The 1805 is one of our go-to restaurants in Bournemouth. The food never disappoints. The service can be a little patchy but not so much as to spoil the evening. The only downside are the acoustics which can produce high noise levels if the restaurant is full.

We didn't go. The restaurant rang and asked us to come early because they wanted to close at 9pm. We cancelled. Went to Tiien Thai around the corner instead, which was excellent.

The gent on the door did not greet us warmly or even smile. Our table, pre booked was not set for 3 and the very young. Clearly inexperienced but pleasant waiter should not have stacked our used and dirty plates in front of us at the table, scraping food on to one plate, cutlery etc. Very unprofessional and unhygienic. More training requied

We had to wait 20 mins for a drink and in the end helped ourselves to water from the bar. Not a good experience especially in the heat. Glad to say the food was amazing as ever.

have been many times, however the only fault is that the food is generally served on cold plates/platters! this does not compliment hot food and disappoints the experience. And this time we were given plates instead of the usual bowls, which don't assist the use of chop sticks. Other than that it was very good.

5/5 stars! We had an absolutely delightful dining experience at 1805! The moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff, who showed us to our cozy table. The ambiance was peaceful and inviting, with a gentle hum of conversation and the tantalizing aromas of savory dishes wafting from the kitchen. We began our meal with the egg fried rice, which was cooked to perfection - fluffy, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. But the real showstoppers were the special fried rice with beef in black pepper and the smoke chilli chicken. The beef was tender and juicy, infused with a rich, peppery flavor that complemented the rice beautifully. And the smoke chilli chicken? Absolutely divine! The combination of spicy and smoky flavors had us craving more with each bite. Throughout our meal, the staff were attentive and courteous, refilling our drinks and checking in on us with a smile. The service was top-notch, making us feel like valued guests rather than just customers. Overall, our experience at 1805 was a true delight. With its tasty food, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere, this is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine. We can't wait to return and try more of their delicious dishes!"

Het is een prachtig restaurant, we werden bijzonder vriendelijk ontvangen. Wat hebben we lekker gegeten, alle gerechten zo mooi van smaak!! Absolute aanrader!!! Het enige wat stoorde was de te harde hedendaagse muziek en dat terwijl er zulke mooie achtergrond bestaat

Cold food as it had clearly been sitting somewhere. When finally hot food was received we were asked to finish as restaurant was closing , whilst still eating the now late food. Then had the indignity to add service, which needed to be rejected.
