Authentic chinese dining experience in Croydon

“First time ordering from 08 Express and I'm very impressed! Delivery was on time and the food is delicious. Very reasonably priced. Absolutely recommend and I will be ordering again without hesitation”

“The best Chinese I have ever ordered. Literally amazing, so fresh and so tasty, I don't think they even use MSG. Family run, cooked with love. This place is so good it is so dangerous. Love it!”

“The best Chinese take away in Croydon. The flavours are amazing, portion sizes match the price also. The customer service is great. Also you can pay by card unlike a lot of Chinese takeaways in the area. My go to is a Kong pow king prawn with special fried rice.”

“Highly recommended – a solid 10 out of 10 and definitely worth a try. It’s a long-missed taste of Asia. The laksa is outstanding, the stir-fried ho fun is full of wok hei, and the Malaysian white coffee is excellent. All that, and the prices are very reasonable too.”

“Food is delicious, especially the chicken and black bean sauce and Hong Kong style chicken. Really sweet lady who works in the store. Delivery is super fast. Originally we use to go to phoenix, but their food quality dropped, so we tried new star and have been happy ever since.”

“I recently dined at Crown & Pepper, and I must take a moment to highlight the exceptional service provided by one of the staff members. From the moment we were seated, Rohit went above and beyond to make our dining experience truly special. No matter how many questions we had about the menu, ingredients, or even recommendations, Rohit was always there with a friendly smile and a detailed answer. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they patiently explained everything we needed to know, making sure we felt comfortable with our choices. Whether it was dietary restrictions, customization requests, or even just curious inquiries about the dishes, they were attentive and accommodating every step of the way. What really stood out was their genuine enthusiasm for making our experience enjoyable. They checked on us regularly, ensuring our needs were met without being overbearing. The level of care and attentiveness we received was truly above and beyond. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to customer satisfaction, and it made our meal all the more enjoyable. If you're looking for a dining experience where you feel truly taken care of, I highly recommend visiting crown & pepper and asking for Rohit. Their exceptional service made our visit memorable, and we will definitely be coming back thanks to their outstanding hospitality.”

“It was Lunar New Year and so I decided I'd try Wei Dao and I took some fortune cookies with me too. The ladies working there were really nice. It was not busy on Friday night, I encourage people to dine in and ditch the takeaways. It's reasonably priced and had some fun pop tunes playing in the background.”

“Came home after 5 pints and absolutely smashed 5 chicken balls, half a Singapore vermicelli and half a mixed veg in oyster sauce, will undoubtedly smash the rest tomorrow lunch time. Absolutely banging”

“I have passed by this place several times without really noticing it, but was recommended by a friend. Excellent. Perfectly cooked rice and noodles, chicken satay one of the best I have ever tasted. Highly recommended”

“The person on the phone was very polite and mature I would highly recommend this place to everyone”

“Great service from Dans everytime. I usually order over the phone and pickup. I enjoy the sweet & sour chicken, egg fried rice and duck dices. One of my go-to takeaways. Definitely recommended!”

“I have eaten here my whole life, I've never noticed any decline in food or service. Staff are always friendly, whether I pick up or order a delivery. I am a picky eater so I always have rather specific requests and they always accommodate my needs with a smile. I believe their food to be good value for money, my tummy has never not been satisfied eating here. Thank you Phoenix for delicious meals every time! :)”

“I have used the Chinese shop for a while now, at the beginning the food was ok however over the last 4 times I’ve ordered the food has been amazing I think maybe under new management. I will keep ordering from them as like I said the food stands have definitely gone up. A big thank you for all the amazing food you have delivered to me over the last 4 weeks”

“Little Taiwan with its vibrancy and sense of welcoming soft and peaceful atmosphere in the middle of modern glass and concrete environment. I highly recommend its place for its character, service and of course food! We have ordered all vegetarian dishes and were well fed with beautifully served on a plate very tasty, authentic food! My son and myself have had an impression that we have been lucky to be a guest at some Taiwanese family home and were pampered with a well cooked home food! I promise you, you will not regret a minute when you decided to give BaoBao place a try! If you will order from them a delivery, you will get it all beautifully packed and a smiling cat will definitely cheer you up!”

“Very good prices and delicious food! I bought food from "Little Beijing" many times - not even once been disappointed. The staff it's very fair and square about what they can deliver or not, puting safety first of all and no quality compromises. Honestly speaking, it's a top one! And I've tried a lot before finding this one.”

“Had a fantastic evening at Inaga's Elvis night. Great singer a perfect gentleman. Lovely food. It's a must see. We went for my mums 80th she was totally overwhelmed and not stopped talking about it. Thankyou so much for the entertainment. Loved every bit.”

“Best takeaway in Croydon, bar none. I've been a regular customer since the mid 1990s. The wife and I love the combination of special fried rice, sweet and sour pork balls, king prawn curry, fried shredded beef with carrots and prawn crackers. The best set dinner for two is option A.”

“I have been ordering from them for over a decade now, and the food is consistently good and very reasonable. I highly recommend the Jade Dragon Special Crispy Noodles, which has an assortment of vegetables and several meats and a house special sauce completes the dish, a complete meal in itself for under £7. The prawn crackers are fresh and flavourful, and they've been very kind and helpful when I was convalescing and needed dishes tailored. Always delivered cheerfully, no matter the weather (thank you!).”

“Really friendly service and tasty food! Will definitely visit again.”

“Highly recommended – a solid 10 out of 10 and definitely worth a try. It’s a long-missed taste of Asia. The laksa is outstanding, the stir-fried ho fun is full of wok hei, and the Malaysian white coffee is excellent. All that, and the prices are very reasonable too.”

“The best take away Restaurant in South Croydon. The food is amazing - trust me! I’ve been going there for the past 6 years.”

“This restaurant is more than twice the distance of my local one but so worth the extra travel time. The dim sum was exceptional, very high quality and well made. It was also very good value compared to the nearest biggest dim sum restaurant. An unexpected added bonus was the Saturday 1pm raffle which was good fun and very generous of the restaurant. Staff and service was great too. No dedicated parking is the only negative. I highly recommend and I will be returning again soon.”

“fresh food an quickly made and good price. thank you”

“Good Chinese food with a good selection, I like the following dishes Singapore rice noodles, lemon chicken, special mixed curry, Sweet & Sour Prawn Balls/ Chicken Balls(not to much batter), Deep Fried Chilly Beef, Egg Fried rice, Mushroom Fried Rice or Vegetable fried rice, My dad likes the Singapore fried rice Vegtable, Mushroom or Prawn currys, Niece likes chips and plain curry so a dish to fit how your feeling & time of day. Staff are friendly and can help you pick a dish to suite you, are also willing to make changes like a but more spicy they can do that. Good sized portions too. Do home delivery now too but no card payment”

“This Chinese is very good I recommend to every 1 the boss is a man of his word he gave me chicken ball instead of prawn balls I told Hindi rectify and he did the food taste amazing the young girl also is very nice !! I just recently moved to area . I love it!”

“The food was so delicious and big portion of one person.”

“Have ordered from here a few times now, always really good food. Only slight compliant it that they often don't always stick to the predicted delivery time on just eat - once was really early (fine if you're in the house but if you were ordering on your way home or popped out it might not be) and the most recent time was late. Will keep ordering from here though as the food has been consistently great”

“Do not judge a book by its cover! Absolutely fantastic proper authentic Chinese full of flavour & very large portions! Pricing is too low for the Quality! I’ve been to plenty of high end Chinese restaurants & honestly this compares ! A little gem of a takeaway”

“Must try chicken in peaking sauce yum!”
