Historical version 3 of Sanh Hing, SE1 4TP (view current version)

Chinese restaurant with a takeaway/delivery service. For home delivery, you can order and pay online at http://sanhhing.justeat.co.uk/

The restaurant would seem to have an all you can eat buffet for about £8 (less at lunchtimes, more at the weekend) The sign suggests they have 40 dishes available on the buffet. (Noticed from a passing bus --bob)

They have a separate vegetarian menu including a large selection of mock meat. I didn't ask whether they understand vegans.

Kake and Bob tried out the delivery option on a Saturday evening in February 2007. Ordered and paid online, no problems with the delivery.

We started with mixed starters: £4 per person. Each person gets 2 spare ribs, 1 skewer of chicken satay, 4 pieces of sesame prawn toast, 1 spring roll, and crispy seaweed. Spring rolls a bit light on filling but not overly greasy. Main courses: sea-spiced aubergine was a little sweeter than I'm used to, and seemed to have no chilli heat whatsoever. Barbecue gluten pork (mock meat) Cantonese style wasn't unpleasant, but didn't seem to have much flavour over mock meat straight out of the tin. They also hadn't bothered to cut it into pieces suitable for eating with chopsticks.

Overall, I think my verdict is “competent and inexpensive, but unexciting”. I'll order from here again, since I'd like to give some of the other mock meat dishes a go. --Kake
