Tycoon Chinese Restaurant in Test Valley

My partner specifically ordered dishes without mushrooms, as She cant eat them. When they arrived they had mushrooms in. She had spent the time on the phone asking for no mushrooms in three of the ordered dishes. Upon ringing the restaurant the lady offered to recook the dish, however by then the rest of her food would have been spolit. Its a shame as we have used tycoon many times, however its not the first time that mushrooms have had to be picked out! We sgall now use another local Chinese in the future as the service was substandard and quite frankly fell short of what was expected.

Really great food and reasonable in price, our go to Chinese buffet. The staff are lovely, really kind and attentive. Would recommend!

Not too sure what to say about this place. It is very confusing. One thing for sure... It's not really Chinese food. It's an English version of what Chinese food should be. Starters were terrible. Sweet seaweed, dry ribs, really bad satay sauce, greasy prawn toast with no prawns. Duck was as dry as it gets but the mains were acceptable. Squid in black bean sauce was a stand out. Avoid tea smoked chicken (unless you like chicken that tastes like donuts... Yes... Donuts). Overall it wasn't great but I don't think we'll get food poisoning. One big positive - the staff is lovely. They don't really know the dishes but they do their best.

Food was fantastic. Just love this place. It's small, intimate and the staff are lovely too. Well worth a visit

Both takeaway and eat-in are superb. Highly recommended.

Had our second takeaway absolutely amazing again this is now our go to takeaway definitely a touch above your usual chinese..staff so courtious..can't wait to go back ..

Excellent food and service from all the staff! Busy even at lunchtime, which is a good indicator of this restaurants reputation.

Easily the best Chinese in town. Always great food, friendly service and good value!

I'm sorry to say the food was mediocre. The sweet and sour pork was bland. The egg fried rice was lacking in egg. The shredded off the bone duck had a huge wing bone in it. It was all a bit of a let down :( Nothing terrible, but not as good as we've got from other Chinese restaurants.

This restaurant is amazing, what fantastic food and great service. We had a Valentine’s meal here and boy, was the food very delicious. Very reasonably priced as well, you definitely won’t regret coming here.

Went there with a friend, food and service first class. Very cosy and always busy.

A lovely menu with a fantastic selection. All well presented and tastes great 👍.

Love this place, food is top notch absolutely delicious. Staff are great, very friendly and welcoming and speaking to a few regulars they all say the same thing that they love the food and the atmosphere.

Dreadful in every sense of the word. Had a table booked for 7pm, not offered drinks for at least half an hour. A further hour for starters to come out, and 9.30pm for mains to come out. Most of the food was cold, incorrect or just tasted disgusting. £26/27 per person is extremely expensive for what you get. The plates are quite literally tiny (like tea cup saucers), we had 3 of those each (adults), which would have barely been a normal full size plate of food. Service was slow and we spent long periods waiting for either drinks or food.

We order here often and never have any issues. The food tastes good and is always ready for collection, everyone is really friendly.

Great service! Really enjoyed our time here. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Food was fantastic! Not a single waste. What a pleasant evening. Staff were delightful.

This chinese is absolutely diabolical Starters all over cooked The meat was rock hard ,like when did you cook these ? Meat was swimming in grease ....and all tasted like old grease absolutely disgusting. All you can eat £26 summit per person You could never eat £26 worth of food for one single person in this restaurant The plates are tiny and the portions are a quarter ....if you order a chinese for two people for £26 you would both be full up . Felt like I got robbed...as the food was awful and tasteless rubbish . I should never have payed for my meals Shambolic!

Ordered a takeaway this evening We've just received our food, it was nice and hot, but the quality and flavour was very poor. We ordered kung pao chilli chicken, chicken in black bean sauce , chips, roast pork fried rice, capital spare ribs and spring rolls. The roast pork was like rubber and was inedible, the chicken was tasteless the ribs had been reheated from last night's service as were the chips. We've eaten at the Tycoon many times over the years and have had the accasional takeaway but never again. Most of the takeaway is now in the bin. Very disappointed and a total waste of money.

