Good Friend Chinese Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

The food is superb and the service is first-rate. A must-try in London.

Nearly £40spent and Worst Chinese I've ever had rice was hard as rock ,ribs deep fried impossible to chew anyone with dentures good luck best thing about takeaway was the free chopsticks

Used to be good but now has fallen down a few points ordered take out was disappointed wasn’t fresh rice was cold and very thick won’t be ordering again

Excellent food In fact, I couldn’t believe that having lived here for over 20 years I’ve never been in there. The food was outstanding. In fact I go so far to say the best Chinese food I’ve had in a very long time and the service was great. Highly recommended

Great place great food and lovely service I highly recommend

Must be the worst Chinese I have ever eaten.. gutted as I really fancied it.. asked for no Prawns.. must of forgot and added them.. Special fried rice looked grey and mushy.. Zero taste. Special Chow mean.. no shrimp.. Gentleman said we have king Prawns asked for none.. yep they was there.. Not enough sweet sour sauce in the chicken with sweet and sour sauce.. I'm more gutted then anything else as this was a family treat... No taste. Wrong order Cold food. And crazy as it was.. there was an hour on the order.. Afraid. Will definitely not be ordering again.. Hey that's life .

Rude, had multiple issues over the years never say anything but the other week made a small complaint but still paid for food they then refused to serve us. Very poor customer service you should be able to raise concerns. I was still willing to order from there

We love this place. We could not find a nice Chinese near us in Chingford and tried here. The staff are really friendly, service excellent and food is amazing. We have also had the food delivered tasted just as good as when we ate in. Highly recommended. Will be our regular Chinese I don't even mind paying the extra charge for delivery as we are outside of their normal delivery radius.

2nd time here. Been great both times. This time the food was fantastic

Family celebration for a large group. Service was very good, Food was fantastic best I've had in some time

Service was great and delivery within the hour. However, the food not worth the price paid. I’ve certainly never eaten a King Prawn Kung Po with peas, no cashews and little sauce

Food was very nice Freshly cooked Salt and chili pepper prawns amazing 😍

Very tasty & good value for money

The best Chinese! I’m a regular…. I won’t get anywhere else!….Highly recommend. They could do with decorating, but the food is the best!

Good food , we dined early so we're the only ones in the restaurant. The service was good .

Very good for seafood dishes which is their specialty.

I really enjoyed my Chinese meal from Good Friend take away.The customer service was friendly, polite and helpful.The food was nice and hot on delivery and it did not take too long to arrive in Walthamstow. I will order again This time trying something different. Thank you Good Friend

We don't have an abundance of good Chinese food in Walthamstow so I was so pleased to find Good Friend (although I wish they delivered our way). We booked a table for my son's birthday and it was great - food fabulous, service super friendly and patient with the kids & a really great evening.

Great food and atmosphere . Recommend the steak with black bean sauce.

Best Chinese restaurant for miles

We’ve come back here a few times over the years. It’s a no thrills kind of place but the food is always excellent. Order in advance the seafood and you won’t be disappointed. For big family occasions and celebrations this is our go to place. Highly recommend

The best Chinese!!!! Nowhere else compares… We got sweet & sour chicken Hong Kong style, satay chicken, quarter duck & pancakes & shredded chilli beef

This lovely restaurant has been in the area for as long as I can remember, but this was the first time we've eaten here! The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere and very nice decor inside. The staff are all incredibly friendly and attentive. We were seated very quickly and once we had ordered, all the food arrived very quickly. The portions are larger than we had anticipated but definitely not a bad thing! The food was all so good and we (almost) finished every dish. I also love that they give you chopsticks with some chopstick holders placed on the table which is a lovely touch. The price for our meal was very reasonable, considering the amount we ordered, and they offered to put everything we didn't finish into takeaway containers, which we did. Overall, this is a fantastic restaurant with great service and great food. We'll definitely be back!

We finished our meal with my husband the waitress was the owner. She came to us and asked if you want something else, so we said no. She brought the bill even though we didn't want it. This meant get up and leave. It was a very disrespectful behavior. You are the boss. You are not kind and rude. Close the shop and go home!!you have to be respectful to learn to do this job!!!!

Add a very good traditional Chinese meal here today. They do really good seafood. You need to pre order some of the sea food to get it fresh!

Unassuming Chinese restaurant but amazing lobster noodles. Portions were very generous as well

Loved it here, nothing to fault 😍

Amazing place in every aspect. Service was so attentive from start to finish. Food was clean, tasty and not too heavy… packed with flavour and spice. Lovely little vibe and will be coming back regularly. Thank you!

