148 Chinese was indeed very good. Especially their sesame prawn toast. A very friendly place too. 

Glad you enjoyed 148 

There is also, slight further out, Dragons Castle at the Elephant and Castle, a bit of an experience but good food

The new Chinese on Lordship Lane, Chi, is really good and the staff are really warm and welcoming. Food is authentic and delicious. I highly recommend! We ate in but they also do takeaway.

I would advise against Dragon Castle. It's overpriced and really not that high quality (one dish came to me only half defrosted), with excruciatingly slow service. After going there 3 times, we've given up. 

Instead I would recommend some of the many new Chinese places which have cropped up on E&C: Pot & Rice (Taiwanese), Murger Han (Xi'an food), Oisoi (Jiangnan cuisine, more high-end) and so on.

Archie, with your chicken poisoning and half cooked Chinese experience, remind me never to join you for a meal as you seem really unlucky 🤣

Are there any Chinese restaurants who do their own deliveries?

148 on Lordship Lane

I think Magic Wok on Lordship Lane near The Plough does its own deliveries. It's a classic takeaway place.

Three Uncles in Brixton Market is pretty good (and only a short trip away on the 37).

Golden Kitchen is good for take away and they have their own website and drivers.

Only for deliveries, they take card in the resturant

Yes, I know that.  I want a delivery. It seems that must, if not all local Chinese restaurants want cash on delivery.
