China Friend in Barking and Dagenham

We decided to visit this restaurant after elsewhere having few vegetarian options. The restaurant was clean and service was fast. The food was exceptional and portion sizes were quite large. The waitress was helpful and brought takeaway containers for us to take home our leftovers.

I WOULD NEVER VISIT THERE AGAIN JUST BECAUSE OF THE 2 RUDE FEMALE WAITRESS/STAFF WORKING THERE AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE FOOD...I went there and ordered a takeaway which was shredded beef chilli as a meal. I asked the waitress before ordering if the item i selected was too spicy as i prefer my food not to be too spicy.. The waitress looked at me in an angry way and told me " For you it will be not spicy and looked at her other rude watress at the back and laughed in a mocking way( I guess I was Indian and eat spicy food? As she was referring in that manner) . I was really felt insluted by two of them at that moment as it was a racist thing to me later when i received my food and asked for the cutlery(as i prefer to eat with folk and spoon) they told me I cannot get both(folk and spoon) I can only get either one of them!! I asked the management or whoever is responsible to take immediate action against this!!!

Very Clean venue; friendly, engaging and welcoming staff, amazing food & good value. I could taste all of the flavours in the food, it was very well cooked. I'd really recommend this restaurant.

This little restaurant fails to disopoint from the price to service and to the quality off food served - absolutely fantastic

Always provides a nice selection of comfort food served piping hot in generous portions. Always made welcome

Visited here before lockdown. Had heard good reports and it lived up to expectations. Good choice in dishes and selection of noodles. Portion sizes are huge and all nicely cooked and presented. Alcohol prices are very reasonable too! Staff are friendly and most important of all the restaurant is spotlessly clean. It's such a shame that it is hidden away and the entrance is usually blocked by people waiting for buses but don't let that put you off. Well worth visit.

The food was quite excellent and the service was prompt and very friendly. And all at a reasonable price.
