T & J Chinese Restaurant in Gosport

My wife and I moved to Gosport seven years ago. We both enjoy Chinese food and while there is a good choice of take away establishments the eat in Chinese restaurant choices are limited. We soon discovered T & Js but the restaurant didn't look particularly inviting and so the years went by without a visit. However they do offer a good lunch time deal and after discovering they enjoyed good reviews we decided to bite the bullet and give them a try. What a pleasant surprise. The staff were friendly and obliging and the food was delicious. The £10 lunch option offered a starter, main and soft drink or tea or coffee. We have been back since and shall now continue to frequent the restaurant. We would have visited the establishment far earlier than we did had it had kerb appeal and others will probably perceive the place in a similar vein.

Staff are always really friendly, great takeaway as well

The food was impeccable,just a real treat for our taste buds! All portions were whomungus, pipping hot and very,very spectacularly full of mythicaly tasty flavours,they also gave me a free rice as our order was so massive and huge and big,thank you so much to the Owner,the staff,the cleaners and everyone else involved! I love being happy with T&J food all in my belly! Yummy,yummy,scrummy! Happy Chinese new year to everyone and thank you for a very,very good and nice day at my house with my family that I love when we eat T&J ahahahahah such a great day! Ahahahah nice classics ahahaha wow just great!

Good food and good service for decent price.

Lovely little Chinese, close to the centre. Great food

Warm welcome and authentic taste serving. Excellent

Great customer service, very friendly. The food was really nice, and piping hot 🔥 would recommend for a night out.

Probably the most unclean place I’ve ever been in the UK. Really average food that is very uninteresting. I’ve had Chinese food in many different countries but never had anything like this.

Got a takeaway tonight. The food was faultless, and customer service was 2nd to none. I highly recommend 👌 will definitely be back when we are in the area again

Visited here recently for a family birthday meal. Amazing food! Great atmosphere, and brilliant service from the lovely waitress Sarah. Highly recommend the chicken wings and the duck! Will definitely be returning.

We visited on a whim on a Friday evening a few weeks ago and would definitely return! Kyra and Sarah were very attentive upon arrival. Sarah who served us was very knowledgeable of the menu which helped us decide what to order. We both chose dishes we wouldn't normally choose based on Sarah's explanation of how it was cooked and served. Highly recommend.

We had a meal from your restaurant the other night, and I'm sorry but it was awful. The chicken in my curry was prepared in some kind of weird way, I can't even be sure it was chicken! We also had noodles and rice which tasted burnt. Sorry but this not the first time this has happened. Your restaurant used to be our favourite family restaurant for sit down meals and takeaways. We won't be using you again, unless you change your kitchen staff. Sorry.

Really good food really kind service from Jackson

As a couple and as a family we've been here for countless meals and every time is lovely. Food is fantastic and the staff are just so friendly it's what keeps us coming back every time 🥰

Fresh, friendly, tasty, good value

Great place to eat. People there are very friendly and are ready to help with anything. Food is good as well. Love the chow mian dishes. 👍👍👍

Couldn't fault the service or the food, just one niggling customer being rather loud 🤔

Never knew this place existed until my friends took me there..food was great and the service was amazing.. I will definitely be returning

Brilliant food for the price, fantastic service. Could not go wrong! The only slight downside if you were picky would be slightly dated decor. The rest though for an all you can eat, a fantastic all around experience! Will revisit some time soon!

Took my 82 yr old mum to the restaurant, it was her first time here, she thoroughly enjoyed it as did my husband and I, the service was very friendly and attentive, the food was absolutely lovely

Lovely service from very friendly waitress. We went on a Monday evening, very quiet only 3 tables taken which seemed sad. Food was lovely, cooked to order, good temperature, even had a special for our anniversary. Good price too, will definitely be returning, never disappointed :)

There were 8 of us and everyone enjoyed the food, but it took an age to get fed and another age to pay the bills.

Very friendly staff and great food!

Lovely family run restaurant. . . Never had a bad experience here . . Highly recommended. . . Just off the main High Street in Gosport

Absolutely gorgeous meal, I will return soon again with friends. Lovely evening out for my birthday.

I ordered prawn crackers and a rice dish that I didn't receive, very disappointed.

