Bao Fa Garden Restaurant

i came here with my sister, her sweet and sour chicken was delicious however we paid £13.50 for 4 small pieces of chicken and had to pay an extra £4 for egg fried rice. we had a starter platter which costed us £12 (£6 each person) we only got a mouthful of each thing because it wasn’t enough for the two of us. i had fried noodles with mixed seafood, it was very cold and the noodles were black around the edges of the plate because of how badly they were burnt. i paid £13 for burnt noodles and three big lumps of some type of vegetable (not seafood, which is what i ordered), and a couple of prawns. at the end of the meal they added a service charge which i don’t think they deserved, my meal costed me £55, i only had one starter platter, fried noodles, sweat and sour chicken and egg fried rice. somehow this added up to £55 and they added on service charge without even letting me know. the service was slow, even though there were only three other tables in the restaurant with people on. i’m very unhappy with my visit and i wish i hadn’t wasted my money and time here

My guests and I enjoyed our dinner here. We had the crispy aromatic duck with crepe, kungpo chicken, beef with ginger& spring onion, kailan (Chinese brocolli) cooked in garlic, all washed down with a lovely Grenache Rose. I would say the cuisine was of HK Cantonese style which I am more familiar with. I thought the dishes were good and of an acceptable size. The service was friendly and efficient enough, so I cannot understand why some reviews were so harsh. The prices are higher than Chinatown or Queensway but these are elegant surroundings. I will be coming back after the renovation for the dimsum. If I were to have a complaint, it would be about the chopsticks which have clearly seen better days and therefore should be replaced.

Yes I would recommend food nice great location and views great service but only one bad thing, we saw a mouse running in the restaurant in daylight!

Location is best. Service very good. Waiters very polite.

Expensive food, portion sizes were quite small.
We were still finishing our starter as the main courses came to the table, service was rushed.
Food was good though, and great location.

Where do I start? One of the most disorganised restaurants I have ever attempted to eat in. It was well over half an hour before our order was taken, the first dish was incomplete and stone cold, then the rice arrived but nothing else. Thirty minutes later the rice was gone and some satay arrived with sauce so badly over cooked it had fixed bubbles in it. In the end we left without eating after 2.5 hours - and the two tables either side said their experience was much the same. A shame because a few years ago this was an excellent restaurant for both food and service.

The food was lovely however, not all of it arrived for which the staff were not at all apologetic. Despite previously having explained that the meal was for a very special occasion. The restaurant was also very cold and so needed to have a coat on while I ate

Excellent duck, lovely people
