Hong Kong Diner in Torridge

The best Chinese takeaway in the whole of Devon! This is not a joke- the food is delicious and freshly made! We always treat ourselves to this Chinese as every other takeaway we had (we live in Barnstaple) just does not match their quality. 100% recommend!

Simply fresh great tasting , great value veggie food. Third year on holiday and can recommend their vegetarian options, still great value and wait time is always short.

Food isn't nothing special,small portion.Meat chopped(small pieces).Price ok but that's it.

We liked the food here, and the service was excellent by a young team. Overall, I recommend this place and would go again.

The food here is amazing and absolutely worth coming back too! It’s my first time down WWH area and i got recommended this chinese on fb and it’s delicious, the sweet and sour chicken was cooked perfectly and a reasonable price considering u get a tub of chicken and pot of sauce. I also had the Chicken Chow Mein which was so tasty and had a good amount of chicken unlike some with hardly any. Definitely come back here again and recommend!

Very tasty, good portions full of flavour. Highly recommend.

On holiday in Westward Ho decided on takeaway for our 1st nt, tried 2 order via phone but constantly engaged so went in, ordered a selection of dishes the wait time was really long so had 2 go back 2 collect food but it was worth the wait all the dishes were delicious sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style bbq pork with fried rice were amazing the noodles and salt n spice chips even prawn crackers all really good thoroughly enjoyed the food and was worth the long wait and recommend the food but ull need 2b patient

Food all AMAZING and worth the wait! On holiday in area and decided on takeaway for our 1st nt tried getting thru on phone but constantly engaged went in to order was over an hours wait on food however all of the food was delicious and def worth the wait couldn't fault any of it loved the Kong Kong sweet n sour chicken salt n spice chips bbq pork with egg fried rice and soft noodles all really tasty and good value 2 recommend the food but was long wait

What a great takeaway we had, crispy shredded beef, prawn balls & chow mein all delicious, definitely recommend, can’t wait to visit again when in area.

This was so much better than anything we have back home in the Midlands. Beautifully fresh, crispy items still crispy, rice perfect and mains of beef in black bean sauce were totally wonderful! Delivered very promptly as well to our caravan park. Too much really for us to eat, but we had a good go. Will definitely have again when we come back

The food here is so lovely. These people make the food to a very satisfying taste. Ordered a takeaway. We cleared all our plates as the sauce was so lovely. We live far away but if we do stay this way again we will be definetly coming back here again for some lovely tasty food. Family owned the family are so friendly. We were so impressed with everything. would recommend if people we know are staying here. Thank you so much. Crispy beef was so satisfying. As was chow mein, rice, cashew chicken, foo yung, veg in black bean sauce. Free prawn crackers are delightful too.

Lovely tasty takeaway, very enjoyable. Everything cooked well and prices very reasonable. Would definitely order again.

Fantastic food, can get really busy especially in summer.

Ordered a takeaway for 4 people to be delivered. Even though we were advised that delivery estimate was a little longer than would have liked, it arrived with a smile and earlier than advised thankfully, and all dishes were hot. Everybody in our party enjoyed their meal and said it was delicious, very good quality and generous portions. Thank you! You’ll be our first choice always.

Ordered early for a 9.15pm delivery, absolutely lovely, our go to Chinese when we are on holiday in Westward !Ho, on time, very hot and delicious

Fantastic chinese food for a very good price. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would happily return if we return to the area for a holiday.

Ordered Prawn chow mien but it was awful, tasteless , Prawns were too firm , I think they used instant noodles , no taste of sesame oil or even a Chinese cooking aroma ☹️ Egg fried rice was average, still bland Sweet sour chicken was good but too much batter Cheaper than our usual Chinese but they obviously skip on quality I’d rather pay more & get great food Unfortunately not for us Lady who served us was polite

Internet photo shows 5 star “scores on the doors” so telephone ordered some dishes. Turns out they are a poor 3 stars. False advertising. Chicken not only smelled of fish but tasted of fish. Cavalier attitude towards food safety & hygiene. Inside it looks like a doss house. More interested in negotiating a small refund than addressing fact that food was clearly off. Reported to environmental health. Fingers crossed it’s closed down before someone is killed. Environmental health visited in January when it was scored a 3. It was probably not open for the season. How you can manage a 3 when out of season is beyond belief. Chef doesn’t speak English so just kept repeating “food good” and waving a spatula around in a dismissive way. Poor poor poor service. Disgusting food and poor environmental health scores. Do your homework. Visit Torridge Council web page to see if they have upped their game before you chance their food. Chef should use his eyes and nose before cooking chicken.

