Historical version 11 of Hong Ha, SE17 2NA (view current version)

Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant on Walworth Road.

They also do takeaway and delivery, and you can order online at http://www.just-eat.co.uk/

Kake's overall opinion: inexpensive, good in parts (e.g. the Vietnamese pork spring rolls; not overly endowed with meat, but you don't miss it), disappointing in others (e.g. the crispy scallops; soggy batter, filling unidentifiable as scallop - or the satay tofu with lemongrass; overcooked, dry, completely lacking in flavour). They also completely forgot to include the noodles for the ho fun dish in our last order. Delivery is generally on time though, often even early.

Despite the "Vietnamese" tag, they don't offer pho, sadly.

The restaurant is noodle bar like in atmosphere and they do an all-you-can-eat buffet between 12 and 7. secretlondon tried this in September 2008. It was £5 for a billed choice of 12 dishes, although one of the 12 was just a bowl of sweet and sour sauce and one was just fried rice. All the food had meat in with the exception of some seaweed and some stirfried vegetables. secretlondon thinks the spring rolls were also vegetarian but you would have to eat one to see. The food was fine but not recommended for vegetarians as there were no vegetarian mains. There was no background music and Chinese tea was available for 50p. They have a funny thing going on with the toilet. It has a sign on saying 'customer use only' and another saying 'out of order'. The single toilet is in order, the sign is presumably to stop people hassling the staff to use it.
