Best Chinese Takeaway in East Dulwich area?

[Mrsrhireid]

Hi everyone,

We've been living here for years and have eaten lots of lovely food, but we've never really investigated a good Chinese takeaway.

Can anyone give us some good recommendations. Good quality meat and not too much msg preferred!

Thanks

Silk Road. But you better be ready for their menu.

[Guest]

None in ED. Silk Road is northern chinese which is different but quite good.

For cantonese food, I'd say Dragon Castle at Elephant & Castle or HK City at New Cross...

Tasty house in Camberwell

[edcam]

Silk Road is indeed unlike any other Chinese restaurant in the area and infinitely better. For more traditional (i.e. what British people are used to in a takeaway)Chinese food, Wuli Wuli in Camberwell is best.

Silk Road and Wuli Wuli for the exciting menu. But for a good, basic takeaway I like Golden Kitchen at the Horniman end of Lordship Lane. Nothing fancy but decent food. And a great salt and pepper fried aubergine.

Golden Kitchen is good but there's another a few doors up (EE House) that I have a slight preference for.

I can highly recommend Tse's in Forest Hill, a long established restaurant (at least 15 years) that also do delivery or take away. Once you try their food you probably won't need to try anywhere else. I always know what to expect in taste and quality. I have also dined in the restaurant and everything, food, service, atmosphere is excellent. Noticed many regulars who were very obviously well known to the waiting staff.

Thanks Jah, anything particular you'd recommend having from there? I tried it a while back and didn't particularly rate it, but will definitely give it another go.

After exhaustive research, I personally always go for 'The Chinese Experience' in Brockley.

We like Home in Lewisham too. Some more interesting dishes, so my husband can eat his beloved tripe, and easier to order than Wuli Wuli as it's online. We and others have had the occasional late delivery from them but overall really decent.

there is not any good chinese food places in east dulwich .there used to be a very good one in upland road called good luck but they went up north a good few years back .All the ones i have tried taste as if i had tried to cook it

[jimbo1964]

This is all very interesting.Mr Liu is a favourite of ours but I'm going to give Tse's a go next time (for eat in).

[Siduhe]

Ooh, Home looks interesting - will try that one when I've got a bit of time to spare waiting.

Tse's is nice - better for eat in that delivery in my experience (good crispy duck too). Run by a nice family and agree there's always lots of regulars in there.

Good Luck was a brilliant take away.. certainly the best in E.D. but has been closed for many years

Hong Hong on Grove Vale is probably one of the best locally and my favourite.

Caf? Noodles Food un-predictable. Closes early at 10.30.. Very friendly staff.

Mr Liu is expensive and food is not that good. Sweeet gloopy. Staff indifferent.

Oriental Star .. average food. Cheap. Friendly staff.

We have used tses takeaway for 10yrs. Good standard Chinese. Great for all the regular stuff.

We've used Magic Wok several times (delivered).

Not an expert on Chinese takeaways, but we've always enjoyed them. Large and tasty portions :)

[JimH]

EE House all the way (it is near the old Harvester in Dulwich). It used to be good and is now taken over by new management and after a couple of quick blips is even better now! Tried Magic Wok and i would say it is alot better! Seems quite competitive too.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Tried the The Chinese Experience Sat night

very nice and will use again.

*sad face

[RichJ]

Wuli Wuli in Camberwell all the way for us

[Herne Hill Guest]

Another vote for Tse's. Excellent food.

[simonethebeaver]

I just wanted to thank those who recommended the Magic Wok. We tried them for a change and had really delicious food, including aubergine stuffed with prawns which is one of my favourites and hard to find. To top it all, to our astonishment, they returned shortly after delivery to say they thought the scallop content of one dish was too low, and they wanted to refund us ?2. Top people.

[yeknomyeknom]

Tried magic wok last night. It was a nice change from the norm. Tried the aubergine prawn dish as recommended above. Very authentic tasting, a cross between aubergine and prawn toast. Wouldn't have it all the time but nice to try something new. My overwhelming feeling of the food was it tasted nice and fresh and tasty and I will definitely order from them again (even if they did deliver at 6pm instead of 7 as requested).
