takeaways delivery these days. Even Fish and Chip shops.....

My family and I have been ordering takeaways from Silver Vase for the best part of 20 years. It's a firm family favourite. The food is consistently good quality, tasty and value for money. The staff are pleasant too and certainly know their regulars - they know me by voice now which is worrying! So, why do a minority people not like Silver Vase: 1. They order the wrong dish and don't go back and try something else 2. They order on a weekend, which is extremely busy and complain about waiting times- because it's a popular place! 3. They prefer G Wu - fair enough perhaps but I prefer Silver Vase and think that it is better value for money. I'd admit though that sometimes I push out the boat and order from G Wu instead but more for a change than anything else. 4. The food doesn't taste as home made / organic as they'd like. Again, fair enough...so make your own healthy Chinese meal from scratch; something that I often do more than ordering take out! 5. Because some people cannot be pleased and frankly, people tend to air complaints about bad food experiences than good ones

Omg I've had food from here for months. I travel from ls15 for this. Vermachelli is to die for. My husband loves very hot food ie curry but wasnt hot enough. (Each to there own.) Pretty sure they will spice it up more next time... love this food could eat everyday. Staff lovely and friendly. Definatly recommend this place. 😘.

Best chinese takeaway in the area and I've tried them all.

Great family run Chinese takeaway. Top quality food

Great food, clean place & friendly staff 🍜

Best Chinese food, been consistent for years

Had a good take-away from here. Had a small order which was ready in 10-15 minutes. Staff are friendly. Food is decent. The price reflects the quality. Chips are nice and hot and the rice is fluffy.

Very disappointing bland tasteless food. I won’t be returning. Threw the food away !! In the heart of Chapel Allerton, why is it so difficult to find a decent Chinese take- away !! There are loads in Manchester, but Leeds, just produces crap take- always. Won’t be ordering another takeaway until I visit Manchester again, fed up !!

Super tasty, none greasy Chinese food! We'll defo be back! And such friendly service in the takeaway shop too!

I love the salt and pepper King prawns

The best Chinese around. By far. But no delivery

Very good food and friendly service..

Lovely fresh food, decent portions too!
