The Dancing Taipan Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Visited this evening with my husband daughter and grandaughter, the food was beautiful, piping hot and plentiful. We had the all you can eat which is really good value. The staff are really helpful and friendly. My husband Is from Cornwall and we have just moved back to the area and we will definitely be coming back ! I had read some previous reviews saying decor is dated and they only like local people.... utter rubbish ! The decor is typical for a Chinese restaurant , lovely and clean and the staff are fabulous, husband has a local accent but I certainly don't and everyone was welcomed. Please give them a visit if your in the area you won't be disappointed!

Came early evening today for the all you can eat menu with my husband daughter and grandaughter. Absolutely beautiful food, lovely friendly staff . The food was all piping hot and tasty. Having just moved to the area ( husband is Cornish) it will be the first of many visits I'm sure. Reading previous reviews saying they only like locals... what a load of rubbish ! Welcoming to everyone! Highly recommended a visit if your in the area!

We had the all you can eat menu.The food was lovely, very good value. The staff were great and it was a fun atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS CAN'T DEAL WITH ALLERGIES . Having told them that I am anaphylactic to mushrooms, I expected my food to arrive with no mushrooms.... NOPE I HAD LOADS OF MUSHROOMS and their menu doesn't say anything about them. When I called up to complain the lass said oh sorry I didn't hear.

I don't understand the bad reviews on here. I've lived in wadebridge for 20+ years. Never had a bad meal at the tai pan, either in the restaurant or as a takeaway. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Our last night in Cornwall we wanted a take away. We called ahead to order, making sure to repeat the order & asked them to confirm. It was an 8 mile round trip to collect, no delivery, so we made sure to check. Upon returning to our hotel we discovered that my order contained meat, I don't eat meat! Very disappointing given we'd checked 3 times & what we got was terrible, oily & badly cooked. Don't go there.

We visited this restaurant for the "all you can eat buffet", which is only available on particular nights. It is a good deal but we found that the starters were much better quality than the main meals we selected. The staff were very good.

Sign on door..New years eve. Open till 10pm Nope went at.9.30 pm CLOSED. Need to state times correctly!! Sad now!!

Absolutely shocking service! Ordered by telephone and they told me to come in 40 minutes. Drove there and took them 45 minutes from my arrival to get my food. No apology. DO NOT BOTHER!!!!!

Wow! Blown away by fabulous tasty food, perfectly prepared, hot and fresh. The staff were helpful and attentive. Very nice surroundings. Will definitely be going again. Only negative point would be that it's rather draughty when the door to the stairs down into the street is open. Also people were smoking outside and it was unpleasant that the smell was drifting up into the restaurant

Decided to try this restaurant as our initial choice closed at 2100hrs. We were seated by the waitress who was lovely (forgotten both the girls names but they were charming!). The restaurant was very quiet given it was the 2nd week in August although the waitress remarked that the takeaway side of the business was very busy. We opted for the all you can eat buffet. All I will say is that it’s decent value if you have a healthy appetite. The portion sizes are small but as the name implies you can order as many as you want. The quality of the food wasn’t great, just average. You can’t go back to starters after you start mains which was a shame as I wanted one of the starter dishes to compliment a main dish that I ordered. The food was all cooked well and was served hot, it was all just a bit of the same. I’ve given it 3 stars but two of those are for the friendly staff. Wouldn’t return.

Called in here Bank Holiday Sunday, they were very busy but they managed to fit us in. The young male waiter was very friendly and explained to us how busy they were. We had the all you can eat buffet and he guided us through so we got all our dishes just at the right time. All the staff were friendly and all were working together extremely well. Food was tasty and yes some portions were small but this was explained by the young man and as I say he guided us through the menu and how much of each dish we should order. A very enjoyable meal and thank you to everyone for your great service.

