The worst Chinese I have ever eaten!
We placed a large order for our last night of our family holiday..
It's was completely inedible and it all went in the bin..
The Chicken was cheap and had a strange taste and texture.
The food lacked taste, was oily, there was no part of the meal that tasted nice!
The customer service was completely shocking, when we phoned to complain, we're told we we're lying!
I would not recommend this Chinese or any dish!

Last night in Devon and ordered from here, without doubt the worst and strangest Chinese food we have ever had. Massively disappointing.
Was then told if I took the food out of the bin and back to the restaurant, I’d get a refund as I might be lying. Last night of a family holiday, and I’m trying to rip off a Chinese restaurant. Perfect…I’d avoid this place.

Ordered a takeaway for the conclusion of our family holiday, the first choice based on reviews was closed so decided to roll the dice on this one. 20 min drive to collect.
Once we got back we opened the dishes and were immediately underwhelmed.
Stale prawn crackers
Kung po lacked any real flavour.
Chow mein was clearly just noodles with other parts on top not cooked together or even mixed.
Chicken and prawn balls were greasy and the batter was soggy
Special fried rice was not special and bland
Barbecue sauce was weak and oily
Prawn toast appeared to be deep fried bread with some bland paste and no sesame seeds.
I could go on..
We called them after throwing the food away to complain and were told that we needed to take the food back to them in the bin bag to get any form of refund.
I would not recommend anyone to eat here.

Oh man, what a trip. I come from Weston super mare which isn’t exactly the home of food cuisine in England. This isn’t even Chinese food. I can’t in good conscience recommend this to anyone - every dish bar the rice and curry sauce (which were nice) were horrendous. 2* because they offered me a refund which I gladly appreciate but my whole family were in agreement, it was bordering inedible.
Not a whisper of black bean in the black bean, just a sweet syrup, the chicken quality in the satay was something that tasted freezer burnt for years (with no peanut taste, just pure sweetness) and the chow mien seams like they thought that meant chop suey, but it tasted like really strong water (the only way I can describe it). My only advice to the team here is please try a Chinese in another town non-adjacent, to understand what Cantonese food should be like (in the UK of course, broad Chinese food is a varied from both). Even if it’s a bad one, it will be better. My mind is blown. Had to get an Indian it left such a bad taste in the mouth.

This Chinese takeaway offers a great selection of dishes that are sure to satisfy your cravings. The food is always fresh and full of flavour, and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and efficient, making it a great option for a quick and tasty meal on the go. Overall, I highly recommend giving this Chinese takeaway a try!

Certainly the cheapest curry and other food in Teignmouth but it also means equal to any other curry house in town. Always good to phone your order to avoid a longish wait inside....necessary during this Covid19 nuisance. Tasty and fresh food at a very reasonable price. UPDATE: STILL a great value for your money. No increases in their food since last I reviewed 3 months ago, a pleasant change with just about everyone putting their prices up!!

Truly awful food. Chicken balls were soggy inside, chow mien and chop suey were tasteless, as were the barbequed ribs - the sauce they were in was like insipid pink water. We threw half the meal into the food bin - the banana skins in there would have been more edible. If I had been given this food in a sit in restaurant I would have refused to pay for it. Do not book a takeaway from this place. If I was allowed zero stars I would have given it that.
