The New Gourmet

We went in without any expectation and were genuinely surprised by its amount and quality. I asked for spicy sauce and the owner gave us a bowl full of it. The meal was totally worth the price and the wait. My friends and I had a great time and we left satisfied.

They don't speak much Chinese. The setting is basic. Cafe style. Row of tables and stools to sit on.

Food is exceptionally good. Good portion size and tasty.

Good and cheap.

If only they would do more vegetarian food. It would help if they spoke better English as I have managed, with difficulty, to get them to make vegetarian dishes for me.

These littke eating places dotted around Exeter City serve the many Chinese University students well.

Picture is of Vegetarian spicy tofu and spicy vegetables.

Cooking time is quite a while but it's worthy! The quality is even better than most of the restaurants in Hong Kong because of the rice noodles in wide strips. The soup going with the noodles is good and the beef tendon is very tender and tasty. Priced £6 seems a bit expensive but the proportion is very large for one person. The shop keeper is always nice.

Best Chinese takeaway around. That is not a compliment. It's' the only one.

Disgusting service and food. Stood at the counter for about 10 minutes while the staff seemed to be having a casual chat. My existence was eventually acknowledged with a scowl. Kung Po duck was largely just celery. Barely any meat or other vegetables, just celery and sauce. I guess it's cheaper than cooking properly. I wonder if their preferred clientele get the same treatment.

Normally I would rate this restaurant 5 stars but recently it has gone down hill. The last three occasions something has been wrong with our order, this final time we rang the restaurant and had to have our food returned as it was the wrong order and cold. We were then barred from the restaurant but we did receive a refund. The customer service is shocking, the person on the phone was rude and brash, then two men came to my door to give myself the money back, it was £17! I find the need for two men to come to the door intimidating. We were also nearly docked £4.50 for eating 4 dumplings all of which were cold and chewy as they had only been steamed rather than fried at the end. Awful, awful, awful, such a shame tho as this place honestly used to be the best in Exeter.

Went to try the hot pot with my fiancee. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. Lots of interesting toppings to choose from. I couldnt identify most of it which was really cool. I highly recommend the hot pot and for toppings I loved the fish balls, beef balls, tofu skin and tofu knots. Don't be scared, go in and have a go, you will love it!

Bizarre place -- almost empty and has no signage up. I only found out the restaurant name by looking for the spot on Google maps. Food is a typical portion size and blandness for Exeter, but slightly cheaper than other places, which is great

amazing food with a pretty good price
