My husband and I are lived near San Francisco which has a huge Chinese population. Some of the best Chinese food we eat was in China Town S.F. We were pretty spoiled to have delicious and authentic Chinese right next door. We’ve been living in the U.K. for 10 years now and until we found Spring Deer, no other Chinese place over the years came close to what we are used to. We are super happy we found this place and finally when we have Chinese. We are fully satisfied and the food absolutely hits the spot. Spring Deer has a great menu and boasts a traditional Chinese decor. On top of that the food is super delicious and fresh. First Chinese restaurant in the U.K. where beef is not chewy and dry. The beef here, melts in your mouth. Highly recommend Beef In Black Bean Sauce. This restaurant is obviously doing something right. They have been open for over 30 years. We have been here 5 times in the span of a couple months and each time, each dish we get is fresh, aromatic and scrumptious. The restaurant is family owned and operated and you can tell how much they care by the level of friendly and welcoming service you receive. This is a very popular place and you can forget about getting a table over the weekend without a reservation. Best to make a booking a few days before the weekend to guarantee you get a table. Tue-Thur walk ins are OK but weekend tables get filled up pretty fast. Few other great dishes are the kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork and chefs specials. To be honest, everything we had so far was great. They do offer vegan and vegetarian options as well. If you live or are visiting the area and you want some quality Chinese food, This is it. You won’t find anything better or fresher. Highly recommend Spring Deer for their food, atmosphere...
Read moreAbsolutely loved it, thank you! Lovely little restraunt, we arrived without having booked a table (tip, book a table or you may be dissapointed, it was busy) Even though we hadnt booked they accomodated us anyway(2 adults) with just a short 20 min wait, we went for a quick drink then returned. The food was ourstanding, hot, tasty, served in a timely fashion by the lovely waiting staff (thank you ladies) & steven the manager went out of his way to make sure everything was to our satisfaction & everyone elses at the tables around us, i found him to be a lovely, warm gentleman. We ordered starters salt & pepper mix sharing plate & hot & sour soup, the soup was wonderful, best ive had in ages! S&p mix was also fab with plenty for 2. My partner had the special curry, he loved it & i had the king prawn hot plate tbh i was very full after the soup & sharing platter so i didnt eat all my mains (restraunt offered to box it up for me) but what i did eat was fabulous. Starters vary in price, sharing platter was £8, main meals around £13~£15. The set meal was £25 per person. All in all we had a wonderful...
Read moreI hadn't been here in years up until recently. We (me and my partner) went for half six and we were the only ones in at that time. They had no beer on tap only bottles as the gas delivery had not been. Staff was apologetic about that but the bottled tiger and cocktails were good. The food seemed fresh cooked and came in hot bamboo baskets which was a nice touch. When the server says don't touch the sizzling plate with the steak roll came on definitely listen but I would sertainly recommend the dish. Also the seafood was fresh and even though I expected to see larger potions because at first they looked small. They are not needed as the food is very filling. I don't understand what other reviews are about when they say it's a little expensive. When we went we ordered some of the more expensive items on the menu and both had three courses and at least three drinks each and the total was less than £60 on a Saturday. My partner is the picky one and he said he will be...