A delivered takeaway that was exceptional. Nothing about our meal was less than superb. I even called to thank them and their chef. Tycoon is currently producing the very best in Andover. Thanks Jeff

5 adults all with a broad view of good quality food so this is praise in itself to this small but very friendly efficient run place, all dishes ordered from the A La carte menue 5 very different starters and mains every one top notch in flavour presentation and portion size. Do not hesitate to book if you know your cuisines you will love it if you dont you ll be one of the disatisfied who have left questionable reviews not experienced by our visit.

It's a great place to do takeaway or eat in, they are friendly and serve decent food. Ordered 30 mins prior pickup and all was done by the time arrives to pickup. Even got free prawn crackers. Ignore yhe bad reqievs and give it a go, everyone restaurant have ups and downs and bad days.

Lovely little Chinese restaurant and takeaway. Food very nice, staff very friendly.

My first time at Tycoon and I was very impressed, the staff where friendly and very pleasant, the food was amazing we had a sharing starter which was so so good , then after that came the pancakes the shredded lamb and duck was amazing, after that it was main course time after looking through the menu and what a choice wow , the main was so good as well , the service was outstanding and couldn’t fault it , the price for all we had plus drinks was great value, I will be back in the near future ,simply a lovely place to go and great value for money

Have been using the Tycoon for 20 years and has mostly been great but last meal has been very poor. Starters very greasy, sauce on the ribs so sweet it made my teeth hurt. Mains were substandard. Pork in black bean sauce which i always order as a takeaway was awful. Never been served it like this...pork was so hard and chewy i couldn't eat it. Veggie option of spicy bean curd was good as were the black pepper mushrooms. Such a shame though Table of 4 ladies sitting next to us was very loud and not sure my 15 year old autistic son appreciated them talking about their sex lives very loudly!

It’s just not worth the hassle of booking, waiting for a table and it’s so small that you feel like you’re having dinner with the people crammed in there like sardines.

We pop in to Tycoon a couple of times a year and it’s always great. Really good value menu if you are hungry and good quality beer on draught. Friendly, attentive service. Very much recommend over the many other average Chinese restaurants in the area.

Takeaway, I thought I would give this place a try, although service & prices were reasonable the food was awful & resembled, well I leave that for you to decide.

Over charged on 2 occasions. Takeaway delivery late and wrong when it came. Phone was disconnected while talking to them. Won't be using them again.

Very tasty food, great friendly service.

Fantastic food, good choices, and good value. Friendly, helpful staff

We have been here a few times in the past but not in the last year or so. Unfortunately, it felt that the quality of the food had gone downhill, yet the price had gone up. I say that, the food was not bad, justaverage. Whereas before they had really good food. Servicwas great and they were so friendly.

Thought I would try this take away as was told it was good. I was very disappointed, I certainly won’t be a returning customer. Food was not the best

Lovely food,very fair prices and reasonable delivery times.

Deliciously good value for money! The restaurant was super clean, beautifully decorated and had some very friendly attentive staff

I've had dinner yesterday at this restaurant, the portions are small, the chicken was stale or undercooked.they forgot to bring us everything we asked for.Things have changed for the worse since last time we ate there. TOO EXPENSIVE! DON'T GO! WORST RESTAURANT I'VE SEEN LATELY!

Minimalist portions of any food you order...also you order something and get totally something else when ready. PLEASE AVOID ! Expensive too and not so tasty comparing with other Chinese Restaurants 👏👌

Tried the Tycoon for the first time Yesterday evening, Firstly the Delivery time was stated to be around 1/1.5hrs but unfortunately it took around 2hrs, so at this point I was hoping the food would be worth the wait. Where do I start, the Shredded Duck was cold and flavourless with lots of fat, I don't mind fat on my Duck but even for me it was too much, I only received 5 pancakes with my Duck, it was a 1/4 ( other Chinese Restaurants offer 10). My Ribs were so fatty, I expected a bit of meat on the bone but had hardly any. The chip's were cold and overcooked, Egg foo young was cold and flavourless. Noodles were okay but hardly any flavour. Such a shame as I've seen lots of good reviews so I thought I'd try The Tycoon but unfortunately won't be trying it again..