Non locals not welcome. All you can eat is a waste of £23.90. Micro portions 4 ribs which looked like the size of toes. Salt n pepper prawns ...4 prawns on a dish. DRY FOOD THE DUCK LOOKED MUMMIFIED and the creepy male waiter told us we had to wait a hour for 2 extra dishes we ordered after ordering our main meal of coarse this was our fault. Poor all round and reading previous reviews the creepy male waiter is not a asset to this establishment. I review food this by far the worst 2 hours I've ever been unfortunate to spend in a restaurant I WAS PAYING FOR !

Went for a meal and had the all you can eat menu. Tried several dishes all were cooked to perfection. The staff were fantastic but the evening was made by Amy whose customer service, fun stories and ability to make us feel so welcome capped the evening for us. Back to the food. As mentioned above it was of the highest quality, every dish was packed with flavour, there was absolutely nothing that could be faulted. If you are in Wadebridge, make sure you visit you won’t be disappointed.

We had a really lovely evening on Saturday. Aimee - the only waitress in as it was so quiet, was the perfect host. From checking to see if we wanted the air con off or on to engaging the children with a Harry Potter quiz she could not have been more attentive. The food was absolutely beautiful, one of the best Chinese restaurants around. Well worth a visit!!

Great food, best Chinese I’ve tasted Staff were brilliant especially Tom. We willl be back when visiting Cornwall again. Thank you.

Found this little gem whilst looking for somewhere to eat after a busy day,accommodated us even though they were very busy. Fantastic food and great friendly service,definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever visited.

Hot and tasty food, quickly made. Lovely lady serving :) really loved the duck pancakes.....thanks so much we will be back

Having read some of the reviews, I was a little wary, however our experience was a good one. We went on a Sunday evening and had the all you can eat buffet. The menu was split into starters, intermediates and mains. You ordered as much as you liked from each section, of note once you've moved from starters to intermediates (duck pancakes etc) you can order more starters. So best to order from each section at a time and have as much as you want before moving on. The waitress was very helpful, one of our party was a vegetarian and wanted a vegetable curry but it wasn't on the menu but the waitress arranged it for her. The food was really good and we were all full. For £15.95 a head it was great value, would definitely recommend this place.

Visited whilst on holiday... Excellent food, fast sevice and lovely cheerful staff. Brilliant value for money, would highly recommend

Visited with family and friends on a Thursday evening. and the food and service was excellent. The restaurant was fairly quiet so the atmosphere was a bit subdued but it meant we were served quickly and very well looked after by our waitress (Christina I think). My brother is full of banter and cheek and had great fun with our waitress who gave back as good as she got and threatened to put him on the naughty step!!! This made the evening great fun. Excellent choice of starters and mains and food was of high quality and good value. My only disappointment was that there was no zero alcohol beer or cider.

Just had an excellent meal in the Dancing Taipan in wadebridge Cornwall. Great variety of dishes. Excellent service. Buffet 4 nights a week. Amazing value for money.

The food was amazing & the waitress couldn’t have been any nicer. Will definitely visit again next time we’re down that way.

The restaurant had a nice feel to it and i have to say our waitress (signed bill as TJ) was exceptional. Our waitress was friendly, efficient and attentive. The food was mediocre at best and was like reheated / cooked Costco frozen food. The food all needed cooking for longer (it wasn’t raw just not the right texture). Weirdly we were told we could not have prawn crackers because of sharing (we are one family/ household) but we could and did order a starter platter to share!? A lot of The food tasted microwaved rather than being cooked in a wok. The crispy duck wasn’t crispy, the egg fried rice had no egg in and was stuck together like microwave rice. The chicken chow mein was more like chicken in sauce with some noodles in (no onion or beansprouts and far too wet). All the dishes had lots / disproportionate amounts of bamboo shoots and water chestnuts in. It wasn’t awful and i can imagine it would seem acceptable on an all you can eat buffet night but as a standard meal it wasn’t worth what we paid. I personally wouldn’t return.

