I went to a different takeaway last night, won't name it as that is not fair on a local business, but it was within a few minutes walk of Yee Wah.


I have to say the lack of quality compared to Yee Wah was noticeable to the point where I left more than I ate and it reminded me why I have used Yee Wah for over 15 years


Sad tear in eye if they have truly gone

We too tried a different Chinese a couple of nights ago, the one on the corner of Upland & Hindmans. We ordered the same dishes we got from Yeh Wah but were disappointed. The service was good but the food wasn't unfortunately & no way anywhere as good as Yeh Wah's & so the search begins for a good local Chinese takeaway

I had this posted through my letterbox about 2 months ago. None of my neighbours received it. Seemed like whoever wrote it wanted me to sign a petition.

If you've found out what it is about, I'd be very interested!

I've only had the vietnamese food there (not the Chinese dishes), but it wasn't good.


Wulli is good but if you're looking for shredded beef, sweet and sour pork, lemon chicken, etc then that's not really their forte.

I've never had those dishes....only the Szechuan stuff.

Woke with a start this morning realising that if Yee Wah have closed (high probability now) then the Chinese calendar on my bedroom wall is the last one I will get from them.


On the plus side it may become a collectible as a result. Watch out for it on an auction site near you soon !


Gina, it's not about how many takeaways there are nearby, it's about finding one that had the same attitude towards quality ingredients and food as Yee Wah appeared to have!

I've mentioned this before but Golden K1tchen (opp the old Grove Tavern) is our local and I'm a fan. Nothing fancy or unusual on the menu but good. They do a great salt and pepper fried aubergine and king prawn with broccoli. I pick up rather than wait for delivery though as it's a small family business and not sure how many drivers they have.


If you go in early evening there is sometimes a family meal going on with what looks like really interesting stuff. I did once ask the lady who runs it if any of it was on the menu. She laughed. A lot. Not much call for chicken feet in SE22!


Excuse spelling of k1tchen. Banned word I think.

How weird. There's a whole thread around that word in the family section, but you're right, I can't post the correctly spelled word on this thread.


Admin?? Some glitch?? (That should eliminate some of the possibilities for the ban .....)

Ah, OK. Must have missed it!


That must be causing genuine posters some aggravation when they don't realise why they can't upload their posts!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
