Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the friendly staff and quick, freshly cooked food, with the curry sauce and crispy chicken balls named as the reason one family travels in from Cranbrook. Several call it the best Chinese in Exeter, and one says the special chow mein arrived still hot after a phone order. A long-time customer who has gone for most of their life says the quality matches an average price, while others describe the pricing as very reasonable. Service is repeatedly described as fast and welcoming, and one reviewer notes the staff are honest about how long the wait will be. The one critical review describes a roast pork chow mein with no sauce, dry and without flavour, and crispy duck with rubbery meat and a lot of fat. That reviewer found the rice fine and the curry sauce fine but very runny, and says they won't return. Even so, the same reviewer rated the service as good. Among the positive accounts, the closing detail is the hot, freshly cooked food that arrives quickly.
