Bird's Nest Chinese Restaurant in West Devon

Unfortunately this takeaway has gone down hill. My partner and I regularly ordered from here. But over the past 4/5 months it’s become awful. Every time we have ordered there has been a dish missing or wrong. The past couple of times I double checked the order before leaving. On one occasion I asked the staff to make sure that there was no mushrooms in the dish as its was for some with a sever allergy, to be told “I think so”. Tonights order had something missing and they brought the dish out and I checked it, it was wrong. All the other food was left on the side to cool off. When I questioned staff they said that they would cook new. (But did this really quickly) When I got the food home the prawns and pork in the dish were over cooked and chewy, and the cashew nuts were soggy. Additionally, the Beef and bean sprouts had the sauce missing from it. We have now decided not to bother going back again. It’s such a shame as this place use to be a real gem.

We've been ordering food from here for 5 years and even dinned in the upstairs restaurant occasionally, but tonight was the 3rd time our order was delayed & incorrect. Online delivery orders have really ruined this 'once lovely' restaurant because they haven't increased their capacity or have robust capable staff. Won't be ordering from here ever again.

Take away , soggy crispy duck, spare ribs just little pieces of bones, king prawns tasteless,glad we don't live in Travistock

Ribs ( little bits of bones )no flavour, crisps duck soft with cinnamon to hide the none crispy,with pancake so soft they split when folded,king prawn no taste glad I don't live in tavistock

Terrible sorry but would rather eat a mars for dinner terrible food so bland no flavour poor looking could eat it sorry won't waste my money again there don't recommend to noone

After a failed delivery from another Chinese in Tavistock I order a delivery from Birds Nest be be left disappointed with poor food!! Lemon Chicken was terrible, totally dry, no lemon dressing on the chicken at all....unless you call one pathetic thin slice of lemon on top "dressing", so was very dry & very poor considering this place is more expensive than the other chinese in Tavi, never had such dry lemon chicken. Rice I had was OK Plus side, delivery was quick

Top treat, food is fresh and tasty, service is quick and polite. Need more than 5 stars

We’re so happy that the Birds Nest has improved to become a firm favourite again! The portion sizes are generous, the food piping hot and really tasty. The service is really friendly and helpful. We have been going to this restaurant for years and you won’t be disappointed.

Just ordered from here this evening. And I won't be ordering again, food is terrible, the sweet and sour sauce tastes of nothing but ketchup . Honey and mustard chicken is awful and the chips have been reheated, inedible. A waste of £25. Don't waste your £ , avoid.

Absolute gem of a restraunt. Old building charm, good service and the food ( set menu C for 2) was excellent. All dishes very tasty and we couldn’t eat it all. Leftovers boxed up for a lunch later. Highly recommended.

I visited the restaurant this evening, with a group of upwards of a dozen friends. We were seated quickly and drinks orders taken as we arrived. Prawn crackers were placed throughout the table without being requested and food orders taken swiftly. The meals arrived pretty much as ordered, with one small mistake ( quickly rectified) . The rice was a little late coming out , but the portions were really generous, and full of chicken, prawns or beef dependent on the choices. I had King Prawn Rendang , which was packed with prawns and full of flavour. We followed up with coffee and mints, and fortune cookies, which was a lovely old school touch. A really lovely meal all round . I understand that all my colleagues also enjoyed their choices. Good service and value for money.

Wish I hadn’t visited, should have known as empty and cold. Food reasonable but visiting toilet was a big mistake and the waitress was miserable - obviously didn’t want to be there. AVOID

So sad how much The Birds Nest has gone downhill. We wanted a weekend treat and ordered a takeaway to be delivered. Food came, delivery fee paid and a tip only to discover several items were missing. We were told we don’t know when it will be delivered so we had to drive to Tavistock to collect as it was our children’s meals. A quick sorry from the teenage girl and that was it. Whilst I was there the other one cut herself on a metal container and ran it under the tap for second, shrugged and carried on serving. Hope it goes back to its previous standard!!

