Ziang's in West Somerset

Absolutely gorgeous food taste they get the spices right will absolutely return next time we are in Somerset

A really tasty lunch, freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Would thoroughly recommend it, outside seating available.

After being late for lunch at the pub we strolled along and suprised to come across Zaings. lovely takeaway food in a unexpected location, can eat by the little harbour on bench tables, well worth a visit.

Wow, what a fantastic find! Delicious Malaysian Street food (restaurant quality!) served to us overlooking the quay. Kampong Mee Goreng with huge king prawns, vegetables, chicken and noodles. Three very happy and contented customers looking forward to eating there again.

Portlock Weir is a heavenly little harbour in Somerset. It is captivating my beautiful and surrounded by beautiful walls. There are only a few places to eat, and this place is wonderful. Authentic, delicious food, served as street food, so take out. Lots of space to sit by the harbour. Yum yum! No wonder it is a travellers choice winner.

We passed through Porlock Weir while on a trip somewhere else, trying to find somewhere to let the dog have a swim - and we chanced upon Ziang's. All I can say is I'm delighted the fates aligned that day! That was some of the best noodle-based cuisine I've had in absolute years! Freshly made, generous portions, and great ingredients/recipes. Simply outstanding.

Beautifully presented noodle takeaway, has tables and benches overlooking the harbour. Quality and original flavours cannot get better in Thai or malay restaurant. Choice of noodles and 3 flavours. Comes with lime leaves and half fresh limes. Really good valor at 9.95, jumbo veg roll has great flavour and chilli dip. All freshly made, recommended

This is the sort of food you will dream about having again! Best food for miles. Fresh and tasty and I think that the view is the best in the world!

The food here is consistently excellent, always freshly cooked.The staff are very friendly, best take away for miles.

We were staying in Porlock Weir after a day walking and were not sure what we would be eating for dinner as it is such a tiny place. Have to say the food from Ziangs was the most wonderful end to our day. Tasty and freshly cooked. We both had laksa with rice noodles. The fruit drinks were also a taste sensation ! Eaten at the table outside with a sea view, who could ask for more.

Called in to Porlock Weir so the wife could have some fresh oysters for lunch and with Ziang's being the only other place nearby open (The Gallery Café was closed due to staff shortage) I opted for the Vodka Battered Fish and Chips Wow what a refreshing change to seaside fish and chips! The batter was so light and crisp with perfect French fries and delightful chilli dipping sauce, all cooked fresh to order and delivered to the outside table, fantastic lunch

What a find! We enjoy the food in the West Country, but there's only so many pasties and portions of fish and chips I can eat, particularly as I don't really eat that food at home. I was rather surprised, and delighted to find Ziangs in Porlock Weir. The food was completely delicious, with great service and friendly staff. I'd have been happy eating that laksa in Asia, let alone on a dorset beach. More businesses should take note and think about diversifying their food offerings as it was extremely popular!

what a great find ,excellent service even though staff shortage , food was out of this world ,we do love a chinese but that was right out there ,could not fault it it .best chinese ever tasted and that was from all 5 of us adults ,staff was so friendly and helpful with the choices of food ,would highly recommend this lovely little resturant ,Ziangs deserve more than a 5 star rating

Have been looking forward to visiting Ziangs since following Chin and Choo on YouTube. Had the laksa with thin noodles. What can I say? They were amazing. All the flavours came through, the prawns and chicken were tender and cooked perfectly. Will definitely visit again when in Porlock Weir - just hope weather is better next time. Thank you Choo

Recommended by friends to try on our recent holiday. So good we went back again. Amazing food, fresh and full of flavour. We will be back!!

We got to the harbour after a long day coastal walk and unexpectedly we found this hidden gem. One of my favourite foods is curry laksa and I was over the moon to find the authentic Asian version. Their laksa is amazing and I highly...

Simply delicious and good value. Even make the dish bigger for an extra £1. It was a lovely harbour setting

Lovely, friendly hosts creating excellent, delicious food in a beautiful sea side setting. if you are looking for authentic South East Asian or the classic fish and chips with a twist, I would highly recommend Ziangs if you are in the area or heading to...

Absolutely the best noodles we’ve ever had! Fresh with a zingy aromatic taste. You can eat at one of the tables on the weir or take it home with you. You will not be disappointed.

