Southway Chinese Takeaway in Plymouth

Nice for a change but portion sizes medium price average, but not as nice as our usual takeaway in Derriford

Always perfect, ordered just before closing time (unbeknown to me) and they were quite happy to take my order and had it delivered very quickly. Food is always lovely, very pleased. Highly recommended. Thank you.

This is my go to Chinese. Ive never had a problem. The food always comes hot and taste perfect

Simply the best Chinese around , staff are great and the 34c is incredible

Food always tastes good but the prices have slowly been rising over the past few years which is understandable but still annoying.

First & last time I will order from there , it was disgusting & went in the bin

Very tasty with good prices. Quick delivery and courtesy phone call by driver prior to delivery. Highly recommended. Will return.

Fast service. One of the best Chinese in town

Really enjoy this every week !! Cracking Chinese with lovely chips !!

Poor food & greasy food Extremely disappointed absolutely tasteless all food was put in bin

I feel let down and extremely disappointed with the food I received from Southway Chinese take away. Everything we ordered was unedible and ended up in the bin. Money wasted.

After reading reviews thought I'd give it a go. How wrong was I, very greasy, special fried rice like I've never had before. Small amount of rice with meat & veg place on top🥴. Chow mein just as bad, it was all not very nice. Had dishes for 3 people £70 completely wasted. Will not be returning that's for sure.

Best Chinese you could ever buy. Delicious and plenty to eat. Excellent value for money. Topped off with Friendly & Helpful staff. They also do deliveries, there is a charge but well worth it.

Really not nice. Honey mustard chicken was just mustard and way to strong. The beef dish just tasted off and the bbq sauce was so thick it was like jelly. Not much rice in the special rice.

Received a disappointing meal last night , pancake rolls hot on the outside cold In the middle , cashew chicken tasted off , chicken balls the chicken had the most bizarre texture almost like it was made of plastic rather than meat , rice was dry and the sweet and sour sauce was a thick bland gloop that tasted of nothing ..this place used to be good but seems to be going downhill fast ...I won't be back

Excellent service and exceptional meals. I will certainly be using again

Ordered early,(1635),thinking food would be freshly cooked...My chicken chowmien was just chicken and noodles no veg at all. The chicken balls i had to finish cooking in the oven ....I very rarely get take away but used southway as it has always been nice and consistent...once it becomes a lottery,it just aint wort it...

I haven't used this take away for a long time as I hadn't been impressed in the past but I gave it another go and was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good as was the service and wait time.

I love the way they cook chips and chicken balls

I feel as with most in the complex over priced, poor quality and portions wanting. The only

We had a family meal for 3, which could have fed 6 and the food was of a good standard.

Being on the road alot we very rarely find decent food, but fairplay had some cracking grub delivered to our travellodge tonight. Great customer service,easy ordering process and provided me with everything I asked for. Thanks again 👌

Always lovely food and service 😋

It’s 8:00pm on a Tuesday night and I cannot order for delivery…..Such sad times as this used to be a really good takeaway…..gone down hill……

My food posts are important so sadly a negative post. The food was overpowered by I think the cooking oil. The veggies must be frozen, no flavours.through any dish. The batters were also complexly wrong for Chinese cooking.

Very nice people, always has delivered within 45 minutes and the food is very nice. The prices are average for Chinese Takeaways in our area.

Ordered for collection and was ready on time, excellent food

always my favourite place to go for a tasty Chinese

Great chips and fresh cooked food.

I was at the fish & chip shop yesterday, nice. I would give them 6 stars, because they were so busy.

Nothing fancy. Just chips and a huge vat of curry sauce. Delicious! Friendly staff too.

Simply delicious. Good staff, fair prices. No need to go anywhere else if you live locally.

Just Tried your honey mustard chicken .... Omg did you literally use a whole jar of English mustard ... Way way too much mustard . Maybe you should use a more milder mustard like Dijon or French . Was inedible .. horrible the chicken was not crispy it was soggy with all that mustard . Chucked it in the bin .

