A traditional Chinese. We had a set meal which was very good. Crispy duck excellent, sesame prawn very good. The lemon chicken however was over sweet for our palate. It’s rather old fashioned and could benefit from a refresh. However it’s good food and friendly service and it’s good value.

My family and I enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Kings Restaurant in Odiham. The food was incredibly fresh and exceptionally tasty. We had sizzling king prawns, sizzling fillet of beef, chicken and cashew nuts with chicken satay to start . I can’t fault either the food or the staff, who were very attentive. However, as a dining experience it was such a shame that the beautiful listed building wasn’t matched by the decor inside, which is in dire need of updating and refreshing. In addition, and quite bizarrely, in place of crisp white linen tablecloths there are brown table protectors on top of the tablecloths, which make it look very plastic and cheap. Although these table protectors look quite new, they will become a trap for food in due course, which is of concern. As the food is outstanding, I would consider dining there again but would bring my own tablecloth. The food isn’t cheap but sadly the interior makes it look that way. In years gone past, it was a fine dining restaurant- with a little investment it could be again. It does currently seem to be very busy on takeaways

We had my dad staying with us and my brother came down from Newcastle, so a great opportunity to go out for a family meal Most places were fully booked, it was the first weekend inside dining was allowed again, so that made sense However, we were fortunate enough to get a table here Immediate disappointment for us, when the staff informed us the menu was catered to the Western palate - but not surprising and almost all regional Chinese restaurants are Unless it’s located in a large urban site like London, Birmingham etc, you’ll rarely find authentic Chinese food (guess that’s the same for any non British cuisine really) However, they were kind enough to produce a non listed dish, that my dad requested and we decided to try the standard traditional western options like crispy shredded beef and sweet and sour pork All were good, especially the non listed dish - we ended up ordering another portion of that one The only criticism I have is that the Szechuan dishes were not spicy at all - again, we just assumed the local Odiham residents probably couldn’t handle the heat and so the restaurant had to dumb it down All in all, we had a great time

Approached this meal unsure what to expect, but fancied Chinese for a change. Really pleasantly surprised, and ordering was really easy online. We had the crispy duck, king prawns with ginger, sweet and sour chicken and prawns (to make sure we got some ourselves with 2 hungry boys!) and the beef in black bean. All very tasty and we are quite fussy. We ordered the mixed starter too, and probably wouldn’t order that again as a bit too greasy and beige for our taste. Took almost 90 minutes to be ready even though we ordered at 6:30, and no way to tell how long it will take to be ready before submitting the order. So would recommend putting your order in early and specifying when you want it rather than waiting and expecting it in 20-30 minutes.

This was possibly the worst Chinese I have ever had. Took 1 bite of the chicken and had to throw the whole meal away. It was rubbery and disgusting and totally inedible! I fully expected this to be restaurant standard as it isn't cheap but nope! We have just moved to Odiham but will never be eating here again! Feel robbed and hungry!

Busy Saturday and an hour and a half forecast wait. Not a problem. Arrived more or less on time. Tasty food and no problems with portions. Well packaged and added bonus of re- usable plastic containers. Prices may be a little high, but matched by quality. Never had a poor deal from here and have been going for years.

I have been a loyal customer to this particular Chinese for almost a year I ordered my food at 1800 after calling them at 2114 i was told that they are really sorry and that i cannot have my order after they accepted the order at 1815. We have waited almost 3 hours for this food and now its too late to order anything else. Thanks for a terrible end to a terrible year. I guess they earned enough money tonight to not care about their loyal customers.

This used to be the best Chinese restaurant for many miles, not so anymore.Prices hiked ridiculously high, portion sizes almost halved and they weren't enormous to start with, and, the worst of all, the quality of the ingredients has been reduced. Food is still reasonably tasty but not a patch on how it used to be and certainly not worth the price, although I've raised what was going to be a two star rating to a three simply because of their tofu dishes, many Chinese restaurants simply do not cater for vegetarians so they do score a win there.

