Taste Of The Orient

Taste of the Orient is a Chinese takeaway on Cowick Street in the St Thomas area, one of several independent Chinese shops on this long residential high street west of the River Exe. The menu covers the standard British-Cantonese range — fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour dishes and the familiar supporting cast of starters and sides. It serves a residential catchment that includes the communities of St Thomas and Exwick, and collects and delivers into the surrounding streets. Research on major review platforms yields thin results, suggesting a quietly dependable local trade rather than a destination kitchen. A neighbourhood Chinese with a long-standing presence on one of Exeter's busier suburban high streets.
