Ternary Chinese Restaurant in Belfast

First of all, the food quality was good. The roasted duck was fabulous and my husband really enjoyed 蒜蓉炒通菜 which we did not take a picture. In spite of the good food, we did not have a good experience in this restaurant. I’d have to say this is one of the places with worst service in the Uk I have encountered. When we asked about the differences of two fish dishes, the waitress replied in an unwelcoming tone, “they cooked in different ways”. I supposed if she was not sure, she could have asked other staff members? And this was not a once off event. I later asked about the portion of the bowl of rice, and she replied, “a bowl”. If one have experience of eating in a Chinese restaurant, one would know a bowl could vary a lot in size. I explained I wanted to know the portion as I didn’t want to waste the rice while I have a young child aged 4 with us. I got an answer that each person should order one bowl rice. I did so, and turned out we had to waste one full bowl of rice, as shown in picture 4. I saw some other reviews claiming staff members were helpful. It might just be us - as this was the one and will be the only time we are visiting this restaurant.

The service from start to finish was awful took 2 different staff to take our order I received my glass of wine Mt husbands beer took a further 20 mins one main dish was brought to table took a good 5 mins for other main and side dishes we then waited for bill ages and they tried to overcharge us not a good expert

Great for large groups, good value, tasty dishes in a traditional Chinese restaurant

I didn’t expect the fish soup to be so delicious. You can choose spicy food. I like it.

Food was fantastic and service was good too

Terrible experience. Despite booking two weeks in advance, we had no table ready and waited crammed at a small table. It took ages waiting for the food to be served after ordering. Service was nonexistent—no water or menus until we “begged”. Food quality has plummeted. Completely unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs.

Our trip to Belfast, Was made even better by the fantastic meal and service here ! Brilliant thank you

Waited for 50 minutes and no single dish is ready yet, and the staff at the restaurant says they want to be fast too. #horrendousService #WalkAway

We have tried here a few times before i wrote this review. My husband is a chef and he is very fussy he said the food was better this time, perhaps a new chef. It was tastier and presentation was better. It may be the best place to eat authentic Chinese food in Belfast. The Tong choi vegetable was cooked perfectly and the fried Tofu was delicious. Atmosphere is 3 star as its cold and a little dull inside.

I ordered a steamed bun with duck, but the pancake inside was a bit sour. I wanted to report the situation to the boss. As a result, the landlady had a very bad attitude and took away the cookies, then came back to prevaricate us and said there was no problem. I don’t know where the arrogant people are in business. They must think that no one can control them abroad? I’m really convinced! It's a very simple matter, but the result is like this. I hope that the merchants can really live up to their conscience. You can earn this money well and don't let yourself get retribution in the end. Point a steamed stuffed duck, the small cake inside a little sour, want to reflect the situation with the boss. As a result, the owner's wife had a very bad attitude, and took away the cake, and came back to tell us that there was no problem. Do not know where to do business, must feel that no one can manage them in foreign countries? I really took it! A very simple thing, the result of dealing with this, I hope the business can really live up to their conscience, this money you make good, don't finally let yourself bad karma.

A very bad experience. The waiters in the restaurant had a good attitude, but the proprietress's service awareness was extremely poor. The quality and taste of the dishes were very poor, and one of the dishes was spoiled. We raised a problem with the boss, but the boss did not want to solve the problem. ,bad attitude. It was a very bad experience. The waiter in the restaurant had a good attitude, but the boss's wife's sense of service was extremely poor, the quality and taste of the dishes were very poor, and one dish was corrupt and deteriorated. We raised questions to the boss, but the boss did not want to solve the problem, and his attitude was very bad.

I'm not Chinese so can't tell if foods are authentic, but they taste fresh and nice. Took only 15' for dishes to be ready

Great food, great prices. In my opinion, best place in Belfast for authentic Chinese food.

Love this place food is very different so if looking the European type restaurant not for you the menu is very different but most excellent really worth a try for a new experience The staff are very helpful so ask if not sure Excellent value for money

My Girlfriend and I went there on Sunday night and ordered four dishes (the meat ball soup, garlic choy sum, tofu and preserved egg and tomato beef claypot). All of them were very tasty and authentic Chinese dishes. There was very good atmosphere in the restaurant. We saw a few family groups as well as Chinese students. It seemed very popular within the local Chinese community as well. It's definitely recommended!

