A very tasty meal but rather expensive. Will go again as the food was lovely but will leave for a special occasion.

The food is good, though not excellent, and it's overpriced for the portion sizes. Two of our three main dishes came with mushrooms that were not stated on the menu; we wouldn't have minded if it had been just a few but the mushrooms made up about a third of each dish so a large proportion we, as non-mushroom-eaters, were unable to eat. The staff did not seem particularly concerned when we reported this; they suggested we should have sent the dishes back but this seems like an extreme reaction, not something I would consider doing unless I were unable to eat any of the dish. We may have ordered a dessert if we hadn't been abandoned for 25 minutes once they cleared our plates away. I probably won't be going back, but if I do I'll be sure to ask if my chosen dishes can have the mushrooms omitted.

services good, nice restaurant, bar and toilets. Booking at 8.30pm and after discussing and deciding what to eat because of food allergies it took a little longer than usual to choose. Not alot of atmosphere in restaurant with no music (unless it was on low sound) and just the sound of people talking. Felt rushed as we were still eating starters when the duck and pancakes came out. Table was being cleared as we were finishing our mains course. As soon as we had finished eating we were given the bill and 5 minutes later they came around for payment even though 10 minutes earlier we had just got another £38.00 bottle of wine. Toilet doors were open and no lights on in then as it was clearly them saying its time to go. It was 11pm. Would not return although food was good but food and drinks expensive and with being rushed. Staff were good.

I was charged £170 for four drinks and a set menu of £38 each ( 2 of us ). They changed the prices of the set menu on the day. Then was clearly told I’d been had.

We visited 1805 on my son's recommendation for our colleagues' 60th Birthday celebration. On entering the restaurant, it felt lovely, warm, and welcoming. We were greeted, and our coats were taken to hang. A nice touch. We all had our own personal starters, prawn toast, shredded chicken and vegan duck pancakes which were all flavoursome & scrumptious, followed by a rice, chicken wok noodles sweet & sour chicken and beautiful wok beef in a divine sauce and was enough for us 3 to share. On finishing the lovely staff brought over a piece of lemon cheesecake, complete with candle and a song! for our 60th birthday friend! Which was such a lovely thing to do. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and everything was perfect! Thank you

After visiting a lot of Chinese cuisine restaurants in Bournemouth and Poole, I found the best finally…. 1805 is as authentic as the food back in Hong Kong, the service is quick, the ambience is outstanding, the pricing is on point and the wine selection is good.

I was a bit disappointed that a part of my order was missing; I’d ordered egg fried rice for my daughter and one for myself but only hers arrived. The waiter offered to fetch some but I already had my Singapore vermicelli at this point and didn’t know how long it would take so I declined. Also I think that £6.50 for a bottle of water is excessive as is £6 for a small bottle of Asahi lager. The food was top notch and the restaurant itself is beautiful.

A lovely restaurant, friendly and attentive staff. We chose the set meal the food tasted lovely but felt that the quantity was not great. The Duck and pancakes were cold on arrival.. we felt had been waiting for us to finish our starter.. we told the staff and it was brought back to us warmer, yet the duck was even drier. Although a lovely restaurant we would not rush back.
