Beijing Beijing Chinese Restaurant in Exeter

Just the best. Authentic, really good food. Wonderful service, more than happy to help with some of the more unusual menu items. Hot pot was huge, could have fed twice as many people. Go, now!

Fantastic service. It can be intimidating going to places that are as authentic as this place but they were so hospitable and more than happy to talk us through each step and what they recommend based on our preferences. We felt so valued as customers and will absolutely be returning when we come back to Exeter. Thank you so much for a fantastic evening!

Very nice taste of authentic chinese food here

Delicious and authentic Chinese food.

Great authentic Chinese cuisine, hidden gem!

Very authentic basic vibe, not fancy at all; felt like we were in Asia! The food was fantastic, served quickly tasted fresh and served boiling hot which always is a good thing! run by a a sweet family with mum cooking in the back. Would highly recommend!

It is indeed authentic Chinese food. I ordered spicy pepper sausage, fish-flavored shredded pork and two-color tofu. They are all dishes that require a lot of effort. Very clean and very tasty. Double-color tofu is duck blood and tofu, which is the taste of hometown. The portion is also very large. Two people can hardly finish the three dishes, so they have to take them away hahahaha

Authentic Hotpot, friendly service and fresh ingredients. A little expensive but good value for the quality of food. Parking is easy across the road

So pleased to have found delicious Chinese food and look forward to exploring the menu more. We ordered delivery and were very impressed by the flavour, quality, and quantity of the food. When in the mood for Chinese food in the future, this will be the restaurant we pick!

i get hot pot w my mum and her friends here sometimes n it’s always good ^w^ !!

Best Chinese in town! Chive parcels and braised Sichuan beef are absolutely amazing!

Excellent Chinese restaurant in Exeter. Only hotpot place here, but it is very tasty and reasonably priced. Spicy is actually spicy and not watered down. Wide selection of other chinese cuisine too and Tsingtao beer. Make sure to book in advance as there are always people waiting to be seated. Would recommend!

Only place in Exeter that sells hot pot, yet the best one in the country.

The taste is average. The chef needs to be replaced.

It’s really delicious~The boss and the service guy are also very kind👍🏻

Food is alright, but it's either too sweet or too spicy. Food is also expensive and they only take cash. Too much trouble every time.

The food was absolutely incredible! I really recommend it, great spice levels 😋

Didn't know what gluten free was.

terrible delivery, very rude! the lady and man who delivered were screaming at me for not being able to find the place

Oh M geeeeee. This place serves the best food, like everrrr! No seriously its very good food and the service is quick. They only take cash though so don't forget. No credit/debit cards allowed. Great for large parties too

So, I went here when they opened a few years back, and had an enjoyable experience with the hot pot, since returning a few times now is my final. As they continuously let us down, with poorly cooked dishes, over use of Szechwan and suspiciously stinky quid. At this price point I would expect to get great food. If you want what they offer, but cooked properly then go to robot chef, on sidwell street. Same price point, but worth every penny. Good bye Beijing Beijing I'll not urge on your splurge again.

This is my favourite restaurant in Exeter, I don’t live there anymore but whenever I come back I try to visit. It is the only place I know that has charcoal heated hotpot! And the pricing for hotpot is excellent compared to other places, and really good quality. Always really nice and cosy and friendly in there. It’s lovely being in there on a winter afternoon and as more people get hotpot it warms up and the windows get steamy.

Went there for the second time, this time with friends on their insistence. I gave it one more shot but again they failed to deliver because it is a very pricey “buffet” the waiter did not get our second round orders. We were ordering more rounds however, once the first round has passed they wait 30 minutes for next rounds, which was extremely rude. This was especially evident as new people came in and got their food before we did and we ordered 20 minutes before that at that point. Drinks are all £3 + and at the end they also add a mandatory service charge of 10% which makes the buffet for only basic ingredients about 33£ per person. Taste is good

Not for us.... No wine.. Food was not great. Help yourself to kids drinks from fridge.? Basic with high prices.

地道中餐，口味不重口。点了回锅肉，外婆红烧肉，干锅肥肠，都很不错。回锅肉尤其惊艳。不过最好吃的还是羊蝎子。A hidden gem.

Two bits of chicken in the Chickenless chow mein and Satay chicken lacking peanuts. Shan't be spending on this again. Prompt delivery though.

