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

Take out. Not magnificent. Very disapointed. Friendly front of house, let down majestically by the food

Great food, great people. They went out of their way to help me when I didn’t have cash. Wish there was more people like this in the world.

The Takeaways are really good. Personally, Beef Curry Jia Wang style is awesome. The food is freshest compared to others.

Shame as the food is nice , but lately their prices have shot up but their food portions have shrunk . Got very little for my £24.50 .

I have been going here for the past 4 years and never had a problem. However this evening we treated the family but the food was awful, cold, tasteless and not very good at all. The salt and pepper chips had no flavour the chips were really undercooked, the food tasted washy. Phoned to explain I wasn’t happy and would like a refund to be told no! Well you have now lost my custom

We traveled down from Leicester had a horrendous journey looked forward to a Chinese . Very no very disappointed spent £70 on different dishes only to find the best thing was the prawn crackers. No taste must have run out of spices as no taste in any dish .

Really disappointed. Ordered this evening and ordered for 7 people and we've ended up leaving most of it. The black bean had no taste to it and the ribs were really tough. Very very disappointed

Jia Wang are only a couple of minutes walk from where I live, which in itself is a bonus, but add to that great tasting food! I’ve had a few takeaways from here, and they were all really good and tasty Highly recommended!

One of the best Chinese anywhere. Been coming to Torquay for donkeys years. For the past 2-3 I have eaten the best Chinese takeaway anywhere at Jai Wang. Don’t let any churlish B put you off - go there and enjoy.

Have tried many Chinese/Cantonese takeaways in the area and this one is our favourite by a mile. We've never had anything but hot, super-tasty food and polite, efficient service. They do get busy and you might wait a while, but that's because they're good. The menu is vast, crispy duck and pancakes superb, and a big shout out for the bifeng tang dishes which are divine (amazing flavours, if you haven't tried this, DO!) Can be relied upon for great food even when placing a large order for guests. A real treat.

Very good Chinese with friendly and quite quick service. My only complaint is that I found some of the food was under seasoned but a tiny bit of salt and pepper can easily fix that.

Friendly service , didn't have to wait to long , ordered duck dish excellent. Mixed battered balls average. Salt and pepper chicken wings starter not bad. Bbq sauce not very good, as take aways go not the best but definitely not the worst.

We've been using the Jia Wang for a couple of years,and it has become a firm favourite for a takeaway. The food arrives promptly in ample portions and is always well cooked and clean. It is also true to it's style which is good to have in this era of Asian fusion cooking so prevalent.

Recently moved to Torquay, and this was our first Chinese takeaway which we asked to be delivered. Food arrived well within the time given for a Saturday evening, was hot, good value and plenty of it. Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls and Mini Spring Rolls were great no grease at all. Prawn Crackers nice and crispy. Can't understand all the negative reviews.. unless we got them on a good day?!?! But we will definitely be using them again.

I live 2 minutes from Jai Wang and tonight, I thought I’d treat myself to a payday takeaway. I had salt and pepper chicken wings. They were tasty but there was three times the amount of batter compared to the wing itself then I had special fried rice. It was the worst I’d ever had. Dry and tasteless. I literally put half a bottle of soy sauce on it to try and liven it up but it was awful. Personally, I won’t be going there again. I was silly, I should have taken it back but had binned it before I thought to do so :-(

Having phoned around other Chinese restaurants in town to organise a take away banquet for 18, the guys at Jia Wang rose to the challenge without blinking and delivered a well cooked selection of dishes, on time, with a smile. Everyone at the party commented on how good the food was so congratulations guys. You’re now our goto Chinese takeaway in Torquay!

We were told our food would take 45-1 hour to be delivered, but it only took 20 mins which was good! However, the egg fried rice looked & tasted like boiled rice, very bland! We ordered salt & pepper chips which tasted like plain chips & we ordered bbq sauce with our chicken balls & was given sweet & sour, although I told the person on the phone bbq sauce over 3 times. And lastly, the man that answered the phone had very poor customer service, he went off the phone & had a conversation with someone else without telling us & he was not bothered that we were not happy with our food. We will not be returning!!

Ordered 5 meals and was told to come back after 30 mins. We returned after 35 mins and waited another 30 for the food! Ridiculous. They clearly hasn’t put the order through and thought we might not come back for it?! Will definately not be returning.

Went in to order 5 meals and extras. Told to return 30 minutes which we did. Then sat waiting for another 28 mins before the food was ready. They clearly hadn’t put he order through, maybe hoped to pocket the cash if we didn’t return........don’t worry, we will not be returning.

We decided to try Jia"s Wang ( No pun intended) and found the food to be of a good quality, We had special fried rice and there was plenty of Pork and Chicken and we did ask that we didn't get any prawns and the order was spot on. This restaurant also takes card which is handy to note and they seem to close on a Monday which is handy as our usual shuts on a Tuesday so now we have a plan B if we want a Chinese on a Tuesday evening

First time here. Proper Chinese food. The food is tasty with big portion which is quite good valued. I particularly like the salt and pepper chicken and the beef chow mein, which was not oily. I found out from the owner that is family run business.

We moved To Torquay 2 weeks ago, and after a busy day working on our house decided to have a Chinese takeaway. We had seen the Jia Wang and decided to go there. As strict pescatarians, we agreed we would never have meat in our new home. I ordered the king prawn chow mein, and Mark ordered the king prawn curry. When I got home, I tipped the food onto a plate, and took a mouthful. To my horror, my chow mein contained chicken instead of prawns.

While on the family holiday we decided we fancied a take away, after looking on trip advisor I was sceptical as only 1 review, the food was lovely & a very clean establishment, I would recommend Jia Wang to anyone as a fantastic meal👌🏼

Ordered a meal for delivery, quoted 90 minutes which seemed like a long time. 2 hours and 20 minutes later when we chased it up they hadn't even started cooking it yet. Needless to say I didn't want my tea at 9:45 pm so we cancelled; we didn't even get so much as an apology.

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.
