The food is fantastic - as well as the main menu, have a look at the specials board. The staff are lovely and really keen to help you to decide what you want, and will offer recommendations if you want. If you go, try one of the bento boxes - so that you can try two main courses!! It's really good value for money. They also have chinese beer available, as well as a takeaway service

So we did search on this ! The reviews where good and bad? Those that did like if thought it was…read moregreat! Those that didn't thought it was bad! Well it was bad! The place was empty at 7:00 pm on a Thursday night! We ordered sweet n sour soup, Sichuan Chicken, mushroom fried rice, crispy Duck and black bean spicy pork! I had a Carlsberg beer and my friend just had water ! No hot tea with meal ! Very odd ! About 5 minuets after ordering the waitress dropped off this strange appetizer it was like a fried bread similar to fried pork rinds, however, this was white tasteless the consistency of styrofoam ! Oddity two! About another 5 minuets the waitress dropped off the soup and the duck, however, she only brought one bowl and we specify stated we would be splitting the soup! She came back with another bowl and it was a challenge to transfer the hot soup to the other bowl with just a paper napkin to handle the hot bowl! Though the soup was hot it was not sweet or spicy overall bland at best, we did eat it all however, cause we where hungry! The Crispy Duck was even worse and served mushy style with tortilla , thin sliced green onions, cucumber and plum sauce as condiments ! First off the Duck was stone cold, very dry, not crispy and very bland! Normally freshly cooked duck is moist and somewhat greasy it was neither! In my assumption it was cooked a few days previously stored in a refrigerator and microwaved for our service! We both tried the dish and we where quite disappointed and called the waitress of the issues with the dish! She took the dish back however, stipulate she need to check with the manager to omit from the bill! Since the duck was a main portion of the meal, we than added a portion of black bean pork to the order! Finally, after another 10 minuet wait our remaining original order items came! The chicken dish actually was passable, however only consisted of chicken, sliced onion and green peppers? Not in my opinion not Sichuan as neither spicy and loaded with typical variety of ingredients! The fried rice was another let down as it wasn't fried? It was just plain white rice with mushrooms and green peas added, again very bland and nothing special! We ate everything cause it was late and we were hungry! The pork dish never came ! Which was good as I didn't want to give them a penny more! In summary, the food was terrible and not typical Chinese style, the serve was slow for an empty restaurant ! Gave them 2 stars in hope they get better! However, save yourself the frustration and expense and Don't Come Here!

When i first arrived in Gloucester i performed the now mandatory yelp search for places to eat. To…read moremy surprise though Yelp had heard of a great many only one was reviewed! So curiosity finally got the better of me and i resolved to go... Let me say first off that i see why it was rated so highly. The premise is simple but glorious. All you can eat Chinese for £15 a head. Order as much as many times as you like (Its cook to order not a buffet so everything comes hot and on demand!). The menu is massive, you'll start with what you know but soon be forced to venture out into all new foods. Each plate is small enough to allow for a good three rounds even for the most reserved diner but large enough to be filling. Personal tip, start you night with Hot and Sour Soup, you won't regret it. Another rule that i think made the night for us was written in tiny ink at the bottom of the menu "respectfully, please finish your plate before ordering your next dish". Brilliant, 5 star dining but your mothers table rules. It meant if one person didn't like what they'd ordered we'd all chip in to finish it off, otherwise it was game over. The staff were polite and very attentive considering it felt like we were in the busiest place in Gloucester. I had a fantastic night there and felt i had really gotten my moneys worth. Quite right that Blossom was the first rated and should remain the top rated restaurant in Gloucester!

Fantastic food in a fairly relaxed (but still quite formal - does that make sense??) setting…read more The food is freshly prepared and always tastes so good. The staff are always keen to please and always want to hear that you've enjoyed your experience. The restaurant is always so clean, it's very welcoming. But the popularity of this restaurant means that it does get busy! I would recommend booking a table if you're planning to visit in the evening. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but with food of this quality, you can live with that. They also offer a takeaway service, but I have never tried that.

Following the August Bank Holiday weekend a friend and I were looking for somewhere to eat as…read moreneither of us had a chance to grab anything all day. I remembered the wonderful deal I had taken advantage of on a mid week 'Custom Plate' Chinese Banquet at the Shanghai in Gloucester. I took my relatives there some years before and found their system quite unique and very pleasantly memorable. Finding myself once again in their locale I was keen to see if the standard had remained as high. Welcome and service was first class. Indeed the choices were equally as good as before and a very comprehensive table service menu meant there was something for all tastes. The rule seemed to be the same that you could order any dishes or side plates you wanted, the only condition was that any significant left-overs could be charged back at full menu price (on top of the fixed buffet tariff). A crispy duck starter and several noodle and rice dishes were the order of the day. Each one as wonderful as the previous and it really did seem that we had struck gold in terms of our choice of venue. For approx £13 a head (I suspect slightly more at busy weekends), the value and quality more than matched the variety of choices. There were not many empty tables and the atmosphere was pleasantly vibrant. If I have one slight criticism to level it would merely be that the very open plan arrangement of before seems to have been slightly modified to now include a policy of not being able to revert to starter items later on during the service. To me this flexibility was one of the beauties of the former visit and to be fair when I questioned this I was actually courteously allowed to order as I wished. I may suggest that somehow this now needs to be made clearer or better still, left as relaxed as before. There was no pressure to keep re-filling the glasses but due to the length of time we were in the Shanghai, we did sample a small selection of their fine wines and beers. I guess I won't leave it so long next time.

I am absolutely appalled by the staff at this restaurant. We dined there on Saturday 28th of May…read more The food was good. we part paid by cash leaving a £30 credit card payment which was put through the machine by a short waiter who I guess was in his early fifties. He informed our friend that her credit card payment had not been authorised. I was already about to make up the shortfall by cash but he was extremely reticent to hand over the printout from the machine which aroused our suspicions. We eventually did wrestle the printout from his clenched hand and discovered upon examination that the payment had gone through. It is my belief that the waiter was attempting to get us to pay again through deception, although I can't prove it. At any rate I would not recommend anyone eating here and if you do, I would strongly suggest paying by cash rather than card as I believe that this restaurant has crooks and thieves working there. I also doubt if we were the first that this deception was attempted on or the last. Go elsewhere, not here. On the plus side the food was nice, but we will never return.
