Don't know if under new management?I used to enjoy the food from here. The last couple times. The food as been awful. Expensive for not eatable food. Never again.

Love getting Chinese there, I recommend the duck dishes a lot, I always get duck with cashews or duck with peking sauce if I eat

The food was adequate but they charge me almost £10 more for my order they it was priced in there menu, and there portion size is ridiculously small. But the person i ordered from on the phone was very nice and

So where to start. Visited tonight ordered. Pancake roll, 2 egg fried rice, 1 chicken curry, 1 Sweet and sour chicken hinging kong style ,2 chicken Chow mains and a portion of chicken balls and curry sauce. The pancake roll had no meat just noodles. The chicken curry was tasteless and the meat chewy and the sauce was Gelatinous Chicken balls where doughy with no crunch atall. Chow main where fine and there seemed to be plenty of it. Sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style was tasteless and hardly no chicken.This was my first time ordering with China Orchids and won’t be ordering again .is there any good Chinese takeaways anymore

The pancake rolls... You can't beat them. The best around (maybe because they're batterd) ?♀️ Tho I'm afraid everything else just tastes the same ? I ordered the house special with rice, king prawns with cashew nuts, and salt and pepper king prawns. The prawns were as bland as anything and definetly no salt and pepper on them, and both the other dishes came in a container FULL of onions and carrots cooked in the same sauce! . No flavour what so ever. Will not be ordering again.

Best place to order Chinese Takeaway! Although a tad expensive, it's worth paying the premium over the competition!Indoor seating area however was first closed due to Covid and is remaining closed for the foreseeable.
I never write a review as I always address face to face give you the opportunity to make good, but...One of the most vile tasting Chinese takeaways I have ordered. We had chicken satay which was a thick gelatinous bland tasteless sauce in my book not chicken satay at all , the crispy beef was again in a thick gelatinous vinergrey sauce the beef was tough and soggy as so much sauce and the Yung chow mein again bland and very cheap cuts of meat which reminded me of spam. I called them say I was unimpressed spoke to the owner who apologised and basically told me they have many happy customers and never had complaint about their food as they have always had same chef and cooked like this for years. If this was a restaurant I would have not eaten it and refused to pay. This was a Saturday night treat I will never make mistake again and in future avoid the China orchid in cullompton not that they cared anyway.

I've been going to the China orchid for years and always had a good meal from there. It's only takeaway now, but used to have a decent eating area. Good menu choice and the food is usually always available for collection 15-25 mins which works well.

I did sent the Chinese a email as thought it was decent to see if they wished to comment back on my review but have heard nothing back. Tonight we ordered about £40 worth of food, which was 2 main dishes a rice and a noodle, and 2 sides. I’ve been to other Chinese’s which were a lot better and were at least £10-£15 cheaper. This one was really disappointing. I had the kung po chicken, special rice and seaweed out of the order and the chicken dish was so salty it was all I could taste and so had no more than 1-2 mouthfuls. My partner had the duck in black bean sauce and again it was overly salty this too was barely touched after the first mouthful. The rice, and noodles were fine. As a result we hardly touched our food and after paying out close to £40 I feel really dissatisfied. I have had a takeaway from here before and it was fine and I see this as a one off but this doesn’t take away the feeling of being out of pocket for something I feel was unsatisfactory. I know everywhere has to increase prices but just would expect something at least slightly worth my money. Unfortunately will not be returning