Had a takeaway this evening from here. Ordered our takeaway was told half hour until pick up, then had to wait a further 40 minutes. The chicken curry wa slimy and watery the chips were hard and the chicken balls were tasteless. The staff are basically running the show and the kitchen is so disorganised it’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t bother!!!!!

Quick service and not much wait time. Staff were friendly and polite. Only used it for take away so far.

Delicious ! , visiting Tavistock we wanted to have a Chinese takeaway , unsure which one to pick as not being local we chose the Birds Nest ignoring the handful of bad reviews , and I’m glad we did the food was hot and plentiful . The Crispy chilli beef was probably the best we have ever tasted . Very satisfied

We did have one item missing but this was rectified with a phone call and we popped back in the following day and was given a refund for that item . ( would suggest you check your order in collection ) Very satisfied

Avoid avoid avoid!! Ordered several times and always get the order wrong. Customer service is shocking and young girl on the front has a terrible attitude. My final and last time of ordering I was missing 2 dishes. Rung them and asked for a refund as by the time I would drive back down to collect the missing dishes my food at home would be cold. They said this wasn’t possible but I could still go and collect one of the dishes that was missing. Not listening to the fact that I had a 15 min drive there and back so the food I did have would be cold when I collected the missing dish. I then asked for a full refund and I would return all the food! They agreed to this. So all the food went back, them checking to make sure I had not eaten anything from the dishes when I returned. Clearly going to re heat and send back out to someone 🤢 I was then told I had to wait for my refund because they done it at the end of the night wanting my card details written down! It took my husband to go in there and demand it now before the refund was given.

absolutely lovely place, definitely recommend, really helpful and friendly staff. food is always delicious:)

Not good. I have to say the quality of some of the food was appalling. The Chicken for use with the Satay sauce was probably the saltiest thing I've eaten since I last drank some seawater. I can only imagine they're storing chicken in brine during the off season to preserve it. The ribs were fine - nothing all that special, same goes for the prawn toast and spring rolls. (About the same quality as Tesco pack you cook yourself). The Chicken balls were nice in themselves but the Sweet and Sour sauce seemed a wee bit runny and was heavy on the tomato. The Chow Mein was disgusting and was completely ruined in taste with a strong smelling cabbage - upon opening the pack it was a smell far more similar to our compost bin than pork noodles. All in all it was a great disappointment.

Crispy shredded chilli beef was soggy and falling apart and house special fried rice was mush like dog food, rang and they told me to come back and they will replace the dishes got there to then be told they wouldn't replace house special fried rice but will replace the crispy chilli beef dish which obviously I wasn't happy about! and then to top it off the replaced crispy chilli beef had bits of paper in! And to be honest I can't be bothered to go back and experience such rude people again! Will not be going back there again! Kantonese is by far better than this place, AVOID

Really delicious food and decent service. Was a bit chilly in the restaurant, but we were the only diners, so we can't blame them!

We ordered a family Chinese from here, my daughter found a piece of fine metal in her soft noodles with short black hair in, went back they would own up to it very poor, won't be returning there again

Our favourite Tavistock Chinese food! When ordering a delivery or takeaway there is such a lovely young lady I speak to and have a giggle with as my fella is so fussy 😂.

Food was ok, 7/10 - but service was dreadful. Like eating in a dentinst waiting room, no cheery waitress or customer service, Ordered drinks that never arrived, takeaway is the way to go from now on.

My first time leaving a review but its also my first time being shouted at.. couldn't find my home because the house name clashed with another but in an entirely different village. Which the difference being village name and postcode obviously.. simply type the post code then area name and search for the house name! Very easy isn't it one would think 🤣 but nope. She shouted at me because she had trouble but didn't think to confirm untill our food was damn near cold. Told me I should change my house name took the money from my hands and walked off without even giving me my change! I regret not giving her a piece of my mind honestly. Bearing in mind they've found this house before but she can't work a Sat nav so took it out on me 🤷🏼‍♂️ food is great but my god don't get a delivery because it'll be cold and you'll have to change your house number and or name!

