Ziangs at the Olde Chapel in West Somerset

I’ve been here many times and every time is just as good as the last. I can not fault this place, the food is just incredible, I can’t say I’ve ever had a bad meal at Ziangs, it’s consistent, always full of flavour and well worth the money. The staff are lovely as well which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable and I’m so happy to see them still going after the rotten few years we’ve had. I think it’s great that they have adapted to the times as last time I went they where serving Chinese takeaway food because I think delivery’s of some ingredients where hard, they have now gone back to the Malaysian food which I’m so happy about as it’s just faultless! these guys really know what they’re doing when it comes to the food they serve and you can tell they are passionate about it too which it just wonderful

Food was amazing, and so cheap for what you get, eaten a lot of Malaysian food in the UK as well as in Malaysia, this is better than most places out there, honestly can't believe a place like this is where it is, should be in a big town or city.

We've eaten here many times and the food is always a treat. It's well flavoured with varied dishes to choose from, all in a fun location in the heart of Porlock. Don't expect your food fast as it's all made to order but it's piping hot and worth the wait.

Good food - probably Chinese via Singapore or Malaysia. Helpful service.We felt that we had made a good choice.

Thanks for a lovely meal and service last night 😎Fantastic food, staff, restaurant and location. What more could you ask for?!

Best chicken satay I have had since I lived in Singapore, unfortunately the service was slow and didn't have a good choice of drinks

Its been awhile since I have eaten at Ziangs at the Olde Chapel (COVID and I haven't been in the area) I was fortunate enough to get the chance to go out for dinner. I still love this resturant, the staff are all polite and very helpful. The resturant has a nice relaxed friendly feel. Most importantly all the food is incredible. Everyone I dinned with loved their dishes (and even took some away for lunch the next day) I love Kung Po and this is really one of the only places I have found that make it exactly how I like. The menu has chanegd since my last visit and the new starters were great. I would recommend the Spicy Wings. But to be honest you wouldn't go wrong with whatever you choose.

My partner and I ate here this evening (Saturday 9th October). The food was very good. Our waitress was very friendly & helpful. This is a family run business and all credit to them for providing very good & varied choices. Well done & thanks very much.

Amazing food, huge portions too! Staff are friendly and accommodating! We didn't finish all our food and we were offered a takeaway box for it which is a great idea! Thanks guys!

On holiday in Porlock, we thought we would try Ziangs for an evening meal. I chose Kung Po Vegetables & Tofu and husband chose Prawn Satay. Also Egg fried rice and a separate portion of sweet & sour sauce. We could well have made the wrong choices with our meals, as we found them both to be rather too spicy for our taste. The egg fried rice was nice, but the sweet and sour sauce should be re-christened 'hot & spicy' as it tasted exactly the same as the spicy Kung Po sauce.

Last year went to the takeaway on the weir and it was fantastic cannot say enough for the taste and quality Of the weir But today went to the restaurant in porlock and disappointed is a understatement We ordered several different dishes and starters and I can honestly say there was not one we enjoyed The start was not good Drinks there was only one type of beer carlsburg and they were warm Out of the choice of starters 3 were not available so we ordered a small portion of chicken balls in batter with sweet and sour sauce Cut into the chicken and was wet and watery and the sauce tasted bought in The pancake rolls were def bought in with I presume bought in sauce When they gave us the plates for the main courses they were freezing so when the food came out it of course it went cold very quickly To be fair the chow mean and the egg fried rice were ok but the rest was awful I eat a lot of Chinese food but this is definitely up there with the worst food I have had I heard the owner was away getting married so I really hope that this is not the norm because the takeaway is so good and the area is crying out for a good Chinese restaurant This is the first review I have ever written so it shows how I feel But please go and I hope my experience is a one off

Was really looking forward to eating here as I'm local and had not been before, but just did not cut it, which I would not expect considering the reputation the Youtube channel has. One dish was inedible due to the salt content, all other dishes we just greasy and what I would expect from a 1 star Chinese take away on a city backstreet. Wanted it to be good but it was genuinely one of the worst meals I've had in a restaurant, so unfortunately fell very short of the mark.

What an amazing meal xx such amazing food and service - we will come back x the flavours were just awesome Surely this place is an undiscovered treasure x

First time at Ziangs restaurant - we had previously been delighted with their takeaway at Porlock Weir. Once again they did not disappoint with delicious beef in black bean sauce, tofu in sweet satay, mushrooms in garlic and veg spring rolls. All absolutely amazing. Lovely staff, lovely surroundings. Cannot recommend it enough - and if fully booked - head to Porlock Weir for takeaway!

Wanted to try something different, so stopped by for a meal in the evening. Friendly staff, food was ok. Good sized portions and value for money. Closed quite early. Ambience a little strange, bright lighting and music a little loud for quality of speakers.

We ordered a takeaway and it was ready for collection when we asked for it. Liked the Tempuras, salt and pepper chicken, nice noodles, black bean and curry.

