Confucius Chinese started as Chichester's most famous Chinese, renowned for its local touch and personal service. Since then, nothing much has changed, the same people still work here and we still use our secret recipes to create classic dishes.Gordon and Yvonne Lee are the owners and you'll probably get to meet them at the restaurant. We're a family run restaurant with a twist in modern British Chinese cuisine. We live in Chichester and know the area very well.

After discovering water pouring from an old radiator on arriving home I needed cheering up and Confucius did the trick as always! Wonderful food, friendly and efficient service, I was just surprised that no one had even heard of Lapsang Souchong tea! I am so lucky to have Confucius less than 2 minutes from home.

Have been here a few times however this time and it has always been really good but this time was not as good as we ordered chicken in black bean sauce but the sauce was more like a gravy including the colour and taste with a few black beans not good, our other dishes were very nice .the restaurant only had a couple of tables in that night but as soon as we had finished a dish the plates one by one were rushed away which maded the whole meal feeling like you are being rushed out the door not relaxing

A small restaurant but with a big personality......fantastic food and service. Never been before but will definitely be going back with family. We went with some friends and they to were impressed. One of them was vegan and had the mock duck, we all tried and was amazed with it. Thank you for the lovely evening.!

I have lived about 3 minutes away from Confucius for 14 years and yet had never been there! The food was delicious, the entire staff were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. All the other diners seemed very happy from what I could see! I will certainly come back soon, and can only regret all the wasted years I have lived in Chichester with Confucius on my doorstep.

The food was generally ok. The drinks options were poor. The restaurant itself is very dated and at least needs some fresh paint. Half a duck for the pancakes was expensive (£25) and then didn’t come with enough cucumber etc., and when we asked for more, we were charged more. We were also charged for plastic containers to take food away with us. We won’t be going back.
