China Orchids - Cullompton

An absolute waste of £40+ The crispy duck chow mien was greasy, dry, tasteless, with only onions and bean sprouts, no other vegetables included. The starter (chicken, ribs and prawn toast) were over cooked and dry. I travelled 20 miles round trip to visit here because it used to be excellent, I can only imagine the chef had a night off and everything was pre prepped. A real let down

Used to really enjoy the food from here right down to the chips that were freshly cooked every time. Now your lucky to get edible chips and the quality of the food on the whole is not as it was. Unfortunately it's really gone down hill recently. We have given it the benefit of the doubt a few times as everywhere has a bad day but unfortunately its not improved. Corners are clearly being cut and its noticeable. Won't be ordering from here anymore. Such a shame.

I find myself writing again about the China Orchids, Cullompton but this time it is to review their take away service. I ordered a meal to be delivered very early on a Saturday evening hoping to beat the rush. It arrived exactly on time, hot and well packaged and the portions were generous and delicious. We felt that everything was freshly cooked the biggest crispy coated, tasty spring roll ever, superb chicken satay and chicken and sweetcorn soup. The star of the meal and a new experience for us was the mixed Malayan sambal and we are keen to try this again next time we order. Sadly the China Orchids restaurant is closed at present but they are maintaining their high standards via their take away service.

Disappointed to see it is no longer a restaurant and takeaway only.

Food came within half hour of ordering. everything we ordered arrived. It was hot and very tasty, large portions with decent prices
