Quick info
About Rickshaw Boy
Rickshaw Boy is a Chinese takeaway in Paignton, found at 53 Roundham Rd. The menu runs to 155 dishes, which gives a table of friends or a household plenty of choice across one order. Spare ribs take up a large part of it, with five varieties: barbecue, honey, Cantonese, salt & chilli, and sweet & sour. Anyone who wants a rib dish can pick the flavour that suits them rather than settling for a single version. A Spring Roll sits on the list as a lighter side to go alongside a main. The business is classed as both a Chinese takeaway and a Chinese restaurant, and the cooking stays within Chinese cuisine from start to finish.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split on quality. The Thai style king prawns are called big and full of flavour, with friendly, fast service and a kitchen where food is cooked in view. Others praise the chips and curry sauce. One reviewer found the crispy chilli beef sauce sickly like ketchup, the seaweed fishy and the chips soggy, and was told that is how the dish is made.

“Food quality has dropped recently - no more for me.”

“Really poor standard of food! The crispy chilli beef was litterally a bottle of ketchup with crispy beef. The beef itself was OK maybe more batter than beef but that is something i can live with, the sauce on that hand was terrible amd sickly. I called before I reviewed in the hope it was a mistake but they explained to me that's just how it is. The chicken was similar. The seaweed was really fishy and the chips soggy. The salt and chilli chips that I ordered with extra seasoning was under seasoned. Its a shame when we visit the area often but so easy for them to loose potential custom. Ive eat this dish In so many different Asian takeaways and this is up there with the worse. Tomato ketchup beef should replace crispy chilli beef just for transparency. Also worrying hiw fast it can. It was here in 25 mins and the place is 10 minutes. Just hope hope things arnt pre cooked and slapped together, with ketchup ofcourse.”

“I decided to give this chinese a try, and I wasn't disappointed. Food was delicious. I got the Thai Style King Prawns and Egg fried rice. The prawns were big and very tasty, full of flavour. The service was friendly, professional and fast. I love how you can see the kitchen and your food being cooked, it gives it a transparent feeling. 10/10 will be going here again in future!”