We ordered the munchbox. It was very good quality and lots of variety. More than enough for 2. Good service and friendly staff.

Love this place!! The food is great and Service was amazing! A Real gem! We come from London so were craving something a bit more exciting than a roast dinner or a cream tea and this place delivered just that!! I just wish they had...

As my husband lived in Malysia for 3 years, he can honestly say it was truly auhentic and delicious. The waitress was very welcoming and the restaurant and service faultless.We would love to make a return visit one day

As my wife and I visited friends in Porlock many times a year to find a new eating place will always try it out.100% for this new restaurant a portion that will fill you up and more, good luck to them.

We have visited on several occasions since moving to Porlock and can honestly say that not only is the food amazing, the service is spot on and we always order a takeaway for our two sons to enjoy after school. Looking forward to our next...

A lovely meal in a great setting. Service was fantastic very friendly staff. Food was great with generous portion sizes. Would recommend.

We'd been to Ziangs at Porlock Weir and the food was fantastic. During our recent stay, we tried the new location in the Olde Chapel in Porlock village. Once again, the food was amazing, probably the most flavourful dishes we've had in a long time....

The best malaysian curry I have ever tried hands down, friendly staff, lovely location in the Olde Chapel, please get some Exmoor Gin for next time :-)

loved our experience-delicious meal-we all ate different dishesand the service was great and nice place!

A real gem of a place in Porlock. Simple menu but excellent fare. Hearty portions of street food full of flavour plus easily the best prawn crackers - highly recommended.

First time visit but will definitely not be the last. Just what Porlock needed - a restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, charming staff and excellent food. Wish them well.

Called in on our first night of a 2 night mini break in Porlock, and were show to a table immediately, by a friendly and polite waitress. There's not a huge choice on the menu, but still enough to satisfy most people. Portions were very...

Wonderful authentic food . Quick service. Would definitely recommend and return as soon as possible ! Very good value for money .

We went here yesterday afternoon. We pretty much had the place to ourselves but it was 3pm in the afternoon which is not a normal time to eat but suited us. The service was good, friendly and the place lovely and clean. The food choice...

Absolutely loved the food Mix between Malaysian, Thai, Indonesian Service excellent with friendly staff Last orders for food 20:00, but not rushed at all to finish the food Would strongly recommend

The menu is small, which isn't a bad thing. The prawn crackers were the best I've had. We also had vegetable spring roll sides which were quite special. They were big, and so were our mains. In fact the mains were too big, and almost...

Visited Ziangs on recommendation. We were not dissapointed. Six meals all beautifully served and tasted amazing. Will definitely visit again and am already recommending Ziangs to friends too. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Nice surroundings. Well done Ziangs, 10 out of 10.

Have always loved Ziang’s at Porlock Weir, and couldn’t wait to try their new ‘branch’ in Porlock village. Quite a simple menu but the food is amazing - freshly cooked and the flavours are divine and portions generous. Lovely relaxed welcoming atmosphere and the staff...

The food here is so good! As someone who holidays in Malaysia a lot, it’s always hard to find somewhere that serves authentic Malaysian food (and we live in London!) Ziang’s char kway teow was so good my boyfriend order a second as soon as...

I have always been an fan of Ziang's on the Weir so I was excited to learn that they now have a restaurant within the heart of Porlock. I finally got the chance to go for a meal with friends and family last night and...

We had a takeaway on 16th July; we live locally and thought the drinks were very expensive which put us off eating in. The food was excellent although not as generous as we had been led to believe by several friends who had eaten in,...

Having lived in the Far East we were keen to try this restaurant which serves Indonesian/Malay/Singaporean/Thai cuisine and were not disappointed. We were given truly authentic dishes, the best we have had for a long time. Service was prompt and we did not have to...

Lovely restaurant with delicious, authentic Asian food. One member of our party is not a fan of Asian food and the staff and chef were very accommodating in serving a pared back alternative (crispy chicken and chips). I had the Nasi Goreng which was wonderful....

I’ve eaten Pad Thai all over the world. It’s my go to Asian style dish, spent many years cycling all over Thailand, Borneo, Vietnam and I can honestly hold my hands up and say I’ve never had a Pad Thai as good as Ziangs cooks,...

I felt really lucky to have stumbled upon Ziangs, I had no preconceptions about the restaurant before going, as I had done no research prior. However I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! The only down side was that all of their...

I've eaten at the Porlock Weir outlet and thought I'd try the new place located in the main town of Porlock, me and my wife were not dissapointed. We've lived; both in Malaysia and Singapore for a few years, Ziangs is the most authentic food...

We ate here on Saturday night. Ziangs has a menu of maybe a dozen dishes plus a drinks menu. We had a selection of "extras" like spring rolls plus a green curry and a Nosi Goreng. The curry and the nosi goreng were both wonderful...
