"The background music for a restaurant was a bit loud, the atmosphere was more like going into a bar. The lighting was too dark, we had to walk very carefully not to trip over. We had a large party so they have arranged a separate room, so that was good privacy. The food was okay, but for the price I was paying, I was expecting something better than that. However, the presentation was wonderful. I ordered a sweet sour pork, the meat so really dry and tough. The braised beef dish was quite a disappointment, the meat was not tender like how it should and the turnip was obviously not fresh and old felt like it’s been stored in the bridge for a long time). The hot sour soup only tasted vinegar, the chicken was off. The salt pepper soft shell crab was fabulous. I was expecting more sophisticated service from this nice restaurant, however one of the waitresses really surprised me with her rushy attitude. The speed for our order was incredibly fast, we ordered quite a few dishes but did not expect them to be served all at the same time. Literally there was not space she could put the dishes on the table. So I had to hold the plates while she tried to jiggle around the ones already on the table. Then she hassled us to all take a piece of soft shell crab from the plate so she could clear that plate! The quality and service did not worth £250 last night."

The food is very good but portions are way too small for the price. The waiters speak Chinese which is great

The special soup with porc intestine and chicken was great, I loved the Spanish pepper fresh chillies and the black beans porc Berkshire porc belly and the lovely service of Li. This made loose many memories of the Noble China restaurant in Lilongwe Malawi.

Exceptionally expensive it’s got to be said unfortunately. You’ll read people’s reviews that say you’ll get cheaper and better high quality Chinese places in London. I’m Not surprised. Venue is lovely and you’re paying for that. Drinks more than the food It’s great for an experience and I’d recommend you try it once. Speisekarte ansehen

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the food is varied and delicious, catering to many different tastes and the staff ask about allergies before you order and bring corresponding menus. Tap water was offered regularly. We went on a Sunday night in August, the place was humming and obviously popular. The atmosphere was fine apart from the thump, thump, thump of their chosen brand of music. We were placed by a speaker, 3 out of 4 of our group had hearing aids and the noise level made conversation nigh on impossible. We were offered a another table and it was marginally better. This music did NOTHING to add to the atmosphere. We were going to add our usual 10% service charge but 12.5% is a...

We were celebrating our anniversary with my boyfriend there. First of all our table was a made-up side table on the second floor near the entrance right opposite two individual groups of people celebrating a birthday event...the atmosphere was very bad overcrowded, busy and noisy. Personally I don't enjoy when I can't have a conversation with my partner because we can't hear each other or trying to enjoy my food while people standing and walking back and forth next to my plate. Picked very tasty cocktails and beers. The food was okay overall but definitely not mind-blowing for me. We had the 1814 signature duck dish- was absolutely delightful- we also tried a beef dish, stir-fry vegetables,...

"This review is based on my experience on the day, and could be different for you, but I doubt it. I kept being told about a Burrito bar in Southampton and that I should try it. Well I attended today, with the friends who told me about this place, and have to say I had, up to this point never had a Burrito in my life. Seen many programs showing them but never had I ever tried one. Followed what my friend did, and I got my burrito the way I wanted it to be. You walk in, you’re asked if you want a small or large (unsure if medium is available burrito. Then your problems start, but in a nice way. So many main options it can be mind boggling until you get your head around it. The staff were fantastic after I chosen my main meat/rice of tomato rice and shredded beef. I then moved on to the extras, sauces, chose a mild sauce many salad options and it was then prepared for eating (folded then wrapped in silver foil then payment. And I was ready to eat at the tables in the front part of the shop. Warning that prices vary dependent on the size and the meat you have as your filling. Mine with shredded beef with the rice and toppings I chose totaled £9.95. No complaints from me as the food was hot, tasty, held together by the silver foil, filling and worth every penny in my opinion. Pricing is no different to any local take away I suppose but the bigger the meat (to many to list hear, but from pulled meat to chunks of steaks you have the more expensive it is but it is filling and good value. If you are not a meat eater you could ask for a vegetarian burrito, made of rice and the vast vegetable additions. Cannot see that being an issue. You can do take away, eat in or delivery. They do other dishes which I did not even get to look at but I would say all pallets are catered for. You could always call in advance or check their website, Mexigo Southampton. I think there are other Mexigo branches around the local area as far as Maidstone if you google Mexigo. Don’t shoot the messenger as this was the first time I had visited this shop/chain and I was unsure as you are reading my review, but I was satisfied with what I chose, and think if you plan your selections well either there or via the website you will not be disappointed."
