What User likes about The Old Place:
superb! eating from this Chinese takeaway/restaurant is simply fantastic and to the trips they can simply 't mistake it; the bark in black bean sauce and the crispy chili bark are my recommendations for safe, the decor is a bit like the local universities dylan 's bar, but they 'll not even because of the sublime food and I would recommend to anyone who wants good local Chinese cuisine in bournemouth.

On a recent visit to the town, we decided to get food delivered to our hotel. Our normal place was closed so we tried this one instead. It was a mistake we won’t make again! The food was expensive but not so much as to put us off. When it was delivered it was in plastic containers- a definite plus. Sadly, the positives ended there! The various dishes were not tasty and the chicken and mushroom curry contained no mush... View all feedback.

This establishment is easily one of the top Chinese restaurants in the area. The service was excellent as well. I would definitely recommend it to others.

In a culinary landscape that varies significantly, one restaurant stands out for its inconsistency and mixed reviews. While some patrons praise the freshness and quality of dishes like chicken ginger and rice noodles, others express disappointment over bland flavors and missing ingredients. Delivery service is noted as timely, though customer service experiences have been sharply criticized, particularly in instances of food quality issues. Atmosphere and presentation receive accolades, but unfortunately, several diners reported unsatisfactory dining experiences that overshadow the positives. Overall, while some cherish their visits, others warn potential customers to tread carefully.
