Went in, went out, without buyng anything, despite being really, really hungry for Chinese food. It looked awful and is super expensive. Could not believe prices. 6 quid for a bog-standard curry EXCLUDING fried rice, which've added on another 2 pounds 70.In terms of general ambiance, this place looks like a throwback takeaway from the 1970s. It has chipped formica and condensation on the window panes and everything. There's even a badly hand-painted menu on the wall, and it won't take in terms of payment cheques or cards or anything other than cash that - for preference - has been excavated out of the bottom foam of your sofa bed whilst you've been standing over it with a carving knife, weeping tears of despair over the pretty pass your life's brought you to, having been brought so low as to have pay for questionable Chinese food in this manner from a place such as thisl, etc.If I were you I'd give it a miss.

Really good Chinese takeaway and staff really friendly. A food and good portion size.Cash only but Bank cash points very near. Saturday night is really busy, even when you order in advance can still end up waiting 30 minutes plus. Great place but if possible avoid a Saturday or be prepared to wait.

We continue to enjoy this restaurant, which really has an excellent kitchen. We've tried all the other candidates both here and in Okey and none of them come close to this place's cooking. The food is more authentic; more refined & delicate than that offered elsewhere. This is particularly noticeable in their thai version of sweet & sour. Despite the name "Thai Chilli....(KingPrawn; Pork; Chicken etc)" , it isn't very spicy but it is absolutely delicious. The King Prawns are plump and juicy and the batter thin and crispy, (not those bought in puff-balls you often see). The Rendang is good too and indeed we've enjoyed everything we've tried including their substantial soups.It is best to avoid peak times on those days where "all you can eat" buffet is on; as this encorages big parties of tables and their constant ordering can overwhelm the kitchen and service suffers. However this place is so reasonably priced at all times that the buffet can easily be avoided if a quieter evening is required. For example last night we had:-Won Ton Soup plus Chicken & Sweetcorn Soup (very good) followed by:-Thai Chilli King Prawn (Excellent)Chicken Chow Mein (good)Chicken Rendang (v good)Chilli & Garlic Mixed Veg (v good)Boiled Rice2 Tiger Beers and Bottle of House White (£12-95!)All for £58! And the two of us were really stuffed.I believe the chef is Malaysian and that perhaps explains why the food is a little different and as I say a bit more refined. Don't be put off by the slightly drab decor - the restaurant provides really very good cooking indeed and we know of nothing better in the region (other than the Thai Jasmine in Exeter).
