China Garden in East Devon

We visited China garden last night as a family we quite enjoyed the food it was a bit slow in arriving as a whole order it was coming to the table at separate times and food was going a little cold.but the real bug bear last night was that they charge 3.10 for a can of orange tango that's shocking price!!! 10 pounds for chicken fried rice plate wasn't very big I understand they have over heads but the pricing is a little high for how small and let's say dated restraint. Staff was quite friendly

My Wife and I visited and both had the set 3 course meal at £20 and a bottle of beer at £3.50. The meal was quite good as was the service but not the payment, my Wife went to pay the bill was asked for £47.50 as expected. She used her card for the payment and left a tip in cash and by pure luck asked for a receipt. On leaving the Restaurant she noticed she had been charged £54.60. We queried the bill only to be told we didn’t have to pay the service charge and we got a refund. What annoyed me was she asked for the lesser amount and never mentioned the service charge, sneeky.

Delicious food and attentive service. Thanks.

Pleasant enough food. Fast service, dishes appearing before previous course finishes. I found the menu card confusing but found a better option from the main menu. Quiet, although a Sunday.

Food was great service was excellent. The exterior is very deceiving as when you get in it is really good well worth a visit

China Garden, what a disappointment, average food, poor service, but a 10% service charge of which we weren't told of, definitely won't be going back again.

Best Chinese food in Exmouth, or even Devon!! I've been a customer for 30 years, and have used it at least twice a month in that time. And it's consistently good. Never a bad meal. Thanks China Garden. I would like to suggest a locals loyalty card, though!

Now our favourite take away. We like to eat there as well and the food is consistent in-house and as a take away which is not always the case with all restaurants. A+

Disappointed - expensive had better

We used to come here 20 years ago when we lived in Exmouth, and it's not changed- still the BEST Chinese around! Delicious food and brilliant friendly staff.

Great food as always will always use the takeaway.

delivery and food was good but ordering was confusing about time and date

the food was amazing. thankyou.

Amazing so good this Chinese food highly recommend it is sooo delicious cooked to perfection and the flavours are Devine thank you always order from her love the food it’s amazing also just eat is always quick and efficient and friendly so thanks again big thumbs up

Generous portions and delicious. I really enjoyed it and I'll be ordering again.

Food was disgusting I couldn’t even finish it all. I ordered salt and chilli fried chicken and the chicken was so soggy. Only took two bites. Waste of money.

Great taste. Delivered on time. Nice and hot and drink delivered in separate bag to ensure temperature of both meal and drink ok.

I'm not sure how the worst Chinese restaurant in Exmouth became the only one left. My wife has a soft spot for George and his work ethic, sadly in recent months it feels like others are pulling the strings prices have increased but the quality of the ingredients and how It's cooked have taken a dive. After nearly 30 years of loyalty the greedy surcharge left a bitter taste in what was a poor over priced meal sadly It's unlikely we will return. It will be a shame if this restaurant closes like the others, but if you try to fleece your regulars you get what you deserve.

Top quality again. Never disappoints

It was late but only because there were very buissy tonight. But the delivery woman was friendly and delivered with a smile, so I have no issues at all with the quality of the food or the delivery

The food was not hot and just overly warm

The best Chinese restaurant in Exmouth food never fails to amaze me great staff lovely family and must go to You will not go anywhere else after eating here

Came here while staying at the haven site , from the outside it doesn’t look much , which may put some people off going in , But rest assured the food was delicious, Never tasted a crispy duck like it , not greasy and it was already all shredded for us . We had the set meal and there was plenty of it , The waitress an English girl was lovely and seemed to be doing all the waiting on herself & taking orders , but it was quiet the mid week we went , It seems to be popular with the regulars as there was plenty of take aways going out , if your in exmouth give it a try you shouldn’t be dissapointed,

Great service and lovely customer service at the front desk.

Although the order was later than planned, it was well worth the wait. Food amazing as always

Great food but one meal diff to what I requested

Late, food wasn't hot huge soggy chips no egg in the egg fried rice chicken chow mein ok ish! The only thing that was enjoyable was the spring roll never ever will I go to China garden again I don't know how they are getting away with what they charge its rank

Food was delivered to the wrong address as included in someone else’s order and they kindly then drove it to us but by the time we got it it was barely warm

delivery time expected 20.10 - 20.30, writing this review still awaiting my food at 21.10. absolute joke, almost £40 order! 2nd order on the bounce it has been an hour late, won't be ordering again

Delivery got later and later with no updates from the restaurant.

