Your local, independent restaurant.
Confucius Chinese started as Chichester's most famous Chinese, renowned for its local touch and personal service.
We're a family run, independent restaurant with a twist in modern british chinese cuisine. We’ve been here since 1988 and we want to continue serving our community.
We’ve got this! 加油!
Traditions are kept
Using extracts of fruits and herbs, we make our own sauces in house. Over the years, we've mastered our Sweet and Sour sauce so that it balances between the sour of vinegar and sweetness of the sugar. We also created our own Hoi Sin sauce and many others as well.
classics and more
You’ll find renowned classic dishes along with new dishes we’ve added in.
Some are enjoyed better dining in and some are just wholesome favourites.
