Hi

Please can anyone recommend a local (preferably East Dulwich) Chinese restaurant for a family birthday dinner this Sunday, open early evening?


My 70 year old parents, and two small children will be there so the food needs to be fairly 'traditional' Chinese, i.e. not too demanding- crispy duck is a necessity!


We usually get takeaway from Mr Liu and would be happy to go there but I'm not sure if the restaurant itself is a bit shabby? I haven't actually entered there for a good while. Has anyone had a sit down meal in there recently?


Many thanks.

I think Mr Liu is actually the only Chinese restaurant in East Dulwich, except for Cafe Noodle.


If you want something slightly nicer within easy reach, the only one I can think of is Dragon Castle (E&C end of Walworth Rd). They definitely have the familiar stuff, crispy duck, crispy shredded beef, etc, as well as some actual Chinese food.

The massive Chinese restaurant on the Old Kent Road (maybe the New Kent Road) is brilliant and very reasonably priced, plus does dim sum for lunch. Can't remember the name of it but am sure someone else will?? It has a few parking spaces on the forecourt.

You're better off going to Buddha Jazz on Grove Lane, nr Denmark Hill station. It's Vietnamese and Chinese food and they do great crispy duck. It's much nicer than any of the Chinese restaurants in the area, including Dragon Castle. The only exception is Silk Road in Camberwell but it's very canteeny so not great for an event like this. Their food is also v spicy.

The place on OKR is called Hong Kong City and is indeed very good, both for dim sum and for dinner, and effectively has two menus, one for Brits with all the old favourites, and one for Chinese folks or others who want something a bit more adventurous. From the latter menu I can recommend the braised belly pork in hotpot with preserved vegetables.


For a special occasion I'd go to Royal China in Canary Wharf, but not really local.

I went there the other day to pick up a take away. It had been closed down on the spot by environmental health. Was rather shocked as had only been there the week before for a TA

No mate, Dragon Castle is on Walworth Road! The place I was thinking of is Shu Castle : http://www.shucastle.co.uk/


But the menu looks mainly Sichuan, so would not meet the OP's requirements.

You probably haven't heard of Tse Restaurant in Forest Hill, just before Forest Hill Station. I'm a Malaysian Chinese and I've tried so many Chinese restaurant mentioned above and nothing compared to this except Royal China as DaveR quoted. You have to try Tse, their crispy duck is SO SO SO good! Just a little info for you, they do buffet on Sunday from 1-5 but you may order any dishes off their menu. Use Sainsburys car park if you are driving. Oh! ring them to reserve a table.

      Has anyone had any joy contacting Helen Hayes out MP?

      By ianr · Posted

      The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.

      She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck

      The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers

      Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!

      Calling all you London Reds (Manchester United)

      By malumbu · Posted

      It's time to ditch your team, otherwise you could be seen to supporting your owners dog whistle comments (aka racist). Fortunately you can support a local team, I understand that Palace have pretty right on fans, and you have Dulwich Hamlet and Peckham Town too. If you genuinely are from the North West then Everton fans are well rated for their politics (ignore the paving over paradise/loss of UNESCO world heritage status), and of course FC United of Manchester. Salford Town not a bad bet either. For those who are glory hunters dare I say over the river in the North London library aka Emirates (shame they don't rhyme) you have both the likelihood of a title this season and a very multicultural fan base. If you want to be really cool the Welsh speaking team Club Cymric, Forest Green Rovers, or AS Livorno in Italy, an anti-fascist team