Always consistent, always great service, food is always exactly what I ask for.

Ordered from here for the first time on Saturday night, the food was really nice, ready early and staff were polite, I'd recommend this place!

We used to eat here regularly but something has changed. The food was really disappointing and I’ll leave it at that. Did the chef have a bad day?

My 4 stars are for the young girl serving as very nice and polite. However, the food is just shocking and the restaurant is just dirty and sticky everywhere and toilets are not nice. Sorry.

This was my go to takeaway for Chinese up until tonight. It was AWFUL! £60 for the only part I ate was the cashew nuts in the chicken and cashew. The chicken and sweetcorn soup was the consistency of mucus. The salt and pepper chicken stuck together, the crispy duck was soft and soggy, I could go on and on! Will now have to find a different Chinese take away!

Tasty food and very reasonably priced. We liked the duck with cashew nuts, special fried rice and chicken chow mein. Mum couldn't climb the stairs so we were accommodated downstairs. If I were in Tavistock in future I would definitely visit again.

Got to say, had one of the best takeaways last night. Food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely order from you again

I have fond memories of the place from its heyday, but revisiting it, it seems badly in need of investment and a refresh. Firstly, the place, for a bank holiday weekend was deadeningly quiet, the second thing you notice is that everything seems faded and, well, to be honest, slightly sticky (doors, banisters, bowls, etc). Not good. Now, I can cope with sticky, and cheap and cheerful, but the food was a let down. The buns were hefty, doughy and sausage-roll like (fine, for a sausage roll); the main course, well, very average would be fair. Relatively expensive also. The service was average, with staff seemingly distracted by the takeaway aspect of the business. Small things - forgotten cutlery, significant time between my meal and my wife's arriving, etc - but they mounted up. All in all, improvements (and a really good wipe) are needed before I consider going again, which is a pity. Good luck, nevertheless.

Best spicy crispy beef I had, family love their noodle and curry sauce. Good service. Good restaurant.

Truly awful!!!! Grubby surroundings, terrible terrible food, poor service, awful atmosphere (we ate in). We went for nostalgia sake, back in the day it was amazing, really good food, and a great service experience. Night and day from last night. Firstly, everything was sticky…Sticky carpets, sticky hand rails up the stairs, sticky table mats, sticky menus. Not the best start. The carpet was stained and worn, chairs had I’ll filling cheap covers, there was even a plant dying in a corner. There was us, and one other brave table. There was just one poor girl working, covering the restaurant and the counter for the takeaway downstairs - she was run off her feet. The food….I’ll start with a positive, hubbies duck spring rolls were nice, hot and crispy. I had jaiozi, I love them! I buy decent frozen ones from the Chinese supermarket often, these however were terrible. The skins were thick, and as they weren’t properly cooked (the filling was watery and cool) they were reminiscent of half cooked vegan sausage rolls with thick uncooked shortcrust pastry. Add to that the portion (thankfully) was tiny (4) which even at man on the street Chinese supermarket prices would’ve cost in total about 80p. Hubby agreed that it was probably the worst dish I’d ever had. I ate because I was starving and it was very expensive. Next course and it didn’t improve. Firstly the service, my sizzling dish arrived first. It took a full 5 minutes then before the plates arrived, followed by the rice and hubbies dish 2-3 minutes later, by then there was a distinct lack of sizzle. Hubby had Szechuan beef, edible but basically a mix of sweet and sour sauce and sweet chilli sauce. I had sizzling lamb with ginger and spring onion; the lamb meat was lovely, the sauce though was sweet, overly salty, and in the half of the plate I ate didn’t have a single hint of ginger. We both had special fried rice, it was over cooked, cold, had no prawns in and was odd tasting (like smoked meat). The waitress checked in on us part was through, hubby will never let me say if things aren’t good but I had too, I explained that my lamb had no ginger and our rice was cold and over cooked. She apologised and said she’d tell the chef. Nothing came back, not that I’d wanted any more but an offer to remake the rice at least would’ve at least gone some way to helping. We paid our near £70 bill (including a coke snd 2 beers) and left. It was so bad that we invented a new game in the car on the way home called ‘Id rather of eaten…..’ this included ‘a tyre’ ‘’plutonium’ and ‘one of Terry Wigan’s toupees’

Lovely staff, lovely food and good value for money.