The food was very nice and staff seemed friendly, but it was extremely overpriced. I feel that restaurant is slightly exploiting the wealthier Chinese students who are looking for a taste of home. A no frills restaurant with a fancy price tag. Can't fault the food, just the prices.

Had hotpot here with a few friends, some ingredients seems like not so fresh, two friends and I felt gastrointestinal discomfort soon after the meal. Apart from this, the attitude of the waiters may still needs to improve.

Least authentic Chinese food in the UK! And the service attitude is very bad. Going to his house to eat is a waste of money. Please both Chinese and British people avoid eating in this restaurant, thank you. 请告诉我这家店能在英国开这么多年的原因？锅包肉的肉根本不是猪里脊而是猪排，又肥又腻。因为看着就很恶心我直接他们退了所以没有照片。还和我讲英国锅包肉都这么做的？我笑了，我老公呆英国十年就没见过那么离谱的锅包肉！ 酸菜鱼勾芡简直整个都是黏的，自己做的都比这个好吃。真是离了大谱。 服务员就跟脑瘫一样😃我说重新给我们一副筷子可以吗？他指了指筷子意思是自己取，那要你干嘛？我就直接说你给我去取这才给我筷子。 每一样菜可以吃。难吃至极。这种菜馆还继续开着祸害人真的在座的各位都有责任😃

Overpriced for average quality. Staff didn't explain that the hotpots a buffet.

really great food, don't be put off by the decor

I really wanted to like this place because I love no frills, authentic restaurants which is what this appeared to be, and maybe it was, but unfortunately it was also cold, the staff were super unfriendly and half the food we ordered was poor. We had chicken that was dry and two dishes that tasted overwhelmingly of cumin with no balance of flavours at all. I don;t expect bells and whistles, but he staff gave us the impression that they didn't want us to be there at all. To top it off, it was really expensive for what it was.

Terrible service. Waited for longer than an hr for my takeaway which I only ordered 2 items.

I didn’t have the hotpot, people looked like they enjoyed it. I tried the a la carte menu which was below average and wouldn’t expect this sort of quality to be served in a professional setting. This is the first time I have experienced awful Chinese food and was very disappointed.

Really poor customer service I’m not one to leave reviews but it doesn’t take much effort to just talk to someone like a human being. The food was bang average go for it folks

Nice, small, family run place feel. Really enjoyed the food. Very authentic, didn't feel anglicanised. Try the dry hotpot!

Most dishes are delicious, and the amount is worth the price. Just keep away Guo Bao Rou, Sour and Sweet poor ribs, if you are from China because they are really different from their original versions back in China.

Just had a takeaway delivery. Was the best Chinese takeaway we've ever had. We've had Chinese food in China, eating this transported us back there. The beef parcel held together nicely, wasn't too oily and was delicious and crisp. The stir fried pork belly was delicious, flavoured well and again not oily - like many other takeaway food. The chilli chicken was amazing. Floral, spicy, crispy - unami through and through. If you ever want food similar to that of what you find in China, I would highly recommend. My only negative - I do not live near and am on holiday and only wish I had this available nearer to home.

Food was quite good and authentic. The Sichuan food is normally a lot spicier but it was just right for our palate.

老北京火锅风味 没想到远在他乡也能吃到这么美味地道的火锅 真是有福了 亲切感十足 爱了爱了

Chef is from Sichuan. Food is traditional Chinese, one of the best I had in the UK.

We ordered £50 food delivery on NYeve, I ordered chili chicken and some beef soup. The chili chicken was absolutely bone dry and tasted and looked like spicy pot pouri with bone dry fried chicken thigh with bone in so you had no choice but to eat the bone it tasted so terrible I couldn't eat it and I thought I could eat absolutely anything. The soup also tasted terrible, I'm not sure if I'm not used to authentic Chinese food but both dishes were inedible for me, it tasted bizarre? We were both very disappoined!

Truly amazing. Food was very authentic and the atmosphere was traditional, almost like being back in China. Highly recommend this place - best place I’ve been to so far thats outside of London!

The best part is they open all day, not like other Asian restaurants in Exeter having an afternoon break between lunch and dinner. We tried dishes rather than Beijing hot pot. It was okay, neither surprising nor disappointing.

