Chopstix - Plymouth

If you find yourself wandering the streets of Plymouth and craving bold, Asian-inspired flavors that hit fast and hit hard, Chopstix - Plymouth on New George Street is one of those spots that’s tough to walk past without doing a double-take-especially when the aroma of sweet and sour chicken wafts through the air. This casual eatery does exactly what it promises: delivers punchy pan-Asian cuisine in a fast, no-fuss setting that caters perfectly to busy lunch-goers, after-work diners, and solo eaters who just want a satisfying bite without the wait.

One of the best things about Chopstix is the customizable menu that makes choosing your meal feel like a mini adventure. You can mix and match dishes to suit your mood, hunger level, or spice tolerance. Craving comfort? Their Egg Fried Rice makes a solid base-lightly seasoned, fluffy, and never greasy. Add in a helping of Sweet and Sour Chicken, and suddenly you’ve got a combo that balances tangy, sticky sweetness with a crunch that doesn’t disappoint. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the pacing is just right-making this a popular stop for those grabbing a quick bite in Plymouth city centre.

For seafood lovers, the Sweet Chilli Prawns are an easy winner. They’ve got that sticky glaze you expect from good street-style wok cooking, with just enough heat to keep your palate awake. Combine it with Lo Mein noodles or Wild Rice, and you’ve got a lunch or dinner that tastes way more luxurious than the price tag suggests. That’s the beauty of Chopstix-it’s affordable without skimping on flavor, which is exactly why it draws in everyone from college students to office workers on a break.

Step inside and you’ll find a modern, clean space that leans into its fast-casual vibe. There's a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, so it’s convenient and inclusive. The queue moves quickly thanks to a simple layout and friendly staff who are clearly used to handling a rush with a smile. Whether you want to dine in, grab takeaway, or get your order delivered through local food apps, the service options flex to match your day.

But what really sets Chopstix apart in the bustling world of Asian street food spots? It’s that they don’t just cater to the eat-on-the-go crowd-they also offer small plates and desserts, so it’s not just a one-and-done experience. Got a little time to spare? Grab a seat and unwind with a couple of sides and something sweet. On a tight schedule? Pick up your meal in minutes and go. Either way, the consistency in flavor and fast turnaround time make this a go-to for repeat visits.

If you're someone who eats with your eyes first, you’ll appreciate the open serving counter where you can see exactly what you’re getting-no surprises, just glossy noodles, colorful veggies, golden chicken pieces, and that satisfying sheen of freshly tossed sauces. It’s the kind of setup that helps you build trust quickly-what you see is exactly what you taste.

In terms of competition, there are certainly other Asian takeout places in town, but Chopstix - Plymouth brings together the key elements that matter: speed, quality, affordability, and accessibility. Not every spot can juggle all four, but they seem to do it with ease. It's the kind of place where flavor doesn’t feel rushed, even if your lunch break is.

Whether you're grabbing your usual or experimenting with a new combo, Chopstix offers a consistent, crowd-pleasing experience with a menu that's flexible enough to cater to most cravings. It's that mix of reliability and bold flavor that keeps people coming back-and frankly, makes it hard to say no when you’re anywhere nearby.

I have been going to this place for lunch and the reason I’ve been a regular customer is because of the great costumer service by Kevin and Jordan! They are very generous, patient and extremely polite. Kevin never fails to serve my food the way I like it and I always leave the restaurant happy because of his amazing service! If you are looking for a place to get the most delicious food and have a nice meal this has to be it. Thank you Kevin and Jordan for making my day with your kindness!!

I just came in here to grab a quick bite to eat after not having much to eat and decided to get my birthday box. Claire on the counter was an absolute gem of a worker, she knows how to have a laugh, gives superb customer service and was delisted to have been served by her today :) My reasoning for 5 stars is because the food is always great (I love Chinese food), the service was immaculate (thanks to Claire) and the atmosphere was not too busy and not too quiet, it was just peaceful people watching out the window while also not having too much going on in the establishment. I shall always and forever return here and if you’ve not tried it yet then go for it! 5 ⭐’s all round

So first of all we didn't know where to eat and what we fancied. Decided to check out this place as we've heard grate reviews about it. Gladly we was served by a guy called David and what a guy he was! Very polite and helpful and even after we had eaten he asked us how it was which in my eyes goes a long way. Wish I could of left this guy cash tip! Will definitely be eating here again and hopefully David is working again so I can leave him his tip :). Everyone else seemed nice but not much eye contact or smiles. David really stood out. Keep up the good work
