The Old Place - Bournemouth

Incredible restaurant. The quality of food was unbelievably good; great presentation and tasted amazing. The general atmosphere of the restaurant was very calm and the service could not be faulted. Would highly recommend.

I ordered special fried rice with prawns. Not a shrimp or prawn to be seen. Called up and they called me a liar and put the phone down on me. That makes ALL of you need to avoid this place.

Ordered by phone on Sunday evening, delivery within the 45 minute alloted time, the driver found the address where most others fail as the Satnav takes you to the back of the building. I explained this when ordering and the message was obviously passed on to the driver who was very nice and polite even though when he buzzed up to be let in the flats I forgot to release the main door) Food was hot, good portion size, quite tasty with 3 extra dishes as we'd spent over £40. Would definitely use again.

We ordered takeout tonight and quickly realized that the prawns in the pancake rolls were bad. They smelled terrible and tasted awful. My partner unfortunately bit into one before noticing and had a strong reaction afterwards. When we called the restaurant to inform them, the person on the phone insisted that the prawns were fresh and offered to replace the pancakes. However, we were already too turned off by the experience, so we had the food picked up. The lack of apology or explanation from the restaurant was disappointing. I would not recommend dining there based on this experience.

This establishment is easily one of the top Chinese restaurants in the area. The service was excellent as well. I would definitely recommend it to others.
