The foods they served here were excellent as both the seasoning and ingredients were on point. We’ve ordered braised sea bass, braised duck in beer sauce, stirred fried beef with green chilies, and a bowl of kelp with pork ribs soup. The stirred fried beef with green chilies was spot on as the chilies were delicious and flavourful. The braised sea bass and ducks with beer sauce was also great as the spice they use was able to draw out and paired well with the umami taste of the meat. Nevertheless, the portion was small as the three of us were still hungry after lunch. I do wish the portion size can match up with the price of each dishes in the future.
Outstanding Chinese food from Hunan and Chongqing provinces. Flavourful, rich and varied, I cannot recommend it enough. New Bristol favourite.
Very friendly and welcoming on top of the amazing food. Thanks Alan! 😁
Bristol’s best secret - it shouldn’t be kept for long. Amazing service, taste sensations and such a touch to have the option of eating under palm trees on a terrace. I keep some restaurants to myself when they’re small but thriving, so I can get a table - this one we all need to tell our friends about.
Had an amazing meal today at Your Kitchen. A really extensive menu that was difficult to narrow down (so we had ordered A LOT) and it was all incredible. So flavoursome, varied, and also came so quickly. Would really recommend.

Amazing experience. Came here on a Sunday, whilst the restaurant was quiet. The owner came to our table and recommended dishes as he recognised we weren't familiar with traditional Szechuan and Human cuisine. His recommendations were perfect, we enjoyed braised sea bass and chairman mao's pork. One of the highlights was the cold smacked cucumber! The prawns were also excellent, with a slight smokiness. Would definitely recommend to those who are looking for a more traditional Chinese meal and are willing to be adventurous. Will definitely be back, thank you!
Really enjoyed the food there - Authentic, flavoursome and delicious! The Chongqing Spicy Chicken (the one with loads of dried chilli) was so good on its own or with a bowl of plain rice. Preserved Egg (皮蛋) was right up my street too… Generous amount of garlic in the cooking made me so happy! Service was quick, attentive and friendly. Cannot wait to visit again… to sample more of the dishes on their extensive menu! All looks so interesting! Highly recommended!
(I have indeed revisited a few more times, and have not been disappointed… I tried the Stinky Tofu, Wontons in Chilli Oil, Dan-Dan Noodle with pork ribs… every single dish has been delightful!)
All foods taste good! The services are great as well. I go here to try stinky tofu, but other dishes are great too. I will recommend if you want to try Chinese food.

One year of 30 visits and keep trying new dishes, I needed to revisit my review for Your Kitchen and change rate from 5/5 to 4/5.
Food is still good and really tasty but quality and size of portions dropped. Some dishes fully changes (like cumin beef) and from 5/5 dropped to 2/5. All dry pots have been much smaller than before. In other restaurants stuff can recognise me if I'm visiting the restaurant 3-4 times per month but in Your Kitchen people are cold like always and not even carrying if I came back or I'm just another new customer. There is always additional service fee but there is almost no service. At the top of that, prices went up and if I will order 1 starter, 1 main dish and 1 dry pot, it will cost me roughly £50.
I will still be visiting Your Kitchen but I really hope nothing else will go worse.
ORIGINAL REVIEW WHICH I'VE ADDED A YEAR AGO:
Fantastic and authentic Hunan food! The restaurant is located in the basement (but it doesn't look like it from outside) but also you have some space outside in the garden. The restaurant looks modern and clean.
Menu is HUGE and you definitely will find something for yourself. We took 7 dishes in total which cost us around £80 so the prices are also really good!
Dishes came really quickly and all of them looked and tasted amazing! We had a friend from Hunan area which could confirm that these dishes were made in the proper way and taste in same way as from her province so it's definitely not "milder" taste.
I will definitely visit Your Kitchen next time because it looks like a great new spot in the city centre to enjoy time with friends or family.
Worth to visit again~
Some chef will put a lot of MSG for spicy food but this is not the case for Your Kitchen.
They serve tasteful spicy food and we love it🥰
Bristol's Chinese food scene has a new contender! Your Kitchen specialises in cuisine from Hunan and the Sichuan Province. It may sound like a non-spicy eater's worst nightmare, however, it was surprisingly not too bad even I could handle it.
We ordered four dishes between four. Chongqing Spicy Chicken, Fried Tofu with Minced Pork, Grandma's Dish and Stir-Fried Silk Potato. My personal favourite was the tofu - so soft and I loved the sauce. Grandma's Dish doesn't reveal much from its name but it's basically preserved greens with pork mince and chillies! Goes well with plain rice.
The only annoyance was their chicken could have been boneless for a better experience. We felt there was not much meat. Otherwise, it was crispy and delectable! Service is welcoming plus the cost was worth it. We want to eat them all.