We love the fish soup and pork, recommend it! We are waiting for a while to get food as its quite busy ;) 饭点高峰时间可能上菜比较慢

Food was good, unfortunately it took so long to be served

点了三菜一汤，酿三宝 藕夹 铁板鸡胗 肉丸汤，全是只要备好菜，下锅勾一下芡就能上的。等了一个小时没上菜，催菜“5分钟再不上我们就走”立刻就上菜了，真就看人下菜碟？服务员脑子不好，问某道菜有没有，都要去后厨现问，您家菜单一共没几页，哪道菜有没有不知道吗？服务态度只剩下耐心，叫就来，让催菜就答应，后脚马上去其他桌收盘子，根本就没去后厨，您哪怕走个过场呢？总之祝愿早日倒闭

首先是点了五道菜，有两道菜没有。然后有一道菜叫做藕夹肉，结果上菜后发现根本没有肉只有两片藕夹了一层面糊，问了后厨说这道菜就是这样，没办法，后来在红烧肉里吃到了这个不明毛发，老板说是菜

형편없는 서빙과 빈약한 음식, 그리고 형편없는 맛으로, 그 집은 음식업계의 수치였다

Constantly declines orders in just eat even when they show online and available

I've no idea what's going on in these other reviews because my food and service was unbelievable. First of all, I hadn't a clue what to order as the menu is traditional Chinese food rather than your classic Belfast 20 quid special. I asked the young waiter and he went through classics with me, showed photos, advised what others were eating around me and what he preferred. We ended up getting the spicy chicken and the braised pork, 2 sides of noodles and 2 drinks. I couldn't even finish it, I actually can't wait to go back.

Excellent meal. They went out of their way to adapt a dish with tofu and pork so it was suitable for my vegan daughter. My husband and I had sizzling beef with black pepper and a dish which I have forgotten the name of something like Chingzhou chicken, which was deep fried in a light batter with salt and chilli. The meat was mouth wateringly tender, and the flavouring excellent. We were drawn in by the fact that all the other diners were Chinese, it was clean and well-decorated, and service was fine - we had Chinese tea, which they kept topping up with hot water so we did not have to re-order. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant - a real gem

Had dinner on Sat 25th Feb. Ordered hot and sour soup, chicken fried thin noodles, roast duck, and sweet sour chicken. Have to say the duck was nice. They didn't have bbq pork or char sui as its commonly known.

Some nice seafood dished, but you have to check with them if it is available. The restaurant also very cold, be prepared. The food quality could be very random, sometimes there is no flavour, and other times are too salty

Tasty food, will surely come back

十分糟糕的体验 等餐时间非常的长，等了2个多小时最后我们的菜品也没上齐，和工作人员理论时还有厨师从厨房冲出来想打人 这家餐厅没有能力接待很多的的客人，如果看到人很多，就别去了吧。

非常に悪い経験は、我々はいくつかの料理のために数時間待って、最後に私たちに言った、ウェイターの態度は非常に貧弱であり、非常にお勧めしません!

老板态度恶劣，说话毫无逻辑，把自己当成土皇帝恐吓客人。结帐时会算错数，恳请各位核对账单。餐厅上菜速度极慢，而且每道菜价钱高昂并且份量十分之少。感觉我从中国点外卖船运到北爱尔兰比这间餐厅的上菜速度更快。十分不建议游客或本地人到访这餐厅！并且希望员工及老板早日回去小学学习什么叫礼貌和数学加减乘除！ 重复，十分不建议游客或本地人到访这餐厅！

这家餐厅的服务奇差无比，从来没有等餐超过一个小时 过，如果餐厅有最差颁奖仪式，这家餐厅能够荣登最佳。希望它能早日倒闭，不再祸害其他游客以及当地居民

非常非常非常差！等了一个多小时连筷子都没有，一道简单的空心菜要等一个半小时。比我们晚来的人都喝到了鱼汤，我们的都迟迟没有上来，当我们询问的时候，和我们说鱼没有了！！当我们在去询问的时候，他们的店员甚至想要打我们！

从来没见过这么垃圾的服务，因为自己的疏忽导致其中一个菜一个半小时都没能上来，最后和我们说没有了；实在是太差劲了一点，哪怕态度好一点和我们解释一下都可以，可是拽的要死，实在没办法理解，这样的态度还是别开餐馆了，去当土匪比较适合

We got a takeaway from here tonight. On ordering a staff member had to make sure they weren't sold out of chicken??? Should have rang alarm bells. When we got home. The chicken consisted of scraps and included bone off the chicken (pink throughout) Absolutely inedible. I have never been sold such disgusting food in my life. Avoid.

