Fantastic gem of a restaurant in a lovely little spot near Waterloo Station. Always look for an excuse to pop in or grab a takeaway. Staff extremely pleasant once they get used to you; I like that better to be honest, rather than false friendliness

One of my favourite go-to places for tasty comfort food. Fresh ingredients and not too salty (especially if you ask). Good size portions and value for money.

No fuss, quick service, gorgeous food with generous portions. Staff are friendly and ridiculously efficient. Nicest and most reasonable Asian food in the area, and there's lots of competition.

Great customer service, speedy service too. Affordable prices. But sadly the food wasn’t as good as I was expecting. Egg fried rice and sweet and sour chicken was good portions. The vegetable spring rolls tasted off? And I noticed my glass had an odd smell. Four stars as the main dishes were okay & as mentioned, the service was very good. I would return but perhaps try a different fish and avoid the spring rolls

Was looking for value Asian food nearby Waterloo station and found this one randomly. Surprised with delicious food at good value, recommend salt & pepper deep fry squid and chicken satay! Make me feel travel in Asia! Didn’t take photo for the squid as we finished too quick haha

One of the best Cantonese style food in London without exception. Have followed them since their early days in the dumpling inn ( just down the road). The. At the bigger site which is now culture grub. If you want excellent affordable chinese cuisine in London this is the best place to be. Price, turnover and quality is all excellent Only flaw I would note is that I miss the thick wheat noodles they used to use for the lao mein that is no longer present in the menu. But that is my personal preference at the end of the day.

I review this little back street café regularly, and the review is always the same, fantastic food at reasonable prices, but it is a cafe, not the type of place to get dressed up. It is very close to Waterloo station if you need a cheap meal before you travel…

Food: very tasty as if we are back in Asia. I don’t think msg was added at all. According to my hubby, the laksa seafood noodles tasted like what he used to have in Burma. I love their **super tender ** beef belly rice. Services: the owner is from HK years ago. Super friendly and patience to introduce the dishes. The waitress is very attentive to guests Atmosphere: best family and friends gatherings place after work.

En rentrant de voir une comédie musicale, nous nous sommes arrêtés dîner dans ce petit restaurant. Nous avons pris la soupe Won Ton : bien chaude et gouteuse, et les nouilles spéciales au poulet, boeuf et crevettes. On s'est régalé. J'aurais mis la note max si le prix des boissons (eau) n'était pas aussi cher.

Food was great. However, it was uncomfortable for them to ask me to pay £1 since they do not service charges included on the bill. I always want to tip on my own without being asked. Note that it's closed after lunch and reopened again.

The food is amazing, staff are friendly, and I managed to eat when the staff team were trying some new dishes. To my surprise they made some Hong Kong style 'Pineapple buns' (Bo Lor Bao) which was really good. Hope it gets on the menu! Would recommend a visit for the current menu, or if the timing is right, what new dishes that get on the menu.

Amazing!!!! Super tasty!!! Loved the spring rolls and my curry soup thing with rice noodle vermicelli!! The portions were big and the staff was sweet! I would come again for sure! Side story- I tried telling the waitress in Chinese that the noodles were my favorite but I ended up saying the bread was my favorite and she was super sweet about it. She said something to me but I didn’t understand so I told her in Chinese that I didn’t speak Chinese... overall it was a very wholesome interaction and I’m glad I came here!!! Totally recommend this place!!!

Nice little Chinese restaurant, no frills but good food. Take cash as they were reluctant to accept cards, when we said we didn't have enough and only had cards they pointed to a cash machine over the road, after digging deep we managed to find enough cash, not a real problem just be aware.

Went as a group of 3, we shared a bottle of wine and each got a main and a portion of chicken wings to share. The food was served quickly and everything tasted reallly fresh. The pork belly with green in shrimp paste sauce was delicious as were the wings. Total came to £23 each. Big portions, decent price and attentive service. We're looking forward to coming back.

Clearly wanted us out quickly Could not detect any beef in the Crispy chilly beef apart from having to chew a lot. It was Covered in a sweet gelatinous goo that made me feel quesy. Others in my party said they would not have ordered if they saw the state of the toilets before eating. Would not go back if I was hungry and the food was free.

Nice little restaurant. I was surprised that you had to wait partly for a table and outside even a small queue has, formed. The service was fast and friendly, and the food did not take long. The range of dishes was quite sufficient, and there were enough offers for vegetarians and vegans. The food tasted good, but my menu has not totally blown me away now. Overall, however, the price-performance ratio was entirely in order.

Big portion with small money Culture Grub is just few mins walk from Waterloo station. I usually go there for lunch before or after meeting because the service is quick and the price is good with huge serving. I was there again for lunch with my colleague before a meeting last week. Culture Grub 📍 84 The Cut, London SE1 8LW WHAT WE GOT 🍗Tokyo Style Fried Chicken 🥟Pork Dumplings 🍲Hot & Sour Soup 🍜Laksa 🥬Stir Fried Mixed Veg Hot & Sour Soup was my fav and I ordered it almost every time. It was loaded with wooden ear, egg drops and meat. I loved the thickness and the hot, spicy & sour flavour were just right. Love it 😍😍😍 Laksa came with lots of ingredients including king prawn, fish cake and vegetables. The broth was flavourful and tasty. Tasty😋😋😋 Tokyo Style Fried Chicken is new on the menu. Chicken thigh was lightly coated and deep fried. Crispy outside and juicy inside. Also, the chicken meat was well seasoned with ginger and soy sauce. Love it😍😍😍 Pork dumpling was so juicy and tasty (Swap to the end to see how the soup leaking out🤤). The filling was flavourful and moist. It’s defo a soupy dumpling. Awesome 😋😋😋 I have been Culture Grub for several times before. The portion is always big and the taste of every dish was consistently good. The staffs are cheerful and attentive. It’s a really good Chinese restaurant in Waterloo.

One of my favourite takeaways. They know how to properly cook Chinese food unlike others where they just change sauces to differentiate things. The meat are cooked very soft- peanut chicken skewers They probably have the best beef chilli I had in UK. Just the right chewiness although it tastes similar to sweet and sour sauce with hint of chilli. Sweet and sour pork have soft juice meat on it with slightly raw pineapple
