Wah Ping in Havering

This restaurant could be so much better but let down by the very unwelcoming atmosphere and the staff that show they are not interested in the restaurant . I was coming back from shopping at Curry’s and thought I would try this restaurant as managed to find a parking space in the road outside . Then entered the restaurant to see all of three tables scattered around the restaurant and a table of six but thought this restaurant was so cold inside . Then another restaurant customer piped up and said do not sit there as you are sitting right under one of the air conditioning units and was really cold air blowing out . So then moved to the back of the restaurant as thought this would be less cold only to find not the case and on looking around could see no radiators in sight so had to keep my coat on all the way through the meal .Then order starters they were fine which was chicken satay and prawn toast but the main meal we ordered came out after 5 minutes of ordering and was very bland which was prawn Schwane with was covered in lots of black chili skin all through the dish and was really BLAND. Then next thing the mature woman waitress puts the air conditioning on again just above our table and I have to ask for this to be turned off and notice the background music has disappeared too . The sad part is this restaurant could be so much better if the staff really looked like they wanted to work there but really show not much interest and stay away from the restaurant and hang around the takeaway section area as want very little communication with the customers

Best Chinese in the area! I came for Chinese New Year last year and it was so fun, and the food was delicious! A real mix of authentic Chinese dishes as well as some British-Chinese classics! Thanks

The special rice needs a bit of work IMO…it was a bit overcooked for me. The lemon chicken one

A wonderful evening. A big thank you to Alan and his staff. Would highly recommend.

My absolutely favourite local Chinese, having been to the high end ones such as Hakkasan, Wautcha etc, this compares very well without the price tag. I highly recommend!!!

Was there for a 70th birthday party the place was packed, the food and service excellent all round and they made us all feel welcome throughout. Hope to be back.

Amazing all round.. food was great, staff were accommodating and friendly

Great food, lovely service, beautiful atmosphere

Memorable evening with great food great service and great atmosphere

Food was really tasty. They did send me the wrong side but I was overall happy

We held my Dads 70th birthday party here. We hired out the whole restaurant. Alan and all his staff and chefs gave us a fantastic evening. Excellent service and amazing food. Highly recommended.

Great moment spent in the restaurant - King people and very good chinese food.

Excellent service by Alan and his team! Very accommodating and highest quality of care shown given that there were a lot of us! Food was excellent! Would highly recommend this place!

Nice people, good food and a good atmosphere. Can definitely recommend.

I had a fantastic time celebrating a 70th birthday party at this wonderful venue! The place is charming, quaint, and perfectly intimate, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. As vegetarians, we were thrilled with the delicious food options—everything was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delightful. The hospitality was outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to make the experience special. Their friendly banter added a personal touch that made the event even more memorable. Highly recommended! ☺️

Great evening, excellent food, excellent service and atmosphere. My best recommendation.

Great night at the Wah Ping last week. Very accommodating, great food and service, will definitely be back!

On time, though delivered the wrong sauce 😢 quality fine, maybe not as brilliant as usual and a bit cold…!

Very high quality food, highly recommend.

Came here for my wife’s birthday tonight(Thursday evening Halloween night). Unfortunately it was only the 2 of us in there which is entirely unjust as the food is amazing. The server was lovely and the place is decorated well. Will definitely recommend and will be back.

Always exceptional quality food, cant fault them 10/10

Really good food, nice staff, great value for money. Recommend to anyone!

Small Chow Mein portions, beef tough and smelt off. Fried Rice nice, Kung Po also.

food is quality and piping hot.

Clean, comfortable and delicious food with the most attentive and considerate service. I loved it, I'd visit again.

great rice dishes, great char siu, and pork belly. trying out vegetarian lifestyles now, was a good last meal. thanks for the sacrifices pigs.

I like the food; this was my first time tasting Chinese cuisine, and I had a positive experience. Great service from the staff. Will surely return again soon.

wah ping is deffo top 3 in romford. Great rice and meat dishes. I look forward to trying more of their menu.

Really good food here, consistently

Lovely quality food, highly recommended.