Very poor food. Lemon chicken was so dry it was uneatable, ordered egg fried rice and delivered boiled rice. Crispy seaweed was not to usual standard! Very disappointing!

Most importantly the food was delicious and highly recommend! A few negatives, first we were overlooked for ordering by a table that came in after us. We were not explained how the menu works. The plates for main service came out hot 20 minutes before food received so pointless having hot plates. We were not asked if we wanted further drinks. So from our experience the service staff were not as good as they should have been, but as I said, the food was delicious!

A lovely warm restaurant with very attentive service. So busy that we had to eat upstairs, which is a little quieter and lacks a bit of atmosphere. But generally lovely, and the food is great 👍🏻

Lovely staff and owners and very good food!

Stopped here for an evening meal and so glad I did. The place was almost full which is always a good sign. The set meun is a very good idea and there's so much food on the menu. I had a pre starter, soup,duck wrap and then a very nice main course which was tea smoked chicken also have a very spicy vegetable dish . The staff are very friendly and helpful

We have not ordered from Tycoon for a while so tonight was a return. We had a telephone order for delivery and we are so please we did. Order taken with a smile and small changes accommodated with no problems. The thin noodle king prawn chow mein was spot on. Very happy and please pleased to recommend to others. Jeff

After a dire experience at my Inn I wandered the town and was going to return next door after my last trip - they were full and what a piece of fortune! Recommend the set menu - bottomless effectively and very good 5*

Had a great night out with friends at the Tycoon, excellent all you can eat menu with lovely food at a reasonable price, very friendly staff and service, definitely will be back as it is so nice, thanks for a great evening guys

Very possibly the best Chinese I've ever been to/enjoyed

Really nice food and nice staff, was first meal out I had had for years with great company and was glad I picked here.

Best Chinese food I have ever had. Sensible portions. Delicious starters and pancakes. Friendly service and a lovely atmosphere.

Good food and friendly staff, service was slow at times but was very buay

Best Chinese in town by far. Great food, service and atmosphere

Best chinese food I have had in a long time.....we have tried a few in the area and tycoon is by far the best. Keep up the good work 👍

Lovely place and people but we didn't see and were not offered the a la carte. We really should have asked or been offered it as there was far too much food on the set menu we were given. It was all very good but we felt we had been "stung" into paying too much for a meal we really couldn't eat.

We were visiting the Andover for a night away and went for evening meal, it’s a fixed priced menu, £21.95 per person and you can eat as much as you can fit in! Crobra was £5.80 a pint. The restaurant itself is very dark, buts it’s an old building. The do have air con so it was a nice temperature The appetisers and duck was fantastic, the main courses were a bit of a let down. Staff were friendly, service was quick. We would return if in the area but would have seconds on the appetisers and duck.

Always lovely food best in andover

Very good, as always. Friendly staff.

This is our favourite Chinese restaurant in Andover. Tycoon offers a great range of dishes, including plenty of vegetarian options, and the staff are always helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Very good take away. Tasted fresh and not full of msg

Delicious Chinese food served in this little restaurant with soft Chinese traditional music. I have dined here with friend and we have shared several plates from starters to the mains with duck, chicken, veggies, rice, peppers, noodles, etc. Drank beers and I have appreciated the atmosphere around us. Reccomended in town.

Food: Normally Chinese food is great when in a restaurant, way better than a take-away, but this was just plain bad. Sorry to say but i'll say it again - just plain bad. Service: Sunday night, lots of things going on, end of the week maybe? But come on...please just be there now & again to get the next course....or a drink.... Overall summary: 4 adults, £113, bad grub & service, never again.

I love this food!! Best Chinese in Andover for sure

Traditional Chinese restaurant with fixed price menu. Great flavours and not the overcooked dishes you sometimes find. Good wines too a bit light on European wines, but there is a really well chosen Chablis.

It was packed, service good "Mix & Match" menu £20, starter did not arrive, eventually got it Chicken Satay, chicken was vastly over cooked, sauce was nondescript, Peking shedded duck dry, small pieces, no taste, pancakes, dry, shredded Lamb, dry and again very small pieces, not sure if it was lamb, prawn Scehaun good!!, Chicken in lemon sauce, good, veg dish good. I just hope that all the other guests had a better meal. Total cost £43 nearly a total waste.