Firstly, be warned - if you Google this establishment and see them advertising a 5 star food hygiene rating. Perhaps it was once upon a time, but it is currently rated as a 3 which is ‘generally satisfactory’. I think that’s being generous. I have holidayed in Westward Ho! for over 20 years and have never been tempted to try it, but after a challenging 7 hour drive we were ready to eat. Our party of 6 ordered a special fried rice, chow mein, chicken balls and sweet and sour chicken. Whilst the rice/noodle dishes were satisfactory, I am extremely concerned about the chicken dishes which were like slime and smelt of fish. Even more concerning, when calling the restaurant to let them know something was not right with the chicken and it tasted fishy, they assured me that they do not sell fish! As requested, we returned the food. A credit note was offered (as IF I would ever set foot in this place again!), eventually we were given a partial refund. We now have an anxious wait to see if any of us are sick. I am horrified that you think selling this slop is acceptable. If you’re holidaying in Westward Ho!, please do not spend your money here. For those leaving reviews that it’s the best Chinese you’ve ever had, I can only assume you’ve been paid to leave review. Absolutely disgusting.

The best Chinese we’ve ever had. Fresh and clean. No black burn bits. Just beautiful.

I had the Hong Kong style chicken it had a very strange texture very airy and there was very little sauce my husband had pork dish with a barbecue sauce this also had very little sauce. The egg fried rice was a good sized portion plenty for 2.

Food was lovely and fresh made to order. Unfortunately the staff on the main front need to be more welcoming. Both ladies were rude and made u feel unwelcome.

Really nice food was quite busy so went to the bar around the corner while waiting.

fast and good service, really nice staff 😁

We tried this place as it was recommended to us, but it was disappointing. There was insufficient sauce in the sweet and sour chicken and the chicken and beanshoots had some strange sauce on them. Maybe its because we are used to another local Chinese takeaway, but I wouldn't rush to go back here

Amazing, freshly cooked food. I had the vermicelli, sweet and sour pork Hong Kong style and salted and spiced chips. Highly recommend all of these dishes! Service was great, too, orders are allocated tome slots and food was ready at the time give .

Best Chinese takeaway in westward Ho! Even better than our local takeaway in the Midlands, friendly,quick and absolutely tasty 💯% recommend

Loads of lovely food and quick delivery

Friendly staff with quick delivery Lovely food all fresh cooked and good portion sizes !

Just had a delivery from Hong Kong diner absolutely fantastic delivered very quickly. Chicken balls special fried rice and chips

We absolutely love this takeaway and wonder why we can't get 'old school' Chinese like this at home. All the dishes you remember as a kid, delivered hot and at a great price.

Best spicey chips in the county!

Order over 1hr 30 min late and chow mein like processed noodles, generally a poor experience.

Had a very nice take away from here, food nice and hot, very friendly and quick service menu is vast something for everyone

Great Chinese takeaway, always treat ourselves when in Westward Ho. Can be busy at times so phone ahead of time.

Excellent service from taking the order to delivery. We are staying at a holiday cottage and it was delivered with no fuss and very hot!

Fast service and excellent quality

after a few miles of walking today, it was a nice change not to have to cook anything while staying at our apartment

Got takeaway with friends while we were staying in the area. Decent range of options for vegetarians, and prices were very reasonable. I got mushroom chow mein and a side of mixed vegetables and my food probably came to about £9 at most, and it was enough for two meals. Food was tasty and decent quality and was ready about 10 mins after ordering (for 3 people). Can't comment on quality of meat dishes, but my friends went back again in the week so presumably they were happy with it.

Fantastic food - great value for money - ready at the time we were given - will be back again!

Really nice takeaway, not greasy at all and the prawn crackers were amazing

Overall food was good, spoke to us in depth regarding gluten free options which is a bonus. We ate all food. Didnt like the curry sauce as was more sweet then spicy but thats just my opinion

Very nice Chinese food, little bit of a wait but was very much worth it

Worst Chinese takeaway i have ever had

All food was over cooked. The wontons were burnt, the chow mein soggy and bland! The rest of order was tasteless.

Beautiful meal and hot when arrived, and well cooked,also great selection of delicious Chinese food, and good value for ur money, staff very friendly and that Inc delivery staff too

Excellent food great value for money

We tried here for the first time instead of going into Bideford, the service and prices were very good and the food was OK. We had the set meal H for 3 people. Not sure what they put in it though because we were all so thirsty that night. It could not be a coincidence.

