After seeing the good reviews we decided to give this take away a try. Unfortunately the food was dry, flavourless and we were both really disappointed - wouldn't recommend or order again

I came for a week to Ilfracombe for a holiday with my family. Was excited to know there’s Chinese food in town! Did not disappoint. Came with the family and had a feast.They open three times a week so we were lucky to be in town the days they were open. So the next day they were open, we called in for takeaway and tried other food on their menu!Food was flavorful for our Asian tastebuds! We ordered Crispy Chilli Beef (must try!), Mee Goreng (husbands fav as it was spicy to his liking), Yong Chow Fried Rice with veggie (son’s favorite), Roast Duck Wrap (absolutely delicious), Kung Po Chicken (spicy and tasty), Prawn Tempura and Singapore Meehoon. Also ordered noodles to eat with the other dishes. A great mix.Staff was welcoming and friendly. Will definitely come back if ever in town again. Thanks for the lovely meals! Xx

I never write takeaway reviews but the food was so amazing I had to this time! We ordered last night and it was posdibly tue hest chinese food we've had compared to our locals in london. Food was non greasy, fresh and really tasty. Came with free prawn crackers. The portion size was smaller than we are use to (we normally eat the rest the next day) but each dish was enough for 1 person. Highly recommend!

The food is just so great. The duck noodles, nasi goreng and pork ribs are to die for. I am asian so i know when a chinese takeway good or bad. This is awesome. So far the best chinese i’ve ever tried in England.

We rang at 1800 for a table for three at 1900. No problem. On time arrival restaurant half full. Helpful cheerful and capable waiting staff. Three starter courses, three main courses with rice, three bottles of beer. Kung Pao pork really tasty and hot. Automatic 1/4 duck good. £75 all in. Recommended.

The staff need a huge refresher in customer service skills. When I arrived to place an order in the takeaway I was told to leave as they were apparently closed however it was only 8pm and there was still people in the restaurant. I tried to explain that I have been calling for half an hour and couldn’t get through so thought I would come down, for the rude person at the door to say well we’re busy what do you expect. I suggested maybe a phone queue or to write down somewhere that they close for orders at 8pm however she just yelled at me to get out.