A year ago i wrote a positive review of King's. Unfortunately we decided for a return visit with hopes of a repeat experience. That was not to be. The restaurant was virtually empty and the food we were served was appalling. The rice must have been collected from left overs and packed in a small bowl, almost set and very stiff. We left it. The rest of the meal was just as bad. Tasteless and obviously reheated in a half hearted attempt to disguise the fact. It really is a shame as our French friends, when visiting, always used to ask if we could take them to "That good Chinese". That will not be happening again! Very sad to have to say this after so long and so many visits in the past.

Visited with my family for my son’s birthday. Really enjoyable dinner. Salt & pepper squid, prawn balls & the crab claws were a great choice for appetisers along with a few others, the crispy duck followed and was quickly polished off. I was stuffed by then but the others ordered a prawn and a beef dish, which was a little excessive but too good to leave! Can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a Chinese meal this much.

There was no atmosphere, no music but you could over hear the TV playing at the bar. Including our table there were 5 tables being used. For some reason we were all put into one corner of the restaurant despite it being quite a large venue.My wife and I didn't go for the set/ eat as much as you can menu as we chose to go for the better variety. Everything we ordered was bland and we were charged 60p for any sauces! Which came as a small saucers worth. Never seen that before. The carrots were not cooked enough and the meat didn't seem of the highest quality. When ordering the pancakes we were served 2 each, presumably there is an extra charge for more. The staff were polite and the food did come quite quickly and was served very hot. Considering we only drunk green tea with our meal it totalled £63, which I would have been more than happy to accept had the food been tasty and more varied. A shame as it's in a lovely old building in a nice area. I can see why there were only 5 tables booked on a bank holiday! If you know your asian food, you may want to give it a miss.

This used to be a quality Chinese restaurant. However, in recent months, and in particular last week, the food has been sub-standard. The chicken we were served had an unreal, stringy texture, and tasted of nothing. When I questioned the waitress, she said, "Thats how it comes". The service has also declined, with a surly, unhelpful attitude common amongst the staff.

Have tried King's food twice since we moved here from Surrey (where we had an excellent Chinese restaurant so we know good Chinese food) and both times it has been appalling. On the second occasion this evening, the noodles with beansprouts were drenched in soy sauce, so much so it was too salty to eat. The Kung Po Chilli Chicken had a lump of bone in it (lucky I didn't break a tooth) and all the food was greasy and anaemic - the oil clearly was not hot enough. It came out too quickly to be cooked from fresh. For a delicious Chinese (takeaway only), with portions twice the size, cooked freshly to order and more reasonable in price, go to Poh Wah up the road in Hook. Its cash only though!

The food very poor and overpriced. slimy stodgy chicken boiled to death. The rice very greasy and only warm. The drinks are very expensive indeed. £4.50 for a bottle water almost as much as a pint of larger. None of the food looked or tasted great. I have to say one to avoid on our list of eateries local to us. Why on earth pay £40 for food and end up with food that you could of made look and taste better yourself. Poor 4/10. Its very bland inside the restaurant and dirty in places. The building has some nice features like the beams etc. POOR EXPERIENCE. Staff were nice.

I pre-ordered as requested, and can honestly say that it was the most perfectly presented, well cooked and totally delicious fresh lobster that we have ever had! .

Outrageous. Dire service from beginning to end. Upon entering the rude staff directed us where to sit like we were in high school. They were all in a frantic rush and forgot my drink but still tried to charge me for it at the end. The portion sizes were a JOKE.... A main dish is the size of a starter portion in normal restaurants and the rice and soup...like eating from a doll's tea set! And the quality of the food was just appalling. My partner said his vegetable dish was like a 'salt water mouth wash' and the wanton soup was almost inedible. When we politely complained the main bossy waitress was instantly defensive and said "why you eat it!?" Altogether it was a horrible dining experience and I have NEVER eaten in a place this bad. Avoid at all costs.

