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.
Really enjoyed the food. Would have preferred the door to outside be closed from the outset to prevent inbound smoke but this was dealt with quickly when asked. Service a wee bit slower than previous visit but not an issue.
This was a great experience. The service was perfect, the food was beautifully presented and delicious!
The food was good, the plates were cold, the staff …no personality, they served the food…over all OK…!!!
Amazing food , great service , although can be a little loud
Absolutely amazing setting was great and service was very good
Amazing food Lovely staff Best Chinese I’ve ever had will be back soon
Could not fault anything. Will come again when we are next in Bournemouth.
Lovely food & great atmosphere would def go again when visiting Bournemouth
We had a very nice evening meal with friends at this restaurant. Authentic food and good service. Definitely will be back for more. Thank you very much.
Quality of food excellent. Good service. Thoroughly recommend. Best Chinese food in the area.
Amazing place! they charge more than the average Chinese/Asian restaurant...but you know why when you get the food and such good service. Fab ambience with friendly and efficient staff looking after us all the time... and will definitely be back for more!
Excellent in every way, staff, service and food m, value for money
Good food good service. They made especial effort for my wife's 70th birthday to bring a cake and a candle. Thanks
Great food, great service, good choice of wines and cocktails and always spotlessly clean.
Food was excellent service top class everything went to plan
Service is fantastic, only wish we could of kept our table for longer!!! Great cocktails and fab food.
Had the set meal for 4 and it was incredible.
From the minute we went in the door everything was perfect. Service surroundings and food and drink. Thanks for a superb experience.
Faultless experience once again. Oh how I missed this place over the lockdown. Superb restaurant!
We had dishes that we've never tried before on the meal for two, the food was excellent and so tasty. I asked a few questions regarding the dishes and was given good, honest answers. The food was of a high quality which was reflected in the price, some may find it expensive but I can honestly say it was worth it. I'm glad we booked a table as the tables were filling up quite fast.
Really decent food and at affordable prices, What a lovely restaurant, highly recommended.
Excellent food quality. Excellent service, Great staff. Lovely ambiance in the restaurant.
Great visit. Fabulous food. Well organised. COVID measures were all in place including taking temperature on arrival. Hand sanitizer and a one way system. Service was fabulous. A wonderful night
Fantastic food great service no waiting. Staff very friendly. Would recommended without hesitation.
Excellent food and great value lunch menu. Will definitely come again 👍
Excellent food and prompt service, covid protection very good - would reccommend!
Always enjoy 1805. Good food, good wine and good service.
Great place to celebrate my birthday. Bit expensive but hey ho Great socially distanced
Really nicely renovated and classy. Comfortable with the changes to make things COVID secure
The ambience was missing, a bit of a hollow space with no atmosphere however lovely food.
Another excellent meal. Great service made the evening perfect. Definitely my favourite Chinese restaurant bar none.
Lovely restaurant. Great owner. Staff could have been more attentive. Waiting a long time to order more drinks. Otherwise, food incredible and lovely cocktails !
Great food but understaffed so slow service. We would go again though
The restaurant had a a bit of a loud canteen feel to it. Very slow service, we waited half an hour for our drinks, asked 3 times for some prawn crackers which ended up coming after the starters arrived. The prawn crackers weren’t on the menu and they cost £7! We did complain at the end so they removed them from the bill and took off the service charge. We were disappointed as have been looking forward to trying this restaurant out but sadly we won’t be returning.
Great will be back again. Food is incredible great location and great atmosphere
Menu not as previously experienced, and we were sat on a table which was not the best position and felt like we were in the kids corner, but were a group of 5 adults. It was very difficult to hear each other. I did ask for a different table but was told it was the only option. The food was okay but not exceptional like the last time we went.
It's a good looking restaurant and friendly staff. The food was good but very expensive for what it is - fairly standard Chinese dishes. £91 for 2 people with a single drink each. Ouch. Service is added to the bill without warning. Hate that.
Good food. Restaurant was very busy. So service a bit slow. But minor impact on the evening. Would recommend.
good standard of food but a bit expensive. Nice enviroment with good service/staff.
