Hotcha

Hotcha is a Chinese-style takeaway on Sidwell Street in central Exeter, operating under a national brand that positions itself at the quality end of Chinese fast food. The menu covers noodles, rice dishes, aromatic duck and a range of Chinese-inspired dishes available for delivery and collection. TripAdvisor reviews — nine in total, averaging 2.0 — are divided, with the most common criticism being dishes that skew excessively sweet. Noodles draw the warmest mentions from reviewers who enjoyed their visit. The brand's website and marketing are polished, which sets expectations that the Exeter outlet's reviews suggest are not always matched. The Sidwell Street location has strong competition nearby.
