What Ruth H doesn't like about Hong Kong Tea:
I’ve been a regular here for years but unfortunately the last few times I’ve visited there’s always been something a bit wrong. The most recent lunch I had here was a lunch menu item, chicken in batter with boiled rice. The chicken was dry and crumbly, yet greasy. Unpleasant. It’s a favourite meal I’ve had before without issues. Last time was a little dry, this time I couldn’t even finish it. Chicken either stale or... View all feedback. What Michelllechampers likes about Hong Kong Tea:
This is just a cafe, no need to get dressed up, it’s appearance it that of a back street cafe that you would expect to order a breakfast from, with its plastic school dinner like tables and vinyl floors unless you know better you might walk past, but the food is amazing at such good value, lunch here can cost you as little as £6.50.

Love the food I get from Hong Kong tea bar plus at Good prices

Despite mixed recent reviews, the restaurant maintains a loyal following for its authentic Chinese cuisine. While some diners experienced issues with food quality, delays in service, and poor customer service, others rave about the delicious pork and duck dishes. With many customers returning for years, the restaurant has a solid reputation for its extensive menu and accommodating staff. The generous portions and reasonable prices make it a top choice for Chinese food in Portsmouth. Despite some recent hiccups, the restaurant continues to attract loyal customers and positive feedback from those eager to indulge in flavorful Chinese dishes.