we usually go on a Sunday night when it is all you can eat, it is excellent value for money and you can order from the menu. they are quite judgey and won't allow you to have too much food, but they do explain that it is because they don't want too much wastage . Is quite annoying after a while though. place is usually pretty busy, but also a little dated

Enjoyed our meal and would recommend had the buffet meal so as much as you can try for a set price especially if you are unsure about what to try

One of the worst takeaway meals I had , cold ,bland ,undercooked horrid , thankgod for the other Chinese takeaway

The buffet night is not tired pots of 'serve youself'. You order what you want from the menu. The restaurant was packed and by her own admission they were short staffed but the two staff were exceptional and efficient. The food was fresh cooked and excellent. We ordered just enough despite ecouragement to order more and had a great meal.

Only been to the restaurant twice, and unfortunately both times a complete disaster. 1st time we visited the kitchen closed early without warning and we had to, at a very last resort, leave without paying for our food. This time we booked a large booking of 20+ people. It was absolutely clear that the serving staff had no management at all. The food took too long to come to the table, the plates weren’t removed and we had to place them to one side as each meal came out. Way over priced for the service, the length of time you had to wait and the portion size. You couldn’t keep ordering due to the time in-between courses as they wouldn’t allow it. I went to the toilet to overhear other customers moaning about the delay in service. We won’t be returning at all. We should have followed out gut instinct on the return visit and gone to a restaurant we knew would deliver. It’s a shame but it wasn’t a shock to be honest.

My Mum took my boyfriend and I here for a meal as a treat. It has an unusual entrance through a passage with Chinese lanterns above then you approach a water fountain. The restaurant is upstairs and, although some may think it is dated, we found it cosy and authentic. The waiter was so helpful and told us about the different dishes and what nights they had specials on. He was very attentive and we wish we took his name so we could give him the praise he deserved.We had starters then main courses. All of which was tasty and plentiful - lovely flavours.We would definitely come back. Thank you.

We are here this evening and the meal we had was incredible. Not only the portions being perfect size for the all you can eat allowing you to taste and test as many dishes as you like, the staff were friendly, polite and we were served with a smile throughout our time in the restaurant. The hand written bills allowed us to know our servers names (Carla, Claire & Teega) who done an absolutely amazing job serving us and ensuring our evening for our anniversary was perfect. Will 100% visit again and recommend

Had a takeaway here many times however the past few times it hasn't been too good. Got a takeaway tonight and it was disgusting! Got the chicken balls and we bit into one and the smell that came out of it was horrendous! The taste was completely gone off rotten meat, spat it straight out an it put me off the rest of the food, which wasn't very nice anyway! Will never be eating here again!! Truly awful!!

We arrived at about 1910 on Friday evening, we stood waiting for about 10 minutes were seated at our table by 1925. Wasn’t exceptionally busy, maybe 10 tables. We waited a while before ordering starters and drinks as my parents were undecided on mains. Our drinks arrived after 10 minutes(ish) but we waited until 8pm for our starters to arrive. We then didn’t have our plates cleared for 20 minutes after finishing, took our mains order. We then sat waiting (none of the front of house staff even acknowledged us) until 2150 when our mains arrived. I understand that the food needs to be cooked fresh and there is a takeaway but we waited over an hour for our mains. There were by this point only 4 other tables (they’d turned away several tables). So we ate and left as soon as we’d finished. Portions were also tiny- quite literally a handful of noodles. Staff were having fun talking to an off duty member of staff who was dining as opposed to attending to other tables. We paid the full price despite the absolutely terrible service, and tiny portions. Will not be using this place again, and I don’t recommend.

We are locals and have used this restaurant scores of times over 20+ years - no more. Our most recent experience was woeful. Poor service including being asked after an hour if we had ordered - we had. Food coming at different times (10 minute delay between arrival of noodles and the main), drinks order wrong and one course missed - we were there for nearly three hours for two courses. Sadly we will never go back. So sad.

