Lots Of Rice

Bournemouth locals in the know head to Lots Of Rice when that proper Chinese takeaway craving strikes. This no-frills spot holds a steady 3.6/5 on Google from 119 reviews, and its Food Hygiene Rating is a solid 5 — clean, reliable, and focused on what matters: big flavours. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t fuss over presentation, just packs punchy, satisfying dishes that hit the spot after a long day.

The menu leans into classic Cantonese comfort — think aromatic crispy duck with pancakes, sweet and sour chicken with that perfect tang, and steaming bowls of fried rice loaded with char siu and prawns. Everything comes wok-fried with proper heat, not that soggy stuff. Portions are generous, making it ideal for a proper feast without the restaurant prices. Order through Just-Eat and they’ll have it ready sharpish — perfect for a night in when you want proper Chinese, not a compromise.
