Amazing food and the gentleman was extremely accommodating of the whole family. We will most definitely be going back whenever we are in Winchester.

Excellent food, value and service. Not just Chinese food. The owner is Chinese-Malaysian so some of the dishes are Malaysian, including the Kung Po chicken which is the Malaysian version, which is quite different to the Chinese. I strongly recommend the Char Siu roast pork or beef in black bean sauce.

Probably some of the best Chinese food that I've ever eaten. It's not the biggest restaurant in the world, so I'd recommend booking a table rather than just turning up. The staff are kind and helpful and make you feel welcome.

The second time went there. Good place to talk with friends. Well-done Shanghai-style food. Impressive service.

Shocking evening. We booked to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday and safe to say there was zero celebrations. We even made them aware when booking it was to celebrate her birthday. It was a whole HOUR before our starters came out. The ...

Family dinner. The chef/manager looked very stressed, as did the one and only server. BUT what a job they did! The food was incredible! The service was amazing considering how short staffed they were. The chef/manager even gave my wife some chop sticks, holders and glasses to take home. Thank you guys, we had a lovely evening

I've been coming here consistently for 8 months and am always so impressed with the quality of the food, the portion sizes, the service and, most of all, the value for money. It's some of the best asiatic cuisine I've had in the UK. Full of flavour and not too greasy. Really can't recommend Mr. So enough.

Great atmosphere, subtile music, service was excellent and food one of the best Chinese I've ever had! Prices are affordable. Will definitely come back!
