About Far East Kitchen
On Weston Park Rd in Plymouth, Far East Kitchen is a Chinese takeaway working the counter for orders placed in house, by phone, or online. The munchie box (large) is a recurring order, built up with extra salt and pepper and a customer's chosen spice level. Chilli king prawns are also on the menu, served in large portions. Delivery reaches nearby addresses, with card payment taken at the door, and orders can also be collected. Service runs on a walk-in basis at the counter, and the takeaway gets very busy at peak times, with staff advising on the wait.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the munchy box, with several describing the portion as outrageous and one calling it a food coma of biblical proportions. One notes it can be a bit salty, though the staff sorted out a request for extra salt and pepper and a spicier order without fuss. Close behind are the chilli king prawns, called absolutely massive, and generous portions across the menu. Several say the food tastes fresh and full of flavour, arrives piping hot, and avoids the chewy chicken they find elsewhere in Plymouth. Counter staff and phone service are described as quick and friendly, and one reviewer says the staff advise on waiting times when it gets busy at peak hours. The main criticism comes from one longtime customer who says standards have slipped over the past year, reporting cubed chicken that looked frozen and reheated, plus watery sauces. Delivery earns praise too, with card payment at the door and a friendly driver.

“The large munch box sent me straight to another dimension. The portion is outrageous! Some might say it is a bit too salty but that is what makes it so tasty. I asked for extra salt & pepper and to make it spicy and they sorted me out no problem. Service was quick and the staff were spot on. Cannot recommend it enough. If you’ve got the munchies, grab one of these and brace yourself for a food coma of biblical proportions.”

“This is the place to go for excellent Chinese food. The range is wide and tailored to suit your own taste. Be aware, that this is a very popular takeaway and so will become very busy at peak times, although the staff will always advise on the length of waiting. Either order in house, website or telephone order. A delivery service is also offered at very reasonable rates.”
