Most Disliked
Some customers express frustration with the cash-only policy, which can be inconvenient for those used to card payments. The absence of delivery options also draws concern, making it necessary for diners to pick up their meals. A few diners point out that service can lag during busy hours, occasionally leading to longer waits. While many dishes receive high praise, the crispy chilli beef seems to fall short for some. Although it's not universally disliked, its merit varies among dishes, leading some to prefer other options on the extensive menu.

Best Chinese takeaway I've had in the area by a wide margin. Cash only and no delivery is a pain, and service can be a bit slow during peak times, but the food more than makes up for it. 100% recommend.

The food and service is almost perfect (as far as a Chinese takeaway goes). I’ve never had a bad meal here. There are a couple of dishes that are surprisingly lacklustre; The crispy chilli beef, for example. It’s certainly not bad - and I continue to order it. But I’ve had better elsewhere. Otherwise this is probably the best Chinese in Waterlooville.

Hard to explain how good the food is here. I live in Portsmouth with dozens of Chinese restaurants/takeaways but will happily drive here every time as it's simply better than the rest. Recommended anything, really, but the crispy shredded beef, Singapore chow mein, salt and pepper chicken and any of the ribs are our favourites. Reasonably priced, good portions, great food.