We regularly go to Kings for a takeaway as only decent Chinese around! However, we have noticed the portions have been cut in size lately and the chicken isn't as good quality as before either. Saturday we ordered fried noodles with beansprouts and was given it without, just plain noodles, and half were missing! The portions have definitely been cut, we've noticed that the last few times we've had a takeaway! Also, ordered chilli sauce and got given sweet chilli sauce?! Saying all this, the beef is always great beef and without a doubt it's the best quality takeaway for miles!! Please don't cheat your regulars with smaller portions and same price, we will notice!

I'd heard locally that this restaurant provided excellent takeaway food so had high hopes when we booked our table. It was quite busy in the restaurant and very busy in takeaway area. Service was a bit chaotic and waiting staff had to check with each other that they were taking the right food to the right table.We were served copious amounts of quite unpleasant crispy seaweed. We also opted for the most expensive set meal for three. The highlight was the crispy duck which was quite nice and as expected but everything else was very disappointing and all the main dishes tasted the same. The special fried rice was particularly bad - over cooked and crispy with just a few peas and strips of rubbery chicken. The staff were pleasant and friendly though.We will not be returning.

Myself and husband went here last night with friends..Sat 10th September. The inside decor seriously needs attention, very old, uncared for and shabby, seating is like old seaside cafe! Lady behind bar was madly busy with take away orders so we stood for a while before being seated, busy on a Saturday night and only 2 waiting staff who were running about like loons looking very stressed! Waited a fair while for anybody to take our drinks order. Ordered the mixed starter to share plus 2 other portions of starter & I agree with another reviewer on the small portion sizes...I will say the food was very nice but not the best restaurant Chinese I've had by a long shot..we then had duck followed by mains with rice to share...all ok but by no means memorable but pricey! Husband said it's the only place he's been that cost a fair amount but had ancient burgundy urinals and to dry your hands ripped off pile of kitchen towel hahaha!! Had fun with our friends but won't rush back!! Give it some tlc, spend some money on it as they must be making some and one more staff member perhaps then we might give it another go.

I went here with a friend last night, couldn't get our usual place. This was the set menu we opted for: Crispy Seaweed/Mini Spring Rolls/Chicken SatayBarbecued Spare Ribs/Sesame Prawn ToastThe starters are actually a spring roll, a rib, a prawn toast (slice) and seaweed that would fit two desert spoons. This economy was a theme, bar the duck, which was more, but very dry. Even the rice, which usually bulks the meal fitted comfortably in a standard bowl, not even reaching the upper rim. I cannot stress how bad the portions were, to the degree both myself and my friend were holding back picking up food for fear of leaving the other one hungry. Never again and the bill was significant. Service was fine, but given the product, it needed something.

We decided to have the all you can eat option which turned out to be very tasty, wonderful choice and the service was friendly,polite and couldn't to enough for you. We will be going again! Highly recommend if you like Chinese. Very good value too. 4 of us went on June 8 2016.

Went there last night and had the buffet,very nice indeed if a little overpriced perhaps,This was after using the takeaway option previously where the manageress was rather sharp to say the least when we ordered our food and said we would be back after using the cashpoint...perhaps just not very trusting but still rude

Good food, quality and portions. Value for money. The feast menu for four was good although not enough sauce with the Peking duck. Super efficient service and has the reputation for being almost too fast. Probably be going again in May, so can' t be bad!

Went back here for the first time in a few years, as a treat to my kids. We went for the "buffet" meal. Firstly, the food was pretty nice, not excellent, but good. However, the portions were pretty small, and the "you can only order once" thing was a bit disappointing, especially when the menu is not even close to the normal full menu! I was especially annoyed that my children (8 and 11) were considered too tall and were charged as adults. I may not have minded but the overall cost, for how much food we actually received, was really not very much. At 100 for 2 adults and 2 children, I was unimpressed. A word on service too, perhaps waiting for people to sit before asking for their order and drinks would be a thought! The service was efficient but a bit too in-your-face, all the time asking for your order in an effort to get you done as soon as possible. All in all, I was really disappointed to have gone, such a shame for a place I once held in really high regard for their service, reasonable price, and excellent food. Service: 5/10, Food: 7.5/10, Value: 2/10.

