I had one of the worst meals of my life there. I can't even begin to describe how terrible it was. I love Thai food, and this was an absolute abomination.


To be fair, it was on New Year's Day, it was quite a few years back, virtually nowhere else on Lordship Lane was open, many people had therefore ended up at Sema Thai, and the staff seemed rather overwhelmed.


However, that doesn't excuse the pitiful plates of crap we received after a very, very, very long wait.


We have never been back since :(

If I were you I'd get on a 176 and go up to Chinatown- the food there is 'clean' and the atmos is great at New Year....

Er, yeah... Chinatown is renowned for impeccable hygiene. No rats, mice or cockroaches in those places. No way.

Lux Thai- beyond dreadful


Thai Corner- the usual bog standard.....but have had 2 deliveries that have been inedible about a year ago so no more


It's out of ED (just) so I'm probably not allowed to mention it but I've had a number of deliveries from the newish Matoom in Forest Hill and found it fresh, tasty and well above the normal standard. I kinda don't want to advertise it in case it goes down hill!


Would love for Mr L pick up standards but I don't feel hugely optimistic.


And yeah, I agree there's not a lot clean about Chinatown!

Your answer is about as useful as a chocolate Chinese teapot uncleglen 🙄

Thanks.


Shame they're still serving the same old rubbish. Prawns/beef/chicken in a choice of the familiar, grim-sounding gloopy sauces.

You'd have thought there would be some way they could change the website name to something more memorable - like 148 Chinese, for example, or 148 Chinese SE22.


At present if you put 148 Chinese into Google, nothing relevant comes up.


I'll give the food a try (again) in the hope that things might have improved since we last ate there ....

That?s a free name, there would be a fee for a more professional domain.

sarahtrinh.wixsite.com is an htpps: secure site probably the name of the person who created the site.


I would suspect there is a more appropriate Domain Name yet to be published that will point to the secure site.


in fact http://www.148chinese.com does point to the site.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