In Cornwall on holiday and fancied a Chinese takeaway. Wouldn’t bother with this place again; best part of an hour wait for stingy portions and bland / tasteless food. Never again

I came here with my family for a takeaway and ordered lots of food, when we opened the bag we realised the mistake we had made, chicken balls smelt like cow pat, chips where cold and rice was bone dry

I came in here today and ordered loads of food. Ran home so excited to eat. I opened my bag of chicken balls and had a whiff of cow poo!! Alongside that, everything I put in my mouth was disgusting.. do not visit here, appalling!

We were on holiday in the area for a week and fancied a chinese takeaway. We ordered a wide variety of dishes and all of them were super tasty and delicious. I would definately recommend anyone to give this place a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Had a pleasant meal here - food was of good standard I just think a little bit of money could be spent on redecorating as it looks very tired and dated inside.

So nice to find an all you can eat where the food is cooked fresh to order and not sitting in those awful buffet style hot plate containers. Portions can be small but you can re order so it's not an issue, the quality and flavours of the food were fantastic! Noodles are amazing! Top tip, I'd recommend going as a party of 4 or more to benefit from trying a few of the dishes, it's tempting to keep ordering starters they are so good but resist and try several of the main courses. You won't be disappointed.

We found this restaurant by chance while on holiday last week and glad we did. Food was well cooked and fresh. Service was good and as a bonus we got 30% off.

Used the restaurant for a takeaway. Very pokey room and up quite a steep staircase. Food was small portions and okay but not the best.

We enjoyed a meal last night at the Dancing Taipan. The restaurant was clean and the service extremely quick. The food was excellent and hot. The choice of dishes on the menu was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful.. The eat all you want night (Wednesday) was very good value at £17.95. We have eaten there a few times and will most certainly be going back.

I cannot remember the last time I sat in a place this awful...there were cleaning materials and a vacuum cleaner at the next table. It felt like a reality TV show set in your worst nightmare. The food was below average and the decor was reminiscent of The Royals meets The antiques Roadshow.Maybe we are spoiled by having great Chinese cuisine in our area ....but this wasn't it.

We enjoyed a very nice meal at The Dancing Taipan this evening. Friendly service and delicious food. The only slight issue was that our pancakes that are served with crispy duck we tough, perhaps they had been steamed for a bit too long. Otherwise a nice meal.

I have eaten here a few times and have had some take-aways also, but will not be eating from here again. Everything tastes the same. A real shame.

Just had a takeaway... don’t have them often but so disappointed... what a total waste of money! Dried up, heated up spare ribs and satay chicken... main dishes tasteless and bland, partner said they taste of washing up liquid! Never again! Yuck! Most of it went in bin!

All you can eat nights are good value for money, family friendly and excellent value. Car parking just over the road. Steep staircase to restaurant but well worth the climb!

Second time we’ve been to the Tai Pan and again we had a wonderful meal. Excellent food and staff who couldn’t do enough fir you. Would def recommend visiting this restaurant.

There is nothing good to say about our experience of this takeaway. The beef with ginger and spring onion had very little beef and absolutely no spring onion. The fried rice was cold and clumpy and the Chinese curries were tasteless and lumpy. This place is a disgrace to the name of Chinese takeaways.

we have eaten here ,lots of times ,always found the staff friendly ,helpful ,and polite , i can not say i have tried all there food ,but i can recommend the sweet and sour chicken , the other dished are just as good ,that we have tried , i can not say about the takeaway , but its worth eating in ,as the prices are not over the top like some, and it dose save all the washing up at home ,and then go to the cinema , next door ,

After trying all takeaways in area come to the conclusion M&S; Chinese range best bet both Chinese takeaways in Wadebridge very poor quality

Food not to standard Chinese coking, no spring onions or garlic with the chicken Should call this meal boiled chicken The Prawn crackers provided fix were stale, soft and oily Rather utilise the other Chinese take away

We came on holiday to Cornwall and got a takeaway one night. They forgot one part of our order which we weren’t happy about and then when we opened the duck (for pancakes) it was full of tiny bones. The portions are small but at least it was cheap. Definitely not the highlight of our holiday

Party of six, three of whom are vegetarians, found plenty to chose from on the menu. Service was attentive, atmosphere relaxed, wine list well chosen. Dispite the langoustines which gave little meat and thinness of dipping sauce we were delighted because all the flavours were spot on. We will be there again very soon.