We have visited this restaurant on many occasions over the years and have never been let down. The only disappointment is that they don't open on Sundays!The service is fast, but not rushed and always with a smile. The staff are very polite and well presented. The food is always wonderful.We love Chinese food and this really is one of the best we have ever eaten at. We are thankful it's so close to where we live that we can visit so often.If you enjoy excellent Chinese food and are considering this restaurant, please book yourselves a table. You will certainly not be disappointed.

We usually find our food goes one way or the other, different chefs maybe. It's either amazing or rubbish, no in between unfortunately. We use the take away service often, 2 or 3 times a month. They deliver locally which is brilliant and the drivers are always very polite.

We went here for my birthday the other week as I came to the King's years ago with my family for a meal and have always said I wanted to go back. I can't fault the food itself, albeit a little pricey, it's delicious and came out quickly after we ordered which was great as we were hungry! The staff are fantastic, so attentive and always around if you need them. The only thing that let the restaurant down was the restaurant itself, the heating clearly wasn't working and there was a small fan heater placed by the door to try and warm the place up but this really wasn't helping. We were sat by the door so it got a little cold.

We have visited this restaurant for years and always found the food reliable, tasty and authentic. My daughter has a nut allergy and they are excellent at ensuring her meal is completely nut free. Recently it seems to have had a revival and has been quite busy giving it a good buzz. There seem to be numerous takeaway orders too which meant the service was a touch slow on Saturday. However, that said, it didn't ruin the experience.

Visited after many years of promising ourselves we would and were not disappointed. Go mixed with beansprouts of vegetarian selection on the menu. Very willing to make a vegetarian hot and sour soup which was tasty. For a main I had fried tofu in blackbean sauce with an accompaniment of rice noodles. My husband enjoyed his meat based dish. Good atmosphere and service and reasonably priced. I can honestly say that this was one of the most delicious Chinese meals I have had for a long time and we do eat Chinese food regularly. Booking advised as this restaurant is not that large. Will revisit soon.

Remember those days when a trip to your local Chinese restaurant was an exciting sample of the exotic orient - plastic Buddha figures, lurid green "seaweed", chopsticks, fish tanks and Tsing Tao? It's all here - just more expensive. Food was OK at best; everything else was depressingly naff and stuck in a 1970's timewarp. Avoid.

This restaurant always serves lovely food and staff are courteous and efficient. I have never had anything other than a Feast C because everything is so yummy! Not cheap but very enjoyable. Before retirement we ate here regularly and now just occasionally. Do visit, you will not regret it.

Odiham has many excellent restaurants. However, Kings is one my family and I return to regularly because of the outstanding service. We used to take my Dad and even when he was becoming ill the staff responded to this and used to make a fuss of him and look out for him. The food is also really good and always well presented, and the ambiance always friendly and warm.

We were recommended this restaurant by friends who know we love chinese. My rating is 'average' because one cannot say it was outstanding in any way but on the other hand there was nothing wrong. Hence - ...Average. The staff were very attentive without being obtrusive and the dishes kept coming - maybe a little quicker than we were ready for. This slowed down when they realised we were in no hurry. BUT - we were surprised that they only kept 3 bottles of every wine on their list actually in their 'cellar' ....but it did mean we got to sample a few different wines. Would go again when in the area.

Used to be great. Now food has too much salt or MSG or both. Have had some inedible individual dishes. Have stopped having take-aways. A great shame as it used to be so good. Generally few tables occupied which presumably reflects consensus.

We had one of the banquets and it was terrific (I think it was banquet B). The crispy duck, bean sprouts and prawn toast are all must-trys.

Never had a bad takeaway from Po Lee and must have had dozens over the years, always piping hot and fresh. The salt and pepper chicken is a favourite.

Terrible. 2 1/2 hours to be delivered. They did rung 2 hours after we ordered it and was told it would be another 1/2 hour. Delivery driver was really nice and very apologetic. The food was hot but was awful. My husband liked his chicken curry but my sweet & Sour was not nice at all. Will never order from them again.
