• Chinese • Fareham
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. In 2017 we went through a large scale refurbishment and rebranded ourselves as Little Canton. As a restaurant and takeaway with a delivery service and, uniquely, a dance floor and disco on weekends, we have always been perfectly placed to reach our customers at various junctures of their daily lives. 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.

Shanghai 1814 is a fun and exciting restaurant due to its unique blend of traditional European architecture with exuberant Chinese interior design. It's a destination restaurant with a rich history, as the owner's ancestors opened their first restaurant in Shanghai in 1814. The food is fresh, flavoursome, and authentic, with a menu crafted by a Michelin-starred chef. The reviews praise the restaurant's ambiance, service, and of course, the food, with one customer saying 'The food was incredible & very well presented.' Another said 'The decor is fantastic and the lighting gives a great ambiance.' So, it's not just the food that's amazing, but the overall experience as well!

    First time of going to Shanghai 1814 and I highly recommend it .. beautiful decor, immaculately clean, wonderful ambience, very pleasant, professional, friendly staff, and the food (we had the lunch menu) was the best I’ve tasted. Fantastic cocktails too. I feel you can tell the cleanliness of a restaurant by the toilets and I have to say they were also immaculate, & so pretty, as good as any 5* hotel. All in all, I would say go and see for yourselves, you won’t be disappointed.

    The best experience ever. We went for an anniversary. We were welcomed by the outstanding manager, who was so kind. We had complimentary drinks on our arrival for our anniversary. The food was AMAZING. It was our first time there, and definitely will go back. Absolutely lovely place, a must try!

    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.