I wasn't very keen on Chinese food but was persuaded to go with a couple of friends. I came away with a very different view! Firstly, the service was excellent! For a Friday, it was a quiet evening - only two or three other tables busy. The young lady who served us was very charming and cheerful and she was extremely helpful. I haven't come across this before, but apparently it's not uncommon. The restaurant offers a fixed price menu, and you can continue to order for two hours. The only stipulation is that, once you order a main course, you can't go back to starters. Well, we made a very good meal of it. We enjoyed two or three rounds of starters and then a main course - by which time, I had had plenty! I couldn't fault any of the dishes - the prawn toast was exceptionally good and the main course of sweet and sour pork was nothing like the sweet and sour gristle I'd experienced in other venues. Next time I'm in Gosport, this will be my first choice for a night out - I really enjoyed it! So scoring: Food - excellent, really enjoyed it, so one tick People - our waitress was a lovely girl and did a great job - an easy tick Environment - all seemed clean and comfortable with high-backed booths that deadened sound so another tick Value - My dinner, with three small bottles of beer, was £31 - can't complain at that. Tick Would I recommend/go again - well, yes - tick!

Possibly worst take away in Gosport waited 1 hour and 1hour and 45 mins for bad food

Can't fault anything about this place. You are not rushed and they make sure everything is OK. A lovely relaxing tasty meal.

We arrived just as they were shortly going to shut, but they were great and let us still sit in and eat. Thankyou!

Absolutely lovely staff, always welcoming. Food delicious and great portions. Worth the travel everytime 🥰 thank you!

This was definitely the worst meal I’ve ever ordered anywhere! The rice was bland and bulletproof, salt and pepper squid? Well if that’s what you call it I certainly would disagree, frozen rings serve with 2 strips of onion and 3 slices of chilli! Also bland and would serve better as a tyre on my son’s bike!! Crap utterly crap! And if you’re unhappy they will offer you 10% of the next time you order their food 😂

Amazing time, thank you. Very relaxed great service. X

After being disappointed that another all-you-can-eat style Chinese restaurant in the area was closed for Chinese New Year, we found T&Js on Google. It is tucked away off the beaten track and we would never have known it was there if we hadn't searched on Google! It's a bit like stepping back in time inside! It was pretty busy even though it was early on a Saturday evening, which was a good sign. The food was outstanding!! I love an all-you-can-eat menu that is freshly prepared. The crispy aromatic duck was superb. We just kept ordering food till we were totally stuffed! The staff were so lovely and friendly - had some nice chats with the waitresses. The price was brilliant too - such good value for money. I'm so pleased we found T&Js and the other place was closed! Cannot recommend highly enough - we will 100% be returning!

Did the all you can eat buffet menu and the food was surprisingly good! Everything was freshly cooked to order and delicious. The food came out promptly with exception of our final dish which is why I've left 4 stars. The only bad thing was that it was pretty chilly inside the restaurant, and the toilets even colder! 🥶 Would highly recommend, and go back again. Just dress up warm!

Sat here in the restaurant now. Not been here since lockdown. How times have changed. No prawn crackers. Only half the starters we ordered arrived at the table. Not particularly busy but waitress seems rushed off her feet. Should of gone to the great wall. Walked out.

Ok, so although we use T and J as a restaurant, this review is for their take out service. We pre-ordered a take out meal online, to be delivered on New Years Eve. Paid by PayPal online, booked for a certain time (7pm). Was able to tailor each item accordingly to taste online (extras, ingredients added or removed etc)... Friendly and punctual delivery driver dropped off the food on time and with a smile. I must say, even the take out Chinese food from T and J is absolutely awesome.... Tasty, plentiful and hot, it was perfect and I would definitely recommend to anyone. This will be out 'go to' take out Chinese food from now on.

Food generic, staff awesome, all 2 tables had a fun time but no heating so we where all very cold. Toilet light not on. Really was quit bad. But staff where awesome.

Great food and friendly attentive staff

Lovely food and great service every time we visit.

Excellent food, well priced and a lovely hostess :)

Ordered a take away that was delivered to our door. Delicious food, and though one item was missing we were able to pop down and collect it to complete our meal. Thank you for all your help.

Beautiful meal as always Didnt wait long , staff always lovely and helpful and always greet with a smile .

Tasted like it had been warmed up. Prawn balls had soggy batter and prawn toast crispy won ton were dried up. Had much better tasting and hotter food from other establishments. Very dissapointed.