Consistently good quality Chinese food. I order from there all the time!!

Super friendly and always accommodating to your needs. Thank you (:

Really tasty authentic Chinese food. Big portions and friendly service. Really enjoyed our meal.

Our favourite place for celebratoty dinners with family. Staff are friendly and the food is always good. The grilled fish in Thai sauce is amazing, and are always happy to accommodate changes to dishes for dietary requirements.

Friendly restaurant, nice food, great atmosphere.

Fantastic local restaurant. Lovely service, fresh, generous portions, the seafood is fantastic. Make sure you book on a Friday/ Saturday night.

Staff friendly and polite. Food and service very good. Will definitely be going back

Amazing food, great atmosphere and very pleasant, friendly and helpful staff. The seafood here is fabulous, and they always have a specials menu which is very traditional and always top class. The waitresses will always guide you through the specials/traditional menu which I would highly recommend, go off piste when ordering, try something new you won’t be disappointed here.

Excellent food and service. We especially enjoyed the crispy, aromatic duck pancakes.

Been going for years with friends. Good food in with fantastic service

Wonderful time had by all, great food great service. Will be going back again

The staff are really friendly and attentive. Food is good portion sizes while also tasting good. All for a good price.

Stumbled upon this restaurant when we got a flat tyre. Service and food was excellent. Would be happy to recommend. Will definitely be travelling back!

THE BEST CHINESE!!!!! You must try it!!!… I’m a proper foodie, so for me to say that is ALOT! A lot of their clientele are Chinese (which is always a good sign) … I will only eat here or a Yi - Ban, they are LITERALLY the best casual Chinese restaurants in London!

Tasty meals and good customer service

Friendly restaurant owner. Always has customers when I have visited. Service is of good standard, so is the food. Food is well presented, colourful and tasty.

Ordered today for delivery. Food took twice as long to arrive as I was told and the crispy seaweed was poor. When I called for an update on the delivery, I was told the order was out for delivery but no explanation or apology as to why it was so late and no update on its location. No apology from the driver either when he arrived. Disappointed.

Friendly welcoming restaurent food was good and priced right for what it was.

Its a simple diner that does very fresh and tasty food. We had lobster noodles, sweet and sour chicken, deep fried tofu, and stir-fried vegetables. The lobster is so delicious. Highly recommended for a local diner.

I dont normally review, but I feel this is a must, if you don't want to waste your time or money on under par food, I ordered from here on a recommendation, me and my partner ordered £50's worth of food to collect, I was beyond dissapointed. Every dish was over cooked and inedible, I will never stray from Chingford chinese again, don't bother i nearly lost a filling. TTFN

Lovely food, great atmosphere and nothing too much trouble for the staff.

Wow. My Wife and I found this place online as we were going to a friends in the area in the afternoon. We arrived at 5.30 on a Saturday and the place already had some customers in. We ordered all by our usual favourites and to be honest the quality of the dishes was better than we have been used to! We also trusted the lobster but wanted it done “salt and pepper” style and that was not only fabulous food but really great value for money! The service was also very very good! We will definitely be coming back here! If your in the area and lucky enough to get a table, this is a must try Guys!!!! Enjoy!!!

Great service and delicious food, specialised in seafood. Have been there several times and never disappointed. Please try their lobster with ginger and spring onions, and their mussels in white sauce......yummie.

This place is a total gem. Liz and her team are so lovely and welcoming, and the food is the best of any Chinese food I've had in London. It's cosy and excellent value for money. A must visit, even if you're not local. Order the mussels!! And the crispy duck.

I wanted to have a good chinese takeaway and watch a movie and i definitely got it, highly recommended. Very good food and friendly staff on the phone. Crispy duck particularly good.

The staff and the owner are very acomadatin even though we asked for staff that wasn't in the menu. Is a great little place to enjoy fresh seafood. I would recommend it .

Food always very good here a favourite staff friendly and welcoming

Best Chinese, takeaway or eat in , friendly staff excellent food never disappointed .

We had a farewell dinner with family on our last night in London. The service was prompt, and attentive. Our food was absolutely delicious. Every dish, spot on. Fresh, tasty and great portions. It will become a restaurant I will definitely come back to on my London visits, and they may have made themselves a couple of take away customers that live local. Thanks for a memorable feast with loved ones.

Food is good while a bit expensive.

