Reviews in Portsmouth

Disappointed, First time vising, got there at 7.30pm was seated quickly, minimal variety of food left mainly Chinese, Indian and fish sushi. No carvery, only sushi available seemed everything was being cleaned down. Went for sweet section to find that there was only ice cream as again it was being cleaned and closed. Was very disappointing as many people had said it was fantastic. Would not go again

Been to Spoon Portsmouth on a number of occasions and never disappointed. Lots to choose from and different dishes to try something new. The staff are fantastic and always a pleasure atmosphere.

Lunch on Sunday with friends all enjoyed the selection and quality of the food. The restaurant was very clean and well laid out. The Staff were very friendly and efficient. No problems on this visit will definitaly be going back

I wouldn’t recommend. I went there on a Thursday evening. Many trays were empty. No meat at the carvery. The soups area was completely closed. There was no meat at the grill counter, they were only grilling seafood. I had the crab and the squid, but the crab had a very bad rotten smell, so I didn’t touch anything. The sauces were either too salted or too sweet or both at the same time. The meat was dry and seemed to have stayed there for a very long time. Very very average (or rather on the lower side) taste. The only think that I enjoyed was the raw melon and the pancake. Happy that we didn’t get salmonella though.

As always a fantastic meal and Cirilo is a wonderful host.

A lovely restaurant to enjoy fab dining with all the family. Plenty to choose from and the money is worth it. The staff are very good too.

Place its nice and have lots of space.food looks good and was hot enough.i have tried quite a lot of stuff and some things were good some worste some better as anyone would expect.downside was no juice availeble for bottomless glass(only fizzy drinks that my son doesnt drink for some reason)

This is our 3rd time of coming and if it was the first I wouldn’t return unfortunately. It was a special occasion 18th birthday meal when we arrived we were greeted and told to look at the food before we decided to stay and eat or we could leave it was 7.30pm so couldn’t really book anything else, there was no discount given and the Chinese buffet area was very much lacking in the food we wanted. The Indian side was much better. The staff were very nice but wasn’t the experience that we all wanted it to be some of the guests we had had never been before and I told them it was a great place to eat so no one will be returning unfortunately. The fact the price was not changed due to there being a lot less was pretty bad to spent over £200 and was not worth that money.

Lovely food ,nice and clean restaurant. I recommend it, especially to those who like to eat a lot.

Food tasted fine, though only just warm, and we also didn’t receive the side dish we’d ordered. Main issue was lack of staff, though the guy who was working tried his best to keep all the plates spinning and was cheerful and helpful throughout. However, there was still a long wait to take the order.

came here for my birthday with a few of my mates and the food was a bit hit and miss really some off it was lovely absolutely brilliant but some of the dishes was quite cold but apart from that service was great

Really great food and environment. Good waiting staff and cocktails.

First visit, Staff worked above a beyond, pleasingly motivated to provide a great service. The food choices were exceptional but the quality of a few weren’t very good, due to the lower quality produce used (cuts of meat) on some dishes and the huge variety being offered. It is extremely difficult to keep on top of every single item. I am myself a very picky eater and worked in the cater industry for over 30years as a chef and manager so possibly over critical…. Overall we enjoyed our evening and will definitely return at some point…

A very pleasant lunch with our friends. A fantastic variety and selection of Food from around the World. The Staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definately continue to visit SPOONS PORTSMOUTH

Came in for my grandsons birthday, my first time and found it a bit hit and miss! Quite a few dishes were cold, most of the pork was hard and dry but there were some really nice dishes too.

Food is usually pretty good and topped up, thus time however some of the chicken satay was a little undercook. Pineapple rice was not great, really undercooked and not nice. As usual only one soft drink machine working (been like that for about a year!!!!). The toilets are disgusting. One broken, one blocked, one with no lock. Really not good and has been like this for a very long time. About time they invested some money in smartening the whole place considering how popular it is. That said, staff are always friendly and welcoming. Just needs some money spending on the place

Some food was nice, some not but luckily there's a lot to choose from if you are a meat eater. I found the options for vegetarians a bit boring and not very nice. Kids loved it but as our 11yr old is over 150cm, she was full price and no way she ate £21 worth of food. Maybe there should be a price in the middle for older children. The people cleaning up were brilliant, our dirty plates were cleared almost instantly every time and any mess anyone had made seemed to be dealt with very quick too. I wont return but give it a go and see what you think. Im not a great fan of buffets so prob didnt help!

Really really enjoyed our dinner out here for my boyfriend’s birthday. Lovely food, lovely restaurant and lovely people serving. Huge shout out to the gentleman who served us! Thank you so much for a great dinner out! We will be back