We had reserved a table but on arriving preferred a round table so no one left on end. Staff were happy to set up more places and move chairs. Such a relaxed friendly restaurant. Food was very good especially the duck. Service was quick. I wanted to try capital sauce on ribs and asked if possible for just a taster as didn't want to waste food if I didn't like it. They were happy to oblige and tasted lovely. First time visiting and will definitely return.

Although Looking a little tired and in an empty shopping centre don't let that desive you the food is lovely service is prompt and polite would really recommend and would definitely go again

Such a pleasant experience. Staff were exceptionally friendly, service was prompt, food was excellent. They even adjusted a dish that wasn't on the menu. Resounding thumbs up from all 6 of us for the quality and deliciousness! Thank you, we will see you again soon.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and beautiful food. Will definitely come again :)

Couldn't fault them for nothing banging food we all well enjoyed it we will defo go back again 😋

Wonderful food and friendly service. The waiting staff are attentive and always happy to chat. We have been many times and have always had a great meal. I especially enjoy the Crispy Duck and my wife swears by the Salt and Chilli Mushrooms. She's a pescatarian and there is plenty of choice for her, and for vegetarians. Cannot recommend enough for dining in.

Tasty food, very friendly service. Food served . waitress lovely and very pleasant well recommed you eat here

Just had a take away from here first time, food was delicious and a quick delivery. After trying to find a decent Chinese for so long I have found the one finally! Will be ordering again thankyou really tasty food! :)

Friendly service. Fantastic all you can eat, all freshly cooked. Highly recommend!

The service excellent. The decor, well, don't think this place has had anything done for over 30 years. This isn't a dig but you just gotta see through this and simply enjoy the quality food.

Food was delicious, staff were lovely.

Fantastic service and all four starters & main courses were delicious Definitely be visiting again Thank you

The food and service was superb. Will definitely be returning soon. I've been visiting this wonderful place for nearly 50 years and will continue to do so.

Brilliant service, staff were so warm and helpful. The food was amazing, everything we had was delicious, the background music was wonderful. All in all a fantastic dining experience.. And to top it, in our fortune cookie it said we will find a beautiful new house in the year. Its exactly what I needed to read, as our house is no longer ours, after a house fire. Thank you TJs!

I'd really recommend the breakfasts and it caters well for vegans (including cakes and biscuits) Also has a good beer selection and there's always a good atmosphere.

Great food this evening. The duck in particular is amazing! Sarah (FOH) is lovely, down to earth and so helpful! We will be back again as a monthly treat!

Nice varied choice on the menu. We went for the set menu instead of the al a carte.

Definitely a hidden Gem. I wish we had found this place before Who knew that something so nice had been right in front of our eyes for so long. Value for money is amazing and the quality of the food is good. The staff couldn't be friendlier. Thank you

This place is so under rated the food is so good. Everything is so fresh and the staff are lovley nothing is to much trouble! Our favourite!

Fantastic service, delicious food and generous portions! First time visiting today with the family and we had a lovely time. The waitress was sooo nice and sooo helpful, we were treated very well and would definitely come back if we’re in the area :) thank you and keep doing what you do!

Very hard to find a good Chinese dine in restaurant. We went here based on the reviews we read online. There was another Chinese restaurant nearby, but the reviews were not good. The food and staff were both nice. I think the restaurant needs a wee bit TLC.

Such a strange little find in a most unassuming corner of Gosport. Could not fault the range and quality of the dishes we chose. Squid was particularly good as was the prawn dish. 5 happy eaters on the buffet option and one a la carte. We will return! Although ser ice was a bit hit and miss. All is forgiven. . These people are delightfully welcoming and mean well. A lovely evening!

Served by a lovely lady called Sarah nothing was any trouble she always had a smile , food was lovely can not wait to return.

Okay bit off the wall , but we enjoyed it not sure we would go back

Food was excellent, when one of our items was missing a full refund was given and I received a call back offering us a discount on our next meal, fantastic customer service would recommend to anyone.

The service was incredible. They were extremely attentive and very kind. Made our experience 10 times better!

Unpretentious, incredibly welcoming and great food. Really good food, outstanding and friendly service made us feel so welcome. So glad we found this little gem of a restaurant.

Great food really nice and hot, freshly cooked, and super friendly staff

Excellent, unpretentious little restaurant and take-away hidden away in a deserted mall. Welcome genuinely friendly and food very well cooked and prepared. At reasonable prices, best Chinese restaurant in Gosport.