We arrived for our reservation on Friday night and were promptly seated, we ordered our food and drinks and made ourselves comfortable. The starter took 20 minutes to arrive and arrived before our drinks did. The half duck was full of shattered bone and burnt. It wasn’t until an hour and half after sitting down that our main dishes arrived. But in 2 halves. 1 person in our party had received their entire meal and had practically finished by the time the other persons meals arrived, the plates and bowls were sticky and chipped. Throughout this, the staff were arguing amongst themselves, faces like thunder, clattering about with no leadership or organisation. Once the meal was over we expressed our disappointment to the supervisor/manager and they were very apologetic and offered us 10% off our meal which we gratefully accepted. However, another customer came up to us and started intimidating us, repeatedly asking us where we were employed and how much money we earned. Gradually getting closer and closer to us and raising his voice. The staff did nothing to stop the altercation or get involved whatsoever. Never have I ever been afraid to return to a restaurant before. The food was good but the service felt like if you weren’t a local you were in for a night of trouble. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone passing through Tavistock especially if the locals are so aggressive to anyone who expects the bare minimum.

I remember why I don’t eat Chinese food, the greasy feeling in your mouth lasts for ages. Nothing wrong with the place but, nothing to write home about either. Distinctly average.

Don't go when busy if you are GF. They only serve GF food when they are NOT busy!!! Will be taking OUR business elsewhere. - Added after response. The meal I tried to order was the same served 2 weeks previous in the restaurant. I was then told none of the dishes were GF after girl asked manager. So not misunderstood.

Couldn’t fault the food - set menu B very tasty. But the service was poor when delivering the duck. They forgot the pancakes, so we were just sat upstairs with the duck getting cold. If I hadn’t have gotten up and gone down, not convinced they would have come up for ages. Good food at a good price, but be prepared to wait/chase food if eating in.

Great food, great service. Will gladly return. Thanks 😊

Usually order on regular basis.. today put order in at 2.30pm to be delivered at 6.40pm.. At 6.55pm saw a driver delivering Chinese up the road. Asked if they had ours as it was late, told that their other driver must be delivering ours so we phoned the restaurant to find out where our delivery was.., told oh sorry we are busy this evening it’s going to be another 20mins.. could understand if I had only just put the order in but it was placed 4 hours before..

Nice food. Crispy sweet n sour chicken balls. Tasty chicken satay.

Me and my partner ordered a Chinese takeaway from here for our first night in Tavi in our new house. The food did not disappoint, it was delivered quickly and piping hot! Was so yummy . Recommend the crispy chilli beef.

I had a takeaway which was really nice. Very tasty and authentic.

Honestly, incredibly disappointing food. Never again.

We’ve eaten here many times since moving to Dousland. There were other restaurants closer but found they weren’t anywhere near as good as The Birds Nest. We have also taken friends with us at times & they have been extremely impressed with the food & service. Travelling that extra few miles is certainly worth it to enjoy the quality of the food served here. See you soon Birds Nest

Used this restaurant because it was the only Chinese open on a Monday. Wasn’t greatly impressed. Chicken balls have more batter than chicken. Chicken curry was lovely though. Just seemed very expensive for what we had. Young lady taking orders isn’t Chinese or from that origin, although she’s very nice

Had a nice meal in the restaurant..very well served ....Nice staff

Not good. Late driver. Didn’t give change. Had to call to get the change back. Happened a few times now. Some food was cold. I’ll go else where from now on. Shame.

So disappointed going there after all the lock downs for a takeaway. Waiting area was dirty and sticky. Food was mediocre at best

Foods ok. Portions are generous. Batter is too thick and overpowering.

