Golden Bowl in Portsmouth

Friendly place, tasty food, best Chinese food in Portsmouth

One of the best Chinese food on whole South Coast!Thank you auntie!From Cat ,Ana and RobertI came back every time I want someone authentic was ern taste. I cannot wait the place to open again not just st for take away.

Delicious and amazing! One of the rare Chinese takeaways that serves fantastic authentic homemade Cantonese delights like crispy pork and soft belly pork with picked mustard veg ( unavailable at most other regular Chinese takeaways). Huge portions, extensive menu, don't be fooled by the small shop front! Speedy delivery, friendly efficient staff, I am extremely happy as a repeat customer!

This was not a good experience. We have used this place twice. The first time was nice, but the second time was terrible and we will never use them again. We live around the corner from this takeaway, but it took 1 hour 30 mins to get our food. I called three times, only to be told it was on its way. I said I lived around the corner, but they kept making excuses. You have to pay for delivery, which is unusual as we had spent £60 and the food is not that good value. When it eventually arrived the food was warm and not great quality.

The family and I have been going here since it opened many years ago. The food quality has gone down slightly over the years, we have noticed that a lot of the dishes are now padded out with a lot of onions and celery (it’s cheap) whereas it wasn’t before but it is still one of the better Chinese cafes in the city.There is a whole ‘authentic Chinese’ menu at the back which is now translated into English thankfully as I can’t read Chinese, order from this menu as it’s a massive step up from the boring takeaway rubbish of sweet and sour, chicken chow mein etc.Get the curry or satay brisket, the whole fried fish, pork knuckle or any other dish from that menu, you won’t be disappointed.Also there is generally a lot of Chinese people/students eating in which is always a sign that the food is good.Small and slightly cramped seating area but perfectly adequate to get some food.

Loved the Chinese decorations on the walls. I had requested an extra spicy meal but it wasn’t as spicy as expected. Customer service was okay.

Friendly staff and owner, yummy food, fair price , our favourite place to eat Chinese food in Portsmouth

Although very tiny restaurant, the food was great and were really generous with the portions that we had it as a take out. Also their honey, ginger tea is delicious.

The Chinese lady that runs this place explained why it is so good. She started it so that Chinese people away from home, students and such, have a place to eat which is just like going home and having a home cooked meal from their mothers and fathers.

The best Chinese food I've ever had in the area! The curry beef in the second picture is out of your imagination.