Wonderful experience. Great buffet. Food was hot and fresh. 100% would come back. Loved the chicken satay!!!!

....nice meal...however the main was warm..it could of done with the: candle warmers..to keep the food hot! Whatever the event it was nice to see: 'Sarah'...what a fantastic young lady she is...I don't know what she is still doing in: 'Turk Town'..'the world is her oyster'...she is the best young person I have met in hospitality & she can go so far..but I would really miss her at the: T&J!...

Absolutely fantastic service and amazing food, was made to feel so welcome and comfortable 10 out of 10

Absolutely fantastic service and amazing food, everything was so tasty and perfect portion sizes. Excellent value for money.

The food is so good and the people are so friendly

Realy nice place to eat nice staff and good food and service

Took my children out for dinner, the staff were amazing with them, explaining the menu choices and the children ate so much I had to role them out the door.

Love our monthly visits to TJ's, the food is always great and the staff are lovely. We've been having our girlie night here each month for over 10 years!

Me and my best friend have eaten here loads together the food is unbelievable, all so tasty and fresh. So many options for vegetarians too! And the duck pancakes are our favourites. The waitress who served us most recently was just so sweet and couldn’t do more for us we really had a lovely dinner thankyou x

Me and my over half go there almost every month food as always really good staff are friendly and always rember us and have a good chat

Always come here for my takeaway - best Chinese in the area. They give generous portions and food is always hot. I highly recommend.

Amazing food! My new fave takeaway! Arrived earlier than estimated as well! Girl on the phone was lovely and friendly.

Another fantastic meal. Salt and chilli chips are amazing along the crisp chilli beef so tasty. The chicken chow mein is so light with loads of meat in it. The staff are always very polite and friendly and Sarah is a real asset with great customer service. All I can say is give it a try, we alway find pick up is better as it cooked in 15mins and if you have to wait you could always have a cheeky half 😆

Fantastic place to eat, extremely friendly and welcoming. All food great quality even though it’s offered as an “ all you eat” recommend

Nice food, good value, lovely family atmosphere.

Friendly staff and fantastic food which is always pipping hot. Generous portions. Highly recommend.

I had a delicious meal delivered this evening I usually have my take aways from TJ They've never disappointed me

Very nice all you can eat meal last night. Attentive service as normal. Still much recommended. Happy Chinese New Year to all.

Absolutley appauling! portion size is a complete disgrace especially for the price.Mixed meat chow mein had 2 prawns in! and an awfully small size. The kong po chicken had more onion than chicken.. Even charge for a bag for delivery..food just was not great at...

Lovely food and happy atmosphere

What a rubbish place to BOOK a table, it was freezing in there, could not give us any idea of how long the food would be. It was our anniversary and we have been there almost every year and regularly before the new owners. . The air con is still charmingly taped to the ceiling and the poor waitress who was pushed under the bus must have been so embarrassed having to tell us there may be a long wait for you food, but we can't estimate how long. Walked out after half hour Will never go back or order any more deliveries So sad as we loved that place with it's private booths etc.....

We use T&J for our weekly takeaway and their food always arrive hot. Their all you can eat is excellent value for money too with a wide range of selections freshly prepared. Staff are always so friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble for...

Brilliant food and amazing customer service! Their all you can eat is great value for money with a huge range to choose from and everything is freshly prepared. We like to come during the weekdays when its quiet. Highly recommend!

About a year ago me and a friend worked there for an evening to earn a bit of extra cash. We were appalled by the hygiene in the kitchen and respect from the staff. When we arrived our phones were taken until we finished, we worked 6-11 with no break and then they proceeded to ask us to stay till 12, this is quite concerning considering our ages at the time and we still had to find our way home. We started off by washing dishes and they refused to let us refill the sink when it got cold and dirty, there was no soap. My friend was then made to clean the toilets. We both watched them prepare the food with there bare hands whilst putting noodles into pots, they also moulded the food on the plates with their hands. I didn’t once see them wash their hands and they weren’t wearing gloves and didn’t appear to use any safety precaution. Let’s just say they offered us a meal after and we never went back.

The service was amazing. The staff are always so friendly and lovely. We had great chats inbetween our meals. Such good value for money. The staff really go out there way. The food was great. Thank you for a lovely night. 5 stars from us.
