Please recommend Chinese restaurant for family birthday

Recommended Posts

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.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