What a great find Ziangs was! Amazing tasty food and friendly service. My wife and I went for a stroll around Porlock Weir as it's such a pretty little place. Once we'd seen the Ziangs menu there was nowhere else we were going to grab...

Visited today and can honestly say Ziangs noodle dishes are the best I have ever eaten. Will definitely go back soon. Totally Covid compliant and very helpful staff

Just dropped by today and we had the most delicious noodles we’ve ever eaten. Really delicious, very fresh flavours and perfectly seasoned. Don’t go to Porlock Wier without trying this lovely food.

A takeaway service with restaurant quality food. Asian style but with options for all including children - great size portion and incredible flavour.

An excellent meal, good value and good service, book early to avoid dissapointment, parking can be an issue as its a small old village but car park fairly near

Yummy prawn & chicken noodles made delicious with crunchy beansprouts and just the right level of seasoning and eaten in the sunshine - even better!

We spot this place and tried 2 dishes with 2 dishes. Delicious well prepared food!!! Highly recommended!!!!

Porlock Weir is a tiny little place and we didn't expect to find a noodle place! We only had a little snack there, but it all looked decent.

We found this back accident. The food was fantastic we will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

Just finished The Most Enjoyable takeaway, although it has cause an argument between me and the Misses as to which of the three dishes was the best. Incredible. Thanks peeps. If you are in the area do not miss out. Top Notch.

Went here a few times and Ziang's caught our eye. Not the place youd expect an Asian street food place to be, but there it was. Smelled great. A few days later, it's absolutely tipping it down, but we called in and got some food....

Excellent way to finish our holiday. Ziangs food was delicious. We ordered noodles and a selection from the extras list. Lovely people, lovely place. We will be back again asap! Dan Birmingham

Four of us pre-ordered a takeaway and were blown away by the complex flavours and quality of the noodle dishes, particularly the coconut curry dish. A big thank you !

Visited Porlock on a very rainy day and discovered Ziangs. What a treat! Our group ordered various dishes and all were amazing. So tasty, the noodles were plentiful and the sauces, meat, fish and vegetables cooked to perfection. Highly recommend a visit!

Bought noodles to take away. Very greasy food. The coconut curry noodles were okay but overall a bit disappointing.

Fantastic Malaysian and British cuisine. Generous portions and really tasty. Highly recommended after a walk to Culborne Church.

Who’d of thought that you would find a family run Malaysian street food cafe in a tiny exmoor village. Had a delicious kari laksa while looking out over harbour. A real highlight.

Fantastic. Generous portions of super tasty curry, friendly people and unbeatable seaside atmosphere. + lovely fruit drinks too! Many thanks

After seeing positive reviews online I came here for a takeaway meal whilst on my solo camping trip. The staff were friendly and helpful, I choose the chicken and prawn laska curry with udon noodles, it was absolutely delicious, a generous portion and very clearly freshly cooked. Would recommend anyone in the area to try this place. Lovely location by the water too.

What a shame you used to make the best chips ever, disappointed with my expensive portion of not nice chips, just could have been cheap frozen, I do usually bring friends down but this HD as out me off

Delicious freshly made noodles!! Worth a visit when you're in Porlock Weir. Would definitely recommend!!

We had a great lunch here sat by the harbour. Fresh, interesting menus prepared by friendly staff. It's lovely to get something different this far into Somerset.

Having watched Ziangs food workshop on YouTube, and become a fan, I just had to visit their restaurants and sample the cuisine. Ziangs on the Weir delivered exactly what I was looking for. Superb food with fantastic flavour. I had a Malaysian curry and it was absolutely delicious. My wife, a really fussy eater, had the chicken parcels and thoroughly enjoyed them. If you are anywhere near the area and feeling like some awesome food then I advise you to drop in. Choo and her husband are very gracious and friendly and made our visit extra special by chatting and posing for a photo with Choo herself. A delight to meet and the food was special too.

Lovely lunch.. very tasty, fresh and great value!! Well worth a visit on a cold January lunchtime!!!

Visited on a warm day in July. Ordered our food and sat at the picnic benches overlooking the harbour as we had our dog with us. There is seating under cover if you wish to eat indoors. Our meals were brought out to us after about 10mins. The food was very tasty and the portions were very generous. Very good value. We will certainly return.

