Reliable neighbourhood Chinese takeaway with great value
Silver Star has been a Bethnal Green staple for years, serving up reliable Western Chinese food that punches well above its price point. The restaurant operates more like a neighbourhood takeaway than a sit-down dining experience, but that's part of its charm. You'll find a friendly family team behind the counter who remember your usual order if you're a regular.
The food is consistently good with generous portions that make it excellent value. The chilli salted king prawns and crispy shredded beef are must-orders, while the BBQ ribs in sauce have built a loyal following. Some dishes like the sweet and sour meats are less impressive, but overall the quality is solid. It's closed on Mondays, but open evenings from Tuesday through Sunday, making it a dependable choice for a quick Chinese takeaway when you don't want to spend a fortune.
