  “Prawn crackers clearly cooked in old oil. Spare ribs nicely spiced but with fat and gristle on them. King Pao chicken fatty and gristly. Sauce glutinous. Peanuts stale. Boiled rice good. Service good but the food was pretty dreadful. Avoid.”

  “Sadly not many positives: The welcome was warm and friendly, so first impressions were good. Unfortunately, the meal itself was disappointing. I ordered dumplings, sweet and sour pork Chinese-style, and rice. When I ordered the pork, I was met with a raised eyebrow and a "Really?", before being told it would take around 20 minutes to prepare. I was happy to wait. The bigger issue was that my dumplings never arrived. I had to ask twice, and by that point my main course had already been served. The staff could see I wasn't eating because I was still waiting for my starter, but no one seemed to address the situation. For the price, I expected a much better experience. My benchmark is Xi Home in London, where I order the same dishes for a similar price and consistently receive better food and much smoother service. A pleasant welcome wasn't enough to make up for the poor service and underwhelming food. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend it.”

  “We recently visited the restaurant to try hotpot for the first time. The staff were all welcoming and kindly explained everything to us. We decided on the unlimited KBBQ and HotPot for the two of us. They brought out enormous amounts of vegetables and meats for us to use. The food was amazing and the service was very attentive. I would recommend visiting to try all thy have to offer. We would love to return to try some of the menu items!”

  “It was very quiet, went to Mayfair Chinese for hot pot and korean bbq all you can eat, I'm used to korean bbq so having a korean bbq without kimchi was a huge disappointment but the food was still nice. I would like to point the fact that they do not have a price for kids for the all you can eat, they charged full price for my 8 years old kid which is around 33 pounds but when I mentioned it the waiter kindly offered to make it half price for my child so I did appreciate the gesture. Coming from London, i think the price is a bit high as you still need to pay extra for the rice, most of korean bbq all you can eat come with unlimited rice and veg.”

  “Fantastic Chinese restaurant, possibly the best Chinese meal we've ever had. It's clear this place is authentic to the local Chinese community here in Portsmouth, which is great to see. The menu features a number 'known takeaway' dishes but also others I've never seen before. We tried the Dry Pot chicken (large black bowl in photo) which was absolutely delicious - perfect spice level along with other great flavours. Get past the the unassuming entrance and you will not be disappointed!”

  “Absolutely loved this place! The dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. The staff were polite and attentive, and they made us feel very welcome. The portion sizes were generous and good value for money. One of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve visited. Will definitely return!”

  “Edit: This was a review of a previous named restaurant… new review of Mayfair pending :) Fantastic place for some authentic Japanese dining. Very friendly staff and fantastic service! The food was delicious and will definitely be going there again. You can tell this place is a fantastic-hidden gem and well worth a visit if you love Japanese food like myself. The decor of the place was lovely with traditional seating. Don’t worry, there is normal seating if the traditional seating isn’t for you. Appears to be a family run place, which is good for supporting local business. My photos show some of the food we ordered, unfortunately I did eat some before the photos… rookie mistake.”

  “Tried their hotpot and bbq offer. I no longer need to go to Southampton to satisfy my hotpot cravings. Food is good, and service is brillant. Friendly and warm servers and owners. Would highly recommend this place.”

  “I have four Vegetarian dishes, aubergine, tofu, beans, noodles. They were amazing. Taste it good. The crowd eating there makes it clear that this is proper authentic place. It was a bit noisy since there was a big table with many people. But was amazing. I will go there again.”
