  “Coming to this restaurant has ruined all other Chinese Restaurants for me. I can easily say that no other Chinese restaurant will come close to The Mandarin Fusion. Everything was cooked to perfection with the perfect blend of seasoning. I don’t write many reviews, but given the quality of the food and the attentive and friendly service here, the experience was exceptional and it was simply deserving of 5 stars.”

  “One of very few constants along the Old Christchurch Road. Been coming here for years (since the mid 1980’s) although these days only when I am that side of town, which is not as often as it used to be. But it’s always good to know that the Mandarin still exists. I dread the day that it disappears. The food has always been top notch in quality and taste and yes, in the last few years it has gotten expensive like everywhere else. But the experience of coming here makes for a pleasant evening with friends. The menu has remained a consistent pulling point and it remains the best in Bournemouth after its closest competitor closed quite some years ago.”

  “Had a lovely family meal for 10 adults & 3 children (including a baby). There are a number of banquet selections on the menu & 8 of our party opted for these. The price inc drinks came in just over £50 per person for this option. Other members paid £20-30 per person choosing from normal menu. The staff were very attentive & we spent a very relaxing 2.5 hours. The food was very good & I would definitely return if in Bournemouth again. Thank you for a lovely evening.”

  “This is one of our favourite restaurants, albeit we only visit when we are on holiday each year. The service is very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious. Especially, the lettuce lamb. Plus, all the dishes are reasonably priced. There are some minor improvements we’d love to see; - The honey roast pork with peanuts was dry and needed a sauce. - We ordered coconut rice and received plain rice. We keep coming back because of the service and the food.”

  “It was very good. We actually never eat Chinese food so decided to try it out as a one off and just to see how it was. It's a nice interior with great atmosphere and very friendly and welcoming staff. Food itself was served quickly and was all fresh and well made. Good portion sizes too we weren't sure if we would have to order more but we definitely didnt need to and in fact we struggled to finish it. The crispy shredded beef nest and the Singapore Noodles in particular were very good. Nice wine list and drinks menu too. I like they have made it an Asian fusion. It is primarily Chinese but some good Japanese, Mongolian and Thai dishes also on menu. Like I said we eat Chinese food maybe once every 2 years or so but would definitely return here and would very much recommend it to others we had a very enjoyable evening and we thought it was very reasonably priced too.”

  “Visited recently for a Christmas party. The food was lovely, the venue was pretty quiet for a weekend. Sadly that seems to be happening everywhere at the moment. Service was prompt but not with a smile. I really cannot fault the food but was disappointed the next day to look at my receipt and to see a service charge had been added. I really dont think this is a good way to do business, we are in the UK! When I payed my bill, I tipped £30 cash to the manager in his hand. I would have thought that would have been a perfect opportunity to tell me that the service charge had already been added. I did try to reach out to the restaurant on two occasions but have heard nothing back so it looks like I will just have to accept the loss. Sour ending to what was a lovely meal. I will always tip for good service and food but service charges should be banned. Check your bills people, this is a sneaky way to take even more money from diners. Looking at previous reviews it seems to be a regular occurrence. Shame as I have visted many times before but won't go again.”

  “We had the Veggie Feast for four and it was delicious. We have been there a number times over the past few years and it has always been the same i. e., excellent in all respects. By far the best Chinese restaurant in the BCP area. The service and pricing was great too.”

  “Yet again another lovey meal and experience at one of the best restaurants in Bournemouth. I’m so happy with the quality and quantity of the food. Kind, happy staff. Great recommendations and a calming, pleasant atmosphere. Thank you so much again to everyone who helped serve us. We will see you again soon (if not then we will be deliverooing within the month). Thank you for letting us take the left overs home and for our valentines treat at the end. 10/10 recommendation from us.”
