Millenium House Chinese Takeaway in North Devon

Down here on holiday and thought we would have a Chinese on our last day, the food was bland, the pancake rolls were dry and deep fried never had that before, the curry was so spicy that was the only thing that had taste

Service was great and that was the only good bit. Food was terrible unless you like pepper as that is all you can taste Food was soooo dry and portion was small as the tubs were only half full A total waste of money would not recommend you go here a bargain Chinese from Tesco would be much better

Amazing and consistently good food!!! Friendly service and food is always lovely and hot upon collection. Best in the area by far!

Quite simple the worst chinese ever. Mostly ended up in the bin. Crusty bread and nice cheese a far better option.

Chinese was absolutely gorgeous after a long day in the sun! Was 10 minutes from our caravan. Only takes cash so make sure you bring some. There is a cash point up the road.

Best Chinese in Town, always cooked to perfection every time. Good value for money, portion size perfect

After reading the recent reviews we were a little dubious......but we ordered the set menu for 2 , Singapore chicken and prawn and a chop suey and really enjoyed the food it was ready on time all there, hot and tasty . Would recommend

Disappointing takeaway. Ribs were tough and prawn toast had little taste. The duck pancakes were ok, but came with raw white onion and huge slices of cucumber- no finesse there.

The worst Chinese we have EVER witnessed. Truly disgusting. The ‘sweet & sour’ sauce was watery and tasted of dishwater. Overcooked tinned ham or spam in the special chop suey. It was all so repugnant that we felt ill. The rice was the least bad dish and that was barely passable.

i had this food as an Saturday night takeaway and i ordered “honey chicken” i was really looking forward to it but when it came it tasted like a gone off Terrys chocolate orange. i know it sounds silly but it is not a joke 😂 It clearly had orange flavouring in it or something because i did definitely not order “honey chicken”!!!

We had a takeaway from here whilst camping and were impressed with the food. The chicken was nice, proper pieces of chicken breast and the meals were hot & tasty. No complaints at all.

Ordered vegetable rice, king prawns HK style, chips, beef Cantonese style. Rice had no taste at all, so bland and only veg in it was bean sprouts! The beef Cantonese was sent wrong and actually sent as beef with ginger & spring onion which was dry as a bone massive chunks of ginger & completely inedible. Chips ok but dry. Only item that was nice was king prawns and only other positive was our order was ready on time. So disappointing.

As a lover of Chinese food, I can say this was not great. We spend over £70 and wish I’d just gone to Tesco’s and bought something else. Meat was very dry and chewy, sauce was more of a thick goo dumped on to of dishes, rice was dry and prawn crackers soft and stale. All in all very tasteless !!! Then to top it off today (day after) three people spending day sat on toilet (don’t need to describe further), and another up all night being sick. Not great !!!

On Tuesday 25th May, we popped in to Ilfracombe as we fancied a takeaway, as we wanted to pop down to the harbour, I asked for a menu so we could decide what we wanted. We popped back about a hour later and the owner told me it would be 10 minutes for the set meal for 3. We got back to the caravan and really enjoyed our meal, it was well worth the money and would come back here again

Me mum and dad went to the millennium house Chinese in Ilfracombe dad ordered set meal for 3 and I had sweet and sour chicken we got back to the caravan in wollacombe Park and we looked at meal and it was delicious we will go there again

We are on holiday from Nottingham, wanted a take away, to be honest after reading reviews we were apprehensive and the place doesn’t look the most upmarket; however the Duck and pancakes was fab with the best Hoi sin sauce we have had, the chow Mein excellent and the Kung Po prawns huge and crispy. All in all at £21 what more could you ask for, fantastic, thank you.

The best Chinese food I have and will ever taste always efficient friendly and prices are amazing especially for the quality!!! 100% recommend

Ordered soup, chicken curry and egg fried rice, 10 mile round trip, got home and discovered I had a chicken omelette not a chicken curry, rang up and asked the guy on the counter to read my order back to me, he confirmed I had ordered a curry, owner said he would swap it if I did another 10 mile round trip, asked if they would send in a taxi and they refused. I have used this take away almost weekly for the last 20+ years, because of his lack of customer service I will be taking my business elsewhere and will never step foot inside the place again. He has lost a regular customer but didn’t seem to care.

This was the most tasteless, bland, boring, insipid Chinese we have ever tasted. Nothing more to say apart from try a different one!

Ordered for takeaway. Surprised this was still cash only in the current times. The meat was dry. The noodles and chow mein was flavourless. The prawn crackers were soft and stale. Will avoid next time!