Turned up late and it was cold, needed to re warm up. This was the worse chinese I’ve had. Never using them again. Not happy at at all.

Food wasn’t great, chips tasted reheated, BBQ sauce was runny and no prawn crackers even tho I sent over £30.. but was on time.

Food was delish, although 2 of the boxes were open and red sauce was pooling in the plastic bag - eek. No wonder the delivery person ran off quickly.

Food was really good.. I enjoyed it very much!

Excellent, mixed meat curry with some lemon chicken soooo good. The deep fried squid I didn’t think was amazing though so will leave that next time I order, lovely food.

Delivery was quick, the Salt & chilli chips were disappointing with not enough seasoning. Everything else was good

Everything was hot & flavoursome

Food lovely as usual but was 45 mins early and family weren’t here

wrong thing delivered ,sent it back never got a refund !!!

Lovely staff and really welcoming atmosphere! Came for a quick dinner today and the food was delicious! Will definitely be going back :)

Very good food and I have to say the delivery girl who delivered tonight was absolutely stunning

Quite brilliant….keep it up with the tofu

Delicious and hot food Polite and friendly delivery driver

Went out family meal, got refused to be served as I had an assistant dog. They embarrassed me and my family saying they didn't want people like that eating there as it would scare off other customers. I rely on my dog for essential everyday needs, she is fully trained and extremely well behaved. I feel totally discriminated against.

Food always good. Only got kids chips instead of kids salt and chilli chips. Which was disappointing

order taken incorrectly, food was cold, owner / chef said he reheated the rice. 🫣Staff turned very abusive and intimidating when we questioned quality. Front of house said we were not welcome back. Shame, as we have been regulars when on our holidays

Good food ,not much atmosphere,check bill for added device charge.£17 for 4 adults and 2 children under 6

placed the order two hours ago and received in two hours and 30 minutes

Great timing, and lovely lady who delivered, but asked for cash by the delivery driver when they arrived (which I paid online already) and then realised after she had gone I had got red, not white, wine!!! I hope for a refund as I’ve effectively paid twice and also didn’t get what I had ordered.

didn't arrive . said was delivered but nothing . called 3 times to get told its with driver .After 2 hours gave up

Lovely food/friendly staff. Went tonight and staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate us as we hadn’t booked. Really enjoyed our food. We ordered salt and pepper chicken, crispy wontons for starters, then Szechuan sauce chicken and special house curry for mains, with special house rice and noodles! Food was great and staff were very friendly! Would highly recommend!

Honestly, the food was outstanding! I ordered a set meal for 2. The amount of beef in the beef and black bean was fantastic and no chewy bits. The salt and pepper chips are by far the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to order again. Delivery was on time too.

Pre-ordered 6 hours in advance. Food was 40 minutes late, no apology from the driver and the worst part was that it was ALL stone cold. By the time we reheated everything in the microwave the crispy beef was anything BUT crispy. Very poor.

Ordered and paid for 2 bottles of white wine but received just one.

Lovely food, great flavours. Always yummy!

40 minutes after estimated delivery time and food was quite lukewarm. Not up to the standard of previous deliveries.

Table for two, menu was confusing as we had looked at the takeaway menu. Starters okay, main meal was not served together, mine was tepid, had to wait for my rice, my husband and I were sharing the rice dish. Husband had to go up and ask for his meal. Poor service. I was disappointed.

Really good food however the kung po chicken

We ate here recently with a few friends. Good menu and food was really tasty. The employees were really nice and very attentive. Would recommend.

Always service with a smile. Great food and price. Always happy to help if you have a dietary requirement or ask for something to change in your meal ... like leaving out onions or spicing it up a bit etc.

wow the best in such a long time.Hot and so tasty.Well done.👏

probably my worst I've had, pork ribs soaking in grease, chicken only just cooked no flavour

Food is aways good service is super friendly this is lovely

Our favourite Chinese in Exmouth. Always so tasty. 😋

Took nearly two hours for our order to be delivered

Food was good but cold and our order arrived 45 minutes late.

Last time ordering here, Ordered sweet and sour pork cantonese style (was not cantonese) which was full of odd bits of batter just a couple of big pieces of pork the sauce was tasteless (but dog enjoyed it) also ordered a black pepper oyster sauce dish (tasted like gravy).