Visited with family and we were all very impressed with the quality of food , and agreed it was one of the best Cantonese meals we had experienced . The staff were very friendly and helpful .

We visited The Dancing Taipan Restaurant yesterday evening whilst visiting family in Cornwall. My Grandad and step Grandma had previously had very good experiences in the past and wanted us to give the food ago also!

Visited this restaurant for the first time. The food was okish but nothing special.

Don’t know what’s changed here but all the meals were lacking in sauce spice and taste we choose the ones on menu with hot chilli signs be them but not a chilli in sight one meal was like chicken in water all ended up in bin it’s back to the other Chinese in wadebridge now

We ate here this evening - big mistake. The service was awful as was the food Probably the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever been to.

We wanted to go for a Chinese meal upon reading the reviews were a little unsure whether to go or not, but we booked a table and had a very good evening the staff were excellent could not have been more helpful, and the food was very very good, after reading some of the other reviews I wondered if we had walked into a different restaurant, But everyone has there experiences and opinions, would we go back Most definitely.

We visited on a Wednesday to try the "all you can eat" service. Never been before so didn't know what to expect, especially given the rather strange entrance arrangements, however, I have to say without exception this was one of the best evenings out for a long time.

Visited the dancing taipan for a birthday celebration ( Saturday in the high season is menu only, not all you can eat)

Best Chinese we have had! We had the buffet on Saturday night and the menu was incredible... everything from duck to monkfish to mussels. Please ignore the last few reviews!! It is amazing... I had my dad down for the weekend and nearly cancelled due to these reviews but it was amazing!

Was excited to go out, got there and greeted by a young girl who chucked us menu's and took drink orders. No complementary prawn crackers, no ambience or music or candles, plastic plates, table cloths, etc, freezing cold,, food tasteless, like wzrm

Came here on the off chance, The waitress sat us down immediately, and was very efficient. Our meals were served really quick and tasted good! As we finished our meal before 7:30 we got 30% of our bill , which is a bonus. The service was excellent!

Just got a takeaway and it was the blandest food I've eaten in a while. The egg fried rice wasn't even fried, it was boiled rice with some egg in. This restaurant should be avoided by anyone with taste buds. Never coming back.

This was definitely the worst Chinese takeaway meal I have ever had, we had six different dishes and they all tasted the same bland and indistinguishable.The egg fried rice was more like boiled.

Arrived around 7pm on Sat 30th Dec.First impressions were as we walked in not the best due to the grubby red carpet leading up to restaurant. However on entering the restaurant the atmosphere improved, a few tables occupied with families and couples were at restaurant...

We made a large order to collect. Food was all hot and delicious and we had the right items. Good portion sizes. Unfortunately don’t deliver otherwise would have been 5*.

All be aware!!! if you attend this all you can eat restaurant you are now charged for height rather than age! I always understood that a child is not classed as an adult until the age of 16! Well the tiapan NOW charged your child...

Luckily most times we have Chinese it is nice but there has been times where it hasn’t been so good The all you can eat is a good deal though

I knew I should have gone elsewhere when I saw the paper tablecloths but I stayed because the trip advisor reviews were good ... school boy error. It was a quite Thursday night with only 1 table occupied but it took over 5 minutes to...

As a last minute decision hubby and I decided to ring and book a table, good job we rang as...

I was quite disappointed with the quality of the food, a cold starter of strips chilled chicken and satey sauce dribbled over the top. The deep fried prawn toast was fine.