This is the only Chinese in Westward HO! It's not bad. No free prawn crackers which is disappointing. I've added an up to date full menu though 👍

Had a meal ordered for mother’s day. Food arrived within the hour, everything tasted fresh and had quality ingredients. The sweet and sour chicken balls were particularly delicious and the batter was crispy on all the orders not soggy or greasy.Generous portion sizes, reasonably priced. Delivery driver was lovely and a credit to you. I would really recommend it to anyone in the area.

Disappointed is a understatement. From the service to the food temperature to the quality of food. A lady who would rather look at her phone then serve in the resturant was the greeting received and when we got the food home (2 min drive away) it was luke warm. The portion sizes were a joke, such little food in each dish. And all dishes apart the seaweed were really bland and not very nice. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

The food here is great, good size portions and fast service. The staff were friendly too. Set meals are excellent value for money.

After reading the rave reviews we decided to order a takeaway. Unfortunately the food did not live up to our expectations. It was bland and decidedly average. Maybe the chef was having a bad day but we certainly could have done better saving our money and cooking a much nicer meal ourselves.

Very nice food. The prawn crackers taste a bit different to ones we've had before (but in a good way!). Quite large portions which is never a bad thing. Only thing to be aware of is on a Saturday we couldn't get a collection slot until 8.20 when we called at about 5.45, so if you're wanting to pickup at a more reasonable time, best of be on the phone when they open. Never had that before but must relate to how they're setup for cooking. Wasn't a problem though, as the food was very nice!

Ordered fried rice and mentioned twice no pork. And pork was there. Thought it duck and ate little bit then went back asked them said its pork. Extremely upset as 32 years of my life never ate pork.

Eaten a few times from hong kong dinner 2021 food excellent and staff very pleasant

Salt and special chips 👌🏻 You've all had salt and pepper and chips from the Chinese but these are on another level. £2.90 and you get a proper portion, that and a pot of curry sauce; sorted.

Good food, very good service Delivered to the door Delicious thank you

We were only in Westward Ho! For a long weekend but found this little takeaway to be fabulous.

I’m sorry, I have read the reviews and most of them appear to be good. We ordered our meal by phone and arrived there 5 minutes early. The food was warm at best, in over 60 years of eating chips, these were the worst ever. The rest of the food was mediocre. Sorry, but the meal was not up to our standards, and, it was expensive.

That was by far the best Chinese takeaway we’ve ever had. Can’t recommend it enough!! A must !!

What a fantastic meal. Everything was flavoursome and very well cooked. Seriously the best Chinese takeaway we have enjoyed! Thank you so much. We ordered for delivery and super friendly delivery too! Ace!

Had 2 takeaways this week for 5 people so tried a lot of different dishes. All very tasty and cooked well, will buy from here again

On holiday in Westward Ho and ordered takeaway from here, chicken in the sweet and sour we had wasnt good , very dry and didnt taste right at all.. also ordered satay which was ok. Very disappointing.

After missing evening serving times at local pubs, staff at The Waterfront recommended this place and allowed me to have my food delivered there to eat outside with my cider! Oh my goodness, this was simply the best sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style with egg fried rice I've eaten in forever, a whole coated breast sliced in sauce with a little pineapple and some veggies, so succulent and delicious flavour. Made my night (and I might've even considered eating the same again the next night!! Lol. Pig!)

Visiting westwood ho for a week ordered from here via delivery from restaurant and food was very very good didnt expect much but really good, would recommend!!

Had a takeaway from here Sunday evening. Staff were helpful, food was good, was ready in 15 mins and the chicken balls the best I've had. Thanks!

We tried this Chinese on our first night and I agree with Steve Bull's comments about it tasting more like an English person cooked it rather than a Chinese chef. It was the sweet and sour sauce that tasted different like something was missing ,and the egg fried rice had only a small amount of egg ( and no peas ,! It didn't say it had peas to be honest) But The prices are very good as were the chips,lovely and dry not greasy,and the chow mein noodles where nice but different,

OK but very middle of the road with taste. Nothing like a normal one, almost like it was cooked by a English person.

Had a takeaway, staff were very pleasant and friendly, the food was excellent . Will definitely visit again.

Really friendly staff. Food tasted amazing. 5 stars all the way

Great food, all very distinct and delicious flavours. Lemon chicken & beef with ginger & spring onions were FAB

Excellent food & service, good portions.

