We used to order from The Yummy House years ago but hadn't for years (why?). We had a takeaway tonight and it was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection - piping hot, tasty and so satisfyingly yummy! And the delivery girl arrived 6 pm on the dot (the time we chose). The Yummy House is still as good today as it always was! I just wished I'd tipped, I had paid by card so totally forgot when at the door (next time!). We all enjoyed every mouthful! Best Chinese around in Exeter. We ordered again tonight - October 16th - for my sons birthday . We had a large order for 4. Again, simply fantastic. Everything was delicious, hot and cooked to perfection. The duck is phenomenal! We have loads left over for tomorrow (eyes bigger than bellies). I originally booked online (with Justeat) for 19:00 but then we realised we would like it sooner. One quick call to Yummy House and order changed to 18:00. Exactly 18:00 on the dot a very happy smiley man arrived holding a big box! Always prompt and courteous delivery. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the dishes had. We also made sure we had cash for a tip this time! Thank you again Yummy House :)

Great place. One of the best Chinese takeaways I've had. £19 for two meals and a side. All containers were packed to the brim, big portions. Biggest bag of (free) prawn crackers I've ever been given at a takeaway too. Staff were nice and the food came out very quick. Delicious food. Chow mein shrimp noodles super tasty, lots of shrimp. Pork with water chestnuts had loads of meat and veggies. Lastly, spare ribs had a delicious, thick sauce with a unique flavour and plenty of meat on the ribs. I was so full from the noodles I've left half for later and will probably have to eat the ribs and crackers for breakfast!

My favourite takeaway in Exeter. The aromatic duck is my go to and always hits the spot. They are always very pleasent when ordering in store or on the phone. Also the young lad that helps out is one of the most polite kids I've ever heard.

Very yummy! (Had to put it in somewhere sorry!) This is hands down one of the best chinese takeaways I've ever had (could be biased since I'm lying on my sofa belly still swollen) really enjoyed it, cannot reccomend the king do spare ribs enough they're incredible! Staff were also very friendly and the food was hot, will definitely be back soon!

Excellent choice! Polite, quietly efficient and I, in 15 years of using their services, have never known them make a mistake... Kasparov in a game of chess hasn't got that kind of concentration!...... they also have a terrific habit of being very conservative about their eta for home delivery, the result: Your food almost always arrives earlier than promised if only by a few minutes but, I've never known, either, a late or:, and this finishes my review other than my summary, a mildly less than hot meal after opening... I've had time to nip to the kitchen, make a pot of tea and get back in a totally leisurely, almost uncaring fashion, to find my food hot flavourful and a joy to settle into... verdict: My Chinese take -away of choice in Exeter!... no! lets not be mean in the whole of Devon!

oi this is hands down the best Chinese takeaway in Exeter (it's actually the best Chicken & Black Bean sauce I've ever had in the UK as well but that's just my opinion, that chix so tender & juicy and MOIST - absolute BEAUTY). 10 x Spring Roll actually a bargain as well and great tastez. Great service I swear down the dude who cooks it also delivers it himself sometimes he is my hero - The whole time I've lived in Exeter I've lived very close to many other Chinese takeaways and I've always gone out of my way to go here because these bois (and girls) know whatz up - TRUST ME - if you're too far away it's worth dat drive <3 pls checkthe jpg I uploaded it shows that you can in fact see Yummy House from outta space it's that huge - p.s. don't use Just Eat coz Yummy House will lose money I reckon and they're easy to deal with on the phone. Keep it old skool and classy folks

Best Chinese takeaway I've ever had. Staff are friendly and nice. Wait time isn't too long. Only downside is they only take card payments via just eat now but there is a cash point fairly close by.

Had an issue with Just Eat where the driver was left waiting for half an hour as Just Eat didn't pass along my number. The driver kindly waited and the food was tasty.