Small place with a street food feel. Delicious food, full of flavour, extremely friendly and attentive service, and good value.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere here - the Malaysian curry was yum. The cider we had with it was particularly good too.

I surprised my wife with this mystery location for our day out lunch at the coast! She was most impressed and will look forward to a return (in the spring?). Very appetizing food but for me spoiled by use of cheap "sweated" chicken and excessive quantities!I suspect previous reviews have been much influenced by the amazing Porlock Weir location but the service is A1.

Ziangs porlock weir has lovely helpful people to cook your food for you which was fabulous. Highly recommended you won't be disappointed !!!!

We walked from Porlock to Porlock weir had lunch with friends. Bao buns the best I have had in years. Walked back to Porlock the next day we decided to get a takeaway from the restaurant in the village, looked up menu on line and ordered pad Thai and chicken and prawn curry amazing flavours and not small portions, well worth a visit.

Having walked from Porlock, we were in need of a hearty lunch, and looking for something different to the usual pub grub. We'd passed Ziang's back in town, and hadn't realised they had their original place here. We dined on enormous portions of tasty noodles and curry, accompanied by delicious fruit coolers, all with beautiful views next to the harbour. Which service too. A brilliant find.

Called in here for lunch and had a lovely meal sat overlooking the harbour. Fried chicken dish, spicy chicken buns and a HUGE bag of prawn crackers. I liked their reusable metal chopsticks to reduce waste too. Well worth a visit.

Molto buono il piatto impronunciabile di riso cavoli cipolla fritta cipolla ananas e fagiolini!! Seduti all'aperto sui tavolini fronte porto in attesa dell'alta marra x vedere sollevarsi le barche

Lovely Asian street food on the shores of Somerset at Porlock Weir - of course - Lovely. Would recommend the Han Bao

We visit Ziangs whenever we are in Somerset as the food is just superb. The menu is always different and this time we shared mango chicken sambal and some chips. The fries have changed to french fries since our last visit but my boyfriend prefers these so he was happy. The sambal was utterly delicious and now served in china bowls which pleases my plastic-conscious mind!

A last minute large order, cooked quickly. Absolutely delicious, will become a staple meal of our holiday every year 🍲 🍜

We shared vegan and chicken bao buns in this little find. Great street food vibe and very friendly service. You must try it!

Delicious street food, but can sell out quickly at busy times. Triple-cooked chips are simply divine and perfect for munching whilst sitting at the harbour side trying to spot the odd seal. Quite excited to hear they’ve now opened a bigger restaurant in Porlock.

The food here is very good and tasty. The menu is limited due to the size of the kitchen and capacity to store food. All food is freshly cooked while you wait and is presented well. The portions are good. The setting is stunning with views over the bay. All staff very friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit and will definitely return.

We had a take away for all the family for my birthday. Great value, great food. Friendly & helpful staff. Very tasty. Well worth a visit.

I ate at Ziangs whilst travelling alone. I couldn’t fault anything about the experience and the food was absolutely delicious.

Well what a fabulous treat to have an early supper at this place.

We've eaten a few times here, overlooking the harbour. Each time the food was good, tasty and quick. The staff are friendly and attentive.

This is Ziangs at the Chapel Porlock .... we have had wonderful food from the Xiangs at the Weir but not so here. Rather uninviting dining room ... needs candles on tables to brighten it up! Limited menu and very pricey drinks ..... lemon and lime crush was mainly water and not very cold .... £3.80 a glass too!! Tap water served without ice .

Gem of a find in the small village of Porlock. Green curry was absolutely sensational and service was enthusiastic and attentive. Don't go too late though, it closes early!

Staying at the Porlock Weir Hotel, we came across this little place ... talk about well hidden. Perhaps it’s well known locally, but it really deserves a much wider audience as the food is simply SUPERB.

We tried Ziangs take away, really tasty food and very generous portions. Would definitely go back. All freshly cooked to order and friendly staff.

Delicious fish and chips in a peaceful harbour setting. I think the chips were triple cooked - best I've had in a long time.

We were at porloch for day out . Well worth a visit the food was delicious also sold chicken and chips if you have kids who don't eat spicy food .you can sit in side or outside also do takeaway food

Found this little gem on YouTube whiist scrolling through endless videos on how to make Sweet and Sour Sauce. Very quickly became in love with the style and presentation of the videos, very easy to watch and follow instructional videos.

