Probably the best Chinese I have ever had. Superb. And the service was exceptional.
Delicious food, amazing cocktails and beautiful restaurant. Service very good too
Food was amazing and staff were lovely and helpful really enjoyed it
Amazing food as always. Great Chinese and excellent service. Will be back soon.
The food is very nice and the setting just right. It isn't the cheapest restaurant in Bournemouth but certainly worth a visit on occasions.
Very noisy restaurant, couldn’t hear the person next to me. Then we had a 45 minute wait for food after the starter. When that arrived, the lamb chops were smallest portion of food I’ve ever seen & were very expensive. The saviour was the veggie duck! Overall very disappointed. There are better places.
It was great , restaurant was full of atmosphere, great service and fabulous food , will definitely return .
Fantastic food and great service, I would recommend this restaurant
Love this restaurant. Service and food both fantastic. Will definitely return.
Greeted warmly before being shown to our table. It was my birthday and that was acknowledged by all the staff. We had the set lunch menu and added an extra dish which was no problem at all. The wine choice was difficult because of the good choice and reasonable prices. The food as always was exceptional the Kung Po prawns were amazing. The service was perfect and although it was lunchtime we weren’t rushed. The little birthday dessert with a candle was a lovely surprise and treat. When we visit Bournemouth we usually visit 1805 and we will continue to. The best Chinese restaurant for us.
Great! Excellent food and staff were great too. Expensive but worth it
Best sweet and sour chicken and sweet and sour pork we have both had for a long time, delicious!
Too dark sat just other side of partition by the ‘lion’ Food tasty but pork in lychee wine went cold very quickly. Service ok but no one asked if we would like dessert or coffee. Went and asked for menus ourselves.
Excellent experience. Booked restaurant as it was walking distance from our hotel. What a find! Felt well looked after ftom the minute we walked in. Food more expensive than what we are used to, but the quality justified the price. It was coming up to Chinese New Year. We were even treated to a Dragon Dance! Highly recommend.
Food was average the prices were ridiculous with a small piece of sea bass cooked in honey costing £55
Tasty food, as always, great service and friendly staff. Can't wait to go back.
Staff were very welcoming. Food was delicious. Atmosphere and decor were lovely.
Excellent food. Really gaod service. Well worth paying that bit more than other Chinese restaurants. Good atmosphere too
Amazing Chinese cuisine. I was treated to a birthday dinner by my partner. He is fussy with food but we both thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. A bit pricey so good for special occasions. 10/10 will recommend
Great restaurant and some of teh best Chinese food I've eaten in England
A little expensive and lacked atmosphere. Not sure if we'd consider going back.
Restaurant looks lovely. Awkward to find parking so in summer it's quite expensive! Food delicious if somewhat on the expensive side. Lovely for a special occasion. My honest opinion is it felt we were being rushed and the service which was added onto the bill automatically wasn't that good and that is why I have given it this review. A few tweaks and it would be amazing!
Every single dish was amazingly tasteful. We r coming back for sure
Fathers Day evening. 1805 didn’t disappoint yet again. Very good service and excellent food. See you again soon,
Food was amazing! Portion sizes were good as sometimes you worry for the price but no really good portions. I love the cloakroom facility I was just a bit worried when we were leaving to pick which coat was ours maybe need to add in table numbers or something so coats don’t go missing
Lovely food, good quality ingredients, good service and clean restaurant.
Celebrating joint birthdays on a Saturday evening, the staff were very rude with poor customer service skills. We were rushed to order food when we hadn’t even received our drinks. Style over substance. Would not recommend unless you want to be told to be quiet and hurried in and out of the doors. Expensive and slightly disappointed with the whole experience.
Fantastic restaurant, food and surroundings first class. I’m was very noisy but it was full. Food came through quickly but we got forgotten after main course. Overall lovely evening would definitely recommend and will be coming back.
Very nice place and lovely ambiance, my only criticism is the set meals are a little over priced
Fabulous amazing staffs, service was great , definitely will go again
Food was nice but the prices are insane for what you’re actually getting! The restaurant was nice and clean but we were seated between two jam packed tables so we couldn’t even hear one another. Definitely could do with organising the seating better and maybe adjusting their prices slightly
As always the food was amazing. Only 2 gripes one of our waiting staff was chewing gum and there was a service charge added. I like to tip independently and they would have had more. Oh well. We will return.
Excellent food & great service but certainly expensive; you get what you pay for
Lively atmosphere and great food. We will be back!! A brilliant evening out.
We enjoyed our meal but the food is expensive compared to most local restaurants.
We love the decoration, food and services there. We will visit it again.
Fantastic food. the Chinese cooking and service ios as good as the best I have been to in London
Lovely dinning atmosphere and very friendly staff. Dishes served are always scrumptious.
Very good food , decor, service but staff devoid of personality.
Beautiful place. Friendly staff and the decor is breathtaking and food was out of this world. Tasty and cooked to perfection
Amazing restaurant. Best Chinese we have ever had. The actual restaurant is decorated amazingly as well. Do not hesitate to go.
This Chinese is by far the best we have ever been to. Excellent service, excellent wine and above all, outstanding food; another level! Highly recommended!!!!
Amazing food, beef was flawless. Some better set menu deals would be helpful
The food here is great and the atmosphere is modern and clean. Prices are on the high side, and whilst the large presentation dishes look nice, some tables just aren’t big enough to cope with them. Eating dishes are tiny and food inevitably drops on to the table. Service is sadly hit and miss, with little interaction from some of the team. Overall, a good place to visit, they just need to be more upbeat and have some fun with their guests.
Excellent food was first class and we had a very enjoyable evening
Food and staff amazing. Would have been one smile bigger if not for a queue. Made me feel a bit like a teenager waiting to get into a nightclub! One dish forgotten but swiftly rectified. I think for couples a week day would be better as it's such a big place it was very loud. For a party perfect.
good food a bit expensive but central Bournemouth so expected.
One of the finest Chinese cuisine. Very beautiful ambiance and decor, amazing, polite and friendly staff. Great service. We will dine again for sure.
As an ex Hong Konger one always goes to a restaurant in England that professes to sell Chinese food with trepidation. Well I can tell you the food here is brilliant. We thoroughly enjoyed our selection of dim sum. We even had wagyu beef Cheung fun, something I’ve not had in Hk! The pecking duck (1/2 portion) was very good, though the skin could have been a tad crispier. Service was efficient and professional. Very happy.
The food was great and the service was efficient, atmosphere was good if a little loud as the decor lacks any soy furnishing to absorb the noise. Only real downside was getting the waiting staffs attention to pay the bill, had to go to the counter in the end after 10 mins of trying to wave someone over.