Best Chinese takeaway in Belfast , needs to start doing delivery tho

More than an hour long waiting for just 3 dishes. Staff busy waitressing new customers. Wouldn’t RECOMMEND this place! BAD service!

Came to this restaurant for the first time with my family and we all enjoyed the delicious food. We came on a Monday early evening and the restaurant was packed so ensure you book beforehand. My mum ordered real Chinese food and it was so good, she ordered 6 or 7 dishes so not sure what they are called. I took a photo of the dishes so I can show the restaurant the next time I visit. They also do takeaways. My 9 year old said he would like to come back to this restaurant on his birthday lol. I would definitely be back.

Went here on a date with my girlfriend and was not disappointed, food was fantastic, well garnished, got 2 sides, mains, starters and drinks cost just over 33 quid. Service was fantastic and we were given free peanuts for what was a moderate wait time for the food. The plates and bowls were fine with soup being served in lovely fine pots brought to the table and fish served on a skillet with sauces. 5 stars will be back soon

This is the worst Chinese meal I have ever had,and I have had a lot of chinese it was slow to coke out and was cold when it came,when I tried to complain nobody spoke English avoid this dump at all costs there is far far better within 5 minutes walk

Nice place. Friendly staff. Good food. What more do you want? lol

Incredible food. Go with Chinese friends for full menu

Very slow service, taste is not great (had sweet and sour chicken with rice and duck spring rolls). Also please check your bill as they charged me incorrectly (instead of a meal deal for 14.8£, they charged me for each dish separately, so I ended up paying like ~4£ more, I realised that there was a mistake only after I left).

Some of the best Chinese food I've had in the UK. Had the meatball soup (手工肉丸汤), tofu with preserved egg (皮蛋豆腐), choy sum with garlic sauce (菜心), and the Chong Qing fried fish (重庆烤鱼). Everything was delicious, but the tofu was my personal favorite—I highly recommend. The staff were also very friendly and helpful when ordering. I should note, many of the more authentic dishes can only be found on the Chinese menu, which they also have an English transcript of, if you can't read Chinese, so you'll probably have to ask for one if you're not Chinese...

Pretty slow service. Has speakers in restaurant (as they were able to play happy birthday song on for my husband while they brought out the cake) but not using, so it could be pretty quite and awkward if just couple tables in. Staff would not pick dirty/empty glasses / plates unless you ask them 3 times.... On a bright side food was really nice and prices were really good.

Liked the food here. But they pulled off the buffet which is bad.

Beautiful. The salted chilli is amazingggg

This place was recommend to me my order was a simple curry chip with onions chips arrived hard with little sauce and raw onion shavings over the top very poor to say the least

I really like the food here. A perfect place to enjoy Chinese food with friends. For me it’s the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Belfast.

SMELLS AND TASTES LIKE DOG FOOD - chips were soggy and vegetarian satay sauce tasted like prawns

Ordered the honey chilli beef through Uber eats and a few pieces tasted like fish which was an unpleasant surprise. Wouldn’t order from here again.

Love the food here~ Authentic Cantonese Chinese Food! Love the soup!

Delicious food and friendly service Highly recommended

Just got takeaway delivered as we are in Belfast for the weekend. We got the munchy box which was £9.50. Much smaller than we are used to getting at home for the price but WOW, it was gorgeous! Nicest chinese I have had in a long time. Shredded chicken was almost like chicken goujons, real chicken. Perfect amount of spice on everything, the only thing I would advise is get an extra dip of choice as they are small and I like my sauce. Will definitely order again on next visit here. 👍

Cheap but food is terrible. Like from several days before and was put into microwave

Bad staff attitude and bad food

Good quality buffet. Has usual dishes like your sweet and sour chicken, curry and beef xo. At the minute it’s £5,50 all you can eat lunch. More expensive at tea time but they have extra dishes. I’ve tried other buffets in Belfast but this is the best

Lied when I called up about a missing order, told me that it had only left a minute ago despite being marked as delivered by the driver. I'm not the first that has been lied to either. Normally, if an order doesn't turn up, I just request a refund and I'm done with it. But I really don't appreciate being bloody lied to when I've given you my money.

