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.

      Gyms in dulwich

      By NewWave · Posted

      Point taken..I go 3-4 times a week and have done every week for several years however £115 a month is still a lot of money for many people (myself included) for a 'non essential' One can if one wishes excersise by running or Cycling, swimming once in a while. Gym membership IS a luxury...

      Tawny owls are hooting in Dawsons Heights very near me. But very elusive birds. Sadly now on the amber list.  I have heard the owls every night for the past couple of weeks  It is good to know they are here. They are quite loud so I think they are very near. I have never seen an owl in the wild before and wish I  could  see them.

      Hi, looking for a 3-4yrs ski jacket if anyone has one they no longer need or would lend if they want it back for younger siblings in future years! Many thanks

      I used to hear at least one of those owls but haven’t for at least two years. 😕