So sad, drove 80 miles to come here as it said it was open and looked great... denied, not open boxing day :( *Update: Planned to go again, after lockdown, alas phone is never answered. So we gave up trying

They have successfully eliminated the stinky taste of the British pork, which most the other restaurants haven't. I can achieve that by myself at home, but it will cost me 3hs to do it. Well done, great taste of Northern Chinese food.

Fantastic authentic Chinese food..

Food was authentic and simple. Definitely worth a visit - whilst not everyone's cup of tea, it is well priced and the food is tasty. One negative - service can be slow.

NOT recommended - so called 'buffet', food came in small portions (understandable in terms of reducing food waste) yet the service was slow when re-ordering...compulsory 10% service charge was added to the bill for terrible service. Food per se was alright, give it a go if you'd like to try Beijing-style hotpot; AVOID otherwise, being (possibly) the only hotpot restaurant in Exeter doesn't mean customers shall be impolitely treated.

Proper Chinese fry and stir dish, tasty nostalgia from the chef.

Back home from a week holiday in Cornwall, stopping at Exeter for lunch, amazing food, I am Chinese and my husband is English, we both loves the food, with gov Eat out and help out, 3 people for a big lunch under £30 is really good value.

Had a really tasty hotpot. Can't wait to visit again.

Great place for traditional chinese hotpot and have many refreshing drinks. Fills me up every time!

Great authentic food! The restaurant isn't really catered for the English I.e. it's not watered down and the menu has a lot of Chinese. Highly recommend the place

The price is too high. Will not recommend at all

We had hotpot, the selection was plentiful and the quality was average. The service was great, the staff were attentive and paid attention to small details.

We had a lovely meal and staff were friendly and helpful. Wish we had been brave enough to try the hotpot. Maybe next time

Very friendly staffs, great Northeastern steamboat

The food is very traditional Chinese food, good quality. But portion is not big.

Hotpot is wonderful. Dishes are delicious , too. Hometown taste. Yummy~~~

We arrived at 5.30 pm on a Sunday, The restaurant was so cold we had to ask staff to put some heating on. Some staff were wearing their coats to serve, with one girl wearing a long overcoat with the hood up. Our food arrived in random with rice brought out first before any of the dishes. Prices high for what it is, for example a dish of stir fry brocoli at £8! Won't recommend at all.

We had the most amazing traditional Chinese charcoal heated hot pot here. The service was amazing and generous portion. Perfect meal in the winter!

Highly recommend to spicy food lover· Really great taste and high quality. Yes service is also good and people are friendly here. Definitely gonna come next time.

Really enjoyed eating here. Fantastic food, great portion sizes. Doesn't look like much from the outside (or the inside) but the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed and the waitress was very helpful. Highly recommend.

Brillliant authentic chinese food. Great tastes. The place is nice with friendly services from the owner and staff.

Great, authentic Chinese food in relaxed, if basic, cafe setting

Fantastic proper Chinese cafe in Exeter - like the real thing from China!

The best Chinese restaurant in Exeter by far!! Definitely a little gem as the place doesn't look like much from the outside but food will blow you away. Would highly recommend, but don't come here if you are looking for your normal Chinese takeaway for chicken ball (English food)

Pls note that they are closed from 21 august 2018 for one month.

Wonderful authentic Sichuan cuisine. We ordered too much but left very satisfied. Basic decor but it's all about the food. Friendly service. There are two menus, a la carte or hot pot. Be prepared to have your palate challenged if you're used to your standard westernised Chinese restaurant.

Delicious, authentic Chinese food. We need more of these types of restaurants in Exeter

This place is true Chinese food for Chinese people. It's an absolute eye opener for anyone else that hasn't experienced the real deal. The people that work here are lovely and friendly - the food is great too but it won't please those that expect the normal sweet and sour chicken etc that crops up on your average Chinese restaurant menu in the UK. What you will get is 'hot pot' where you cook your food yourself and a variety of other exciting dishes. The lamb skewers are amazing!

A great gem in Exeter with excellent authentic Chinese food and lovely staff. Really want to go back and try the hot pots

Freshly prepared food and very, very friendly staff. I had the kung pao chicken and it was amazing.

Great all you can eat hotpot and Chinese stir fry. My favourite Chinese restaurant in Exeter!!!

Fantastic Hot-pot and traditional Chinese Stir-fry.