Excellent service. Food was really fresh and full of flavour!!!

Good food and great value for money. 😊

Tried the takeaway and was very impressed! The food was amazing and very tasty. It also arrived very quick! Will order again!

We ordered take away from here and it was great. The special udon was delicious, really good prawns, as was the peking beef. Tried the orange chicke which was nice but a bit too sweet for me personally. I would definitely order again.

Bbq ribs were lovely, honey chilli crispy chicken very fresh and noodles were great Aswell.

Very tasty food. Probably the best chinese takeaway in the area. Staff are friendly too.

Food is fresh and tasty each time we have ordered a take away

Arrived at 7 didn't receive food till 8 it is now 8.20 and one of our groups won ton soup has not arrived, food quality is poor and tasteless not Fresh. One of our party ordered Won ton noodle soup 40mins later we were told Chef won't make it as it's not on menu. Avoid if you don't want tasteless poor quality food and service.

Great staff, good food but the waiting leaves a lot to be desired. Takeaway could take more than half an hour if it gets busy. Only ordered half a duck, cold dish and that took 20 mins. I think I'd rather sit in next time.

Great place to eat staff wonderful great value for money meals are great visited there 4 times in ten days while visiting Belfast would recommend brilliant 👍

Food is a bit dear but meal is ok. Staff service need to improve, they all either stand at the back/corner together or all come at once when each dish arrive. Need to pay attention to the empty tea pots for water refill.

Great food, some Sichuan dishes as well.Fairly priced! I really recommend their honey sesame chicken.

Had intended to eat in the Japanese next door but it had only one table of 4 eating in while the Ternary was alive with Asian diners. A huge menu with familiar dishes but also more unusual choices including 'hot pot' dishes which would be suitable for a group to share. Waitresses were attentive and kept busy. I never visited the bathroom but the tables were certainly well cleaned between customers. Hope to visit again later in my stay here.

Wonderful. Lovely food and great service. And very good value.

I was staying nearby and ended up here for dinner. I had not planned to dine here it was a last minute decision. I found a few on line reviews which were favourable so that swung it for me. On reaching the restaurant, I was a little surprised to find almost all the customers were Asian. Wasn’t what I expected in Belfast. Anyhow it made me think if the Asian community is coming for food then the quality should be OK. The food was fine. No complaints. It took a bit longer to come than expected but not enough to complain. The waitresses staff were very efficient. The inside of the restaurant could do with some redecoration so if the ambience and decor are important to your visit, then this might disappoint you. It is not as well decorated as some other Chinese restaurants. The most disappointing thing for me was the condition of the washroom. It was very grubby. More like a rough bar. Not really what is expected in a dining establishment.

A nice Chinese cuisine restaurant serving regular Chinese dishes and hotpot and BBQ too. Staff are warmly friendly and helpful. Lots of local seafood with an authentic taste not expensive.

Fantastic place... You can get a knife and fork if your not good with chop sticks. They seem to have a more Western and a more traditional menu. We ordered off the more traditional and it was amazing.

Pleasant waitress, we got a takeaway but bear in mind they've no gluten-free options other than salad.

Went with a group of colleagues. Concerned by the state of hygiene in toilets. Food took a long time to come and there was a smell of much used cooking oil. Tasted bland. 3 of our party were physically sick a few hours later.

Excellent quality food, looks & tastes freshly made. Will definitely be back soon and will try the hot pot buffet.

I love this place. Personally I think it is the gold restaurant, in terms of price and good quality $_$. Portions are big and hot (©) (๑¯ω¯๑)

This is a amazing place that I would recommend for group dinning for barbecue and hotpot. Various flavours for hotpot soup is provided, and then meats for barbecue were fresh. There were prawns, crab, pork belly, beef, etc. All the things were really fresh and all you could eat for a really decent price. The boss and the waiters were really attentive as well. However, when the place gets busy, it would get a little bit noisy. There were kids running around on the day that we visited so thats why a star has been deducted, as it's dangerous in a restaurant. Nevertheless, can't wait to come back!!

