Now closed; was a Chinese restaurant and takeaway at [[Locale Elephant And Castle|Elephant & Castle]]. As of mid-2012, the premises were occupied by a pan-Asian restaurant called [http://nomnomscafe.moonfruit.com/ Nom Noms Cafe], in 2014 it is occupied by [[After Taste, SE1 6SF]]. The information below is retained for people who want to know what it was like. <div class="old_info"> Chinese restaurant at [[Locale Elephant And Castle|Elephant & Castle]], with online ordering through [http://www.urbanbite.com/ Urbanbite]. [[secretlondon]] placed an order with them one Thursday in February 2009. I had house special Japanese fried noodles (£4.10) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3349332465 photo]</small> which was mixed meats in gravy with fat Japanese noodles. I also had five vegetarian spring rolls (£2.70), six pork dumplings (£3.70) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3349332093/ photo]</small>, a 1.5 litre bottle of diet coke (£1.80) and a 1.5 litre carton of orange juice (£2.80). [[Kake]] and [[bob]] gave them another go on a Saturday evening in July 2009, ordering via Urbanbite. Among the starters, deep-fried salt and chilli squid (£4.20) was not good; there was too much of the batter coating, which was bland and very greasy and had failed to stick to the squid. Deep-fried corn-smoked chicken (£3.60) was better, though still nothing special, and no smokiness was detectable. Pork dumplings (£3.70) — see [[secretlondon]]'s photo linked above — were fine. Moving on to mains, Szechuan tofu (£3.40) was very bland; the sauce hadn't penetrated the tofu at all. [[Kake]] initially mistook the fried aubergine in yellow bean sauce (£3.40) for sea-spiced aubergine, and indeed they may have just sent us the wrong thing. In any case, it had a reasonable flavour but was spoiled by excessive greasiness. Boiled rice (£1.70) was below average. [[Kake]]'s verdict: Nothing special.
