  “Food is average but decent, nothing to complain about. The drinks are genuinely amazing, easily the highlight. I regularly bring international friends here and they always struggle because most of the staff can't communicate in English well. We're in the UK, so even for a Chinese restaurant, it's worth adapting a little more for the local crowd. That said, there is one staff member who works Sundays who speaks very good English. Might be from the US. Her service is fast, she's far more friendly and always smiling compared to the other workers, and she handles everything with such ease that I sometimes wonder if she even realises how much she's carrying. For a part-time role, the workload she's given is clearly way too much, she's being overworked. A few kind customers and someone from the kitchen occasionally help out, which is nice to see, but it really shouldn't come to that. No human being should handle drinks, cashier, menus, food, tables, and karaoke, while still answering phone calls, taking reservations, and managing deliveries, all alone. It's painful to watch. They also have a guy working part-time who can speak English, talked to him, he doesn't work as fast as her, but he's pretty cool. I heard they changed ownership. I liked the old management better, they had a decent number of workers and the overall vibe was better. The food and ambience were better in the old days too. A lot of my friends now only want to come on Sundays or when the beautiful part-timer is working, because honestly the service is only consistently good on those days. The WiFi signal in the karaoke rooms is terrible. Needs fixing. Overall: come on Sundays, order the drinks, and tip your server well.”

  “This place used to be good but has gone downhill. Some months ago (think with ownership change) they started saying their card machine was broken and had to pay with bank transfer. It is now months later and they are still saying to pay by bank transfer, refusing to take card, and using different bank accounts. What restaurant does this in 2026? Super odd, feels super dodgy. wont be going back. Rip Tipsy.”

  “Had a range of issues with service, food coming out at odd times, with half finished before the rest got their food; only being told 30 mins after ordering that they didn't have two people's food so even longer wait to get anything to eat, etc. Raises the issues, refuses to offer anything but 10% discount, had a whole mess with them saying we could have free drinks then staff backtracking saying they'll give us 1 bottle of juice. Then even though they had a card machine apparently not working so said it's cash or bank transfer only. This is really scammy as you have no protection with bank transfer and no signs to indicate any of this. Then they charged us for a takeaway box! Appalling service, do not recommend at all.”

  “Staff are and have always been wonderful, food and drinks are nice too however it’s going downhill. The outside patio/gate is broken and practically an astray, broken and fallen outdoor lights, and broken benches. Large groups who loiter inside/outside. Groups going into the toilet together downstairs for obvious reasons. It’s unfortunate as it was one of the nicer places in Coventry especially because the staff are so kind but definitely won’t be going back.”

  “Have known the Tipsy Chinese Restaurant since 2018, food has always been good and excellent value, This a real authentic Chinese restaurant, my partner is native Chinese and this ticks the box for flavours a from home. Visited yesterday evening (11th Feb 2026) and discovered that the restaurant is under new ownership and things have stepped up a gear. Ordered lamb skewers (fabulous - so good we ordered a second portion), Sweet and Sour pork (beautifully presented and oh so moorish), a dry spicy chicken dish (difficult not to go for a 2nd and 3rd piece!) and egg fried rice. Even the egg friend rice resets one's expectation for what this popular side should taste like so moist and full of flavour. Ordered a cocktail and a 'mocktail' for myself as the driver - two of each came, buy one and get one free! If you are planning on driving there as we did then the Lower Ford Street Car Park is a few minutes walk away - has Ringgo. Highly recommended.”

  “Really nice setting and decoration. I had the spicy beef noodles which were average, they were spicy enough and there were a good amount of beef chunks but lacked aroma. I feel like this is a nice place to hang out and drink; food is secondary”

  “The noodles which I ordered, was bad ! They just boiled instant noodles(40 pence Maggie and served the as a chow mein food. And found the hair in the food. Manager explains chef is bald headed which means it looks like chef do not use headcap at kitchen. Completely disappointed with the service and food. Useless service, And ended up asking to pay extra even for chilli oil(felt like general oil mixed with dry chilli seeds) other little service. There are other better Chinese restaurants around to explore to have better Chinese food experience. Unworthy and waste of Money.”

  “I love coming back here all the time for drinks and food. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. The food is great and there are so many choices as well. Moving on to the drinks, their cocktails are ones of the best in Coventry in my opinion. The atmosphere is cosy inside, but they have covered benches outside too. I recommend this place if you want to try asian food and awesome drinks.”

  “I have visited Tipsy few times now the food is amazing and delicious and their service is excellent I’ve visited it with my family as well it’s good value for money with excellent food also I got to try their new cocktail drink which is soon going to be in its 2021-2022 Menu it’s called Mt. FiJi, taste it to believe it, and the best part is that it’s kitchen is opened till 1:00 at night, so when your hungry and nothing is available it’s Tipsy for sure you will be served with fresh and quality food even if it’s late at night and even on a Sunday, Don’t forget to meet VICTOR who will always welcome you with is heartwarming smile. I would surly recommend Tipsy for great cuisine.”