11 of us went for Mother's day. The service was very slow and not very professional. My daughter got over charged for drinks and took over an hour to take our orders. The starters were very good but came at all different times. The mains were not great.

Staff seem unsure of what they should be doing,some dishes very expensive.

food was amazing it was incredibly tasty we got to sit at her own table it's basically a buffet but you pay like £16 per person it's very affordable and you get to cook your own food.I would definitely come back here again it's amazing .

Was told its a great Chinese if there's lots of Chinese people using it.... This is no word of a lie it was top notch definately going again. Good food good price.

I really enjoyed the food The staff where REALLY pleasant And HELP full . Would be BACK AGAIN x

Excellent food, charming service.

Fantastic for hot pot or more authentic Chinese than a typical takeaway in Belfast

Last time here it was very slow,but this time much better. One problem is it is very cold as main entrance opens straight into the restaurant. I went for 2 course special under 16 pounds. Salted chilli squid was very fresh and yummy,but I picked a lot of the small chilli pieces off it. A warm plate came for main of veg curry with boiled rice. Though it was a bit slow to come. I sipped at my jasmine tea whilst waiting. Curry came with white onion,red onion,sugar snap peas,peas,broccoli,carrot and green pepper. I would have liked mushroom and sweet corn. The sauce was a warm creamy just nice spicy flavour but I think perhaps some veg was frozen as there seemed to be water content in the sauce. Still it was good. Rice just well enough cooked but a little small though. I will recommend it though. Lots of chinese people eating is a good sign.

Went here tonight, had a steamboat and bbq buffett. It was so good!! The steamboat soup was tasty. Alot of choice for meat, seafood and veg. Fresh meat and fish. Buffett comes with free dessert. Staff was very helpful, always asking if we were okey, very friendly. Left the place feel very happy. Will deff back again.

Food was amazing, service very professional and courteous. Most authentic Chinese cuisine I've had in Belfast. Can't wait to come back!

It's lovely and homely and I felt extremely welcomed, will be back for more!

My fab place to eat! No more home sick for me. Lovely staff, great food selection but should be less MSG and it will be perfect.

Great food & super helpful nice staff!! Thank you!

Bring your appetite! Allow a couple of hours for the hot pot/bbq. Yum

I was delighted to find a restaurant open this late, so close to my hotel. At 11.30pm, it was busy, but I had no problem finding a seat. Service was good, prices very reasonable. I had chicken satay skewers for starter, chicken in chilli and honey sauce with egg fried rice for main. Excellent house wine. The satay sauce was lovely, but the chicken skewers were too dry. I had an excuse not to finish them, as my main arrived after I'd finished just one! This was much better. Would recommend, but avoid the satay skewers!

Called in to this place on my way to the Sun Kee restaurant, I am glad i did. Everyone in the restaurant that night was Chinese. My wife and I were the only westerners in the place. There was a function of some sort, maybe that was why they were all Chinese. We were made very welcome and showen to our table. We ordered drinks which came quite quickly and shortly after a pot of Chinese tea. Things were going well apart from the restaurant being very cold. We ordered our food and waited quite a long time but it was well worth the wait. The fried rice was amazing. The sizzling fillet of beef, the vegetables, the sauce, the entire meal was the finest Chinese meal I have ever tasted. This restaurant deserves 5 stars. I have given it 4stars simply because it was cold. My wife and I will be back very soon and I certainly recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely love this place - best all you can eat in Belfast and very decent price

Great place for chinese food in belfast!

I was seated quickly. Order taken. Then nothing happens. Place was freezing cold with door kept open. Jasmine tea came quick but that's all. Prawn crackers came after 15 minutes. Salted chilli squid starter took another ten minutes. They had a number of tables filled...

If you choose the self cook BBQ and hotpot pick what you want, as many times as you want from open chiller cabinets or freezers. Staff are incredibly polite, curtious, helpful and will explain how to use the cooking table. They will also make you various dips foe the meats and show you how to make your own. The milk tea was amazing.

had Vietnamese beef soup with usual additions n complementary tea. £7 what a bargain. delicious n took me back to Vietnam. well worth visit if i want real Asian food. also love Same Happy across road. Donegal Pass has few proper Chinese eateries. I'll be back.

Had a great dinner for a fantastic price. There was hotpot and BBQ for same price and they had a great variety of food for both.
