Chinese Canteen in Southwark

My family and I were looking for a good Chinese food place and this was rated 4.5 but we weren’t impressed at all. The noodles tasted burnt probably due to the pans being burnt. Nice people but food wasn’t that great.

This ‘so called’ take away, thought that it was ok to take my money for 3 curry sauces and 1 looked like the first one(normal takeaway size) the other 2 were a fraction of the size..!!!!!!! Disgusting, ruined our takeaway order as we’d ordered other bits from elsewhere and the curry sauce was an accompaniment...!!! I’ve local and I WILL NEVER USE AGAIN

Amazing food and big portions and price like it used to be a must go to worth the drive as they don't deliver yet

Heey, sehr schnell und auch sehr gut! Kann ich jedem empfehlen fürs mitnehmen. Sehr Aufmerksam. Schönen Abend! Andi

Stopped by for lunch, had a tasty ma po tofu with rice, and my lunch pal had the roti with dahl (there's a little roti place tucked into the canteen!). Both were tasty, reasonably portioned, and very affordable!

I was visiting this part London and fancied a Chinese. The Singapore Fried Noodles was OK. It wasnt the best by any means. It was perfectly acceptable and worth the £5 but it didnt have a lot of meat. I would eat here again as maybe there are some better Asian dishes to be had, but the menu was a little limited so we will see.

I was in London for work, and staying in the Travel Lodge nearby. After finishing work late in night, I called in for a take away to eat in my room. The staff were friendly, the food tasty and also reasonably priced for London. I would recommend you give it at try.

Well, for me anyway! I’ve tried a fair few over the years but I really like the food here. Their Singapore Fried Rice is the best I’ve tasted. Good price on food and awesome to be able to see all the food being cooked in the open kitchen.

Very suitable for students. Cheap, speedy and respectful service. The food is delicious and healthy.

You really can’t go wrong with this place. Nothing extraordinary, only decent chinese take away food at a normal price (around £5 per dish). Pitty that they don’t do salt&pepper chicken wings, but hey ho.

this place if very affordable, GBP4 for a standard rice is very cheap, chefs are from china as they speak Chinese dialect so don't expect they will cook nice curry for you if you know what I mean, go for anything Chinese on the menu.

I tried this takeaway for the first time the other week. Staying at a hotel nearby I fancied eating in for a change. Although the takeaway doesn’t look much from the outside service was very pleasant and the food is cooked in full view. I chose the hot and sour soup, special fried rice and spicy chicken. There was plenty of fresh chilli in the soup and chicken dish while although special fried rice perhaps needed a little more flavouring. I stay in the area fairly regularly on business so would definitely consider using the takeaway again if I didn’t wish to eat out.

have used this place for near on 20 years ! have always found the food tasty , good sized portions and good value. they take phone orders and service is always quite quick - be advised though they do get VERY busy on friday/saturday nights . Added bonus is you can watch them cook your food through the window into the cooking area

Staying in the travelodge and found this Chinese takeaway next door. It was lovely to see an open kitchen so you can see what is being cooked. Great food and cheap. Would recommend.

Made for a quick dinner. The food was good and plentiful for two people. Service was fast and efficient. Place was full and a fair number of locals appeared to eat here

We had a take away from here whilst staying at the Hamton at Hilton just down the road. We were quite dissapointed, The food was cooked fresh, but overcooked, there were a lot of people queuing so we thought that it would be good, but unfortunately not.

Food & prices are great. Only takeaway possible. So pack & eat at home / in your room. But beware - grouchiest servers in Waterloo here.

Все свежее, готовят при тебе. Лучше забрать с собой, помещение не располагает к посиделкам. Полноценное блюдо - 5 фунтов.

We had a small takeout order. It was reasonably priced, but the battered chicken balls were pethaps a touch overcooked, a bit crispier than we are used to.

My local takeaway, very popular, always busy they will make dishes to order if you have any preferences.

Alojarse en el Travelodge de al lado y no restaurantes de lujo o un hotel, pasó por aquí y tiene todos los favoritos y, a continuación, algunos. El Maíz de pollo y sopa ordenados, chili con carne desmenuzada crujiente, arroz, dulce y agria Pollo y algunos crackers de gambas. Gran sabor hecho con cuidado y amor. Puede ser simplemente un ser de lejos para llevar uno de los mejores chinos que he tenido. Y mayor sorpresa como dicen baratos

Standard Chinese takeaway. The prices are reasonable for London. The food was hot, fresh and very tasty. Service was fairly quick. Can't fault it.