Spent over £50 on takeaway last night - most of it went in bin. It was tasteless and over cooked. I had King prawn with cashew nuts - the prawns were tough, dry and tasteless , the cashews overcooked , the whole meal lacked that familiar Chinese taste . certainly wont be going there again.

Used this place for a takeaway meal after being refused an order from another local Chinese restaurant when I mentioned my peanut allergy. Went back again in the week and had the same excellent service. Recommended.

As a frequent consumer of chinese take away this is without question the worst food I have sampled. Prawn toast with pranws and burnt. Egg fried rice - not freshly cooked, one possoble piece of egg. Hot & Sour soup out of a tin - liquid MSG. Sweet & Sour chicken balls: the chicken was edible but the sauce is simply orange MSG, nor pineapple, no pepper. Adding insult to injury, the prices are crazily high even if the food could be edible. Even the prawn crackers were the cheapest, most brittle bag of fat flavoured crumbs.

Very quick and friendly service!!! Food was very good on the whole - as a vegetarian I felt well-catered for (I had the beancurd with veg and sate sauce). Although I couldn’t try the meat dishes, everyone I was with agreed the food was good! Although it wasn’t the best Chinese I’ve ever had, it was still a lovely holiday treat!

Excellent service, lovely meal. All fresh, tasty and succulent. Reccomended by our holiday cottage host and we were not disappointed. 😊

Delicious takeaway! Was very easy to place our order over the phone, we only had to wait 15 mins to collect and the portions were huge! Food was very tasty, would recommend.

Food not bad but its pricey and certainly not the best Chinese I have been to. I think the menu us too extensive and they should concentrate on less options

After Reading the reviews on the Chinese takeaway in Ilfracombe we decided to try Millennium House , Really Really glad we did , had a chicken Foo Young ( Absolutely packed with Chicken) also the Chicken Curry ( also Packed with Chicken) the chips where really good as well along with the Egg Fried Rice Absolutely lovely , I my opinion and this is my opinion probably the best Chinese meal I have ever had , please don’t drop your standards as this is proper good food and at a really good price

Really delicious food, not greasy nor stodgy. £38 fed 6 ravenous humans. The Singaporean rice was cooked fresh and the prawn curry was amazing. Great value for money!

Ordered tonight 14/8 and the food was ready in 10 mins, we fed a family of four for £27 and had quite a bit left, food was cooked well, prawn balls are huge, I would def go back if I’m back in the area, would of give it 5 stars but can’t park near it which I know isn’t the fault of the owners but it would be a nightmare if it was raining.

Millenium House has been our go-to Chinese takeaway for quite a while now. The food has improved dramatically over the years, unsure why, but it has resulted in my tucking into a box of hot and spicy ribs at least once a week. Menu is fairly standard and packed full of choice. Like most who frequent such an establishment I have my favourites and seldom venture into the more exotic parts of the menu. That said, if you have a simple palette and stick to the classics you aren't going to be disappointed. The takeaway itself is unapologetically 'high street' but t's not like you have to eat off the floor. The 'cash only' requirement is positively neanderthal but locals are always prepared. I can echo the sentiments of other reviewers who have experienced missing items in large orders; it happens a little too frequently and can be tricky to resolve. Overall, a reliable little establishment with decent food... relax if it's not perfect, I don't think it's meant to be.

Been here many times ..Came for a takeaway Hot spicy extra beef chow meinLarge pancake rollRoast Duck & pineappleHainan small ribsExcellent fresh to order food Fare pricing ..hot delicious food Very attentive .polite staffPopular with locals & visiting touristsIn the high street in the flat Always a pleasure when in Ilfracombe to use this Chinese takeaway...

We were staying in Woolacombe and our dinner plans got cancelled, we opted for a Chinese as their was a group of us. The order was placed at the takeaway and we waited a while but was worth it.The food was piping hot and the duck was crispy and plentiful for us to share.The prawn crackers were tasty and the other mains we had were nice and generous amounts.Like most Chinese this was salty but not as bad as others I have been to.

Decided to have Chinese takeaway and had previously used the millennium before. Service was fast and pleasant. Cash only No cards excepted. We had the special curry, special fried rice and chips. Also had a free bag of prawn crackers All was good except the chips which I felt was slightly undercooked.

We have been here a few times. We are local to the area and we have taken our friends in their too and we all agreed that this is the best chinese we have all eaten. This wasn't greasy at all, really flavoursome and the service is fantastic!