DON’T BOTHER! I was recommended & during lockdown they were good. Since then, RUBBISH!. Ordered on line & wrong order picked up. Ordered in person last Sat, wrong order realised when got home. Back to Birds Nest 10 mins later & girl that served me didn’t recognise me! Yet missing order appeared straightaway - NEVER going back.

Good food but please be wary if ordering gluten free. Once it arrives we like the food from the Birds Nest but although the menu states they can cater for gluten free we’ve always had problems. So if you have dietary needs, it is very concerning. So several occasions, we’ve talked to staff and agreed an order, only to be called much later to tell us those options aren’t available. Last night, they called us AFTER we collected the order to tell us they hadn’t included the gluten free meals at all because they couldn’t do it! They did redo the whole order and deliver, and we know dealing with dietary needs is difficult but I’m afraid we’ve lost faith.

Just like the other reviewer, we were using this place on a regular basis but we. stopped using it about a rear ago because of the constant mistakes. we tried it again tonight to see if it had improved, but it hasn't. we thought that we had placed a simple order, they even read it back to us when it came out of the kitchen. travelled the 4.8 miles home and guess what when we opened up the bag to put the food on the plates, the order was wrong yet again!. I rang up straight away and was told that they had made a mistake with the order, I said could they please deliver the right order, but was told we lived too far for there driver to travel even though it was there muck up again?? I asked to speak to the manager which was a total waste of time, she couldn't even give a reason as to how they made the mistake! Don't waste your time going here. We cant be the only people spending money here that they are getting the orders wrong for. Maybe if everyone they mucked up the orders for went elsewhere they would soon get there act together.....???? I await a response from the management

Please do not bother to waste your time ordering from hear!!! Delivery well over 45 minutes late!! No apologies just arrogance from the lady on the telephone.

Love this place. Have been here many times. Staff are lovely and the food is Amazing. Good prices too :)

Service was rubbish and awkward, the two young girls made it feel like you walked into a youth club than a restaurant. Could hear them talking about us from upstairs…rude! almost like we was a hindrance!! Both girls not presentable nor fit into that environment. Shame as food was ok. Don’t bother! You spend money on another restaurant where you get look after by grown ups not rude children

Seriously don’t bother. We have been using the Birdsnest for years over the other 2 in Tavistock. Gone downhill massively. Constantly make mistakes. Not interested in the problem, this time missed items off online order which I collected. I asked the guy to check it and give reciept. Got home and items missing. It’s not hard, check stuff into the bag. Won’t go again. Try the Cantonese kitchen if you want a good Chinese.

Order by phone. Ready on time. We both had Chinese curry which was good. Plenty of meat but only two prawns. I’ve previously had Foo young which was poor.

Decent Chinese food and reasonably priced

Went for dinner and ate in. Restaurant was very busy with takeaway customers so took a while to get served. Food was good, had crispy shredded beef with plain noodles.

Avoid. Very poor customer service from the manager/owner. Three times we have driven some distance to collect a takeaway and have been very disappointed to find we had missing items, despite assurances that the orders had been checked, necessitating a return. We were offered a small discount (but no apology) off our next order but we will not be revisiting.

Reliably good here. Always quick, friendly service. Good food. Recommend Pancake roll starters.

First time trying and won’t be returning. The food was poor in flavour and texture.

Delicious and hot on arrival and plentiful portions. Perfect after a day on Dartmoor.

Sorry to see this place has had a few unlucky customers. I tried it recently and enjoyed it very much - nearest thing to proper chinese cooking for miles.

I have meant to leave this review for a while now. One of the best meals we have ever had...so recommend it. Returning on Friday for my husbands birthday. A little gem..compliments to the chef...super duper.

Ordered a Chinese online and rang up to pay as we had done before and were told that we are not allowed to do this normally but they would let us do it this time, even though we had done it before and not been...

Not good. Crispy beef was anything but. Chicken balls hard and inedible. Had a real monosodium glutamate look. Duck rolls contained virtually no duck. Real disappointment.