Recently ate in the restaurant and was delicious, but the take away was dreadful! Duck - overcooked. Teriyaki Prawns - overcooked. Prawn toast - basically overcooked fried bread without prawns in it. Chow mein - okay but rather greasy and more bean sprouts than noodles and the meat was incredibly dry in it. And for nearly £40 you’d think you’d get some prawn crackers chucked in, but no!

Definitely my Favourite Chinese food in the Area, fresh ingredients and good quality food 👍🏾

accepted order then called to say main ingredient was not a available. We said cancel order. they still charged for it and marked the order as completed. now we have to raise a dispute with Just Eat and from experiance I doubt if our £60 meal will be refunded even though its clear we placed an order from another supplier 10 mins later.

Best Chinese takeaway on this app!

First came across the restaurant when looking for a different Chinese takeaway and was blown away by the quality of the food. Then decided to go to the restaurant for the first time and can confidently say I've found my new favourite Takeaway and Restaurant. The food was amazing to eat and the staff were so nice and helpful. The price too is fair for a takeaway/restaurant. I would recommend this to everyone

Ordered via 'Just Eat' and was pleased to see the prices were a bit cheaper than or regular 'go to' Chinese. I ordered Prawn wonton coup, special chow mein, and spring rolls for a quick, tasty dinner. Estimated arrival time from ordering was 45-60 minutes. Spot on time, the doorbell rang and there was my food, dropped off with a smile. Piping hot, it didn't need to be microwaved, and had such a good taste across all dishes. The chow mein was full of lovely char-siu pork, prawns and the noodles had a lovely sweet/savoury taste. Also, it wasn't full of onions. Prawn Wonton soup was perfect - stuffed full of prawn paste and the broth was tasty but not salty. Definitely going to be ordering more from here...absolutely give this great place a try.

In short…you gotta eat here. We tried this first as a takeaway and were SO impressed with the quality of food we received, we were instantly going to order again but were even more excited to find they also were a restaurant. The in house food is stunning. I am one who is more than happy to have gaps between courses…I would rather wait longer for food knowing it’s been freshly cooked than it comes out at the snap of a finger. This was the case here and I would gladly wait an hour for food here if I had to. The rice was fresh, tasty, my tofu was crisp but fluffy, sauce SO flavourful…my partner had been rib which melted in the mouth and fell off the bone. Staff are wonderful. No faults. So friendly very attentive ☺️ As one with ASD, the atmosphere here is perfect. The restaurant is a great size, music a perfect volume and not too many tables means I did not get any type of sensory overload. I do not expect places to suit only me but it’s lovely when I walk in somewhere and am totally at ease. We will be back…very very soon!!

The food is of exceptional quality and taste. Highly recommended.

My second order and loved the wonton soup.

Quality of food was great and it was still hot. Seafood noodles was done to perfection. Will order from here again due to quality being so high.

Perfect fresh Chinese really lovely and perfect portion size. Would be nice to provide prawn crackers like other Chinese do but really tasty food

The best tasting Chinese in Romford. Don't go anywhere else. The best I've tasted. They definitely accommodate your requests. We asked to pick up after 10pm as we were coming late from an outing and they let us. Their food is fresh and authentic.

Very nice meal and service, there was five of us and we had alot of drink and food and the bill was only 60£ per head very good value, we really enjoyed the Korean lamb will be back soon.

Food was very poor quality, cold on arrival, stale and just not nice

very happy i found this chinese restaurant finally

I've ordered from this Chinese for a very long time. But the past 2 times I've ordered the food has been below par. Arrived in a decent 30-40 minutes but was stone cold. And the sweet and sour chicken has had a foul taste. Looking else where next time

Great restaurant, great service, great staff!!! Everything is beautiful and delicious. I'm thrilled.

First time ordering from him and definitely won’t be ordering from here again! Had to wait an hour for our food to be delivered for part of it to be missing. Speak to the manager, Alan who in my 6 years of hospitality has never worked with or heard someone speak so poorly their customers - he literally shouted us at down the phone and spoke over us, we literally couldn’t get a word in! When the missing food eventually arrived it was cold and the rest of our food of course was cold. Don’t go here

Over 2 hours to be delivered. Not good enough!

