DOES NOT CATER TO BLACK PEOPLE. Been in there plenty of times, brought my girlfriend with me the one time, i know for sure we are supposed to be served, given our menus, etc. When i came in and sat down I had to get my own menu and also went up to the till to order. I also never got greeted, i have clocked this multiple times coming in alone. The moment me and my girlfriend left, a white couple came in and he greeted them, sat them down and hands them menus. PLEASE AVOIDE AT ALL COST.

Haven’t yet found a spot that’s rivals this place. It needs to be open later!!! 🤣🤣 The sweet and sour chicken is just heavenly. The batter retains its crunchiness even whilst being covered in sauce (Most places it goes soggy/soft) Would definitely recommended

I love traditional caffs that serve a proper fry up. This time I visited Spicy Noodle Cafe which was actually unsuspectingly a caff. 20 years ago this cafe was acquired by SL who has added Chinese to the menu while fry ups are cooked in a wok. It felt like a Chinese Take away but caff style with breakfast and Chinese. Will be back for something else. There are three other Asian English Caffs out there which I have tried. One is English and Thai while the other one serves English and Chinese roast on one plate. Last but not least Billingsgate Cafe which serves Chinese noodles on Monday morning which takes effort to try.

I understand the price is very competitive and the food was actually tasty but this café hygiene level is far off the minimum acceptable standards! Price is not everything! If the "front of house" is so dirty, greasy, dusty as if cleanings have never been done, how would the kitchen be? How can these people ensure food and hygiene? I wonder when they got 4 stars and if any control has been passed recently. The service was good, the waitress was efficient and friendly. Food was good in taste. However, this café is really too far off the hygiene standards. The pictures attached speak loudly about it. It saddens me to leave such a review but I do hope it will be a constructive feedback for a café that could be able to provide the right standards for a great food offer and atmosphere.

I hadn't been for a while - I used to go all the time when I worked opposite and it was called Chris's Café at the time. I went recently and it was a lovely trip down memory lane. This café does typical English breakfasts and a lunch menu that ranges from salads, baked potatoes, sandwiches, chips to full roast dinners but for me their best menu is the Chinese menu - best Singapore Noodles in London I reckon - and I lived in Hong Kong for many years! They also do great Ho Fun (which not all Chinese takeaways do). Great value for money too. Not much space to eat in

Being chinese myself I have struggled to find an adequate chinese takeaway in Balham. Spicy Noodle Cafe is very good and much better compared to the others around the area. I've ordered a few times now and the chinese food is decent enough. Whenever I've gone to order food, it always seems busy, a lot of people order the western dishes which is also nice. The owner seems quite friendly although I have not been there enough to be considered a regular yet so don't get much of a conversation. My only issue with this place is that opening times, if they were open in the evening I would definitely order more often.

Está especialmente ocupado en el desayuno y el almuerzo, pero vale la pena esperar, o puede sacar.Chris tiene una memoria fantástica y, a menudo, sabe lo que vas a pedir antes de hacerlo.He llevado a varios invitados a almorzar y nadie ha estado decepcionado. De hecho, están felices de ir de nuevo.Mi único problema es que ahora no me gusta mucho la comida china en ningún otro lugar.

Found this cafe/eaterie by accident! Balham is where we have come for funeral masses early in the morning after an hoursplus journey from home. The cafe offers brilliant breakfasts with loads of choice. It is not a trendy style type cafe, but it offers honest tasty food and good beverages as can be attested by the many clients it is able to cater for quickly. Queue up and order a number 5 for a very full English or choose one of the many other dishes or sandwiches available...one man this morning chose spaghetti Bol, another the house noodle speciality...this place is great...may appear a bit rough, but give it a try, you won’t be disappointed with the breakfasts.