I've been worried that ethnic food in Cornwall needs elevating.

had the early dining offer which is very good, the food was served quickly and was very good tasty and hot ,the waiter who served us was particularly helpful very nice place

Arriving in Wadebridge late didn't leave many options. This is a friendly take and the food is OK. It's from the big spring roll, sweet and sour perk balls variety of take always. Nothing wrong with it, just an average take away and not expensive.

Came here for take away after going to cinema close by. Salt n pepper squid, crispy beef, prawn balls, chicken rice, plain noodles and pancake roll. £24.50 average prices for take away I think. Everything lovely apart from personally I didn't like the coating of the pancake roll. It was more like a thick batter than crispy pancakes. That's just the way they do them so I'm not going to underscore for it.Would I go again ? Yes but probably into their restaurant to try that out next time.

Popped in here for a meal, not being local it was a chance visit. There was a large party of people who were local family and friends. A part from this we and others that we chatted with were on holidays. The staff were very pleasant, they did their job well and when I saw them interacting with some local older folk, there was a friendliness and pleasant level of familiarity. The prices of the food were a little more expensive than I would expect, but that said they do an early price with 30% off before 7.30pm finish. I would be happy to eat here again. Food was not overly oily, it meat served was cooked to the right level maintaining a nice succulent and meatiness.

We decided very late to book a table for the Sunday evening buffet special. We originally booked for 3, but 4 of us went. They were able to accommodate this, even though they were busy. The menu had a set price and you could order as much as you wanted from the menu. Everything was then cooked freshly for you. Much better than the all you can eat buffet restuarants. The portions are smaller, but that gives you the chance to try lots of dishes. We left very fat and full and had a superb evening.

We are currently on holiday in Cornwall and after a long day trip we decided to go for a Chinese on route back to our accommodation it was the worse dining experience to date!

This is a regular haunt for me and various friends. We choose the all you can eat buffet evenings where you get a great choice of starters , intermediates and main courses. They are all superb. The starters are soups, butterfly prawns, ribs, chicken satay and pancake rolls. Don, t be tempted to eat too much as this is followed by duck and pancakes or lamb or pork. Then you get the main courses of various rice, noodles and great items as you would in a normal restaurant, too manyto list. Staff are like old friends. Need to book or youmay be disappointed. Upstairs only so not for those who cannot climb stairs.

We visit a lot and love the food. Being a chef makes the experience even better, I love the Salt and pepper squid and starters are fab go on all you can eat night and order as you go, I normally have more starters. Linda and myself will miss you all.

We are on holiday in wadebridge and asked for a recommendation for Chinese food and was told about this place I phoned the order through and went to pick it up my order was ready and waiting the food was hot and tasty not greasy and we really enjoyed it best chinese we've had for a long time

Looked after by friendly staff, but to be honest the food was nothing special and tasted as if it had been heated up in a micro wave from a ready meal. Reasonable price for what we had.

Over priced small portions, not great tasting food, service was slowWouldn't recommend visiting in a hurry

We initially wanted to avail ourselves of the 30% off food between 1800-1930hrs, in the restaurant, and having arrived at 1910hrs, we were told that we had to vacate the table by 1930 hrs in order to qualify. What a daft offer !!! especially as there was only one other customer in the place, so we opted for a take away and were asked to go next door for this facility. We did so and were met by a lady who did little for customer relations as her attitude was cool to say the least. She told us that our food would not be ready until 1950 hrs as they were really busy so we placed our order and went for a walk to kill the 40 mins we had to wait. We collected our order and drove back to our rental and dished up. The salt & pepper squid was disgusting. Huge pieces of squid with a flour like coating and no hint of salt or pepper. The crispy shredded beef was overcooked and the prawns in chilli sauce had a distinct lack of chilli. To top it off, our large portion of rice was only 3/4 filled in its container. Taipan have really cornered the market as it is the only Chinese take away for a 10 mile radius from Port Isaac. However, if they keep serving substandard food, they won't be in business for very long.

