It's not in Truro but on the road to Porthtowan on the coast north of Truro, it's a secluded building along the roadside with parking, fairly easy to spot. Inside is very nicely decorated with a relaxed and refined atmosphere, there are little alcoves tucked away everywhere and the whole place has a real nice class to it. The food is all fantastic, we have been many a time and tried everything we could off the menu, it all comes sizzling hot with small heaters on the tables to keep your food hot while you eat. The staff are all incredibly friendly and the lighting of the place creates a really romantic atmosphere. It's also one of the few places where if we go we'll have a full three course meal. It can be on the pricey side, so we often leave it for a treat once or twice a year but it is really worth it and I would thoroughly recommend the Flaming Wok to any couples looking for a nice evening out, probably not that great for families or large groups.

What a surprise! I also got one of their specials - Halloumi Burger which was equally fresh and tasty. I highly recommend eating here. We did not have reservations, but the place fills up quickly since it's so close to the port Isaac harbor where most of the fishing scenes for Doc Martin are filmed.

Located yards from the port and from the fish market, you know your seafood is going to be fresh…read more I'm happy to tell you that the staff of The Mote know just how to prepare these raw materials to best bring out their flavors. They also excel at that delicate balance between doting service and just bringing food out. Being here early in the season meant we were first to be seated for dinner, but if you're going to be here during the height of the season, book ahead - like two weeks ahead. The fish and chips I ordered were the best I've ever had, with the mashy peas tasting fresher than their name deserves. The breeding on the fish was perfectly crispy, which meant the fish inside was steamed to perfection. My dining companion's white crab linguine was also a work of art. Generous chunks of crab were steeped in a rich sauce to adhere perfectly to the pasta. Fortunately, she couldn't finish the plentiful portion, so I was enlisted to help. It was a happy duty. We were recommended a local cider, which was tasty and snappy without being overly sweet. I opted for a Guinness, which, when activated with the ultrasound exciter, brought out the full flavor of the brew, as well as the rich texture. We interacted with at least four members of the waitstaff, and found them each charming in their own way. Friendly, flavorful, and fun. What more could you ask for in a dinner experience?

The food is nicely cooked, with an emphasis on delicate and unusual flavours- as their web site says, "No chips - No heavy batter - Just great Asian food". The service is friendly and when we went it was very quiet, but not in an embarrassing or awkward way. Criticisms: it is a little on the expensive side. Also, a portion of rice is far too small- a lot of Chinese restaurants give you enough rice for 2 people if you order 1 rice, but here, 1 rice is barely enough for 1 person. But these are minor criticisms of a generally lovely restaurant.
