Silver Lake

Silver Lake on Johnston Road is a Chinese takeaway serving the residential streets immediately south of Woodford Underground station. The menu covers the standard British-Cantonese range — fried rice, chow mein, crispy duck, sweet and sour dishes — and customers report enjoying the toffee bananas as a dessert worth ordering. Reviews are variable, with some calling it the best Chinese in the area and others noting that quality can depend on which chef is working on a given night. Johnston Road is a quiet side road off the southern end of Woodford High Road, placing the shop within easy walking distance of the tube. Cash is accepted; the shop operates as collection and delivery for the surrounding Woodford Green neighbourhood.
