Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to Wing Fong for the Chinese food itself, with several calling it the best in Barnstaple or North Devon and describing it as tasty, hot on arrival and reliably accurate. One reviewer travels from Braunton to collect, and another visits whenever back in town. Close behind are the staff, described as pleasant and welcoming, and the ordering, which many do by phone with home delivery. Reviewers mention delivery arriving promptly or within the usual time slot, and one praises the set dinner for 3, which fed four with leftovers. One notes the food is not overpowering on MSG. Another says the cooking has had ups and downs over the years but a recent order seemed exceptional, perhaps under a new chef. The one serious complaint comes from a long-time customer who ordered a mushroom omelette for a strict vegetarian granddaughter and received a chicken and mushroom omelette. The reviewer reports she was sick on discovering it, and says they will not order again.

“I have been using this take away for many years, only ever had 1 problem before, but tonight was the last time I will ever use them. I specifically ordered a "Mushroom Omelette" because my Granddaughter is a Vegetarian. I served everyone's meals up and gave it no thought, My Granddaughter screamed and was very soon sick on the front room floor, I had to help her and I asked what was wrong, She said "Look at what's in my food and what I'm eating" so I looked closer at her meal and was Shocked to see on closer inspection the "CHICKEN and Mushroom Omelette" She has been a strict Vegetarian for over 6 years; I can only imagine how bed she felt. I know mistakes can happen, but this was unreal. Disgusting service.”

“Ordered takeaway as we were visiting the area for the weekend, ordered through just eat cheap delivery charge and took 40 minutes, food was hot and delicious. We ordered the set dinner for 3 to share between 4 of us, more than enough food so we have leftovers for today!”

“Been using Wing Fong for years now we probably order every month or so. Just ring up no app required (you can pay on phone or cash on delivery). Never had an issue, order always accurate and tasty! staff polite, better food than some others in the area i would say. I would recommend them.”
