(This review is for the Taipan takeaway on the first floor above the restaurant). Some of the WORST Chinese food I've ever tasted - clearly their microwave does all the heavy lifting ! To be this bad is quite an achievement as I travel widely and have been eating Chinese food all over Asia for the past two and a half decades.

The Eat all you can on Weds nights is outstanding, I had 11 starters, 2 x intermediate courses and a main all for £23.99. Fantastic value, and every dish is fresh cooked and delicious 👍👍

First time visiting , we had the summer feast for two. The food was stunning , came very hot and tasted amazing. Must say a big plus for Amy the waitress, she never stopped, polite, friendly, hard working and nothing was too much trouble . Greeted with a friendly smile . We definitely be going back and will take family when they come to visit

Fantastic meal went for the Summer Banquet, four starters and then Duck pancakes and then three main meals one which was Cantonese Beef with Special Fried Rice. The service was faultless and if you are finished by 19:30 you get 30% of your meal price. They now have a Special Offer of all you can eat for £26:99 and it's advisable to book because it gets very busy. Very well priced and the service was faultless very well recommended ❤❤❤❤

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 !

I went to the Dancing Taipan to pick up a takeaway. Food is always great... Try the Malaysia chicken. Not shown on the menu, its normally served in the restaurant but if you ask, they will make it for you to takeaway. We have eaten in the restaurant also, but not for a while. Quick service, pleasant staff, a little pricier than some, but worth it for the quality food. Would recommend!

My first visit here, just for a takeaway. Lovely people, good value and the food was excellent. But, not so good for vegetarians. Yes there were vegetarian options, but nothing to chew on. Most Chinese restaurants and takeaways offer a bean curd vegetarian option and I was surprised that this place didn't.

After travelling up and down the country, as food reviewers, we found this little place, we wanted to try everything on the menu, we ordered with the young female waitress, excellent service from her although the male waiter was quite rude. We went on the Sunday as it was (ALL YOU CAN EAT) we tried to order mains to be too be told sorry it’s too much food he said that’s five dishes and there was 4 of us! We enjoyed it up until that moment. Sorry dancing taipan but that male waiter just ruins the business. All you can eat but get questioned on why we want 5 dishes. It’s not even like we left food, as we ate it all. Just ruined the whole experience, my partner was made to feel embarrassed.he then brought out 3 dishes and didn’t even bring out my prawn dish that I asked for 3 times avoid this place as it clearly isn’t an all you can eat. More like we will serve you what we think is an appropriate amount !!

Service was excellent, though soft drink provision could be improved with a drinks fridge and individual cans/bottles. Flat, room temperature coke from a previously opened 2L bottle (around the start of dinner service) was but the best start. Cold bottle of Tsingtao was a great improvement, though.

Went here with my wife for a nice meal and heard good things about the 'All You Can Eat', however, the vegetarian options are extremely limited and we were left feeling ripped off after we basically paid £21 for 3 lettuce leaves and a tiny plate of vegetables too fill them with. The decor is very dated and dirty in places too. Wasn't overly impressed. The waitress staff were absolutely lovely tho. Quite possibly the restaurants only redeeming quality.

Ordered food, timing was really good but they messed up the whole order. Phoned them to tell them and they told us we didn’t order the things that were missing (we defiantly did ask for them). They refused to re cook. We’ve had to go from st eval to wadebridge twice because they refused to deliver the correct order or put it right. Won’t go again

Eight years ago my friend and I came here for dinner and was enjoying our meal I had to repeatedly stand between courses and pull out some lunges whilst my friend had a case of mild facial paralysis. Later after some wine we were less embarrassed about the strange movements but there were some strange looks being thrown at us. Highly recommend 👌

The waitress although pleasant wore the filthiest uniform I've ever witnessed in serving staff...