My wife and I visited this place whilst holidaying in the area. We are both fond lovers of Asian food and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavour of the food we ordered. The place is very small with only about five tables but they do have plenty of seating outside. The staff were friendly and efficient and our food was served very promptly. My chicken and prawn curry was one of the best I have tasted, rich and with wonderful depths of flavour.

Whenever we are in North. Somerset/Devon we just have to go to Porlock Weir and have a meal at Mrs. Ziang's. The menu is simple, but there is still plenty of choice for the whole family. Opening hours are a bit limited, midday to five pm. Would be better if they did three til seven or eight, but maybe they can't deal with that? Anyway, I can highly recommend the food and the friendly service. Worth driving down from Wiltshire for!

Really impressed with this hidden gem, well worth going out of your way to find such tasty food. The chips are just awesome and staff very friendly

Great spot overlooking Porlock Weir. Tasty gourmet chips, alas these were battered and there didn't seem to be any gluten free options or if there were the staff did not seem to know. They didn't seem well organised re service.

Visited Porlock Weir for the first time, almost went in the Ship but saw poster for Ziangs and thought we'd give it a try. Friendly welcome and despite lots being sold out (good sign on an early Jan weekday) We chose vegetarian version of chicken rice. Very authentic feel to the small cafe with open kitchen and information about Bruneian food and culture. Food was amazing with simple but stunning presentation. Best tofu I've eaten and a perfectly fried egg topping the dish (see picture). Would highly recommend. We will be returning soon. Are considering a buffet night with friends too. Very reasonably priced for the quality. An excellent find

What a lovely greeting from the owners. Husband and I shared le main menu and Nash goring rice at the restaurant. We took home Seven other menus for family at home. We live 37 miles away and freeze some of the fresh cooked food. It’s great. We will be back in the new year.

We booked Ziangs for an evening banquet and were not disappointed, having spoken to the owners a few times they were very happy to put together a menu for me that included my favourite dishes (I used to live in Singapore/Malaysia). There was plenty of food and it was all absolutely amazing, there were even some authentic pieces I was not expecting like curry puffs. They were also happy for us to take home whatever we didn't eat. Everyone was so full and content and said how delicious it was after. I would definitely recommend Ziangs and if you have time stop in for a banquet you will not be disappointed!

What an unexpected find fantastic food at very reasonable prices large portion unable to finish meal so we brought home what was left would highly recommend very friendly staff.

I to have been to Ziang's on a few occasions and also had their Thai food. I would agree with Pegasus1664 that it is not quite as authentic as the street food you will find in Thailand. I would not say it is bad, in fact, to the contrary, it is very good. I personally have eaten street food in the far east for over 40 years and the food in Malaysia is very different from what you will find in Thailand. Thai's use a lot more chillies in their food. It is also the aroma of the dish not the heat of the chillies that give you the first impression of Thai food, they always use kaffir limes leaves/ rind to flavour their curries. Plus small Thai eggplant, palm sugar and Thai basil, they also use shallots, not onions. The owners of Ziangs I understand are Chinese Malay from Brunei and their idea of a Thai curry is not what I would I call authentic. I personally recommend Ziangs as they do an excellent job of producing oriental food but with a Chinese twist. The time I went their curries were just over £8 which I thought was very reasonable

As a family group of 6, we turned up around Saturday lunchtime and ordered a meal each from scampi and chips to the duck with noodles and they were amazing. All meals were finished despite the very generous portion size, it was great food. We enjoyed it on the picnic Ben he's across the lane on the grassy area over looking the end of the harbour and over to the sea - lovely!

Found Ziang’s after our first day of walking the SW coast path. Delicious food and friendly service. Definitely recommend eating here

We have been eating at Ziangs for some time, the prices have gone up considerably on par with the pub next door. We have eaten lots of street food in Thailand ( lived in the far east) and the owner does a very good job but not quite as authentic, lack of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. The owner can could smile a bit more and the male waiter good have a bit more manners. We used to always have a china bowels to eat out of but it is now served in a cheap plastic dish. At over £10 for red curry and being served in a plastic dish, I will not be going back there. Sorry Ziangs you have got greedy and have lost your original concept.

