It's a very unassuming looking frontage that gives no clue as to the interior. We ordered the chefs special set menu with the lobster option to start. Our lobster was presented live and huge before being chopped up and braised in a wok with ginger and spring onion. Sublime! We had a selection of 5-6 other dishes, including King Prawn in black bean, baby squid, chilli fillet beef, chicken in yellow bean plus rice. It was £24 per head (minimum of 2). The sake comes warm in its own little bath and the service is impeccable - knowledgeable, friendly staff who really care about their food. This is an outstanding restaurant and one we'll be visiting regularly from now on.

It's very small here so always pre-book to make sure you aren't disappointed. You will be very well looked after!

It was a leap of faith as there weren't any Yelp reviews to help guide us. I am so happy to report that the service was excellent from the moment I called and placed the order. A friendly voice efficiently took my order, confirmed it and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. Exactly 15 minutes later I arrived to a warm smile and friendly welcome. The food was packaged up in an excellent Asian-inspired cardboard carrier. The aroma from the box was intoxicating for the short journey back home. The food was immaculately prepared and was delicious. We probably ordered too much, but absolutely nothing was left at the end! Fantastic job, Pagoda! Thank you.

There is a choice of a set menu which can be a lot more cost effective if going in a larger group.

The food is fantastic and the staff are very helpful, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everybody visiting Andover, it is the best one in the town.

My friends and I have been going to the Jade Cottage since it opened over 12 years and have always…read morehad an excellent experience as the food is absolutely first class. Always welcoming, with attentive service and a varied menu with both chinese and thai dishes to choose from. I don't think the prices are any more expensive than any other Chinese restaurant - but even if they are, the quality of the food at the Jade would certainly justify it. The peking and thai feast is particularly popular and great value if there's a group of you - three courses including an excellent selection of hors d'oeuvres, crispy duck, and a selection of main courses for under 20 quid a head - and believe me, there's plenty of food for your money! Special occasions such as christmas and new year are brilliant fun at the Jade as Frankie, the owner, will put on the karaoke system (although as everywhere the price goes up a little on those nights). I don't have a bad word to say really - it's the best chinese restaurant i've ever been to, anywhere. And they own the takeaway next door, Kings, which serves the same outstanding grub for you to enjoy at home. Not sure what else I can say, apart from give them a bell and book a table - you won't regret it and you'll return again and again!

I remember one evening absolutely pulling my hair out over the bridge in "Beauty Has A Price". I took a break, phoned Lotus Garden.

We headed off to Lyndhurst on a spur-of-the-moment whim for an overnight stay at the weekend -…read morehungry after a long walk in the beautiful New Forest, we took a gamble after looking at their menu as we passed by and made a reservation for that evening. The restaurant was very busy when we walked in, a few minutes early: we were invited to take a seat while our table was made ready, which gave us a moment to look at the delicious Szechuan menu again. We were shown to a lovely table in the middle of the restaurant, up close to the wall so we didn't have people brushing past continuously, bang on our reservation time! We selected a random bottle of wine from the menu (an Italian rose) which was very nice. We elected to start with wan-tun soup and grilled dumplings, which came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. The grilled dumplings were so moorish that we could happily have tucked into another plateful! We chose crispy beef with sweet-piquant sauce and panfried squid in blackbean sauce as our mains, accompanied by steamed rice and Yung Chow fried rice (containing meat and prawns). There was a nice lull in between our starters and main dishes being served which gave us time to enjoy our wine and savour the flavours from the starters more fully. The main courses were exceptional - not only in terms of quality, but also quantity! Lovely tender strips of beef were served in a delicate sweet-peppery sauce which was the perfect companion to the Yung Chow fried rice; my partner was very pleased with his panfried squid (again, plentiful quantity) and found the blackbean sauce quite fiery, although still very tasty and not offputting at all. We found the service to be very swift and courteous - the only things we could possibly find fault with was (a) after the first pouring of wine we were left to do it ourselves (not that we minded!), (b) we left the restaurant without being bid farewell, and (c) critically - the smokers stood outside the front door of the restaurant and as it was a fairly warm evening, the door was left wide open and the smoke blew in constantly. Not nice if you are a non-smoker! The food was exceptional; I think this definitely comes into our top 3 Chinese restaurants in the UK. We will definitely return again to the Imperial China next time we are visiting the area - well worth a visit, in our opinion.

It is situated in the main street of Lyndhurst opposite the road leading to Cadnam. It is a short walk from the public car park. They serve Chinese and Szechwan food.

They also do a take away menu which seems to be popular but we haven't tried it yet.