We had a weekend away in Exmouth and really fancied a Chinese. Couldn’t have chosen better for the quality of the food, well cooked and well presented. The restaurant was a bit basic but this was more than made up for by the friendly staff and the extensive menu. We had the set menu for 2 people which was delicious but we couldn’t finish it all as the portions are very generous!

The egg fried rice was very overcooked and brown coloured( not brown rice) The chicken balls were not crisp, they were soggy. The orange chicken was mushy and in edible

Very tasty food, piping hot, plentiful and delivered right on time. Highly recommend these guys.

Good food, staff very friendly. Quick service.

The only problem was I didn't receive the kids chicken balls and chips costing £6.10 instead recieved samosas?? I think they're called

Food was very late and very mediocre

Excellent delivery and great meal 👍🏻

Food was tasty but the ribs were very small and getting less meat on them but price going up. Will stop buying them now. But over all the rest of the food was really nice.

Delicious food delivered bang on time.

Great food with tasty vegan option.

Good meal for 4 adults - tastey & hot - yes it was late however no problem

The restaurant staff and front of house were welcoming and helpful. The food was ok we ate from the set menu which felt quite expensive but probably average for a Chinese eating in. The quality of the food was quite good and good portion size with some diversity in the menu. Lost a star for not having my favourite dishes 😅 . The restaurant is small and does feel somewhat cramped. If all the tables are full it is quite loud with people talking and waitresses calling to each other. That is the reason for the atmosphere score. Drinks are extremely expensive -again potentially not more expensive than other restaurants but seemed dear to me.

Very late, waiting almost 2 hours, and sub-standard quality on all food, particularly the shredded beef - was simply disgusting!

Food was cold and waited over an hour

The curry had leaked in the bag so it was abit messy. I had put no onions in the curry but onions were there. The sweet &sour chicken didn't seem cooked completely but I ate some. Normally no probs but this time just didn't get there this time

Well cooked great tasting food.

A good hangout place in Exmouth to have Chinese food. They've a huge variety in their menu and the prices are reasonable. High seat chairs for kids and good portion amount. Loved their service and a 5 🌟 for it!

Pre-ordered at 4:30pm for delivery, estimated delivery time 5:40pm, arrived at 7:10pm, phoned twice told on way, arrived tepid. Me personally will not be ordering from here again!

Food pretty good waitress very pleasant

The food was hot,and delicious.10/10

Not upto its usual standards and arrived late but it was hot

Food ordered 6:30pm Arrived 8:20pm Food was nice though

Nice venue, well cooked, good value, friendly staff. Little bit of a misunderstanding as to whether rice was included ( still not sure) but otherwise all good

We are missing some food! It was also delivered to the wrong place

Lovely food and hot on arrival

Sweet n Sour was super sweet! Too much!

Disappointed I didn't get any prawn crackers even though I spent over £29

It was our first time trying China Garden in Exmouth and I must say it was fabulous,honestly very tasty food, the waitress was extremely welcoming,the speed of the food was a little slow ( I think it was a very busy Friday lunchtime for them ) but you could see how hard the waitress was working and always with a brilliant attitude, nothing was to much trouble for her and when the food came, honestly I have eaten Chinese literally all around the world, this was right up there, possibly even the best, extremely tasty, loads of quality ingredients, we paid £10 for a two course lunch, seriously unbelievable value for what they give you. What we found was very unexpected, a real gem of a restaurant, I had read the reviews which are good but I didn't expect such quality , especially for a relatively cheep lunchtime menu of only £10 for two courses. Thank you China Garden, we will be back again and again:)

Perfect . On time . Hot ànd tasty .

Absolutely appalling service blamed on weather conditions, which in our area are currently incredibly calm. We waited an hour and half for our delivery only to find the wrong order had been put through. When I called to complain I was faced with a female at the other end of the line shouting and screaming at me. I have lived in Exmouth all my life and I WILL not be using China Garden in the future. Shocking service and shocking customer service. Absolutely disgusting.

Original delivery time was 1900-1920, then updated to 1950 after it was out for delivery. Order was late, but delivery driver was lovely and polite. Food top notch.

Our second visit now and all we can say is wow. Our waitress was ubove and beyond so friendly and welcoming. Honestly 10 _ 10 for food Fantastic Would 100% recommend 👍👍👍👍👍👍
