Nice Spice 百味小廚

Nice Spice is a great Chinese takeaway/restaurant that serves up some of the best roast duck and crispy pork in town. The duck is always perfectly cooked and juicy, and the pork is crispy and flavourful.

I wanted to order the crispy pork dish but the waitress replied there is no left, so I finally ordered beef brisket. Unfortunately, the meat was so chewy that I couldn’t finish it. I asked the waitress for having a knife to make my life a tad easier but they don’t have. The rice was served barely warmish and got cold after 5 minutes. The worst thing in my bad experience with this restaurant is that a (Asian) lady beside me managed to be served with crispy pork although she ordered after me. I asked the waitress how come another client managed to have crispy pork after I ordered, she mumbled something about the cook told her that at this time... True or false, just try another Asian restaurant where the quality will be probably much better.

There is always a queue craving for the nicely roasted meat. A near perfect cure for homesickness. Lovely and helpful staff.

The taste of the food is not that good! Compared to some other Chinese restaurants in Bristol. I recommend you to take away the food. So that you don’t have to wait in the queue !

My mum and I visited on Sat night, arrived around 7.30pm and waited in the queue for half an hour before seated. As all the roast meat were already cooked, they were just sliced into portions so food arrived very quickly. Strangely the duck and preserved vegetable noodle isn’t on the menu but is on the board. I only paid attention to the board because I saw others eating the noodle and I wondered why I couldn’t find it on the menu. We ordered roast duck, roast Chao Sui and duck soup noodle. They are all very oily and salty. We didn’t have plain rice so it made it even harder to finish the salty meat. The cafe is vey small and cramped for maximum seating capacity. You sit very close to the next table so there is no privacy. There is also no toilet. Unexpectedly later that evening, both my mum and I got diarrhoea. I have very robust guts and I can’t even remember when I had upset tummy last time in my adulthood. So I’m very surprised I got diarrhoea. We didn’t eat anything else out of ordinary that day so it’s definitely linked to this restaurant. This is very disappointing. Food hygiene should be the top priority. I wonder if it’s because these roast meat are cooked well beforehand but left in room temperature for long time waiting to be carved and served and perhaps not covered from insects? Health is the most important thing and I don’t want to risk another episode of diarrhoea so definitely won’t visit again. This is a cash only business to avoid paying tax which is annoying and unfair especially in the current economic climate. The government should really crack down on this type of dodgy business.

Great portions and delicious food.Would recommend the roast meats (especially the crispy pork & roast pork) and the iced lemon tea.Was told they no longer do the Beijing Roast duck with pancakes (although still on the menu).CASH ONLY

The Char Siu was disappointing, it had too much fat on it. However, the crispy pork was good. Also they don’t take cash which was inconvenient.

Small Cantonese restaurant serving comfort foods. Food came quick. Servers were friendly. Only downside is they only take cash.

What an amazing place!!! Quite busy and popular. I have tried it a few times and each time the food is so good and tasty, big portions and the staff always so friendly.I don't think is suitable for big groups as the place is very small with few big tables.Only thing is not perfect to me is that they are cash only but they tell you as soon as you arrive and there is an ATM machine close by.I can't recommend this place enough.

Lovely food like the best roasted duck and crispy pork belly ever! The price is great, big portions. I go back many times and will keep going back again. However, the restaurant can get busy and the seats are quite limited.
