They have really good set menus, that are very well priced for the amount of food that you get. I usually order a takeaway on fri/sat night and despite being the restaurants busiest nights the food is always of a good standard. You also get a free bottle of complimentry wine when you spend over £40, so great for a night in with your friends!! Im looking forward to visiting this restaurant (for a sit-in meal) in the near future =)

The Yan Woo is the best Chinese/Malaysian restaurant in Portsmouth (possibly the best restaurant…read moreI've ever been to)! My family have been going there for years, as the food is always excellent. The service is very friendly and normally quite fast. The prices, especially from their all you can eat menu, are excellent for such a huge choice of high quality dishes. My meal recommendation is the Kambing Rendang and Nasi Goreng - yum! They also offer a take away service.

I've been coming here over the last decade and have seen many changes. Currently it is in the best form yet. An authentic menu seems to be what filled the place with Chinese on this Sunday night. I ordered Wontons in hot chili oil hoping to get something similar to a Scechuan dish I recently tried in New York. The large bowl of wonton soup was hot and very hot, making me sweat around my eyes and I admit to shedding a few tears. Though more symbolically they were tears of gratitude to be so warmed up on a cold Portsmouth night. The pleasant waitperson brought me two big glasses of tap water and I was given a large bowl of shrimp chips to nibble whilst slurping my soup. I'll be back real soon to try more dishes on the big new menu.

So you want your money back? We spoke no more…read more Never tried restuarant only takeaway on 2 occasions. First time took it back and got something else that escapes memory but was no better as I recall Benefit of the doubt as local but second time obtained a refund !!! Proprietor also owns nearby fish & chip shops (will add a review on that later) but would not recommend even if it is cheap

Got a voucher for a free bottle of wine on next visit so will definitely be going back soon =)

Ordered the roasted pork chow mein, vegetarian spring rolls (fried) and Thai red beef curry. All…read morewere just ok, not very good but if you need a quick and cheap option and want Chinese then this is ok. Even though there are 8 pieces of the spring rolls, I could've eaten them by myself so don't think one order is good for the table larger than 2 people. The chow mein was a good portion to share between 2-3 people but the Thai red beef curry is only good for one in my opinion. The food does come out quick and hot which I greatly appreciated because I was starving. I wouldn't call this place my go to Chinese food but if your on yelp starving and this is the only option.... then it isn't all that bad.

Very very very poor…read more The service the worst I've ever experienced, with our main course taking 3 hours from seating to arrival and in many cases even then arriving cold. Had they at least had the decency to apologise and take responsibility for their own failings it may have been forgiveable due to our party size of fifty, but not considering we preordered a week in advance. In addition, it was apparently our fault that... a) One of our eight tables (who received their food last) not having finished their starters. This therefore for some reason prevented them serving a main course to anybody else. The real kicker was that the table in question had finished their starters half an hour prior to this conversation. b) We apparently had backed up their entire kitchen due to our failure to sit down at 7pm, despite our booking, in writing, having been confirmed as 8pm and no one of our party even being in the building at 7pm. I particularly enjoyed clearing my own table and taking our plates to their kitchen for them having sat with dirty plates in front of us for an hour and a half between our starter and main course. When the food did finally arrive, the portions were very small, it was served cold and was for the most past bland and flavourless. Add this to an argument over the bill when basic maths even alluded the manager who gave the table next to us 25% off the bill, and us 10%, because their table was bigger. I can only think they skipped school on the day basic proportioning was taught. I can't stress enough how poor this is as a place to eat and would not recommend it to anybody.