Ordered delivery over the phone, no problems. The young lady on the phone was friendly & knowledgeable.The food arrived promptly, it was hot, well presented and absolutely delicious. We had Lemon Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls, Crispy Beef, BBQ Sauce & Egg Fried Rice. Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

We loved all the food it was excellent, they just forgot part of our order, unfortunately our favourite, but we enjoyed everything else

I placed my order at opening time and the food was delivered in about 20 minutes. Tasted good, I will use this takeaway again.

Attempted to ring and pre-order food for the following day was told we are not allowed to do that -?surprising as we were trying to order 15 main courses plus rises - Staff not flexible or helpful in any way. Went to Mr Ho in Bideford instead no problem!

Gorgeous food at very reasonable prices! We go every holiday at Westward Ho! Never let us down for a lovely takeaway! Highly recommended!!

Great little place, good selection. Food tasted great and was ready in next to no time. A perfect little takeaway.

We had a takeaway from here and although we only had three dishes (crispy duck, seaweed and prawn crackers) they were all delicious and we will definitely be using Hing Kong Diner again.

Great food and great service.......ordered over the phone 4 meals, given delivery time....spot on that time food arrived, all 4 meals as asked for and hot too and very tasty. Got to be the best Chinese food we have had for a very long time

Lovely take away from here, whilst on holiday. Portions were good size and ingredients was good quality. Food was very hot and delicious

fantastic food at good price. had takeaway tonight delivery was very quick. best curry I have had in a while

Thankyou,we had a very good takaway and went to restaurant this evening had excellent meal, staff very friendly also felt covid safe,we will return.

Lovely food and friendly service

Hong Kong Diner is OK, with nothing special but decent portion size and food generally decent, except the chow mien which had thick old noodles, more like heavy spaghetti. Good service though and quick delivery.

Just writing this review is making my mouth water.Me and my Husband have always wanted to try here since the reopening from CV19, we are so glad we did, just wish we had done before.The food is the best I have ever eaten from a chinese, portions are plentiful and soooooo tasty, we now make it a weekly thing and cant wait until we have another take away thank you so much. amazing food, great price! will be recommending you!

Visiting area and asked if I could book a table and according to the venue they declined my request due to Covid and needing a days notice as a result. I was not aware covid pandemic caused a days notice for reservations, only venue to have this rule however within the UK.

Tasted good but within hours was sweating getting dizzy with stomach cramps and diarrhoea lasting for at present time lasting 4 days it is the first holiday me and my girlfriend are on together and I am spending most of it on the toilet. Have spoken to loads of locals and they have said that they never use this restaurant they use one in bidiford. When we were waiting for our food my girlfriend also pointed out to me that there were loads of flies and spiders in the window ( should have been a sighn)

This was our last meal whilst visiting Westward Ho! Sadly it was the worst. We decided to get a takeaway from here and we all agreed it could have been better. The chicken chow mein was bland and dry. The salt and pepper chicken was well fried. The duck was good. I felt it a little overpriced too with spending over £50 and just being offered free prawn crackers. Also no meals qualified for free sides due to not ordering any curries. Not the worst Chinese but have had a lot of extremely good competitive ones to compare too.

1st nt in westward ho decided 2 try Hong Kong kitchen prompt service all food amazing crispy shredded beef lemon chicken bbq ribs all excellent nice rice&noodles massive bag lovely free prawn crackers 2 highly recommended if in area

Me and my other half came to Devon for a weekend trip and really fancied a Chinese so we tried here. It was the best Chinese we have eaten! Everything we ordered was so fresh and tasty if we didn’t live 4 hours away this would be our go to Chinese takeaway! Lovely staff would definitely recommend. Thankyou :)

Best Chinese for a long time and great prices cheers

OMG best Chinese food I have tasted in many years if not the best. Hot & fresh, waited about an hour, it was a Friday night, but definitely worth the wait. Crispy beef, wow

Great Chinese take away situated on Nelson Road, turn right at the junction with Golf Links Road - really efficient - excellent choice and taste - highly recommended. Simply book over the phone and collect - large portions - excellent value.

Hong Kong Diner was the best Chinese we've ever had! Our order was wrong when it arrived but it was sorted very efficiently and we got delivered the right dishes very quickly and some fortune cookies. The staff were very accommodating. The food we had though was absolutely brilliant and very good value for money. We would highly recommend going there while in Westward Ho!

Although polite and service and nice food we were given the wrong dish and had to return to pick the correct one up

We had HKD rice, king prawns with green peppers in a black bean sauce, and duck with pineapple, all of which were excellent.

Lovely place , friendly staff and tasty food

Very average food and quite random opening times - they don't stick to advertised times especially in spring or autumn. Fell foul of it on several occasions.