Lovely place, always got takeaway but looks a great dine in atmosphere. Takeaway food is delightful and staff are always friendly and quick to serve.

Amazing! Can't wait to go back and take the family.

Been ordering from them for over 2 years, food and service is amazing every time.

Delicious food, great service, lovely owners, what more do you want. Very cosy restaurant but they also do take-away.

Normally have takeaways from here. Was lovely to eat in. Food was very nice. Good service and a good selection. Highly recommended.

Fabulous evening and superb food 👌

Shocking value for money, don't go here

Lovely people running a great little restaurant with oodles of charm. The building is very olde worlde English but the food is very good modern Chinese. Peking Duck (called 'Crispy Duck on the menu) is available without pre-booking and the pancakes and cucumber and spring onions are replenished as many times as needed. Lots of choice to suit everyone.

Brilliant night at The Tycoon. Always good food, lovely friendly staff. Our favourite ❤

Really enjoyed a lunch here. Generous portions. Friendly staff we will return next time in Andover

Excellent ambience, superb food,excellent service.

Delicious, not expensive, kind staff, a perfect restaurant for a relax moment in family or couple

Lovely building good atmosphere amazing food friendly staff and all for one price that won't break the bank. Really good food

Cant tell you how good this place is for takeaway. Won't use any other Chinese now but this one. Ten out of ten.

Beautiful Food and a great deal! Very impressive and highly recommended!!! Didn’t manage to make the main course as starters filled us up! Wonderful! X

Superb! Mix and match menu is excellent value for money. Great choice of dishes. Great service. Highly recommend!

Good authentic food, good service

Looking forward to revisiting with a group to sample more of the ‘eat all you can’ menu. What I have tasted so far was very nice, the staff were very friendly. Cobra on tap which was good to see but it could have been a bit colder and a little more lively. Very busy with take away so seems very popular. Will definitely visit again

Great food (Best Chinese/Cantonese in the town imo). Fabulous staff, lovely atmosphere 👍

Brilliant food excellent service. Would highly recommend. We had the eat as much as you want and couldn't manage a main course

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Very friendly and helpful staff too. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Best Chinese food in the South of England, great family run business, decent size menu awesome prices

Just ordered from here and honestly it was amazing! The food was amazing quality, hot on arrival and came so quickly!! It’s amazing!

Always a very pleasurable dinning experience. My takeaway today was first class as always.👍 Many thanks Andy

Waiting area is quite small. Great food though

Always a great meal and friendly staff.

My husband booked a table for our anniversary as we wanted to eat somewhere locally, and we weren’t disappointed. The food was absolutely amazing! Everything was cooked to perfection. It all came out really hot, and tasted so fresh and lovely. The customer service was...

Amazing staff, great great food. Social distancing was in place and all staff wearing face coverings, felt very safe.

Did they make this food at an oil rig? There was more oil in the food than actual flavour, after eating it, I felt SICK. my stomach was not prepared to swallow that much diesel. The prawn curry was pretty much ready to fill up...

Friendly staff and amazing food.

First time going out for Chinese in such a long time. I was surprised by how busy it was, which of course had an effect on the service, so slow at times and even forgot a dish. First time we've been here, I must admit...

My wife and I ordered a takeaway from the restaurant and it was fantastic. Really good quality and fresh ingredients. We really enjoyed the meal. It's been a few years since we had a meal from this restaurant and we had forgotten just how good...

Restaurant quality food as a takeaway. Honestly, the best freshest chinese food I have tasted as a delivered takeaway. Thank you. We will order from you again.

First time we ever had a takeaway it was lovely! Problem is we ordered again and the food was well over an hour late and then when it did arrive it was stone cold. If the food was hot and on time then it would...

Ordering was easy. The food arrived piping hot and tasted fantastic and was not greasy. By far the best chinese takeaway we've had in Andover.

First time we have ordered a takeaway from here. Really good food, arrived nice and hot and delivery was totally on the button with social distancing. Will definitely use again.
