4.0. "Chinese please!" by RDGENG::SIM () Fri Jul 29 1988 15:05

    I want to book a meal out tomorrow night, and I'm trying to remember
    the name of the Chinese in Odiham.  Can anyone help, or suggest
    another good Chinese in the Basingstoke-ish area?
    
    It has to be respectable because I'm taking Mum and Dad there...
    
    thanks

    From the Yellow Pages:
    
    King's Chinese Restaurant - Odiham (025671) 2559
    
    I don't suppose that a place the size of Odiham runs to more than
    one Chinese so I guess that this is it.
    
    I've never been there but have heard good reports of
    
    Hee's - B/stoke 460297 23 Westminster Ho. Town Centre B/stoke
    
    Anyone care to give a review on the above restaurants ?

    Re. King's
    
    Took a mob on a S&SC trip and it was excellent especially
    considering the numbers (40+).
    
    We opted for a set menu at $12.50 ph which was an excellent
    choice - I actually have a copy of their menu - if anyone
    wants a copy give me a shout!
    
    As for Hee's that too is very good - but more expensive than
    King's.
    
    One warning - the bar drinks at King's are horrendously
    expensive $1.20 for a coke etc.

    Hee's is definitely a place to take some-one you want to impress
    - as long as you have AMEX/Diners with you!!  Worth every penny
    - very classy.  Only the English musak spoils it.

    I can certanly recomend HEEs - it is really good, if a little pricey.
    
    There is a similar place in Winchester (not too far down the A34),
    but its name escapes me right now.

4.10Chinese in Tadley.GROYNE::HAYESIan Hayes, DTN 781 ext 4327Wed Aug 17 1988 22:077
    I can recommend the Chinese take-away in Tadley on Franklin Avenue,
    just down the road a way from the Holmwood Health Centre.
    
    The food is excellent and the menu has a separate section for veggies
    with a choice of 6 or 7 meals.

4.11Chinese eat-inRDGE28::OTTENThu Oct 06 1988 19:2512
    There's a very nice Chinky in Farnham (That's SURREY), for those
    clever navigators ! I think it's on "Dogflud Way" (sic) in farnham,
    and caters for groups of up to 50

    P.S.
    I've just moved from Staines to Basingstoke, and I can't find anything
    to do in the evenings, either!!!
    
    HELP - The walls of my flat are closing in on me
    
4.12HEE HEE HEESUBOHUB::ROCK_CFraggleFri Feb 24 1989 16:597
    I definately give my vote to HEES.  As it is a little pricey, hubby
    and I tend to go there for Birthdays etc.  The staff are wonderful
    and the food is out of this world.  (It is not Chinese food though,
    it's Cantonese).

    re. 12 Its not Cantonese Claire, its Szechuan.
           Ya actual Cantonese is your bog standard chinky
           available all over the town.

    Re. 4.7 the place in Winchester may be called "Mr. So".  I have
    eaten there a couple of times.  Quite expensive, takes AMEX and
    the food is wonderful.  Always full, so book before you go.
