Best Chinese in Bournemouth, pricey but worth it for the quality and flavours of the food!
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.
Great atmosphere and decor. Helpful and attentive staff and really great food.
Ive been going here for years. Always has been Fantastic!!!
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.
We loved it, food was excellent and service, we will be going again for sure.
Lovey food and atmosphere. An enjoyable evening out. Thoroughly enjoyable
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
I visit 1805 regularly and it never fails to impress.This is a charming experience and is by far the best chinese restaurant I know.
If you opened all afternoon and marketed this you could be absolutely packed in afternoons, best Chinese food!
Good attentive staff, the food was really great and the Chinese New Year Dragon Dance was fantastic and fun. Fully recommend 1805 if you're in Bournemouth!
Loved the set menu deal, variety of options to choose from. Ribs and chicken sweet corn soup was delicious.
Lovely food , quick service . Some food was forgotten and wasn't brought out . Would say a little over priced.
Simply perfect, would like to come again and I wish I can
Very enjoyable. Prices are a little high but food was delicious so overall very good
Great food very good service, atmosphere very friendly and relaxed, will definitely booking another visit
Fantastic food and the restaurant has a great style! Would definitely recommend.
Best Chinese restaurant I’ve had for a while. A bit expensive though
Lovely food, nice venue and friendly staff. Will be back
The food and service was very good but overpriced in my opinion.
The staff were very nice, I love the aesthetics very cosy and ideal for a this upcoming valentine day . The food was delicious 100 percent recommend this place.
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.
We had a really good time,food was great. Although a little pricey.
The food was incredible, well presented and really great service.
Lovely place, excellent food, great service, will be back !
Service was great and the food was amazing Expensive but worth every penny. Really enjoyed it. First time dining there but will definitely go back.
Family meet up the evening before a funeral Lovely meal Great service Sorry to keep staff after 10pm
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.
. Our Christmas work party . We had the set menu for 6 People This is the best Chinese by far . The food is so fresh and the flavours are amazing Thank you for a truly wonderful meal
Can't be faulted. We will come back again and again.
It was great , always enjoy our visit, the food and the atmosphere are always great and service is usually fine !
Food and service was very good. Good dining experience was had
The food and service were great. Very, very expensive though!
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.
Great meal. Been before but not for a while and very impressed on this occasion. Will return in the future!!
The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I love this restaurant!
