China Orchids

I never write a review as I always address face to face give you the opportunity to make good, but...One of the most vile tasting Chinese takeaways I have ordered. We had chicken satay which was a thick gelatinous bland tasteless sauce in my book not chicken satay at all , the crispy beef was again in a thick gelatinous vinergrey sauce the beef was tough and soggy as so much sauce and the Yung chow mein again bland and very cheap cuts of meat which reminded me of spam. I called them say I was unimpressed spoke to the owner who apologised and basically told me they have many happy customers and never had complaint about their food as they have always had same chef and cooked like this for years. If this was a restaurant I would have not eaten it and refused to pay. This was a Saturday night treat I will never make mistake again and in future avoid the China orchid in cullompton not that they cared anyway.

Best place to order Chinese Takeaway! Although a tad expensive, it's worth paying the premium over the competition! Indoor seating area however was first closed due to Covid and is remaining closed for the foreseeable.

The pancake rolls... You can't beat them. The best around (maybe because they're batterd) Tho I'm afraid everything else just tastes the same I ordered the house special with rice, king prawns with cashew nuts, and salt and pepper king prawns. The prawns were as bland as anything and definetly no salt and pepper on them, and both the other dishes came in a container FULL of onions and carrots cooked in the same sauce! . No flavour what so ever. Will not be ordering again.
