Reviews in Portsmouth

First time at Spoons, family of 4. Fantastic variety of options. Staff were pleasant and great value for money! All of us had a wonderful time at Portsmouth Spoons.

Lovely setting will defo be back again soon

Great lovely fresh food family friendly

Not impressed at all. Pizza station was one dry cheese pizza. Roast pork was salty and dry. Chinese beef dish was inedible. After visiting cosmos, I was very disappointed. Will not visit again.

We had a lovely meal. Lots of choice and very fresh.

Excellent food with something to suit everyone. Allergens clearly marked. Plates taken away quickly and staff were lovely and helpful.

Enjoyed the wide variety of food but disappointed that there was no lobster and the only other fish was a rather bland salmon dish. Some background music may enhance the atmosphere

First time visiting this place. We have tried many buffets around ie Cosmos, JRC, DAYS etc. We arrived at 17:00 there was a big queue mainly be because payment is collected before you enter. This was the most expensive plays among the other places we have been as children greater than 3 pay half price. I think it should be less. There is no refillable place for water so you need to keep going back to the bar for a small cup of water each time which is annoying. They should have jugs for a table. There is a lot of food variety and the meals are tasty so that’s a big plus. Dessert doesn’t have many options which was disappointing. Overall for my ratings over 10 Food 8/10 Dessert 5/10 Drinks 6/10 cheap version of coke Cost - a bit too expensive Overall 6.5 Need to address the water situation

Greeted by a smiley man on reception and another upon entering the restaurant. Atmosphere was like a hotel restaurant in an all inclusive hotel in Turkey or so. Large selection of foods to suit everyone, chicken I felt was overcooked and vegetables were very soggy. The sushi was perfect and the dim sum. Cheap brand coke, lemonade etc but was fine. Staff cleaned away any plates and mess very quickly. We will go back again sometime but will perhaps try a different Chinese buffet first.

Fantastic service, come here very often with family, friends, etc. So many varieties of choices family friendly and all age appropriate perfect for picky eaters as there will definitely be things you enjoy. Very cultural food choices and the staff are polite, well mannered and welcoming and overall the experience is brilliant will be coming again and again. Really recommend.

Great selection of food at a very reasonable price. Got our weekend off to a fabulous start!

Went for Birthday meal with family of 8 food was lovely and plenty of it As was not busy we stayed longer than 1.5 hour which was nice . Waiters a bit too quick to take plates as twice they took my husbands plate without him finishing when only went to bar !! Downside a glass of small wine £5 and other drinks expensive but will come again and avoid bar

Visited yesterday Saturday. 8 of us for my grandsons birthday. My son had money already saved for us but when we arrived it had gone up by £2 each. 2 of my grandaons are tall so usually have to pay all adult prices except for 1 but child prices had gone up as well. Drink are now £3.50 each for refills so it really worked out a expensive meal. Food is always nice and lots of choice as grand kids are fussy but at £22 per head it is being overpriced . Cost for 8 people £189.50 Including soft drinks. Don't think we can afford to eat here again for a long while. Its a nice treat but an expensive one.

Second time visiting spoon Portsmouth (Friday evening around 5:30) and we can’t fault it, we’re already planning our next visit. •The staff are absolutely wonderful. Very welcoming and friendly. •Very large selection of different foods- from kids nuggets, chips and cocktail sausages, to Indian curries, Italian pastas and pizza, noodles, veggies, potatoes and meats, plus a sushi bar and fresh fry grill. So much choice, and I’m a vegetarian! •Food doesn’t stop there! Leave room for the desert corner- cakes, ice creams, profiteroles, Eton mess, banana and custard, choc fountain, fresh fruit, and more! •food has always been a good temperature when we’ve came and cooked well. The refilling of dishes is quick. • Unlimited fizzy drinks available for extra charge but still great value. • Toilets big and kept clean •overall the place is kept clean and tidy, and the staff are quick to clear empty plates for you. •Considering the price of a normal takeaway, Spoon is brilliant value and we will definitely be returning again.

It was our first time at the restaurant. I will start with the good points. There was a great selection of food . The quality was ok. My 13 year old son was charged as an adult. When we went in we were not told drinks were extra. I think it should all be included in the price, when you arrive. It seemed very noisy, like the air conditioning was on but not working. It’s was very hot also. The side doors were propped open. because of the noise it was hard to have a proper conversation. To finish the whole experience off, a member of the waiter team had terrible b o . The smell drifted around the restaurant which was very off putting. Because of this we left and will not be returning.

Lovely staff everywhere was clean and kept clean the only downside is some food was cold my partner was sick and I had a bad belly good for the price and kids enjoyed it

Place was very clean, staff were attentive. Price was high for a lunchtime and drinks were also expensive. Food quality was ok and there are a lot of options.

First time here and was impressed, great food, lots to choose from most staff friendly and polite, Cleared our table of dirty plates quickly. Only negative was guy serving the lobster needs to learn to crack a smile a bit more.
