148 Chinese is very good. It can be busy on the weekend so worth booking.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Chi Chinese on Lordship Lane is good.

148 is good , especially if eating in

 A bit of a run, but dragons castle at elephant and castle is also good 

Silk road in Camberwell is worth a visit

Those three are all good calls, if you want classic 'Chinese' 148 is best of the bunch. Good value too. Last time we went we had set dinner and were so full after the starters we took pretty much everything else home and had it the following night (ok i confess, some for breakfast).

I always used to feel a bit guilty about having Chinese food for breakfast, until I realised that 1.4 billion people in China were probably doing the same thing.

I just used EE House for the first time in years.  Can't remember why I stopped, but I imagine the quality went down.  It was honestly excellent.  Good portions and tasted great.  Great if you just want basic hearty Chinese food and nothing too fancy.

yes, but in their case it's probably not last night's leftovers!

[David Peckham]

Maybe not, but I use the same excuse for leftover Indian food.

It's quite difficult to similarly rationalise last night's pizza, though.

Just had lunch at Sweet Dreams/Aroma Coffee, the place with the slight identity crisis on Upland Road. I had the dumpling soup and it was SO good. Simple, balanced, just great (you can have double dumplings or dumplings plus noodles). Cooked by the young guy's aunty. It was clear they're struggling a bit, and it's clear they need some marketing support, but the quality of the food certainly ain't in doubt

When they were on Just Eat, I always used Tse’s on London Rd FH for a takeaway; I really rated them. But they dropped off the app, are they still going?

The best Chinese food I’ve had in London  is at the Joy King Lau, Leicester Street, W1. First went there on a recommendation 30 years ago.

EE House is pretty good. I think the food is tasty and good portion size.

Yes TSE's are still going and really really good..I did'nt suggest them because I thought OP may be looking just in ED even though Tse is just over the 'border'

been going there ages and its reliably good
