The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Waddon Croydon London

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered vegetarian food on March 7, 2025, but I was served chicken instead of cauliflower. When I called to raise my concern, I spoke with a staff member named Omar or Umar. He did not apologize and kept insisting it was a "human error." While I understand that mistakes can happen, it is important for restaurants to take customer concerns seriously, especially regarding food preferences, dietary restrictions, and religious beliefs. I explained my situation, but he seemed dismissive of my concerns. This experience has made me question whether this restaurant can be trusted. I urge others to be cautious when placing an order there, as they may not always receive what you ordered.

Bakery claimed to be run by artisans. The price is the same as China town in London. The egg tarts are cold and lack flavour. The buns were dry and tasted old, not fresh. Maybe at 4pm, when bought they were old. Compared to the same product from London. They are definitely not good enough for the price. Obviously expensive compared to Hong Kong but the same price and not as good as available in China town where product is fresher. Not hard in texture as the buns are. Review does not allow upload of dry crumbly photo of bun.

We ate here on Sunday 23rd March, we have used and recommended it to friends over the past 20 years. We arrived just after 4pm and having been advised that bookings were only taken for after 6pm, we turned up expecting a wait. We were seated straight away and our orders for both food and drinks taken promptly. Our meals arrived within 15 minutes of our arrival. The menu offers a fair choice but since Covid it has been significantly reduced in items and I felt the food quality on our more recent visits, was not as good as it once was. The food is more costly than at our local Chinese Restaurant but that possibly reflects the higher London costs. The most obvious and I feel negative element to our meal experience was the staff. Although they were polite they were very direct and brisk in their manner, you certainly would not come here for the friendly greeting or helpful comments relating to your meal selection. That said, I would eat here again if in the area.
