Quick info
About Little Asia
On the high street in Totnes, Little Asia is a small South East Asian restaurant at 46 High St. The menu spans Chinese, Hong Kong and wider South East Asian cooking, so one table can order from several regional styles. Crispy squid and Singapore vermicelli noodles are among the dishes on offer. The owner works front of house and her son is the chef, which keeps the kitchen and the dining room in the same family's hands. Regulars are greeted by name. The menu also lists Cantonese sweet and sour pork.

Customer Review Summary
Curries draw the most repeat praise. One loyal customer names the Thai green and red curries as a favourite, and another pairs curry with duck pancakes. Close behind are king prawns with sweet and sour sauce, Cantonese sweet and sour pork, Singapore vermicelli noodles and crispy seaweed, all described as delicious. Friendly staff come up repeatedly, and takeaway and delivery earn regular mention, including hot food brought to a holiday cottage out in the countryside. The recurring complaint is value. One reviewer found the ginger and spring onion king prawn tub only half full and the bill higher than the online menu showed, with not even free crackers. Another calls the rice overpriced and says the crispy squid sometimes arrives overcooked. Still, one diner describes the owner greeting regulars by name while the phone kept ringing with takeaway orders.
