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!

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      If anyone is going to the meetings above, you may wish to raise the issue of the impact of the lights, noise & activity on the local bat population. Gala commissioned a survey on bat activity, which stated that activity had been identified, with several species detected, and that action must be taken to minimise any disturbance to these legally protected species. One of the recommendations was "to limit artificial lighting and reduce noise levels starting at least 20 minutes before sunset throughout the event period"  I asked the Events Team three months ago whether this recommendation had been implemented. I finally got an answer yesterday - "This recommendation was not achievable due to the nature of the event... it was concluded that not implementing this recommendation would have little impact"  So there you have it. Commission a survey (box ticked) and then don't adhere to the findings because it's "not achievable", thereby wilfully and knowingly negatively affecting the foraging & commuting habits of a legally protected wildlife species. This is on top of the useless bird survey, which only takes into account activity within the walls of the site, not the surrounding area which is full of trees with nesting birds which are undoubtedly disturbed by a month of noise, lights & activity.

      Really good service. Good bread. And very accommodating when we had to outwit our clever resident fox.

      Stop mega-nursery creating further traffic misery on East Dulwich Grove

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      ...and so, 4 years on from the "dramatic planning meeting" that approved the "meganursery", how has it all worked out in reality? The building looks nice from the outside - but I don't know anything more. Did either of the nursery businesses on EDG fail because there was no demand for nursery places in East Dulwich? Did Carmageddon on East Dulwich Grove get worse? Were pre-COVID work patterns abandoned forever (lol)? Were some of the concerns expressed in opposition to the planning application a teensy bit overblown...? https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/mega-nursery-approved-amid-dramatic-planning-meeting/

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By Angelina · Posted

      If I don’t feed the birds, they’ve actually come and perched on the fence and stared directly at me through the window. The squirrels do that too.