He vivido cerca de este para llevar chino durante 20 años y siempre pensé que era bastante bueno, para ser honesto no hay mucho competencia para china alrededor de Waterloo. Estoy un poco sorprendido de que tiene buenas críticas, ya que es bastante básico - gloopy cosas y sabores salsas salsa para la mayoría de platos. Casi ninguna de las especias. Si tienes un antojo barato China probablemente será satisfecho. El chico de la recepción en estos días es un chico joven que creo es constantemente alta o muy raro. De cualquier manera, pocos visitas recientes fueron una gran decepción - simplemente no es buena comida y eso es una pena porque mientras que siempre fue sencillo parecía el ingredientes eran mejores que la mayoría. Ahora me parece muy insalubres, cata de gms extraño correoso de pollo, por no mencionar una muy sucia. Tiempo para un sitio nuevo, este lugar ha perdido su encanto para mí.

En Londres, si tienes hambre y no tener un montón de dinero, será una buena elección. Cuando residió en un hotel cerca de la estación de Waterloo (norte Lamberth no está lejos de eso), he usado una vez. Vi muchos clientes a comprar algo, así que me esperaba algo de buena calidad.

I regularly have meals from this takeaway. The food is tasty, choice is wide, staff are friendly . Definitely recommend this takeaway.

Habíamos estado en Londres varios días y quería un cambio para la cena. Este restaurante fue llevar a unos 100 metros de nuestro hotel (Hampton Inn Waterloo, 157 Waterloo Road). Nos dimos cuenta de dos agentes de policía, así que me acerqué a uno de ellos y preguntó si la comida. Dijo que era muy bueno, y tenía razón. Tuve dulce y amarga de pollo y mi esposa tenía pollo y verduras. La comida estaba caliente y fresco, y las porciones eran correctas. Una comida muy buena.

Estuvimos en Londres para vacaciones y alojarse en un hotel cercano. Después de hablar con un local y una buena crítica decidimos intentarlo. No piensas comer allí, porque realmente es para sólo para llevar. La comida era muy buena y razonable.

Este lugar es también buena en haciendo un extremo superior, sin frivolidades, con una gran variedad de deliciosa comida china para llevar. No puedo bajarlo si estás en la zona de Waterloo y tienes un fiver.

Servicio agradable y sabrosa comida. Recomiendo los fideos fritos. Está cerca de nuestro hotel, así que sin duda volveremos.

This restaurant is a takeout place right across the street from the marriott hotel, and. a 7 minute walk from Waterloo station. Being from NYC we have very high standards when it comes to Chinese food. Although western style Chinese food isn't "legit" it's still good. We ordered the special lo mein, bean curd, Szechuan chicken, and mixed vegetables. The food is prepared right in front of you and you can watch the Chinese guys prepare it. We brought it back to out hotel to find that the food was full of flavor. The best part though, was that it wasn't a bowl of grease. The food wasn't to salty and overall it was very good, especially for a place in the U.K in the middle of a white residential neighborhood. Also the prices are quite cheap.

We really enjoyed our food from here, we were very impressed. It was also very interesting to see the food being cooked through the glass window in to kitchen. Clean venue. One of the best chinese meals I've ever had. Shame we're not local as would happily regularly visit!

The food is really good and not so expensive. Although the place is quite small and not much good to dine due to no exhaust and limited number of seats. Still they serve a good meal, gladly recommend!!

Good quality Chinese Take out. Budget prices. Varied menu. Cooking is done in front of you. Chopsticks are available upon request. Cooked to order and able to cater to special requests (no salt, no soy sauce, no MSG.) Fresh vegetables, Generous portions.

The looks of the takeaway don't do the food justice. Closing in on 11pm on a Saturday night after going to a show and heading back to travelodge was looking for something good to eat. Food was cooked fresh and tasted great. Would recommend it if you're near.

If you are searching for Chinese food, it is on the left of Hampton hotel and next to Master Superfish. You will find the place small but i can let you know that the food portion is not small and they are nice. Maybe i'm craving for some Chinese food at that moment ...

