About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
Riverside location on the River Hamble with Beer Garden, under new management, famous for our Cheesy Disco on the weekends, now offering Pool, Sky Sports, Regular Live Music and daily Happy Hour including Cocktails.

Our Chef Nico is famous for his Set menus and we also have a Gluten Free Menu.

Originally known as Riverside Chinese Restaurant, the restaurant has been open since 1993. With the help of many within the local community we have managed to gather a fond following from the residents of Bursledon and the surrounding areas of Locks Heath, Warsash, Whitely, Hedge End and Hamble.

Whether they are in the mood for restaurant quality food on a quiet night at home, a nice quiet meal out with friends and family in comfortable surroundings, or a place to let loose, party and dance the night away after a long week, we have always been there ready to serve.

    As my booking was done through your service and our arrival was also confirmed on this app. To arrive and find the restaurant closed without any notification of this we were understandably very upset and angry. The booking was with good friends for our 10th wedding anniversary. Which Little Canton managed to upset. We will never use this service again. If I could have put negative stars I would have

    Unfortunately the restaurant was closed when we arrived for our son’s 11th birthday and said they didn’t have the staff to open. Was very disappointing.

    The website stated the restaurant was open from 12 on a Sunday, we were able to book a table online and received confirmation. We booked for 13.30 but when we turned up the door was locked and we travelled from Winchester for nothing! Absolutely disgraceful and very disappointing! You need to update your website!!!!!

    We went for dinner with our 8 year old daughter. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we arrived which was fine as only 5.30pm. We ordered quickly and had our starters quite fast but we didn’t get our mains until around 7pm. We had to wait for the take out to go first. It was unclear who was in charge so we didn’t bother complaining. The food was fine but not what you’d expect when eating out. They didn’t have a number of items in the drinks list and seemed unfazed when passing that information on to us. We had a nice time as we like each other but we didn’t enjoy the restaurant- was much better 7 years ago when we last went.

    We booked this night out because we were looking forward to a nice meal followed by dancing to disco music. However there were very few people in the restaurant which was not great for creating an atmosphere. The food was ok not great but eatable. We were expecting a set menu priced at £20 per person and a complimentary drink on arrival, however the menu was £26 per person, we raised this with the waitress who new nothing about this price. She did give us a complimentary drink after we showed her the online advert for that evening. Not sure if I would return as it was a bit pricey for a Chinese meal , with no entertainment, which is what we went for . Overall we were pretty disappointed with the experience/ evening. The evening was advertised online as cheesy disco with set menu priced£20 and complimentary drinks on arrival. If you advertise this , surely you should stick to this price plan.

    As a coeliac it is fantastic to have a restaurant with such a wide variety of gluten free dishes. We had starters, duck as a second course and 3 mains with fried and boiled rice and everything was perfectly cooked, although a couple of the dishes good have done with being a little hotter, but taste wise fantastic.

    Really good night out. We booked on the OpenTable app and I don' t think they knew we were coming but managed to squeeze us in. We had a great table and it was a very busy night with a 30, 50, 60 and 70 birthday party in full swing. The music was low level and just about right until about 10pm and the DJ announced that it was time to party and the classic tunes went on and the dancing started. All in all a great night with reasonably decent food, especially with it being so busy. Good service and again it was very busy so good to have service even at this busy level.
