East Of The Water Chinese

Terrible bland food, made me physically Ill. I was 10mins late picking up as I was stuck in traffic. I rang ahead to tell them but they charged me an extra £10 for the privilege! It was only a £30 order!! I was told this was because they had to keep it warm…. There has to be a better takeaway in the area. I wont be going back here if I’m staying in the area again…

Been a while since I have visited and I'm informed there has been a change in ownership. For the prices charged portion sizes seemed small and it just all felt a little rushed; a sit down takeaway feeling if I can express it as such. Last actual takeaway from here was excellent, the in dining experience less so.

AWFUL BLAND GREASY phone constantly ringing, poor, slow service, WORST chinese I have EVER had. Basically disgusting!!!! Mmmm nice greasy chicken plate #puke

My brother and I were so impressed with the food here that we went back two evenings later. The staff were very pleasant, good menu and the food was excellent. The prices were also quite reasonable so, if you're in Bideford and fancy a Chinese, it won't be a wasted journey if you pop across the bridge to East The Water, just a short walk from the Royal Hotel. There's not a huge amount of indoor seating though so best to make a reservation.

I ordered a Takaway from this restaurant this evening. The lady on the phone was very polite, helpful and knew the menu. It was delivered 20 minutes before expected which was good however sadly the food was very disappointing dispite an hours wait and not at all worth the £16.50 I paid for it. I ordered chicken and sweetcorn soup which was nice and as I would expect (no added artificial sweeteners) When it came to the main (Singapore Veg Rice Noodles) The presentation was poor and dull. The brochli was cooked well with a bite however the noodles were a dull brown colour and there wasnt enough vegetables. Not much flavour. I only saw the odd tiny bit of pepper. I threw it in the bin after a few mouthfuls. Then I had a side order of spare ribs without bbq sause. Barely any meat, dry and very fatty. I wouldn't even feed this to my cat! Won't be ordering from here again unless significant change happens.Harringtons – believe in quality