Ordered a crispy duck which came with sliced cucumber and sliced onion (a regular onion not the usual spring onion accompaniment) and when we got home we realised the cucumber was mouldy. Called to tell them about this and didn't even get an apology. I quote what they said to us 'Oh right Ill tell the cook'. I paused on the line for a few moments to see if there was going to be an apology - but there wasn't. Shocking. Will avoid this place in the future...

Always have a tasty meal from here, the staff are friendly and the waiting times aren’t too long considering how popular it is.

This was their last chance for us. Repeatedly we have got home to find a dish missing and can’t usually be bothered to phone them. Tonight it was a main dish that was missing, and having spent over eighty pounds for a family celebration, I phoned to let them know. The response was dismissive-definitely not their fault, it wasn’t on the list. When we drove back to collect it I was met with attitude, and charged. Not our idea of customer service. We’ll be finding a different takeaway from now on.

Fast friendly service, with a clean open kitchen. Young male who took my order was very friendly and chatty. Food was all hot apart from the chips but I did have to drive 4 mike to my holiday home so that’s prob why. Where I’m from salt and chilli chicken is called spicey hot peppery chicken which was delightful. Thanks millennium house.

This wasn't our first choice but the other Chinese takeaways in town are shut on a Tuesday so we decided that Millenium House was better than nothing and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was good and we all enjoyed our dishes. The prawn toasts were a little over cooked but apart from that all was good. The ordering was easy and we were told the price on ordering. 15 minutes and our take away was ready to pick up. They only take cash though, so make sure you have cash on you.

A few of us had a takeaway after day/night in ilfracombe and we all enjoyed it. Nice curry sauce and the man who served us was friendly while we waited. Would recommend

Description was chicken, pork fried rice with barbeque sauce. 3 pieces of sliced pork 4 slices of sliced chicken on a bed of dry rice. Very small amount of sauce drizzled over the meat. The meat tasted processed hardly any sauce that certainly was not barbeque. All in all tasteless and dry. Will stick with the other chinese in town. Other dishes may be good but this wasnt.

Had a takeout not long back from here, prawn crackers were stale and chewy. Sauce wasn't great in the meals we had and the meat was just in big slabs in the chow mein. Average price for a chinese but poor quality food.

It may be the only Chinese takeaway in Ilfracome but it could be that it has seen off the competition. However their prices are not exorbitant considering the lack of competition.

Cayó en Ilfracombe para la noche durante nuestra estancia exmoor. Probé este sobre la base de las valoraciones de Google! Tengo que decir que era bastante impresionado. El precio era bueno y la comida era deliciosa y no grasienta como muchos que he probado. La sopa estaba bastante especiado y pero a mí personalmente me gustó el resplandor que le daban. Sin duda recomiendo

This is our regular takeaway and never disappoints, their house special chow mien is recommended as is their special curry dish, best to phone ahead in plenty of time as they do get very busy especially at weekends

Quality food and reasonable rates... I have used this take away for years but there has been subtle changes to menu ... short waiting time but worth it as food was hot and tasty!!

Comimos aquí en muchas ocasiones y la comida es perfecto. Precio justo y nunca espera por el tiempo que dicen. Personal muy amable y el servicio. Gracias ☺

Nos impuso una orden de teléfono muy clara para 4 personas desde su menú. Después de conducir 10 km de ida y vuelta para recoger (no) descubrimos nuestra orden para 3 personas de los 4 era incorrecto. Inmediatamente llamé por teléfono y intentaron explicar el error de la chica en el mostrador (al frente de la casa), sólo para que le colgaron por ella 6 veces! Finalmente conseguí a través de utilizando un móvil diferente, sólo se reunió con un torrente de abuso, acusando a nosotros de hacer el error! Luego tuvimos que conducir de vuelta y hacer el mismo viaje de 10 millas, a recibir de nuevo el abuso de chica en el mostrador (joven, rubia, ponytail, MUY GROSERO!). Tuvimos que demanda para el director, como la chica del mostrador tenía una actitud mediocre y era un-cooperativo. Una orden aún estaba equivocado en el final y intentaron cobrarnos dos veces por parte de nuestra orden. No hay excusas, todos a la chica incompetente en el mostrador. Peor servicio al cliente que he tenido!

We visited this Chinese when on holiday at woolacome bay. The food was very tasty and fresh with good portion sizes which were not over priced. The staff were friendly toWould definitely recommend.

The curry had alot of salt and pepper in, which was not good. Chips were nice and thick, and had it not been for the fantastic pancake rolls I would have given this place a '3'!

