About Compass Rose Chinese Restaurant and Bar

Compass Rose Chinese Restaurant and Bar is a Chinese restaurant and bar on Anchorage Road in Portsmouth, set beside a shared car park with Morrisons that offers plenty of parking. The kitchen runs a lunch menu alongside set options such as the "taste of plum blossom" set, with spring rolls among the sides, and vegetarian choices feature in the lineup. Dogs are welcome in the room, and a braille menu is on hand for guests who need it. Bookings can be arranged online. Cocktails, beer and other drinks come from the bar, which forms part of the same space as the dining room. The car park sits within easy reach of the main road, and the restaurant operates as one venue covering both food and drink service.

Customer Review Summary

The set menu draws steady praise, with the taste of plum blossom and desserts singled out by reviewers, who call the food fresh and beautifully prepared. Service runs warm but is described as understaffed, with one server juggling the floor alone. One diner cites a £25 service charge added without warning.

    “Had a lovely family meal at this place with all of choosing the set menu options. Generous portions and delicious!”
  • Olena Shkutko
    “Very nice place in Portsmouth! We celebrated a birthday here and had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was fresh, tasty and beautifully prepared. I especially loved the desserts — every option was delicious! A great place for a celebration. Highly recommend!”
  • Bethany Ward
    “saw this place on a TikTok review, being hyped for its vegetarian options. easy to book online. car park shared with Morrisons so loads of parking. decor not massively to my taste, but that’s the only negative I can say! All the servers there were welcoming & helpful. we ordered the taste of plum blossom set menu and a side of spring rolls. It was some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had, including all the meat alternatives in the past. My boyfriend felt it was up there with some of the best veggie food he’s ever eaten! The different “meats” had really impressive textures and the flavours were delicious. Highly recommended!”

    “Very nice food, but quite expensive for what it is”
  • Daniel Salami
    “Good food and service. A bit understaffed when we visited. Only one guy managing front of house, bar, seating, service. Did his best.”
