I haven't found any that I'm thrilled by but oriental culture [7701 1818] on denmark hill are friendly and reasonable and the foods fine and I'm sure they'll deliver all the way over the hill, but nothing extraordinary. Word on the forum is that the Thai Pavilion is good stuff, but have yet to try.

Nothing to write home about for me, although Mr Liu's has been recommended by a few people but am yet to try it out - have found Chopsticks to be pretty tardy with their delivery and the food generally suffers accordingly. This said, I generally prefer a curry.

I'm not sure what their delivery service is like, we live close enough to drop in and pick the food up, but Gold Lee is well worth a try. Their crispy fried squid with salt and chilli is amazing, melts in the mouth.

Eh? Since when was the Sea Cow Chinese?

Whew, someone spotted the elephant in the room, I thought I was just being a thicko. Mind you Manatee sounds sort of chinese.

Has anyone ever tried Zin Oriental? My neighbour says it's good, but those pictures of the food outside the shop have always scared me away as they all look utterly foul.

i use zin quite a lot, it's a bit msg-ey at times but it does the job okay. their korean sticky chicken is quite yum.

Gold Lee have really speedy delivery - their food can be a bit hit and miss though - starters are always good but I find their mains a bit gloopy. Chopsticks is better food i think, their chilli salt and pepper squid is also excellent, although sometimes when i've phoned in an order it's been an hour and a half wait for delivery, which is less than ideal. very excited though that the Thai Corner Cafe has started delivering - this may have happened a while ago and I've only just cottoned on, but I think their food's the nuts. they would get my vote.

Mr Liu every time

[RosieH]

what would you recommend? having a Friday night in and will sample their wares

[Kathryn]

Perhaps we could order different ones and compare tomorow. Im willing to try one I havent before

Tse's in Forest Hill is great and delivers to East Dulwich
