Description

While some establishments, like Happy Garden, have left patrons disillusioned with missing items and consistently poor quality, others shine. Menu items like the crispy aromatic duck often disappoint, lacking the expected crispness and flavor. On the other hand, On Bong has stirred outrage for serving non-vegetarian options to customers ordering from the vegetarian menu, compounded by unsettling customer service experiences. Yet, hope remains in the form of quality alternatives. A promising takeaway in the area consistently impresses with freshly cooked, flavorful dishes, friendly staff, and great value, restoring faith in local Chinese cuisine for visitors and residents alike.

This Chinese takeaway is excellent. The staff are consistently friendly, orders are taken quickly over the phone, and they always let you know how long it will be before your food is ready. The food is freshly cooked and hot when you pick it up. It's delicious and there's plenty of it, making it a great value. I especially enjoy the chef's specials, like The Four Seasons. We no longer need to go into Exeter for a good Chinese meal.

We always order the crispy aromatic duck at Happy Garden, but unfortunately, they seem to not understand what "crispy" means. It shouldn't be soggy and oily with no flavor. Despite not being a cheap appetizer, they have consistently gotten it wrong recently. We thought it might have been a one-time mistake, but after three tries, it's clear that they consistently miss the mark.

Happy Garden has unfortunately failed to satisfy many of its customers. On a recent visit, we ordered food to go and returned home to find it was missing many items. After contacting the restaurant, we were offered either a refund or the option to go back and collect the missing items. This was disappointing, especially considering we had spent £50 on food for a birthday celebration. To make matters worse, this was not the first time this had happened in the past month. Getting a refund does little to make up for a ruined evening meal. Overall, our experience was a complete disaster.

I was eating my Chinese when something crunched in my mouth, it was like grit, found what looked like glass!!!! Called and they said I could have a free meal but I wanted a refund, drove back up and the person who I think was in charge tried to say it was the plastic from the container, sorry but plastic does not crunch like grit in your mouth, he wasn't even gonna refund me for everything until I demanded, and tried to get out of it and never apologised, I will never eat here again

Visiting from Cornwall for 8weeks and this place as given me back confidence in Chinese food. Freshly cooked to order and great tasting large dishes. Keep up the great work guys .... by far the best takeaway on the high street and trust me I have tried them all In two weeks. Most are well below average but this place has my order every time.
