South Garden - Test Valley

Had a very nice Chinese meal here. The sweet and sour pork and the shredded beef were delicious. I would also recommend the aubergine in black bean sauce. The service was quick and the waitresses friendly.

Our favourite chinese restaurant closed some time ago we have been searching for a replacement without much success.....until now. We had no idea what to expect as the existing reviews varied greatly. Our reservation was made by 'phone very easily. We arrived a little bit early as we expected parking nightmares but were pleasantly surprised especially with free parking on Sundays.At the restaurant we were greeted warmly, seated quickly had drinks within a short time. The menu is extensive so we chose a set menu to start with. The staff were really helpful allowed changes to some of the dishes stated to suit us better. Our meal was served quickly it was hot, tasty plentiful. Our waitress checked that we were ready to continue at each course so although service was very quick, the meal was not rushed. The food was excellent, the deep fried chilli beef was dangerously moreish! I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant for service or food.

Welcoming and helpful to our quite large group, seating us at two large round tables. Most of us went for set meals which we found gave us plentiful servings of well cooked food, perhaps a bit unexciting but maybe that's to be expected in a set meal.

Tasty food and good service, portions were very generous.

We visited here for a takeaway while staying nearby. Food was good quality and tasty. Was surprised to be told that it was cash only, wonder if this is for everyone?! However, the staff were really friendly, and would recommend.
