Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant(Seaton) — Restaurant in East Devon

I was a little dubious after reading some of the bad reviews, but a combination of the close proximity to our campsite (Axmouth Caravan and Camping) being on foot and the good reviews meant we gave it a try and we were glad we did. All in all a very reasonable Chinese meal, which we ate on a bench on the front as the sun set behind us. We had the mixed starter, Singapore noodles, Hong Kong sweet and sour chicken, crispy chilli beef and complimentary prawn crackers. The mixed starter was very good, although the satay chicken was a little salty. The Singapore noodles were very tasty, a little hot for my girlfriend's liking but I thoroughly enjoyed them. Contrary to other review(s) the crispy chilli beef was indeed crispy, but in contrast to the Singapore noodles had very little heat and were maybe a little lacking in flavour. The Hong Kong sweet and sour chicken was exactly what I would expect but I would've liked a little more pineapple, but that's probably just personal preference. I'd say definitely...

If you like Chinese food, eat here. I instantly had flashbacks to China and Singapore and that distinct taste that comes from real knowledge and craft and precise ingredient choices. We had a set meal for two, which was more like a banquet! Decided to add on a soup and so glad we did. It was impeccable. Thick and full of chicken and flavour. The sweet and sour chicken was the best I have had in a long time, beating some from expensive London restaurants. Service was impeccable, friendly and welcoming. A classic decor inside welcomed the experienced diner and made us feel nostalgic and added to the experience. Vegetables were cooked to perfection, sauces delicious and full of flavour. Would definitely...

Unfortunately, restaurant was completely empty. I think I understand why. The place is absolutely freezing, the food was really poor and the staff were...lacking. The food was presented well but was either very greasy, tough or had the classic taste and texture of the meats from that well known frozen food place. Nor did the food actually taste nice. Despite hotplates, the room was so cold that the food was cold before it could be finished. The staff were young and distracted which made the meal less comfortable. The prices are extortionate compared to the quality of the food. Would recommend The Shed a few meters down the road for value for money and...
