Reviews Summary
Tyepyedong is celebrated for its consistently delicious Asian fusion cuisine, generous portion sizes, and exceptional value for money. Diners rave about the friendly and efficient service, making it a go-to spot in Exeter. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some found specific dishes like the tempura or stir-fried noodles to be less authentic or flavorful than expected, with one reviewer noting unusual sauce pairings.
"We have already been a couple of times to this restaurant and both have been great experiences. The food is very tasty and the portions are generous. We quite enjoyed the beef fried noodle for two. and soup noodle. All the meats were perfectly cooked and tender, as well as flavourful. The waiters are very attentive and they had a very nice.The price is more than reasonable for the quality of the food and the portions. One of our favourite restaurants in Exeter and we can’t wait to come back."

"I was really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. The tempura was served with sweet and sour sauce, which was quite unusual and didn’t pair well at all. The coat is traditional British fish and chips coat rather than real tempura. The stir-fried noodles were also disappointing - mostly filled with cheap ingredients and lacked authentic flavour (too salty). Overall, I felt the food quality didn’t match the price. Quite a letdown, especially for someone familiar with authentic Asian cuisine."

"Have walked many times past here - always busy. Finally had the opportunity to eat here, and so glad we did
Friendly service with a smile, and great quality food to boot. There is an extensive menu to suit all tastes, and the fact they serve hot sake is a godsend.
If you're looking for a place that serves a filling noodle dish at a reasonable price, then look no further than Tyepyedong."

Tyepyedong – Can´t spell it, can’t pronounce it but they do have a great selection of ramen – with all kinds of noodles. I recommend the spicy coconut, number 122.
