Quick info
About Eastern Sunrise
On Melrose Ave in Plymouth, Eastern Sunrise is a Chinese takeaway that takes orders on a walk-in basis rather than by reservation. The regular order leans toward fried rice, chowmein, satay skewers, and chicken foo young with curry sauce. Payment is cash only, so customers should have that ready when ordering. Delivery is also used to reach nearby addresses, though it can run slower at busier times. The kitchen sends dishes out very hot, and the seasoning on several items runs salty. Orders are placed at the counter with no table service on site.

Customer Review Summary
Fried rice draws the most repeated praise, described as piping hot and paired with satay skewers as a consistent favorite; the chicken foo young with curry sauce and the chowmein also get singled out as tasty. Several describe ordering for years without issue, noting the food always arrives hot and the staff as welcoming, and one reviewer mentions an unexpected extra bag of spring rolls added for a birthday. A recurring complaint centers on oversalting: one reviewer describes a meal so overpowering it was inedible, a nearly two hour wait, and a refund only after the food was collected back, while another simply asks that the salt be toned down. A separate reviewer reports slow delivery and frustration that only cash was accepted. Despite this, most describe generous portions and good value, with the takeaway remaining a regular order for longtime customers in the area.