Not the best food but ok ish sad really😭 staff was friendly enough but didn't shine in the food 😭

Best Chinese takeaway . Good food , Good sized portions. Good friendly staff. Delivery always on time

Arrived at 9.55pm and store closed. Opening hours state closes at 10.00pm. Cant leave a food review because couldn't even order any food. Food could be five star, but I never got a chance to find out. Failure on the highest level and hope you enjoyed your 5 minutes extra in bed. 1 Star. 🤬

Friendly, fast and delicious! Nice sized helpings and huge variety.

We decided to get a takeaway from Southway Chinese as a last minute thing while visiting family. Order was taken over the phone and we went to pick it up, this was a smooth transaction. Food was very warm and lots of it. Chicken balls and pancake rolls seemed a little greasy though, this definitely affected our view of the meal overall. Good, but not the best.

Extremely tasty!! and hot. Was delivered alot earlier/quicker then expected. Honestly one of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time! We will most definitely be ordering from them again :)

Excellent experience, fantastic Fish & Chips and lovely staff.👍👍👍👍

Been visiting for years, always friendly, food always excellent. My Saturday night treat! Cheers, Alan.

Wonderful experience good people and food

Very friendly staff and great portions.

Always great food, value for money & excellent service.

Lovely friendly service and food. Shame half the shops are boarded up in this shopping centre as it brings down the standard of a very potentially great little takeaway.

Average quality but massive quantity

Great selection of dishes Food was good quality and service was excellent. Would go back again.

Singapore chow mein and chicken balls, excellent.My first of many more visits.

Brilliant, pleasant, very helpful 👍

Beautiful meal fast delivery will definitely order again thank you

First time for me it was hot and delicious and delivery man was friendly 😋 well done

Never had a bad takeaway from here, the staff are always great. Never had delivery as I always collect which is accurate times and now COVID safe. Decent pricing also.

Excellent as usual, prompt friendly service, delicious piping hot food. Highly recommended

Great Chinese. Fresh produce and great food

Have used this takeaway many times now and never been disappointed. Always hot & tastes great.Never give false delivery times. Yummy!

terribe service, was told it would be about an hour, 2 hours it took, then some of the food was missing, when I called, they offered to wait another 30 minutes or have a £2.00 refund. very rude on the phone

called early to place an order, was told about an hour. nearly 2 hours later it arrived, then some food was missing. When i called them, they couldn't really be bothered about it. Fook ok, but bad customer service

As good as any other,love the hot and sour chow mein

Excellent value for money, excellent food and delivers on time.

Sent incorrect food .when I called them they said I ordered incorrectly. Very poor customer service. I order from there every week but know they have lost loyal customer. I will be going to mayfong in future

I personally didn't enjoy the food from here.

We travel out most wends cause to far for delivery. Is worth it..

By far the best Chinese in Plymouth!!! Very good quality food and the staff there are all extremely friendly. I also love the fact that the owner is determined to only deliver to very local area around Southway because he wants to make sure the food is always hot and fresh when it gets there! Nothing beats their crispy sweet and sour chicken balls on a Friday night!

Wanted to try this takeaway as it had good reviews. Couldn’t get it delivered to my area which was a pain so when I was near I ordered myself a chicken chow mien, I don’t like it to saucy so I asked for it dry fried with no bean spouts. It tasted great and a good portion even though in the reviews it said small portions. I couldn’t eat it all in one go. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back here again.

Quick service, hot, very impressed.

Good food & good value for money

We were so disappointed that our long-time favourite local Chinese recently closed. Fortunately, after reading several good reviews, we gave Southway Chinese a go. And we are so glad we did! The food was hot, fresh and high quality, and this was a very busy Friday evening, with customers queuing out the door. The meat was very lean and tasty, and the chicken satay was deliciously spicy and peanutty. Our new favourite local Chinese!

Used quite a bit and have always enjoyed the food. Whether popping in or getting it delivered I’ve found the staff to very friendly. Good choice of food and good prices. I’ll be back and would recommend to others.

Too much MSG and cash only. Nothing much to recommend.

