Mixed starters for two (£5) were competent apart from the crispy seaweed, which was far from crispy, and the BBQ spare ribs, which were about two-thirds fat with very little meat. Aubergine in sea spice sauce (£2.90) wasn't bad; certainly better than the version we had recently from [[Sanh Hing, SE1 4TP|Sanh Hing]]. Stir-fried broccoli Szechuan style (£2.80) was very good, with a decent amount of heat coming from the fresh red chillies included in the dish. We also tried one of the chef's specials, "Amazing Potatoes" (£3.50), which seem to be potato slices stuffed with some kind of meat, then battered and deep-fried; actually quite nice. |

<div class="old_info"> Not-bad, not-great Chinese takeaway on the [[Locale Old Kent Road|Old Kent Road]]. Delivery is free for orders over £8. |
Will probably order from here again; I wish they had online ordering though, since the phone ordering process was rather painful due to mismatched accents between me and the person on the other end of the phone. |

It's worth noting that their "Thai" food is almost entirely unlike Thai food. Pad Thai, for example, was unrecognisable. Stick to the Chinese dishes. [[Kake]]'s verdict: Probably won't bother ordering from here again as they don't offer online ordering and in any case there are better choices in the area (e.g. [[Dream Taste, SE15 3LS|Dream Taste]]). <div class="last_verified">Food last sampled by [[Kake]] and [[bob]], May 2007.</div> </div> address='885 Old Kent Road, SE15 1NL' category='Now Closed' |
