Quick info
About Silver Dragon
Silver Dragon is a Chinese takeaway in Plymouth, at 255 Dean Cross Rd, and it works as a takeaway rather than a sit-in restaurant. Set menu A is put together for two people, which gives a couple a single order to choose. The battered chicken comes with sweet and sour sauce, and customers can ask for curry sauce in its place. Chow mein is also on the menu for those who want a noodle dish.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken and sweetcorn soup is the dish diners single out most, with crispy seaweed and prawn toasts close behind. One reviewer describes a set menu with prawn crackers as tasty, with nice sized portions that arrived very hot. Others mention quick delivery and reasonable prices. Opinion is sharply split, though, and about half the reviews are critical. Longtime customers say quality has slipped, citing burnt noodles, dishes that were too sweet and gloopy, poor meat, oily and soggy food, chewy beef, and rice that looked like porridge. Two describe wrong orders. One found chicken in place of beef chow mein and in the prawn balls, then met an argumentative response on the phone. The other phoned twice and was told to drive back for a refund. Staff are called rude in those accounts, yet other reviewers find them really nice and understanding. One notes they swapped sweet and sour sauce for curry sauce with battered chicken.

“Been to this place few times as I live in the area. Close enough to walk and collect. Really nice staff and food has always been great when ordered. Also helps that I can swap sweet and sour sauce for curry sauce with battered chicken as partners is not a fan. Really understanding staff. Definitely keep coming back”

“Ordered over £50 worth of food Saturday night for collection. When we collected our food we noticed that 2 chow meins were chicken should have been beef and prawn balls were chicken! We rang to try and sort the order hoping that they would re deliver what we ordered. The man on the phone was rude argumentative trying to blame the girl in the phone even tho she had confirmed the correct order! He continued to argue stating we had ordered chicken! Kept trying to blame the lady who took order! Very aggressive, rude no customer service at all! Will NOT use silver dragon again be warned check your food before you leave!!!!”

“Excellent! I got a takeaway.. Chicken & sweetcorn soup, Set menu A (2 persons) but all for me!!, as well as prawn crackers. Will do another 2 or 3 meals at least. The food was amazing, very hot when i got home 20mins later. Very good, tasty and nice sized portions. Couldn't fault the service. Will order again.”

“Always used silver dragon in the past as used to be nice, but have noticed food quality has declined on recent occasions. This evening was the worst. It was oily , soggy and beef was chewy. I wouldn’t even give this to my dog. Will go elsewhere and try another Chinese next time.”

“Always very nice. Atmosphere can't really be rated as its a take away not sit in restaurant”