No cocktails on a Saturday night but advertised that they do them.Meal was OK but wouldn't come back a bit disappointed to be honest.

Waited nearly 2 hours after ordering. Phoned the restaurant to ask where the order was and they said 10 minutes. 20 minutes later still hasn’t arrived

Probably the best Chinese food around Romford area. Don't believe in me? Just try!

Our order took 2hrs20mins to arrive. When I phoned up they lied saying the driver was leaving in 5 mins. 40 mins later, I phoned back and he said they left 5 mins ago. We live 7 mins away - the food arrived a further 30 mins later. No resolution. Not even any prawn crackers. Food was average

Our ordered took 2hrs20 mins to be delivered. When I phoned to check if it was on the way, they said the driver was leaving in 5 mins. 40 mins later I phoned back and they said he had left 5 mins ago. No resolution was found and the food was average as well

Excellent food. Very happy with the 5* food hygiene rating.

Love this local spot! Waiters are attentive, prices are good and food is lovely. Extra bonus for such good cocktails!!! Finally a place that does decent margaritas. Been twice and will definitely come again.

Great food, tasty and well presented. It was quiet on the night we went so could not score the atmosphere, pleasant table service

Good food. Arrived cold had to warm up

Had been here for a few times and never disappointed! Food were all on spots (especially the San Choi bao, braised pork belly, prawn toast and the mayonnaise prawn), service was great and the price is amazingly friendly to your wallet!

I am really torn about this. The food is excellent, however, the night I came in it was only my party of two and a large party of 20 in the restaurant. Our starters were delivered quickly and were amazing, however, once cleared off, it was 45 minutes before I got up to go to the bar to pay as I wasn't prepared to wait any longer. I was reassured that the food was "just coming" but actually didn't arrive for another 5 minutes. However, I am not writing this off - the quality of the food is excellent and the presentation is superb; I think it was possible that they were thrown out by having a big party in. That being said; the restaurant was otherwise empty, so how would they manage if it was a full house?

Dear customers, Please assault the local traffic wardens the yellow lines down small streets go too far.

Everything is bland. It all just tastes of nothing. Not very authentic and pretty expensive. Don't believe this can be the highest rated in the area!

first time ordering after seeing great reviews. placed my order at 9 (only wanted 3 dishes) got an alert saying it was on the way at 9:20 and nothing has turned up! place closed at 10 so can't even call anyone. incredibly disappointed (and hungry and down £25!) won't risk ordering from here again

Great food. Recommend sweet and sour & chicken curry. Delivery could be quicker

Best food as always. Clearly, this restaurant has set its bar very high. I've been going and ordering from here from its Mingh Palace days and currently Wah Ping. I would say that the new owner has taken the food quality a few notches higher from the previous one. Thank you.

We have eaten here for a long time and never been disappointed, the food quality is amazing… today it felt and looked like our food wasn’t served with much care at all we are used to our food being in fresh containers, today a mixed hors doeuvres was delivered in what only can be described as a cardboard fish and chip box , which meant our starter was chucked into one box 😳 not what we are used to from here at all , our quarter of duck was delivered in what looked like a garlic bread wrapper , again used to this being shredded and presented on a bed of lettuce… so so disappointed and will not be using this restaurant again … what a shame .

Always the best! Food is so delicious and delivery driver was very friendly and fast.

Good food, not oily in the way Chinese food can sometimes be, reasonable price, fast delivery. Will order again.

Pork was awful. Came without the lettuce. Disappointing

Wrong order. Had to drive 40 minutes there and back twice. Had to give back the wrong order aswell.

Excellent comms and service from restaurant. Called me to advise one item on order wasn't available and offered alternative. Most wouldn't have bothered. Great customer service.

This place has consistently been preparing food quality food. Love it. Thank you, Wah Ping.

Every time I’ve ordered the order not actually confirmed till after 5:30. Options for delivery time started at 6:15 and for the third time arrived late. So will probably not order again from here.

Quite expensive but tasty. Very small portion of Satay sauce at £1.70 could be bigger and shouldve included prawn crackers

Food great as usual however I placed order just before 5:00pm and it wasn’t confirmed till just gone 5:30. Given earliest delivery time of 6:15 which then changed to 6:25 after I placed the order. But still arrived late. Not had this delivery confirmation thing happen with previous restaurants.

