10/10 overall Really good food, nice atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and an all round excellent experience- will definitely be going back.
Good excellent Waiter was awesome. Excellent service. My favourite place to go.
Love this place, get what you pay for so it isn’t cheap but definitely worth it for a special treat
Probably the best Chinese meal I have ever had, highly recommend it.
Food was incredible. Would recommend to everyone. Thanks so much.
Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.
5/5 stars! We had an absolutely delightful dining experience at 1805! The moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff, who showed us to our cozy table. The ambiance was peaceful and inviting, with a gentle hum of conversation and the tantalizing aromas of savory dishes wafting from the kitchen. We began our meal with the egg fried rice, which was cooked to perfection - fluffy, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. But the real showstoppers were the special fried rice with beef in black pepper and the smoke chilli chicken. The beef was tender and juicy, infused with a rich, peppery flavor that complemented the rice beautifully. And the smoke chilli chicken? Absolutely divine! The combination of spicy and smoky flavors had us craving more with each bite. Throughout our meal, the staff were attentive and courteous, refilling our drinks and checking in on us with a smile. The service was top-notch, making us feel like valued guests rather than just customers. Overall, our experience at 1805 was a true delight. With its tasty food, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere, this is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine. We can't wait to return and try more of their delicious dishes!"
We liked the environment. The staff were attentive. The food was hot and delicious. We were very impressed! Will definitely return 5 ⭐️
The best Chinese meal we have ever had. Staff were all lovely and the food absolutely amazing. We will be back when next in Bournemouth. Thank you !
Superb food and atmosphere - as always. Lovely welcoming staff. One of my favourite restaurants. Thank you!
Great chinese food on a different level to the run of the mill fare.
We loved the food, best Chinese I’ve had outside of China. Not cheap eg £18 for a standard serving of sweet and sour chicken.
Het is een prachtig restaurant, we werden bijzonder vriendelijk ontvangen. Wat hebben we lekker gegeten, alle gerechten zo mooi van smaak!! Absolute aanrader!!! Het enige wat stoorde was de te harde hedendaagse muziek en dat terwijl er zulke mooie achtergrond bestaat
food was excellent, service was very poor. young waiting staff not very experienced.
Amazing food and amazing service as always - quite expensive but you get what you pay for
Been here twice now and it’s amazing! Best Prawns I have ever had!!
Cold food as it had clearly been sitting somewhere. When finally hot food was received we were asked to finish as restaurant was closing , whilst still eating the now late food. Then had the indignity to add service, which needed to be rejected.
Very nice food very quick service and nice atmosphere like the rotating table
have been before and food was good so decided to take wife there for her birthday really enjoyed the food even if was really exspensive.Was really noisy from one table could not hear yourself speak which was a shame.
Really nice food and great staff, plus a very beautiful restaurant
We chose your restaurant to celebrate a birthday and as usual the food was served quickly and efficiently, everything was presented beautifully and was so tasty. See you again soon. Thanks
Great food with a helpful, prompt service. Elevates Chinese cuisine well above the old take away standard.
Great quality and excellent service, would highly recommend this restaurant!!
The food and the staff are amazing. Bit pricey compared to your take away options but the food is worth it.
Our second visit here and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent service, food outstanding and a great bottle Chianti.
We visited on a lunchtime. The food was superb and amazing value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One of our favourite restaurants.
Food was great, staff were friendly. Decor was very cute!
This is a friendly restaurant where the food is excellent.Well known Chinese dishes combine with modern twists.
Excellent food and service as always! The quality of the food is impeccable but we do only enjoy this as a one off every so often due to the high cost.
Overall good though would like more choice in set menus
Best Chinese in Bournemouth always a pleasure to go every time
Food was amazing as the last time we came will be back soon
Lovely restaurant and decor. Food was delicious and service was great. Thank you
Unfortunately my daughter was violently sick snout an hour after leaving Won’t be going there again😟
This was our first visit to 1805. Very impressed with the style of the restaurant. Very friendly staff. And the food was absolutely amazing. By far the best Chinese we have ever eaten. I would thoroughly recommend this place.
Not the restaurants fault had a big group in and lots of children, fab food and beautiful restaurant
Great food, great atmosphere, great time. What more do you need?!
Incredible food really beautifully flavoured. Possibly the best Chinese I’ve had locally in at least a decade! Great service and ambience. Would highly recommend.
Probably the best Chinese I have ever had. Superb. And the service was exceptional.
Delicious food, amazing cocktails and beautiful restaurant. Service very good too
Food was amazing and staff were lovely and helpful really enjoyed it
Amazing food as always. Great Chinese and excellent service. Will be back soon.
The food is very nice and the setting just right. It isn't the cheapest restaurant in Bournemouth but certainly worth a visit on occasions.
Very noisy restaurant, couldn’t hear the person next to me. Then we had a 45 minute wait for food after the starter. When that arrived, the lamb chops were smallest portion of food I’ve ever seen & were very expensive. The saviour was the veggie duck! Overall very disappointed. There are better places.
It was great , restaurant was full of atmosphere, great service and fabulous food , will definitely return .
Fantastic food and great service, I would recommend this restaurant
Love this restaurant. Service and food both fantastic. Will definitely return.
Greeted warmly before being shown to our table. It was my birthday and that was acknowledged by all the staff. We had the set lunch menu and added an extra dish which was no problem at all. The wine choice was difficult because of the good choice and reasonable prices. The food as always was exceptional the Kung Po prawns were amazing. The service was perfect and although it was lunchtime we weren’t rushed. The little birthday dessert with a candle was a lovely surprise and treat. When we visit Bournemouth we usually visit 1805 and we will continue to. The best Chinese restaurant for us.
Great! Excellent food and staff were great too. Expensive but worth it
Best sweet and sour chicken and sweet and sour pork we have both had for a long time, delicious!
Too dark sat just other side of partition by the ‘lion’ Food tasty but pork in lychee wine went cold very quickly. Service ok but no one asked if we would like dessert or coffee. Went and asked for menus ourselves.
