I’m writing this on behalf of my visually impaired niece and her friend on the experience in this restaurant.They were so upset with food and service.,they couldn’t actually eat anything.The rice was solid and cold curry was served on cold plates.Infact the food was inedible they had to leave the restaurant hungry.What started out as a lovely exciting evening,ended up as a horrible disappointment.

When out the other night, I noticed the waiter was making drinks and used his hand grab ice cube directly and also tasted by himself!!! (I am really sure that is not made for himself as someone collect it later.) I feel lucky as I was not the guy drink that, but while I'm having mine, that's all I'm thinking about! Was mine also be touched or tasted by the waiter or cook before delivering to me!!! It's disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Execellent authentic Chinese food. We ordered beef with cashew, chicken fried rice, beef noodles, chicken with black bean sauce, prawn dish, and other dishes. It’s very tasty and beats London Chinese resturents. We only waited 30 mins which is normal as food cooked fresh. Please discard the negative reviews. Portions are big so maybe the can reduce the portions by 10% and reflect this on prices. We are going back next week for sure.

Absolutely amazing, incredibly fresh food and so tasty.The service was a bit slow but I'm sure it's because the food was prepared from scratch, as you could really taste is super fresh.I'll come back soon.

Waitress was very friendly & very helpful. Food was lovely, would eat there again.

It tastes really bad! International students in Ecun must not order this restaurant. It's really unpalatable.

Absolutely shocking. Only got 3 of the 4 starters. The other arrived after 20 minutes or so and was not as described. Only got 3 of the 4 rice dishes. Avoid if you want a nice meal

Restaurant was empty and still took half an hour for our first plate of food to arrive. Ordered a pint of coke came half full in a 400ml glass yet still charged us full price, 6 dishes came to £94, even though we didn’t have the rice we ordered when we left. Left me and my partner feeling sick

Darren Tompkins

Can’t rate this as never seems to be open. Think they need to change there opening times on google so I don’t for the 2nd time waste my time

Visited for dinner last night. I was the only person in the restaurant so the clues were there! Slow service. I was handed a tablet and told they only had a few things available (Around 15 items). After ordering a sprite which came in a warm can the dinner arrived. Food was acceptable as I was hungry. I had to move my own plate from the starter as the server wasn't going to. This was very expensive, dreadful service and very average food. I should have read previous reviews. I wouldn't visit again however hungry I was.

This is a fantastic Chinese restaurant in Exeter and deserves to do very well. Great location. Some reviews seem unfair - though the positive ones reflect the meal I had this evening as a fan of Sichuan food. Service was extremely friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. I asked to order from the authentic Chinese menu and had La Zi Ji (Sichuan Mala Chicken, 辣子鸡) and some soup. Please do ask for the alternate menu if you want to experience some real Chinese food as the more people order it, the higher profile it will have in the restaurant and this could be the best Chinese in Exeter. ?

Absolutely disgusting , frozen food which the waitress admitted to. Paid for drinks and walked out . Never have been to such a terrible Chinese. Avoid

Was hard work just to order and menu was on a tablet ,took 15 mins trying to order and just trying to get glass of water was difficult, ended up cancelling and leaving as I was dreading the food after such hard work trying to order, place looked very run down and messy, I certainly won’t be going back

Food was not well cooked, but rather expensive. A bowl of potatoes costs10 pounds, and a small piece of skewed lamb cost 2.5 pounds, but none of them taste fresh. The pork was a little smelly. There was no menu, and I had to look at their phone to order. When I went to the counter to pay, the waiter was playing computer games, who does not bother to stop, but ask others to serve me. Will not go again.