Fresh, quality ingredients. Chicken is from the breast and vegetables are al dente. Recommend the duck. Only concern was the sauces were a little on the salty side.

Honestly as chinese food goes this is the worst I've eaten. The special chow mein was dry containing meat that I was probably best not knowing what it was!.. the rice was dry... The sweet and sour sauce was like something out of a packet mix.. on the plus the chicken balls and beef curry were okay but the rest put me off.. wouldn't bother next time!

First a word of warning, they don't take credit cards, just cash so come prepared!Staying in Woolacombe and no Chinese takeaway there, so had to travel to Ilfracoombe, the food was still really hot after a 15 minute drive so no complaints.Quality was good, nothing amazing so hence the average score. Food was cooked quickly whilst we waited.We would use again.

Had a large meal from here which was very poor.sweet and sour wass vinegary beef was like old rubber. £40 wasted . give it a miss

Great little takeaway, affordable and tasty food. Have used them a few times and have never been disappointed. Even now that I am not a resident in Ilfracombe I still come back for this Chinese takeaway!

We have never been let down by this Chinese! I love the fact you can see in to the kitchen whilst your food is being cooked is brilliant. The food is always well cooked and delicious. We always seem to choose the same dishes from their vast menu but are never disappointed with what we get and it is usually pretty quick. Looking forward already to my next craving for Chinese food!

We were struggling to find a Chinese open so was happy to find this on the high street. The kitchen is open so can see them cook, impressed that the prawn crackers were fried fresh. Enjoyed the meal, our favourite was the duck curry, half a duck, lovely and succulent. Big portions, no complaints.

Chinese and other Asian dishes available from this TAKEAWAY. Vey good varied menu and reasonably priced. The food was very tasty and looked clean and fresh. Enjoyed it all the dishes we ordered a lot. Only drawback was that we were staying 3 miles out of town and the taxi would have charged £10 for delivery. We collected it ourselves and it was well worth it. Ribs were very tender and slipped off the bone, the chicken pieces were succulent and tender. Shanghai chicken was delicious and spicy. Sweet and sour vegetables was very good. Recommended.

We love our chinese food and this takeaway has some interesting options from China, Malaysia & Thailand.Whilst my beef on the one dish was a little tough their sauces were delicious and in particular the Hainan Chicken (battered chicken in a tangy, slightly spicy curry sauce with pineapple)If you get a takeaway have the hainan chicken!!!

The worst Chinese Take Away meal I have ever had was today 20th August 2015. Dried up and crusty pork, very large chunks of dried chicken which they clearly couldn't be bothered to cut up, low quantity of meat in the containers, soft 'crackers', strange tasting curry sauce and surly staff on the counter. Try somewhere else if thinking of Chinese food in Ilfracombe.

Have struggled for a good Chinese and Indian, tried here once before a few years ago and it was ok, moved to the area so tried again.Spent £65 on quite a lot as friends over, they only take cash. half crispy duck and pancakes was pretty good, kung Po prawn excellent and chicken balls, lemon chicken and seaweed nice, some others were just Ok. Definitely had worse, slightly worrying that some of the items were being taken from a non refrigerated shelf in view near the till.Can't quite make my mind up if we will return

We reckon this is the nearest Chinese Take away to Parracombe which for those of you not familiare with the area is on the Barnstaple to Lynmouth Road.Back to the food, we purchased are takeaway and had a half an hour drive back to are holiday cottage, the food staid hot and was very good and fairly priced.Did not read any reviews and judging by the ones I have read, glad we did not, as the food was excellant, tasty and fairly priced.

After reading a really bad review we almost did not go to them, however decided to risk it when the bad review was from the previous year. Luckily the food was lovely, could not fault any of it that we ordered. I would happily use them again.

We almost avoided millenium after seeing some of the online reviews, but decided to go anyway and were very pleased with the food and service. Would definitely recommend.

Got into the take away aprox 1035 luckily in time for service as they close at 11. Being tourists we stumbled across this one. They don't accept card so we had to go out and find a cash machine, abit inconvienient as we didn't know where we were going. Once we had the food and got back to accommodation very little was eaten, duck curry's were not very flavoursome and all the special dishes the meat was really tough and dry particularly the pork, Prawns were rubbery and the chicken tasted like it was boiled and added last as it had no flavour of the rest if the dish. Would not revisit.

looking for a takeaway and glad we found this one.food was great very busy which is always a good sign.everything was cooked perfect,will visit again if in area.

fancied a Chinese takeaway, sent the wife came back with some sort of food in a bag, the dog was chuffed
