Hong Kong Tea Bar — Restaurant in Portsmouth

I love recommendations and when my colleague told me about it, I had to try. My partner brought me here as it was our treat day and girlll, I had fun. I was satiated.

I ordered the THREE ROAST. Im asian, i love my rice (egg fried rice for this dish) and it is topped with roasted duck, crispy pork belly and char siu.

My partner opted for chow mein but I told him to get the STIR FRIED BEEF HO FAN. It didnt disappoint him. "Simple and done well" was his comment. It came with a generous serving of tender beef with some bean sprouts, spring onions and the noodles. The wok hei was there.

We had to order more meat and that meant SWEET AND SOUR PORK RIBS. This isnt the tender fall off the bone ribs but its cripsy on the outside and you have to pull the meat off the bone. The sauce was great and it had a decent amount of meat to bone ratio as well as vegetables.

It was lunch time, felt thirsty from walking under the scorching sun. Their HOMEMADE LEMON ICED TEA did not disappoint. I think they used black tea, some sweetener and added in fresh lemons. Very refreshing with crushed ice. They serve it with a straw and a spoon so you can crush the lemon as you slurp down this lovely bevvy.

08dec21: I am giving a review for the three delivery orders that I have had in the months of October and November 2021.

I really enjoy the meal Beef Brisket with Dry Ho Fun, very flavorful. So yummy! I usually purchase two of this meal each time I order online from Hong Kong Tea Bar in Portsmouth. See photos below.

The first time that I had ordered ever from this restaurant, I purchased and tried the Chicken in Honey Sauce, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Beef Brisket with Dry Ho Fun. My delivery arrived very quickly like less than 20 minutes. All of the food was good. But the Beef Brisket stood out to me (what I wrote above).

The second and third times that I had ordered, just the two Beef Brisket meals, the delivery took much longer. One of my orders didn't arrive until almost two hours later (I had to call to find out where my order was, this was a Monday or Wednesday), which I had pre-ordered a little bit before the restaurant opened. So I am thinking that the Beef Brisket had to be prepared and cooked, maybe?

I would have given 5 stars but the very late meal delivery will have me give 4 and a half for Hong Kong Tea Bar. And I will continue to purchase the Beef Brisket with Dry Ho Fun while I am in Portsmouth attending my MSc degree...

We ordered several dishes for a family meal:

Curry Beef Brisket Rice

Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables Rice

Black Bean Sauce Spare Ribs & Chicken Feet Rice

Char Kway Teow (Stir-Fried Flat Rice Noodles)

The prices were reasonable and affordable, the portions were generous, and the flavors were excellent! The beef brisket and pork belly were braised to perfection—tender and rich in taste. The black bean sauce had a strong, fragrant aroma, making the dish even more appetizing. The Char Kway Teow had a delightful mix of spices and a hint of curry, giving it a unique and delicious twist.

One great bonus: for every meal over £9, you get a free drink! Choices include coffee, milk tea, and Chinese tea, which is a fantastic deal since there’s no need to pay extra for drinks.

Unfortunately, we forgot to take a photo of the curry beef brisket, but we’ll definitely be back for more!

Highly...