Honestly not too fussy but had to throw away at risk of food poisoning everything was ice cold , stale , can't believe the lack of love , not sure how many days old the food was totally disgusting!!!

this restaurant offers the very best in Tai food at very realistic prices. Lovely owners,chef and staff. an absolute delight to eat in this restaurant.

We have tried many Chinese restaurants and I have to say this is the worse to date.. The portion sizes should be reported to trading standards.. The curry portions were 2 tablespoons, and only filled a third of the container, and we asked for large. The overall portion sizes were very small and for £17.00 we managed to make one plateful of food.! The pancake roll was tiny and had no flavour.The curry was also as runny as water.! The manager was completely unhelpful when we called to say that this was unacceptable, he simply said that is this was their standard size and tough, which is a real insult as we drove a round trip of 22 miles to try them.. Be warned as this take-away ruined our Sunday Chinese evening.!

We visited on one of the all you can eat evenings. There was a great atmosphere and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Food-wise, this is definitely one of the better all you can eat venues we've experienced, and ordering from a menu ensures the food is hot and fresh. Compared to other similar nights; the main menu is possibly a bit more restrictive, but after starters and duck courses, it didn't matter much to us!

Valentine's night at the Dancing Taipan was a first for us. We had decided to give it a try after our local take-away was closed for Chinese New Year holidays. We were met by some smiling waitresses and shown to our secluded table and immediately given a free glass of Prosseco. We ordered extra drinks which arrived almost instantly. The restaurant was nicely lit and the ambiance was warm and comfortable. The food arrived!!.....we were slightly bemused by the amount proffered. Ribs, King Prawns, Satay skewered chicken and more, this was followed by Duck, Chilli Beef, Cantonese Beef, Sweet and Sour chicken, Egg fried rice etc. Dessert was from the menu and I had the Longboat (Banana Split) and my wife had Honeycomb ice-cream (3 scoops. To say we were sated was an understatement! We coud hardly move! To round off the evening my wife was presented with a red rose!! It was fabulous, and all this for £23 each. A bunch of flowers at Tesco was £30! We will definitely be using the Taipan again and would recommend it to anyone. A fantastic evening with fantastic food and warm, attentive staff. Excellent!

Second time at this restaurant and again the food has been lovely and delicious and the staff couldn't be more helpful and the price is fair. You won't leave hungry or disappointed. . Plenty of room a family meal or just a nice place for a date night.

This was not the worst Chinese takeaway I've had but it was certainly not the best either. The egg fried rice was quite bland and one of the portions was quite cold compared to the other, the salt and pepper squid was way under seasoned and the batter soggy. The other dishes we had however were very nice, especially the lemon chicken and the Peking style sweet and sour chicken. Overall,not bad but room for improvement.

The food here iks so good and so plentiful. I cannot overate this place. It is as intimate as you wish, the st af are wonderful and one of the owners is so good anbd he works tirelessly for various charities, his name in English is Peter, I do not know his Chinese name. Make it a "Must Eat Place" when you visit Wadebridge.

Found this little place from a recommendation in the cottage we were staying in. All you can eat for a great price. If you are going on a Friday or Saturday it is best to book in advance. Waitress service was good with recommendations and they did not hassle you to finish by a set time. We came away totally full of some really good food. Would highly recommend.

Visited with six friends for a birthday meal on a Sunday. We tried the "Eat as much as you like" menu and were not disappointed. Lovely food at a very fair price served by friendly and efficient staff. A bargain.

What a lovely evening. Decided we wanted Chinese they managed to make a table for 8 with out booking the staff were amazing especially with the kids! Food tasted fresh was very good could taste the different ingredients. Very fairly priced. Would highly recommend!!

on certain days they have a deal that you can eat as much as you like,you can't go wrong with this.You can actually try all food they have.There is no limits and its all a la carte.Food is warm, fresh and staff is really friendly.I will definitely go back.