My birthday treat - quiet place to eat-in with delicious food

As far as the food goes, it was all very nice, tasty and plentiful portions however... ... the staff were very young (students?) and lacking in any sort of knowledge regarding menu/drink availability etc. and one would doubt that they had a food hygiene certificate between them 🥴 The bottled beers are listed all at the same price point but no indication of bottle size and the young lad serving hadn't a clue either 😶 The general decor of the restaurant is tired at best and don't get me started on the toilets 🤢 If I'd had this food delivered to home I would have been reasonably pleased but now I've seen where it comes from I'd probably have second thoughts... It's a shame and could have been so much better...

My friend and I went here last night for takeaway. Wonderful food and great service from staff. I've had delivery from them as well. Best Chinese in Tavistock. You won't regret getting food from here. Thanks guys!

Frustrating, this could of been a fantastic Chinese, to describe the chicken as tough and over cooked would be and understatement, I’ve had gob stoppers easier to chew. It was like that across all the dishes we ordered, had the chicken been cooked well, don’t...

Delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere.

This used to be a great Chinese so when we didn't enjoy the food last time we gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried them again. I so wish we hadn't bothered, it was so salty that after a few mouthfuls it went...

Great food and service. Delicious starters of salt and pepper prawns and chicken dumplings. The sizzling lamb and Kung po chicken were tasty too. If you are in Tavistock and fancy a Chinese book here and you will not be disappointed

Set up an account on their website so we could order the final meal of our holiday and completed the order at 1pm for collection at 6.30pm. Drove 20 mins to pick it up, meal for 5 people, to be told they had no gas...

First time we've dined in, having had some excellent takeaways in the past. As one of the children was visiting, thought we'd try dining in. Authentic decor and the young lady who served us throughout the meal was so polite and lovely. We had Won...

My food was tasteless it was supposed to be chicken and pineapple usually that means it's yellow mine was not should have sent it back and too expensive

Excellent Chinese, been having takeaways for years.

Very expensive.. hardly any food... vile

Dined in - Really nice food, great portion sizes. The young lady serving was lovely, accomodating and really friendly. Would go back.

I had Birdsnest special foo young. It consisted of 3 prawns, I piece of chicken and five small pieces of beef. There were a few bean sprouts and onion. The remainder was egg. Very poor value and certainly not like a “normal” Foo Young. My...

Awful... tasteless. Hidden by over done chillies....

The clue is in the name !!!! Awful.... All our dishes tasted the same the chicken was hard. Seemed like it was from the day before. Will never return..

Best Chinese in tavistock. Online ordering and payment makes it the easy choice

Brilliant tasty fresh food delivered within good time.

Certainly can't complain. All tasted gorgeous. All plates were empty! All dishes were superb. Will certainly return. Thank you all at The Birds Nest.

Ordered a takeaway to be delivered for 7.30pm. restaurant assured us several times that they would ring us if there was a problem. This never happened and after we made four calls because it had not arrived by 8pm it eventually arrived at 9.45pm, The...

Nice food but very expensive. all covid measures followed very well

The online ordering service is good easy to use. The food has been good from there. Can't fault the place.

Disappointing takeaway as expected better having previously eaten in restaurant where we really enjoyed our meal. Chicken noodle soup incredibly salty. Crispy chilli beef not crispy or nice tasting. Vermicelli bland. Spring rolls flat and virtually empty and the sweet and sour prawn Hong Kong...

Sorry to say unfortunately not up to expected standard, crispy beef chewy, chicken balls oily, fortunately son seemed to like his noodles (just aswell as it was his birthday!!)

Unfortunately got wrong dish, ordered king prawn special rice and got chicken instead. Staff seemed too busy and unable to cope with demand.

We visited for dinner following a local recommendation. The restaurant has lots of seating upstairs so we had a whole section to ourselfves. Our waitless Holly was fantastic and very helpful. They do give you general portion sizes so you're best to visit when hungry,...
