Quick info
About Nice Spice 百味小廚
On Denmark St, Nice Spice 百味小廚 serves Cantonese cuisine from a small counter setup. Hong Kong-style roast meats anchor the menu, with the Roast Duck & Char Siu Double Combo Rice bringing both together in one dish. Beef Brisket Rice also appears as a recurring order. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. The restaurant opens every day except Wednesdays, and the counter can get busy, with a queue for a table forming at peak times.

“The food at this Hong Kong roast meat restaurant is absolutely delicious, and the quality is excellent. It can get quite busy, so it’s best to arrive early and queue for a table. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving authentic Hong Kong-style roast meats!”

“I came here with a friend and we ordered the Beef Brisket Rice and the Roast Duck & Char Siu Double Combo Rice. I can honestly say this is the best Hong Kong-style fast food I’ve had in Bristol. The roast duck and beef brisket were served piping hot, and everything was fresh, tender and juicy. The duck had crispy skin with succulent meat, while the beef brisket was soft, flavourful and melted in the mouth. The portions were generous and the rice went perfectly with the sauce. The food came out quickly, the quality exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be coming back many times. Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Hong Kong-style roast meat in Bristol!”

“For anyone looking for a quick summary of this review: unprofessional staff, poor service, and bad hygiene standards. I was quite surprised by the overwhelmingly positive reviews about service in this restaurant, as our experience was nothing like what we encountered. During our meal, we found an unidentified object in the food that looked very much like an insect. We understand it may not actually have been an insect and may have come from the pot, but either way, it simply should not have been in food served to customers. The staff’s response was even more disappointing. Rather than acknowledging our concern or attempting to handle the situation professionally, we were simply told that it was “normal” and came from the pot. The solution was simply changing the lettuce. There was no apology, no reassurance, and no genuine attempt to address the issue. The impression we were left with was that they did not believe there was anything wrong in the first place. To make matters worse, a large green fly was flying around throughout our meal and landed on our dishes. The staff eventually offered us a refund, but it was done with an attitude that made us feel as though we were causing trouble simply by raising a legitimate concern. We were told that flies were “normal” and beyond their control. While I appreciate that flies can occasionally get indoors, I do not think customers should be expected to accept them landing on their food as normal. It certainly did not leave us with much confidence in the restaurant’s hygiene standards. I don’t know whether the attitude we experienced was simply because the restaurant was busy or whether we were just unfortunate that day. I sincerely hope it is not the experience other customers receive. For balance, the duck rice itself was decent. Unfortunately, the attitude we experienced was far more memorable than the food, and it made for a very disappointing visit.”

“The best Siu Mei in Bristol. This shop has accompanied me when I was study at Bristol for a whole year. Not only good taste it carries to me, but the most important is the memory. I clearly remember the first month I came to Bristol, I felt so homesick. It seemed like everyday was hamburgers and subways. When my friend brought me to this shop, I really got some hope and tried to find more food from Bristol. During that year, I met lots of different friends and we always gathered here. Really appreciate a lot.”

“A Masterclass in Consistency: The Premier Cantonese Roast Culinary Experience in Bristol and Bath Constant long queues, early sell-outs of their signature roast duck, and a steady stream of takeaway patrons despite a full dining room all point to one undeniable fact: this establishment is officially the most popular Cantonese roast meat restaurant in the Bristol and Bath region. The venue excels in delivering high-quality, authentic flavors that remain remarkably consistent across every visit, all while maintaining an exceptionally reasonable and cost-effective price point. Although the restaurant does not provide dedicated parking facilities, its strategic location in the vibrant city centre ensures excellent accessibility via public transport. It comes highly recommended for both local residents and visitors seeking an authentic culinary experience.”

Customer Review Summary
Roast duck with crispy skin and succulent meat is the draw reviewers raise most, often ordered as rice dishes like the roast duck and char siu double combo. Close behind are roast pork that crackled when bitten, char siu one diner found succulent rather than dry, and a beef brisket rice described as soft and melting in the mouth. Reviewers also mention homemade sauces, food that arrives hot and quickly, and an HK milk tea alongside. Portions are called generous and prices reasonable, and one reviewer says it gets busy enough that arriving early and queueing for a table is best. The canteen-style seating is described as simple but comfortable. Criticism centres on service. Two reviewers describe impatient, unfriendly staff who answered a complaint by replacing only the lettuce or vegetables rather than the dish, and one says a refund was offered with an attitude. One adds that the food is not as good as it used to be, and another would prefer pak choi to the lettuce. Even the sharpest critic still called the duck rice decent.