Popped in whilst working , on a recommendation from colleagues , open kitchen area where you can clearly see the cooks and food being wok fried , very quick service good price had chicken ginger and spring onions with egg fried rice in one container cost a Fiver was in and out within 8 minutes , happy to recommend for a quick takeaway !! Oh and it's next door to Masters Superfish !!!

Excellent food speedy service very friendly staff lovely tradition Chinese food all cooked fresh in front of you and not too expensive set menus are great if your unsure what to eat the sweet and sour chicken balls are pure quality chicken and my favourite! Thank you our third night on the run at this place highly recommend! 5 star ! ❤️

The food is fabulous. The price makes it taste even better. Try the beef in black bean sauce - it is to die for. I just wish the people at the counter would smile.

Restaurante simples, sofisticado, comida boa e atendentes super educados, gostei muito e recomendo!!

Love this place, easy, easy, easy. It is a small storefront where you walk in and order Chinese food from a menu. The food is prepared quickly, and you are out of there in less than 10 minutes. There is only a few chairs for people waiting, this is more of a to-go place. I love the simplicity of it and the food is good.

There have been previous reviews pointing out the lack of police in this establishment. I can confirm that there was a representative from the met when I went in there the other night. The food was very well priced but I didn't think it was anything special so apart from the police presence nothing really to recommend it for.

Superbly quick cheap meal with superb quality. Defintely reccomended especially if staying at the Hilton next door.

After reading the positive reviews on TripAdvisor, I thought we would give Chinese Canteen a try since we were staying in the hotel next door. The menu was extensive and reasonable and we decided to try the dumplings, the deep-fried prawns (shrimp), and the chicken fried noodles (all under 5 pounds each). My son's favorite was the dumplings, my daughter loved the prawns, and I thoroughly enjoyed the noodles. The food was so good, we decided to get it another night! We ordered the dumplings and prawns again, and I tried the chicken fried rice. It was quite bland and I wish I had ordered the noodles again. I'll know for next time! I have two pieces of advice for the restaurant. The first: have take-away menus available for customers. I wanted to bring the menu back to show my kids but they had none. My second recommendation to Chinese Canteen -- provide plates!! With two hotels next door, many of customers are eating in their rooms and plates would be greatly appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend Chinese Canteen in Waterloo.

достаточно обычное китайское заведение-к сожалению нет в меню знаменитой сычуаньской кухни. достаточно дорого.

真的是便宜量又足，按照中国人的饭量一份足够两个人吃了打包带走的好选择，虽然店面比较小也没啥庄主但是确实便宜又好吃速度快，推荐一下

离住的酒店特别近，晚上不想出远门了就就近找了这家中餐厅点了两个炒饭加汤，价格特别惠，炒饭价格在3英镑左右，味道一般，和朋友都感觉有点咸，蟹肉玉米汤味道还不错，这边份量比较足，一份饭吃了半碗就吃不掉了，总体而言还行吧。

I stayed at a hotel just next to this takeaway restaurant run by Chinese where you can find two tiny dining tables. You can eat there but this place is basically thought for takeaway. There are a lot of dishes with meat, vegetables, fried noodles, rice etc. Two cooks prepared food in front of you. The portion is large enough and the price range is £3 - £5, which is very reasonable. In my hotel room I enjoyed freshly cooked Singapore noodles and special fried rice, making me very happy.

I like these kind of restaurants were you can see actually the Chef cooking in front of you, the food is very good an the prices are really reasonable.

We happened to be staying right near the Chinese Canteen and decided to give it a try. It is basically a carry out restaurant, but they do have a small table that you can eat at. We ordered the dumplings and beef fried rice. Those were both very well prepared and fairly inexpensive. I would recommend it if you are in the area and want something tasty and quick.

Been here twice now ordering the kung po chicken first and then the beef in black Bean. For a fiver they do the dish with rice in one tub perfect portion size. Highly recommended can't wait to try another dish next time.

I stay often at the hotel next door. I found this place a few years back, and gave it a try, thinking that if the local police eat here, it must be OK. Indeed I have had a good number of good quality take away dinners.On my most recent visit, it was a different story, very unexpectedly, not nice at all. Strangely, I didn't see any police on this visit.

