Hong Kong Chef

Hong Kong Chef on Exeter Road is a family-run Chinese takeaway at the edge of Braunton on the road toward Barnstaple. The kitchen operates Tuesday through Sunday with a menu of Cantonese staples — chow mein, sweet and sour, spare ribs, king prawn dishes — and has maintained a five-star food hygiene rating on its most recent inspection. Reviewers praise the generous portions, friendly service and the speed at which orders are turned around. The Exeter Road location sits at the edge of the village rather than the centre, giving it a slightly quieter setting but easy access from the surrounding countryside. Monday is the kitchen's rest day.
