Good Lord. How can I have been such a goose? Having had a quick look at the takeaway menu, it seems I was talking about 'Lombok' and not 'Lamoon' all along.

My problem is - they all look the same to me (takeways establishments beginning with 'L', I mean, obviously)

I'm surprised to read that some forum members treated my first post with suspicion. Being a new joiner to the forum it leaves me doubting whether this is a place members are free to express their experiences and share their views! I don't feel it is necessary to justify my comments as it was a true reflection (even if it does go against the consensus of other diners). I have logged on today to look for other restaurant reviews and recommendations in the ED area but will probably reconsider - which is a shame as I was looking forward to being an active member of this forum.

You aren't the first person to mention such an experience but I hope you also noted comments supporting you


I hope it doesn't really put you off posting on here - if you do browse further you will see there is a wide variety of opinions and everyone welcome. And the more restaurants you comment on the more people can gaugue wether your opinion chimes with theirs!

Yesterday I had to edit some posts because they were by a builder pretending to be someone else recommending his services and this was flagged up by a user. This is something that does happens every now and then and we do try and monitor it but it's part of the way the forum works, sometimes these are flagged up by the users of this forum which bring them to our attention and we act accordingly.


That said people are free to express their experiences and share their views and I don't want you to think otherwise and hold back. You're exceptionally welcome to be a new joiner to the forum and find it useful and fun, please don't be put off and, as SeanMacGabhann said, please note the comments supporting you. Please let me know personally if you have any other issues.


As for Chopsticks I've never been there but then I'm an omnipresent being and only eat air and Spicy Tomato Wheat Crunchies.


Regards

It can be a pretty rambunctious crowd in here sometimes, but I'd echo the welcomes and encouragement, and hope that you stick around long enough to start enjoying the experience.


Sadly there have been quite a few dodgy and self-promoting posts in the past, so as usual it's the few spoiling it for the many. I ramble, in short a big HELLOOO and what do you think of Mr Liu's? I had a shocker there on tuesday.

Tried take away from Gold Lee this week after the good remarks on this thread, have to say it was a bit hit and miss


Pork in yellow bean sauce was good

Chicken Curry was pretty poor seemed like packet curry sauce from the chippy (never really go for chicken curry at chinese restaurants so can't compare)

Noodles with mixed veg had no flavour at all, veg seemed a bit 'gloopy' which always hints at MSG overload to me.


And why can't any Chinese do proper starters rather than the same old frozen stuff they all churn out, same as desserts in indian places (not another coconut ice cream in a half shell please)


Maybe I just chose badly but I think I'l be trying Lamoon next time


It suprises me that nobody has opened a wagamama style noodle bar round here, some relaxed, quick served Ramen, Sushi etc would be most welcome (or am I 5 years out of date here?)

The Noodle Bar opposite Mrs Robinsons is an early version of Waggamammas and much cheaper. Not bad nosh either

stella, just be happy that you didn't mention se5, the possibility that you may support a chain opening on the LL or that you know or are related to any estate agents...now that would inspire edf 'witty' wrath.


this said i went to chopsticks and thought neither bar nor good of it. our local takeway by hoopers has just changed hands and although the menu has shrunk the food does seem a tad better. it's called the 4 seasons, has not been reviewed by jay raynor and probably uses too much msg but hey, it's on my doorstep.


very interested by lamoon recommendations, shall definitely be trying them out.


personally, i also like to indulge in some fujiyama take away. it is one of those brixton staples that doesn't travel too badly.

Not really... wagamama is Japanese(ish)... ramen, katsu, udon, etc. The place you speak of (is it called cafe noodle or something?) is primarily chinese.

Buoyed up by confident recommendations on this here forum, Mrs *Bob* and I chanced our arm and ordered a takeaway from 'Lamoon' last night. It came nicely wrapped, which was promising. And the food was darned good. All the dishes actually tasted of something different, instead of that 'Chinese takeaway taste' we all know and love.

So it looks like Chinese is back on le menu.

Everyone give themselves a pat on the back. Except 'Chopsticks' on account of them serving rubbish food.

ha, i think the chinese would like to be reviewed by jay raynor too, but not too sure that he'd be that positive about it. having said that my sister had some left overs and it was a load better than the previous owners. it's changed name to sechuazan (sp?)...


i am intrigued by lamoon now especially with all the positive feed back, shall be trying them.

Thanks to fellow forumites, and not being bothered to cook last night, I persuaded Mr LWL to stop by on his way home and pick up a menu from Gold Lee. We ordered a vast selection from the delights on offer (my parents were over too and went a bit mad) and have to report that it was very delicious for all of us.


So Gold Lee gets the thumbs up from me too. At last, I've found a local chinese that does a good all round menu. Nothing too fancy or 'out there' - what you see is what you get.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
