"After visiting the cinema, some friends and I popped in to grab some takeaway- we were in a great mood as the local Christmas lights had been turned on that day. The venue looks nice, if not a little quiet and we were greeted by a beautiful lady with a terrible attitude. She asked us to sit at a table with a couple of strangers while we picked our food, but as recovering alcoholics in early sobriety we didn’t feel comfortable joining the stranger with her glass of wine so we stood to the side of the paying station and ordered. The moody lady wandered around barking orders at staff and the gentleman who took our order was experienced, well manicured but also with a touch of distain on his face. I tried to share small talk with him whilst my friends selected their options but I couldn’t help but feel we weren’t welcome there- was it because I was wearing a cap and hoody? Wearing the LGBT flag? Surely not. We were asked to take a walk whilst our food was prepared… we did so and we all made comment on how strange the service had been SO FAR. When we returned the 2 staff members we had dealt with were busy- the lady told the gent not to admit any more diners even tho the venue was less than half full, so we spoke with a younger lady and asked if we could ok if we could sit at a table whilst we waiting for our food. She agreed and in less than 45 seconds the older lady who had originally greeted us told us that we couldn’t sit there as we weren’t dining in… we calmly explained that we were just waiting for our take away. She went into a rave to the younger lady about how we weren’t allowed permitted to stay there and to “clean the whole table when they leave”. Ultimately it’s her venue and her standards so it’s up to her how she runs her venue but to do this in ear shot or the customers, we were clearly well kept, polite, clean and tidy was pretty offensive. On our way home we joked that the food had better make up for the service. It didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, it was fine, but in a town of a million restaurants and takeaways it’s a wonder that this place has stayed open. I will return to eat in Bournemouth but I won’t be returning to this venue. 1 star, would not recommend, I get better service at Maccy D’s."

We have been going to mandarin for over 10 years and in that time we’ve noticed a big decline in the food and taste of the food. We had a meal the other night and after spending a lot of money this will now be our last meal at the restaurant. I’m not sure if the chef has changed over recent months/years but it’s sadly our last visit.

We have eaten here several times over the past few years. Every time it was excellent. Same again this time. We had the Vegetarian Feast for four. £25 pp. Delicious tasting food, very good service and great value for money. Clean and well maintained establishment too. Nice ambiance. Family run since 1968 and that makes it special. Highly recommended!!

I remembered this place from the last time I was in Bournemouth years ago and thought it was worth a go. I wasn't disappointed, it was even better than I remembered it. The vegetarian menu is just fabulous. If you're vegetarian and you like Chinese food you won't be disappointed. Great service fabulous food, if I lived closer I would eat here every day!

Good straight-forward food, but not as good as some others we have visited up and down the country. Friendly and helpful staff. If you are visiting Bournemouth, it is a place to walk to if you plan to eat there before 8-00 p.m., as the Council will charge £5 for street car parking across the road. The meter was cash only, which was fine for us but perhaps not for all of you.....

Ordered our first takeaway from here. Used the special offer where we could pick a dish free. We choose the chicken chow mein. With the offer we paid £40 for a total of 6 dishes. Not cheap, but a lot cheaper than yumm tumms which charged £53 for 5 dishes for takeaway We found the food generally good (Its better than yumm tumms) but both had to drink water in the night due to the salt content of the meal.

Got a take away from this place and really didn’t disappoint was expecting a big standard Chinese take away but the quality of the food was so good. Spare ribs had hunks of meat on it, and normally you get some that are majority fat but these ones were proper quality. The Crispy aromatic duck was to die for you got so much meat. Really can’t fault it and definitely going to be my regular take away. Would look forward to going to the restaurant in the future too

A filthy restaurant you do not want to eat in. You know it from the moment you enter. I shuffled my table to sit properly only to have my hand covered in chewing gum stuck to its underside. I went to wash my hands in this time of COVID only to find there was no soap in the gentleman's toilet. We declined to eat and left. This is not my kind of restaurant. Later my credit card was charged £20 for a no show reservation for two diners. Absolutely nasty place you don't want any association with.

"One of the best steak houses I've ever been to! I highly recommend this restaurant. I made a booking for one last minute and they accommodated me quickly. Unfortunately, when I arrived and was shown to my table it was laid up for two and the waitress even put down a second menu. I chose what I wanted and was seen to quite quickly. Despite ordering a glass of wine, one starter and one main, the waitress then asked if I was waiting for anyone. As a single dinner this repeated assumption that I must be with someone else made me feel quite saddened, especially as I had pre-booked for one. The wine was very good, and the starter came out in a flash. I had ordered whitebait but what I was presented with was surprising small considering it's £8 (roughly) price tag. The fish was good and the batter was done well. The accompanying sauce/dip and salad were both good as well. The main issue was portion size for me, especially as I see whitebait as a cheap option in normal restaurants. I had the rib-eye steak at £30 (roughly) and ordered it blue. Something that is always risky in my experience, but the chef did it to perfection. I think it is the best blue steak I have had in all of the Bournemouth area. The garlic butter was divine and the chips and onion rings were well prepared. The grilled tomatoes were very good, I must say. Over all, the food was absolutely exceptional and the service was absolutely on point! Except for the price and size of the whitebait and the service making me feel a tiny bit awkward for being alone, I would have given 5* across the board. The place is quite pricey, for me alone with just a starter, main and two drinks plus the tip came to £70. However, the steak was so good that I would still recommend it if you are able to afford it.