A lot local Chinese shops are closed on Tuesday's so we stumbled across this one and we weren't disappointed. Food was all hot, very tasty & delivered promptly. Would definitely use this chinese again.

Delicious Chinese. Fast becoming my favourite!

Fantastic tasting food always great service

The first vegetable curry turned up covered in prawns. Giving them another try a week later, the vegetable curry is now some vile mixed hash of sweet and sour sauce, pineapples and a bit of curry. Absolutely disgusting and will never return.

Don’t do it, this place was recommended to us. The lemon chicken was literally inedible and the rest of the food was bland. Go somewhere else.

Food was absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Chow main and the fried rice were amazing, not oily at all, seasoned beautifully. And the salt and pepper chicken...delicious! What a shame we can’t take you guys back to Leeds with us !!!

Literally the best Chinese we have ever had. Very Fresh and very tasty, never a bad meal

Good value, large menu choice, friendly Staff and quick service. Eaten there several times. Recommended.

Been going for years now, great food, huge portions and lovely staff too. Wouldn’t want to go to any other places.

Me acabo de mudar a Woolwell y probé algunos de los platos chinos. Este vale la pena el corto trayecto para nosotros.La comida está muy bien preparada, porciones generosas, preparadas rápidamente y, lo más importante, muy sabrosas. El único problema es que es tan bueno que no podemos dejar de volver.

Been using this chinese for about 16 years now regularly. A great Chinese really flavoursome and usually really quick with delivery.

Been going to this takeaway for over 10 years. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Friendly service too. Cash only though.

Really bad, can’t say how bad it was , FISh and chips so small and under cooked in old oil , all went in the bin , live to far to return , disgusting should be shut down , avoid at all cost

We buy food here on a weekly basis and have never been disappointed with the quality of the food which is excellent

Lots to choose from with great customer service

This is our regular takeaway for Chinese food. It is always good and the portions are decent. Cash only, so make sure you have enough money as the cashpoint machine is no longer in the precinct.

Cash only. Easy to order from, friendly service, makes me hungry just thinking about it. Maybe have a new Cher recipe had changed on a certain night it wasn't the best but all other times has been good

Always quick to deliver and the food taste great much better than that a mile away. Kids love the food and although the misses is really fussy she enjoys and eats the food.

Always have a great takeaway from here. Friendly staff. Always cooked on time to perfection. Can deliver but we always collect. Tried somewhere else but always come back

Only Chinese we use. Very helpful great prices

Been coming here for more than 5 years now since I moved into the area. Never disappointed and most importantly they get the classics like chicken balls always right.

Visiting my Dad for the weekend and we decided to have a Chinese, as it's the closest we went to Southway. Well impressed as we were a family of four we had a few dishes sweet sour chicken, mushroom foo yung, beef fried rice, chips curry etc really big portions and very tasty would definitely return, my Dad lives close and said it would be his favourite from now on.

Often order from here,more than we probably should Varied choice of items on the menu Food always keeps up to its standards Fast delivery. Cannot fault

Best takeaway Food on time, lovely fresh & hot and absolutely delicious. Staff polite. Great service, great food

Was moving house, and short on time, I phoned my order through, a massive choice on the menu. Delivered in less than 30 mins piping hot and massive portions, I will definitely be using again. Many Thanks

Good value everyday Chinese cuisine

We use the Southway Chinese on a regular basis. Food is always good, hot and "touch wood" we have never had a bad meal. It can be busy and delivery times can be a lengthy wait. I usually phone in and collect which reduces the waiting time and unlike other take aways they start preparing your food before you arrive and pay....

Best Chinese in Plymouth by a clear mile!

Great takeaway. Good food. Vegetable spring rolls are amazing! Friendly staff.

Just not what i would call chinese food very poor over cooked rice was terrible and the sweet and sour sauce was so sharp tasting couldnt eat it. They need to get some training on how to cook the food should be quick not wait till it goes stoggy.and the sauce should be orange with peppers onions and pinnapple in it.Chicken balls are round.Only thing that was good the delivery service.

Good takeaway. Chefs special fried rice v nice😀
