First time going here tonight and got home the food was delicious and tasty the only downside was cash only and no card payments but there is a cooperative down the road. Appearance inside could do with an update but for the food and prices we will definitely be using this Chinese.

The worst takeaway Chinese ever. Tastless cheap mush. Make sure you have plenty of room in your waste disposal bin if you get a takeaway from here. Better still. Avoid this place

Totally rubish, Tasteless, poorly cooked, not a Chinese flavour in anything, cheap sauces, oil obviously needs changing and chicken balls were so overcooked they were rock hard, spring rolls cheap and empty, all round totally disappointed, only edible thing was boiled rice, never again

Would give a 0 star absolutely awful food since consuming the food I have been feeling sick will never be coming back and definitely wouldn’t reccomend to anyone. THE WORST CHINESE IN THE BAY

Don’t normally order here but my usual Is closed so thought I’d give it a go. They got my takeaway order wrong and some of it was greasy and the fat needs changing! They don’t take cards - it’s cash only - not a major upset but getting the order wrong and serving food that’s greasy as a result of unchanged fat is not good. It takes a lot for me to bother to write a review but I feel compelled here.

This was closest takeaway to our holiday accommodation and we tried them 1st night and was very impressed with quality of food and price so we went back again. The only downside for me being high risk of Covid was staff were not wearing facemasks, but they did have high screens in place to mitigate risk. Cash only, with cash machine just down the road at CO-OP if needed.

I ordered a meal after receiving a menu through the letter box. Big mistake! I arrived and waited 5 mins for the meal to be brought out, when I went to pay by credit card told “sorry we only take cash” After a short drive home the spare ribs were warm rather than hot, the prawn crackers tasted greasy with a strange after taste. The beef in the “beef with bamboo shoot and water chestnuts” was bland, lacking in taste and needed to be re heated. The “ house special fried rice” was anything but special. This meal was probably the worst I’ve ever tasted and would definitely advise this is one to Avoid!

I really have to be pushed to give only one star but I’m afraid this Chinese deserves it. I don’t usually eat from here. My usual two are closed so I thought I’ll give this one a try. There are others open but we settled on this place. The food is terrible. It was congealed which makes me think it’s very old food. I know they put food in the fridge and reuse it which isn’t a bad thing, beats loads of waste but the food we ordered was not good at all. We will not be eating from there again

Order arrived 15mins before time stated which was great but food lacked any flavour. Mixed meat chow main beef was chewy and chicken and pork could not be called that as no flavour. Pancake rolls are just large spring rolls and chicken balls are watery chicken in batter. The cash only thing was strange but fully understood now as no receipt or way of proving what bought. Will not use again

This has to be one of the worse Chinese takeaways I have had, and I have had my fair share! We chose 5 different meals and all, without exception were extremely disappointing. Non of the meals had green vegetables, peppers etc you would expect in a Chinese meal. One dish had a couple of pieces of carrot, another had approx a dozen peas and the egg fried rice was lacking egg! It was hard to distinguish the difference in flavours between the different dishes, and they all shared a common theme; salty. Would defiantly not recommended this takeaway and wish we had purchased a couple of the selection boxes from the supermarket which would have been 10 time better than the muck we were presented with.

This is my local place to eat. Very well prices always hot and quick. They could do with increasing their flavours in the food because I have a pallet that needs more stimulation. Having said that I do regularly (weekly) order here.

We've been visiting the Dragon King for several years now & have always been impressed by the quality. Unfortunately, over the last few months, the chicken has become very chewy & tough to eat. Please go back to the way it was before!!

I have only had curries from Dragon King so I cannot review any other dish of theirs.Their curry is very weak and seems to be diluted down with water and cornflour to thicken it. It actually made me feel sick. It barely tasted of curry. The staff are friendly enough and very polite. I am sorry to say that we will NEVER be using this take away again ~ not even to try other dishes as it could end up as another waste of money. (To the owners. Have a taste of other curries from other take away's and compare yours.)

Only down in Torquay for a few days visiting family. Coming from the West Midlands it is difficult getting a good Chinese as the take away’s are generally Asian (not that this is an issue)

Really happy with our food this evening - came and collected and was ready quickly. We moved to Chelston last year and went to Shun Da and the food was rubbish - haven't had a Chinese since last September because of it - but so glad we tried out Dragon King tonight, couldn't recommend enough, food was really tasty!

This takeaway is near my house. We have had good and bad food there. Tonight was poor! I ordered 1/2 hour ahead. It was produced as soon as I arrived. I will not be using them again the meal was terrible. It lacked flavour, i suspect it was cooked as soon as I ordered and kept for my arrival. The front of house consist of youngsters who appear from under the counter. They are very busy with their technology! Customer service is not high on their agenda.

Having lived in Auckland where over 30% of the population is Asian we are used to good Chinese food. I have found however that back here in the UK it is often bland and much the same where ever you go. This Take Away is the exception. Food is full of flavour despite the usually very long menu! Currently living in Chelston, Torquay, so this will a regular for us!

We have been a few times and the food is always tasty and hot. This takeaway does not take card but their is cash machine at co op . Would recommend giving it a try as staff are always pleasant and food is nice and tasty. It is tucked away on Walnut road but generally plenty of parking and it's on the left half way up Walnut road

Don’t let any negative reviews sway or influence your decision to go to or use Alan’s restaurant and takeaway. The food is excellent. If you have lived in average market towns in central England over the last 25 year or so years and tried to find a good Chinese takeaway you will know exactly what I am talking about. We ordered a range of dishes and they were fresh, light, well cooked, with lovely flavours. You would have to go a long way to find better.

Best Chinese Takeaway in the Bay 🥡🥢 Over the years I have tried almost all of the Chinese takeaways in Torquay and Torbay, and I can confirm that having discovered Jia Wang 12 months ago, I have finally found a fantastic Chinese takeaway in the area that I can call my undisputed favourite! 🤩 🍚 Food is always cooked fresh and comes packed full of flavour! Portions are always packed to the brim. They do all of the classic takeaway dishes to perfection, not too greasy or saucy, ribs falling off the bone, salt and pepper chips packed full of flavour and offer a wide variety of Chinese inspired dishes. We always find that this particular Chinese has never left us feeling bloated or greasy, something I cannot say for other Chinese takeaways in the area. 🏝️ The service over the counter is always super friendly and speedy! The shop itself is always clean, and in the summer there is even an offer for 10% off when paying with cash. 💸 Will definitely be our go to Chinese for a long time to come! 🌟 Recommendations: Any of their Chow Mein dishes ( Best in the area BY FAR!!!!), House special fried rice/curry, Szechuan Chicken, Salt and Pepper chips / Chicken 🥡🥢 ⛔️ Drawbacks: Only recently began offering online delivery 🚚 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 / 5 Stars