You know a take-away is "safe" if you see coppers walk in & pick up some food just before you place your order. The Chinese Canteen is very handy if you're staying at the Hampton or the Travelodge. The food was good and cheap and what more do you want if you're looking for a take-away kinda deal?

I have to stop myself from going too often as it's just to where I work. But Wow Wok! They serve up the best Singapore noodles I know in London. High recommended.

We were tourists from the states and found most decent dishes in London's mid-range restaurants normally cost at least $10-$15. We were staying at a hotel nearby this Chinese Canteen and one evening we were so tired that we just wanted some quick food. We walked down the Waterloo road and saw this canteen. We weren't so sure about it at first because of its small appearance and the menu posted most dishes cost between $5-$10 only. In the end we were just too tired to keep searching for other restaurants and decided to give it a try. We were glad that we did. The Singaporean style fried noodle was so good and I swear it is better than many Hong Kong style cafés offer in my home town Los Angeles. My kids loved the Kun Pao Chicken and I also enjoyed the hot and sour soup. The only thing was we didn't know the dishes didn't come with rice (and we didn't ask), but good thing was we had ordered other fried noodles so we were good without steam rice. The next day after sightseeing, my son even wanted food from them again! I will definitely recommend this place and don't be fool by its store appearance!

Excellent sweet and sour pork Hong Kong style, with damn good prices for London! Wasn't waiting long either, and it's only a couple doors down from the Travelodge we were staying at. I will look forward to coming back on my next trip!

Perfect little carry out place right next to our hotel. We ordered fried rice, won ton soup, and dumplings. The cashier told us that it would take "a long time" for the dumplings but we were out within 15 minutes.

This is a fab Chinese take away. It doesn't look special, but the kitchen is open plan so you can see the chefs cooking your food in front of you. The prices are reasonable with many dishes cheaper than you will find in other parts of the country - yet this is still a place based in Zone 1!! Try their Singapore Fried Rice for a tasty dish with a kick!

I used this takeaway when staying at the Hampton Hilton next door. Staff were really friendly and the menu was the usual Chinese with very reasonable prices and pretty big portions. The food was very good and I enjoyed it lots. I would use this again if in the area.

The experience itself is not spectacular, small shop n the place is not fancy at all...No high expectations which was the best surprise for an unknown take away because when I got home I thought at least I could see the chefs making the food and there was no creepy crawlers!By the time I tried the food I was hooked, very tasty so sinful!!! It becomes very addicting so bewareI had the Mixed meat chow mein, so delightful n it was juicy with sauce...Guys u should all try 2 taste the food coz I'm going back 4 sure #Addicted

I am a vegetarian and this place was a bliss. During my stay of 7 days, I bought my dinner almost everyday from here. The place provides a no-frill value for money experience.

We took home some seafood noodles, the portion was large and the quality of the ingredients was fine.

This was good and inexpensive chinese food. Large portions, enough that 2 people could share. Staff was friendly and some speak english.

The restaurant is just for take away. It has a nice food and cheap prices. I can eat a portion of beef fried noodles in two meals and it is just for 4.30 pounds! So it is basically 2.15 for a meal! The food is quite good and done very fast. Recommend.

I came for a takeaway whilst on business in the city. I had a bento box. The curry sauce was nice and so was the chicken (considering I ordered prawns). The drink I paid for was left put of my takeaway bag. You really need a drink when you have the uber salty miso soup. I recommend the duck pancakes

Schmeckt okQualität okEtwas wenig Gemüse dafür viel NudelnGrosse PortionFür London günstigSauberkeit fraglichFazit: ok

If not the best tasting, at least it's quick and cheap. Try their combination fried rice. Very good if you're on a budget.

Next door to a great fish and chip shop/restaurant, we came here to get a bit of comforting won ton soup with our fish and chip take away. Not bad for a take away, the food is cooked to order. Only one table to sit and eat so it’s more of a waiting table. The food looked fresh but the won ton soup was a bit bland. The prices were definitely cheap though.

Yummy fried rice with meat and duck meat. I also ordered fried dumplings and its juicy!Its next to Hampton waterloo inn

High Quality, Authentic Chinese Food. A bit pricey (as with anything in London) but that is expected in London. Complete meal for 2-3 persons at 20 GBP.