This was an unexpected surprise. The food was delicious. They are now my new favourite Chinese Restaurant. I truly hope they maintain this standard, as others have started out well and then gone downhill. I will definitely be ordering again from here. A big thumbs up.

Lovely meal and changed to my request. Thank you

Very impressed again. And my request taken on board. We enjoyed our meal. Thank you

First time at this restaurant, the food was so fresh and hot and so delicious! We will be back!

5 star food, plenty in the boxes, lunch sorted as well in one order. Food hot, tasty and worth every cent. Recommended highly

Food was amazing and service was amazing! Totally would recommend.

love the food and service but last time i went on a friday night the place was so cold that i seriously thought about putting my coat on - this ruined the evening - the heat from the kitchen will not heat the restaurant. in future i will have to order a take away and eat in the comfort of my warm house. ph

Absolutely fantastic food , compliments to the chef, everything was piping hot & sp tasty. Look no further for a lovely Chinese restaurant.

Consistently high-quality food.

Lovely meal and great service! All the food was freshly made and tasted amazing. We will be back!

1hr 45 to get food , and restaurant didn't answer phone after 9 attempts

Food lovely , only coment,,bbq sauce a bit bland

Really disappointed, have ordered so many times before and it has arrived hot and fresh. Tonight was Luke warm and my “crispy” veg rolls were soggy. Not a good one tonight ☹️

Absolutely outstanding food, totally recommend Wah Ping. Worth every penny! Thank you!

The salt & pepper chicken is incredible. Everything else was delicious too. Will definitely order from here again. Just wish they had salt & pepper chips on the menu and sweet & sour chicken balls.

Very very nice,been looking a long time for a decent Chinese, good fresh food ,no grease ,fat and not over salted or flase flavour ,thank you .3 rd order waited 3 and half hours for a takeaway, ordered at 6 ,food turned up at 9.40,kids way past it as were adults, yes i phoned so many times,to be told its on its way ,in the end i got to speck to owner ,to be told a big booking of 50 was making it late ,so i said u should been honest ,which i was told my orderwas only 55 pounds and i can have 5% off next time ,told him keep it and cancel order ,to be told its out side ,sorry to say it was Rubbish, cold ,not cooked well ,watery, no effort or care given to the food ,so sad i start to look for a decent Chinese again ,kept away no care for you ,just greedy lying people, such a shame

Shocking. Over cooked and not fresh. Below average..

Fantastic food, great service & very attentive staff & reasonable prices. Sunday evening great time to go, would recommend 👌

Over an hour late and still waiting. Do not answer the phone either. Very annoyed!

This Resturant is a diamond in the rough. I only say rough as it is just outside of the town centre and it’s never busy with diners. You need to step inside, sit down and tastecard the delicacies they offer. From the starters through the selection of main courses you will not be disappointed. The older review on this page are not up to date as this place definitely deserves a visit I tell you. It is amazing and different to any Chinese you will ever taste again

Visited on a Saturday evening close to opening time and it was nice and quiet. The staff were friendly and attentive - couldn’t fault the service! The food was delicious too. As a group of 4, we ordered ½ aromatic duck and pancakes, tempura king prawns, Thai Thai prawn lettuce wraps, peppercorn chicken, siu yok (you can ask for this if you don’t see it on the menu), Kung po style chicken, stir fried broccoli, deep lotus roots, Singapore fried noodles and 2 bowls of steamed rice (one bowl is more than enough for two people!). Will definitely be coming back!

Every time I am in collier row i order this. Best chinese i have had in a long time. The beef melts in your mouth. Myself and my partner have tried a lot of dishes on the menu and have not been disappointed so far! It’s a shame you don’t deliver to Wanstead!! Excited to pop into the restaurant one day😋

Food tasted delicious as always and the service great. This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Romford. Service is also always A1.

I’ve had loyalty to another local venue locally for years however, the food from here has been absolutely flawless. Sold on this place and will order/eat in again

Best Chinese in romford I’ve had!! Best recommendation!! Great portions, great selection. Extremely satisfied!!
