Hong Kong Tea Bar in Portsmouth

Loved this place until the price started to increase bit by bit since last year. I understand a 50p increase for a dish to cover the inflation hike, but not almost £2. Also, the amount of food is definitively a lot less. This makes me very sad because I am not willing to pay over £10 for a dish in a tea bar that had a hygiene rating of 1 and now is awaiting inspection.

Lovely food as always! Although the portions have gotten smaller. I'm a frequent customer, and I've been seeing how much I've been spending here. Just 2 months ago, this placed was averaging 6.50 a meal, now a duck curry is £9. They claim inflation is the reason, although this would only force them to increase price to £1 max. Smells like squeezing some severe profits to me.They need to realise that for £9 someone can gain a much finer experience in a reputable establishment. But I will let time do the job, surely they can see their number of customers dropping. The place only has 2 tables full now, lol!

Use this resturant regular and have belly pork and rice food is amazing. People complain about the price rises. Visit your local asda tesco etc you will see prices rises every where. Will continue to use 🙂

Use to be a very good place to eat. The food was quite reasonable price... Then the owner changed... boom! The prices went up to quickly! Faster than you can eat! Crispy belly pork is my favourite... used to be £7+ with rice (this was after lockdown) now its priced as £10.50 + .50 for a rice... i ordered a water and its £1.50!😤 but labeled as softdrinks! Very disappointed on this place !

Had an epic feast down here last week, if you’re looking for the best and most authentic Chinese cuisine in Portsmouth this is the place to eat! The duck and pork dishes literally melt in your mouth. Pak Choi with garlic is sooo scrumptious!! Dumplings dipped in chilli oil is beyond tasty. The service in here is polite quick and very friendly. Also one of the owners is a very handsome man.

Great food nicely cooked very reasonably priced highly recommend

Heard great things about this place and travelled all the way to try it. But when I did, it was okay.The interior could really do with an upscale.The menu is quite large found it intimidating.Pro tip: Triple roast isn't called Triple roast here

Don’t know what happened to this place, new owners riding on the coat tails of the brilliant previous owners.£6.80 for half the normal portion and no rice. Uber eats does not say it doesn’t come with rice whereas it came with rice before.Called the restaurant very confused and asked to return the food as the value was incredibly poor for what we had paid, wouldn’t accept return or deal with the situation.Been eating at Hong Kong tea bar for 20 years this is the first time I’ve ever complained about them, the picture is a tea spoon, the container is half the size of before minus the rice that should come with it.Won’t ever be returning there again after the terrible customer service received.

08dec21: I am giving a review for the three delivery orders that I have had in the months of October and November 2021.I really enjoy the meal Beef Brisket with Dry Ho Fun, very flavorful. So yummy! I usually purchase two of this meal each time I order online from Hong Kong Tea Bar in Portsmouth. See photos below.The first time that I had ordered ever from this restaurant, I purchased and tried the Chicken in Honey Sauce, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Beef Brisket with Dry Ho Fun. My delivery arrived very quickly like less than 20 minutes. All of the food was good. But the Beef Brisket stood out to me (what I wrote above).The second and third times that I had ordered, just the two Beef Brisket meals, the delivery took much longer. One of my orders didn't arrive until almost two hours later (I had to call to find out where my order was, this was a Monday or Wednesday), which I had pre-ordered a little bit before the restaurant opened. So I am thinking that the Beef Brisket had to be prepared and cooked, maybe?I would have given 5 stars but the very late meal delivery will have me give 4 and a half for Hong Kong Tea Bar. And I will continue to purchase the Beef Brisket with Dry Ho Fun while I am in Portsmouth attending my MSc degree programme. :)

Food has always tasted great, it's cheap, cheerful and quick.......better than most delivered takeaways they have their own style and taste, I prefer their chow mein here than anywhere else
