Chinese restaurant at Elephant & Castle, with online ordering through Urbanbite.
secretlondon placed an order with them one Thursday in February 2009. I had house special Japanese fried noodles (£4.10) photo which was mixed meats in gravy with fat Japanese noodles. I also had five vegetarian spring rolls (£2.70), six pork dumplings (£3.70) photo, 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.
