   I recently had dinner at The Welcome - Hong Kong Cuisine to celebrate my Mother's birthday, and I honestly felt very happy very that evening! The service, the food, and the surprise birthday treat that the restaurant prepared was incredible! Unfortunately, I didn't capture the names of the staff. But rest assured that this establishment is fantastic for a wonderful experience and meal. I will certainly be returning soon!

   I was so excited to eat here, we haven't been in many years since moving overseas. Had a great dinner with staff very helpful to us. We ordered their Salted Chili Shrimp, Chili Chicken, Prawn Toast and Duck Pancakes. Everything was delicious

   My wife and I dined here the other night. We were pleasantly surprised how good this place was because we know that good Chinese restaurants are hard to come by. We called to book a reservation with no problem. It’s street parking which, we have learned whilst in Belfast, isn’t the best. Thankfully we found a space not too far away. The restaurant itself is quite fancy looking. They have a cool ceiling. The place is of reasonable size with plenty of tables which are adequately spread apart so you don’t feel that you are too close to any neighbouring diners. The service was excellent. The two ladies that served us were on the ball. They were always busy but seemed to have everything under control. They were also very pleasant. Normally Chinese menus are exhausting to read through and it’s nearly impossible to decide. However this menu is a great size. It provides variety but it isn’t overwhelming. I was naughty and got 2 starters. I got the duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce and also the pork ribs with pecking sauce. Both of these were delicious. The duck came on the bone and the waitress shredded it upon serving. The duck came with 6 thin pancakes and the hoisin sauce was lovely. The pork ribs were indulgent. They came right off the bone and tasted amazing. This alone was probably enough for me but mains to come. My wife got vegetable spring rolls for starters which she enjoyed. The pastry was very sick and crispy. For mains my wife got chicken fried rice and curry sauce which is her go to Chinese dish. She thought it was tasty and a generous portion. I got Szechuan chicken which was nice along with chow mein. The chow mein was an enormous potion compared to the chicken which was quite small. For the table we had prawn crackers which were…well prawn crackers. I squeezed in some dessert. We shared deep fried ice cream which I’ve never had before. It was surprisingly good. The only 2 negatives was that the taps in the bathroom were only trickling out and the meal was expensive. It came to just under £80. Which for Chinese food standards is a lot. We did order a lot of food and it was all very tasty so can’t really complain.

   Welcome Restaurant is a great restaurant in the heart of Stranmillis. My wife and I had two main course meals with fried rice accompaniment and the food was all superb! Great flavours in both main courses. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the service was very quick even though the restaurant was full. Would definitely recommend.

   My partner and I visited this restaurant tonight. We had an excellent meal here with aromatic duck for starter (which was shredded in front of us), sweet and sour chicken, salted chilli chicken, rice and chips. The atmosphere was excellent although a little loud at times (not the restaurants fault, there was a birthday party enjoying themselves). The staff were very friendly and after the meal gave us some tips on places to visit locally. Portion sizes were fantastic and we both thoroughly enjoyed the food. The icing on the cake was when we received the bill and it was incredibly reasonable for the amount of food and drink we had. Would recommend a visit here.
