Nice Tin Tin Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Portsmouth

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

People say that when you see Chinese diners in the restaurant you want to eat at, you can guarantee it’ll be good one and it’s no lie. As a Vietnamese person, I can tell you this is true, not just for Chinese, but Vietnamese restaurants also.

We found this restaurant by chance walking past on our first day to Portsmouth and came here for lunch on our departure day. We were not disappointed! The food portion was great for the price but the taste was simply amazing - tasted to me just like home-cooked food and not your standard, average Chinese restaurant. After speaking to a staff member, she told me the food is cooked Hong Kong style which explained a lot (my parents lived in HK and my mum cooked the local food) which is why I think I found the food tasting so authentic.

Lots of options to choose from including the Chef’s specials (I need to try this next time) and dim sum dishes. My friend and I had the fried beef in ginger and spring onion with sauce, roast duck fried rice, king prawn and vegetables chow mein, and spare ribs. Well-seasoned, flavoursome and delicious!

Staff were very attentive and friendly, place was clean and so were the bathrooms/toilets which are upstairs by the way in case you have mobility issues. The interior design looks a bit old-school but I could swear that is intentional to add the authentic charm to the place as the staff member told us they had recently refurbished.

PS. They only deliver between PO1 and PO7, which differs from the information on their leaflets (please update!) but if you do pass by Portsmouth Harbour, make...

Went as a party of 5 at midday on a Friday. Restaurant was open, we were the only customers the staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall the food was very good, we ordered mixed starters and crispy duck to start. Mixed starters were freshly cooked, but a little greasy. Duck was very nice. For mains we all shared egg fried rice, lemon chicken, pork belly, beef chow mein, and beef in black bean sauce. With the exception of of the pork belly all dishes were freshly cooked with fresh tasting ingredients. They were very nice, the pork belly wasn't so good, very fatty and looked like it was wamed up. As far as accessibility goes, there is a step to get into the restaurant. I had to leave my mobility scooter outside and use my sticks to get in, which proved to be very difficult. When I asked, there are no disabled toilets with the only toilets being at the top of a flight of stairs on the first floor. The food is excellent and I recommend, however if you are disabled, particularly if you are a wheelchair user, this is not an accessible venue in anyway. Sadly I won't be returning, although I would happily do so if I could. There is no parking on the premises, there is parking in...

I visited this restaurant just opposite Portsmouth station before catching an 8 pm train. I arrived at 7:45 pm, hoping to grab a quick takeaway. The staff were exceptionally polite and guided me to the counter, where a helpful lady made food recommendations.

Despite our small order of about £25, we were treated extremely well. We were directed to a separate area to sit and wait while our food was being prepared. During this time, a staff member offered us delicious complimentary snacks, which was a pleasant surprise.

Remarkably, our order was ready within 5-6 minutes, ensuring we could catch our train without any stress. When we requested extra ketchup, three staff members went out of their way to find and pack it for us, even though the restaurant was at least 70% full with diners.

The food was amazing. The chow mein tasted authentically Chinese. However, the schezwan chicken was a bit blander than expected.

Overall, the exceptional service and quality of food make this restaurant a standout choice. I highly recommend it for both its convenience and dining...