Ziang’s lives up to it’s reviews. We were keen to visit after reading about it and were not disappointed. From the outside the wonderful smell began to raise our lunchtime hunger even higher. A quick look at the menu and our choices were made: fish cakes x2, boneless chicken thigh x2, nasi goreng and a chicken rice, all to go.

Walked past this place last week and the smells were amazing so called back today to try the food and wasnt disappointed...quite a limited menu but enough on there to satisfy.....

Visited here yesterday and was sad they no longer do cod. The chips are still the best and they now do more Malaysian style street food which is delicious.

Well worth the trip to the very pretty harbour. Park opposite The Ship, with 2 minute walk to Ziangs tiny hut offering great Thai/ Malaysian in very generous portions, alongside Cod & Chips. Only room for about 6 to eat inside, but they have harbour side picnic tables and do takeaways. Highly recommend Pad Thai and Chicken Rice dishes.

I read the reviews on here as my Mum lives in Minehead and was looking for somewhere different to eat. This is definitely worth a visit. Mum, my friend and I had the traditional food and it was fantastic, quick and service great. The kids had something with chips and that was really good.

Totally unexpected location - and it’s really really good food. Will most definitely be back. Fabulous flavours and perfect setting on the harbour side.

Usually end up with pub grub but thought I'd try something different. Haven't had Pad Thai (hope I spelled it correctly) before. Great bowl full of noodles, prawns and chicken, too much for me so partner finished it off which was unusual for him as he played safe with scampi and chips. He enjoyed the Pad Thai in addition to his own meal. Gorgeous crispy chips . Would recommend this place

Having first discovered Ziang's via their YouTube channel and being very impressed with their cooking videos, and the high praise they have received in reveiws,

We ordered a takeaway this afternoon to take home to have for dinner. I haven’t had flavours like that since I was traveling around Asia. You can tell the Ziangs team are very talented and passionate about the food they cook. And we even have enough for lunch tomorrow. Will be coming back soon hopefully for one of their banquet evenings they offer.

My sons Thai meal was good but my scampi and chips was very mediocre. We asked if they would kindly refill our water bottles as it was a very hot day and we had cycled there, they refused saying they were not allowed to.

I was absolutely delighted to stumble across this charming restaurant last year. On a dingy rainy day in rural Somerset it really was a surprise to find a place that did both fish and chips and oriental/Asian fusion cuisine! I have tried the chips and several curry dishes and I cannot fault a single one. They make a huge effort to cater for all dietary and allergy requirements, the prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly. For me though the best thing about this place is how great it is to have both British and Asian cuisine done so brilliantly all in one place! I would recommend this place to anyone.

I have never enjoyed a Thai meal so much! I had Basil Chicken and Tim had Duck Rice - both truly magnificent! Disappointed that they were not willing to move to Looe so that we could eat there more often. Cannot praise highly enough - wise to ring ahead and reserve food and make sure they are open.

We stumbled across this gem of a place we went for a wander and here it is .

Found this little place tucked away at Prolcok Weir. What a find. The Asian-inspired menu has something for everyone and the staff were friendly. My chicken dish was excellent! Thank you to all.

A great little find, in Porlock Weir Harbour, this essentially takeaway with a few tables inside and several outside serves great fresh Thai Food - Nice short menu of fresh dishes and a couple of traditional British seaside favorites. Great authentic Thai Food!

In a wonderfully picturesque place, Ziang's provides a lovely place to sit and enjoy some amazing food served out in generous servings. Wonderful authentic food and the staff will even cook to your spice preferences if you want to try a dish which might normally be beyond your tolerance. Great friendly atmosphere and Chef Michael's funny laugh is infectious.

Again good fish and chips but my husband's curry was special. There are now tables inside but better to eat outside if possible and enjoy the ambience of the Weir.

Have been going Thai festival in Poole for years and we tried many different thai/asian restaurants in Poole and surroundings areas when we lived there but this food from Ziang's is like a different league! Now I know how real Thai food really taste. First time here today and I had Pad Thai dish with extra chillies - it was so delicious and so far the best I have ever had! Only 'problem' that portions are so huge I could not eat all :) My missus had a Chicken Rice - we have never seen and taste chicken prepared this way. Very different and it tastes amazing with perfectly cooked rice. If you like this cuisine this is definitely a palce to go. If we can give more stars we would. Great place with lovely people who runs it with love and passion

Wonderfully authentic example of Thai, Malaysian street food.
