The best restaurants serving Chinese food in South West

Food was great will definitely be getting food from their again

Very disappointing. Ordered the all you can eat menu. Portions were small and not served as the dish was described on the menu. If you order a sizzling dish you expect it to be just that. No such luck I'm afraid and the excuses as to why we're feeble. The food was not served hot enough and was unappetising. Wouldn't repeat the experience. The meal had to be paid for in advance, the reason became clear as the meal progressed. Few would have wanted to pay for it.

This was our first visit to The Power and our last. We ordered online and said we would pop over and pick up our meal. The girls in the front of house were so unfriendly bordering on rude. No welcoming smile. Initially they said they didn't have an order for us and then found it in the kitchen. My husband smiled and was friendly and said goodbye to glum miserable faces. My Noodles were not very good hardly any beansprouts and stone cold had to reheat. The prawn crackers were the worst I've ever had and the prawn and pineapple although tasty and well cooked seemed to be swimming in tinned pineapple juice. My husband did enjoy his Tofu and vegetables with egg rice and he enjoyed that. The worst thing was an hour after the meal I felt shaky, really thirsty with palpitations and jitters. Almost like I have had an adrenalin shot. Very weird and unlike anything I've had before. My sister in law often says she's not good with MSG and when I looked at the symptoms online I definitely had many of them. When we looked up the website it says only 99% of there food contains MSG. I think I had the 1% in my food. I wonder at the need for any business to feel the need to state that at all unless its been an issue before. I shan't be going back. Despite the appalling service and mediocre food I wouldn't want to suffer like that again.

Always very good, very polite and deliver quickly

The perfect food,amazing customer service and a great atmosphere. What more can you ask for

Don’t normally have a Chinese on a Monday. However my usual Chinese closed. Received an excellent service from the telephone operator to the food. The meal was delicious, large potatoes chips, not black eyed chipped stumpy ones. The duck was fresh and delicious. This will be my new take away service. Thank you!!

Been going to tommys since i was a school boy. Just good honest fish and chips at a great price. Lovely staff who always remember u and have nice things to say. Good portions and in my view the best chippy chips on exeter

I ordered food last night my chicken satay was half cold I had to heat it up in the microwave I was not impressed the rest of the food was fine

Just EXCELLENT. Highly recommend chicked fried rice and sweet and sour chicken balls. Mmmmm

Just finished my last ever takeaway from the Hong Kong Chef as its Sam and Pauline's last day today after serving great Chinese fare for the last 41 years in Braunton. Wishing you both all the very best for a long and happy retirement and safe travels wherever you go. Best Yeung Chow fried rice since Singapore! Take care, we'll miss you!

So disappointed. First time and the rice wasn't cooked properly, the sweet and sour sauce was watery and not like anything ive had in other establishments. Its a shame because the chicken in the Hong Kong style sweet and sour chicken peices were really tender. Will not buy again.

Fuimos con nuestros amigos de COWES para dejarlos experimentar este increíble restaurante , la comida era excelente incluso si pedimos demasiado el servicio era excelente también el camarero que nos atendió era muy profesional y amable también y empacó toda la comida que no pudimos comer para llevar a casa , esperamos con ansias nuestra próxima visita

The last time we were here was back in October 2023. Food was an acceptable standard. One dish we ordered was Beef HoFun. Unfortunately, rehydrated HoFun was used, which wasn't an issue. But on this occasion, the HoFun wasnt properly rehydrated, as a result, it was soft on the outside and hard on inside, like under cooked rice. Every eatery deserves a chance so we thought it was just an oversight. We visited again today for lunch. Big disappointment is an understatement. Food was of very poor standard. Egg tarts appeared to be from yesterday's (Chinese New Year) shift.. Oil used to deep fry the dim sum dishes we ordered definitely was old/tainted oil, which had been used to fry lobster/prawns. The roast pork belly again was most likely from yesterday's shift. The rice texture gave me the feeling it was microwave reheated. Certain steamed dim sum had the appearance/taste of frozen ready made fare from Chinese supermarkets. The service was poor and attention to detail was non existent. A waiter brought back a refilled teapot. Spilled an amount on the table and walked off. Leaving us to deal with the mess. Not a big deal, but to not acknowledge the accident wasn't very professional. Overall, it was a poor show at best. Waiting staff definitely need training, as for the food, I can only say that they need to raise their game.

Absolutely fabulous takeaway. Everything cooked to perfection with fresh vegetables and good meat and seafood. Thank you

This has been the best Chinese in Exeter consistently for many years. Not only is the food always great but so are the delivery times, service and prices. They always make the effort to tell you how long the delivery will be and it is always shorter. Crispy chili beef is the best.