Authentic Chinese food. Delicious and aromatic

We ordered three dishes including Fried Beef Ho Fun, Sweet & Sour Fish and Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings. Good portion size and reasonable price. Generally speaking the quality is above average but the seasoning of the Ho Fun can be improved.

Lovely food, good service and lovely stuff.

I love this place but your prices have gone up by a third. I understand covid has hit businesses but a whole duck has gone up by £8 and some of your dishes by £3. The whole menu has increased!!

Good food, friendly staff and good ambiance

Excellent best traditional Chinese food in London 10/10

Friendly family run Chinese restaurant, which is well established. In addition to the normal array of Chinese dishes, they specialise here in the fish and lobster dishes which are cooked to perfection and are reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and eager to please. Had a great meal here, which included lobster with crispy noodles.

Tried this restaurant out of the blue. The food was tasty and ridiculous value. Menu B for 2 was enough for another takeaway meal each. Restaurant a little tired inside. Looked like it had enjoyed grander times. Value for money though it's hard to beat.

Very tasty food, brilliant customer service, very gleen toilets

Absolutely fantastic and tasty food, lovely atmosphere and service.

Friendly, attentative service, good quality fresh seafood and great crispy shredded beef.

Lovely friendly staff. Food not great and doesn't cater for kids. Over priced.

One of my favourite local restaurants. Food is always fresh and plentiful and the staff are lovely. Love love the grilled dumplings they are the best. Worth a try and you won't be disappointed.

Delicious food. Excellent service. Highly recommended

Friendly staff made sure we used hand sanitizer on the table checked our temperature safety was important food lovely good value for money

Our favourite seafood restaurant, guaranteed fresh sea food is served on the plates.

Excellent food, great service, all around great!

Always good and tasty food and friendly staff

Best Chinese restaurant in London. Great food, great service!

Greasy, burnt, horrible £50 for very poor food. Never ordering from here again 😡

Friendly and professional staff, well spoken and attentive. Food is delicious if you decide to dine in, also great as a take away. Quick delivery. Venue is clean and they are certainly going by the book in terms of Covid. Thank you for always accommodating us! :) Chloe + Damian x

Never been here before. Crispy duck was great. Prawn dish was salty and chicken chow mein tasted ok but didn't look very appetising. I would go back for the duck but choose other dishes

Good food, great service, friendly attentive staffs. Will come back again.

Friendly service and tasty food! Social distancing measures were observed, all staff wore marks and our temperature was measured when we arrived. The mussels in black bean sauce were especially delicious.

Love it love it. Always good food and hot. Friendly staff.

Very friendly staff as the name suggests. Food tasted good. Portion size value for money.

Have ordered from here lots of times and the food is always great!

Enjoyed v much, calm atmosphere, friendly service, good homely cooking, clean and v careful about distancing & hygiene.

Had my fathers day dinner delivered, excellent food, fast delivery and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

A very good Chinese takeaway. Ji on the phone was fantastic and in our indecision recommended that we have the mussels in black bean sauce (not something we would usually order) and they were fresh and delicious. The mixed ho fun, chilli beef and salt and pepper prawns were very good. This will now be our go to takeaway.

Lovely food but too heavy with salt

Delivery order on 24 april 2020. Paid up front on credit card. Food came in good time. All Food was fantastic. Cant wait till next time

nice homely environment good service

I have been using this restaurant for the last 15 years moved out the area and still return to them

Long established local restaurant. Food ok. Decent portion sizes. Service ok but all a little rushed.

Loved it! Great food and good service.

New to Milton Keynes & a friend suggested this Chinese. Amazing food, great portions, reasonably priced & friendly delivery staff. Easy to order & pay online even added an item into the notes section which was added to my order & paid extra cash on delivery as paid for order online. No photo provided as I ate the contents of my plate before I had a chance. Definitely my number 1 Chinese.

Was not impressed with the management

Always a delight to eat here or getting a take away. Food is always fresh.

Good food and friendly staff gets busy

Great food lovely place and cater for Gluten Free.

Went for a nice bday meal, staff are very respectful and attentive, food was excellent, starter (bbq spare ribs) came very quickly, I got the Crispy Aromatic duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce(super tasty), sweet and sour pork and the house noodle, I ordered too much as I didn't know the portion sizes were so large (which is a good thing), one of the waiters even made the effort to sing happy birthday and put a candle on my dessert. Definitely would like to eat there again. Great experience. Oh and they gave free fruit and mints after the main. I was so full up I couldn't finish my food but they kindly packed the leftovers for me. Don't usually make restaurant reviews but they deserve it.
