大重庆餐饮娱乐 — Restaurant in Portsmouth

Having grown up in a catering and hospitality environment (Family & Qualified as a chef) I often go out and unfortunately spot something to comment on (usually negatively); today my best friend, his girlfriend and myself spontaneously popped into Twins.

We decided on the "all you can eat" buffet for £18.90 each - my best friend is the "typical Brit" where he will go out and order the same thing that is the safe bet; today with the buffet his girlfriend and I convinced him to try other dishes as it was a single inclusive price with accommodating portions.

We were successful in broadening his pallette and increasing his difficulties in choosing a single dish in the future. The food was colourful, succulent and flavourful, the portions were excellent for the three of us to share.

The restaurant as seen in the photographs is presented well in a blend of modern and traditional Chinese styling that was clean, elegant and welcoming - we were pleasantly greeted with a welcoming atmosphere and excellent customer service, the dinner was finished off with slices of oranges, lemon hand towels and a humbug mint.

We are already planning our next visit this time with my partner too, simply...

Update: Twins used to be pretty good but is now going downhill. Char Siu tasted like old leather drenched in pancake syrup. I informed that this dish was particularly bad (indicating I didn't want to pay for it, or wanted at least a discount) but staff acted as though they couldn't have cared less.

I should have borne in mind that this was the very same restaurant in which the manager hid in the toilet when the health inspector came-a-calling ;-)

It may well have changed hands again since then, however.

I need to write some positive reviews to balance out my negative ones ;-)

This Twins is pretty good, and pretty consistent food-wise, and is my daughter's favourite restauant. Furnishing's pretty good; comfortable. Management's friendly but the staff are a bit indifferent. Comparing this to the Korean Barbeque down the road... well you can tell they're not...

I don't normally review or rate anything , I leave it to readers of the daily mail.But here I am typing away 😁 We dropped in there by off chance while in Pompy and been a great lover of oriental food gave it a go.Awesome food friendly service relaxed surroundings and such a selection of dishes made it a cracking evening. So much so I'm going to take my lad tonight who's inherited the same love of oriebtal cuisine as myself to have another go 😁 As a footnote they do an alternative menu which I was fascinated by watching other people cooking their own food at the table. If I'm brave I may hit that...
