Yuan Siu

About

Found on Isle of Wight, Yuan Siu operates from 64 St James's Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, Southsea PO5 4HZ. Reaching it from the island's main towns is a matter of taking a ferry across, with Newport, Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth all feeding into the crossing routes.

The business is a fast food outlet, and it has built a following on quick service rather than long sittings. Opening runs Mo-Sa 11:30-14:00, 16:30-22:30, with PH 16:30-22:30, so lunch and evening windows are both covered on most days.

A 4.5 out of 5 average across 122 reviews suggests the food has kept customers coming back and recommending it onward. That kind of consistency is what a fast food outlet depends on.

Rain falls throughout the year on British islands, and Atlantic gales are common in autumn and winter, so the ferry crossing is worth timing carefully. Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, while winter sailings are often cancelled by weather.
