The Spring Orchid 31 Baylis Road, London SE1 7AY

"Went here tonight and this older woman took my order with an attitude, I asked her about the food but she doesn’t even have the effort to explain it as if I’m dying to eat Chinese food and sorry for just visiting this take away. In the end when she said the total amount. I asked her how long it will take to wait and she said don’t ask how long just pay the amount, I told her that she is rude and I wish this shop to close. Left afterwards and no one is even inside, other Chinese girls arrived possibly they know each other.not even a smell of food being cook in the kitchen. “Don’t ever bother to waste your money here, rude and poor service is just a sign on how afwull the food it can be."

"Cheap and tasty Chinese take away. But long wait and bad service. the food was also too greasy. The beef brisket was tender and really big portion. The large Spring rolls were full of beansprout and sweet and sour pork was not good."

"Decent local takeaway, I was flabbergasted to discover the 'crabmeat' and sweetcorn soup can out of a tin but it had added prawn meat and was tasty and hot, the prawns with salt and chilli were flavourful with really hot chilli but were a bit chewy rather than crispy crunchy, I suspect this is because they were battered earlier and then chucked in the wok to reheat. As you can tell you can see straight into the kitchen which is reassuring and I'm sure they're not doing anything differently to your average Chinese takeaway. The woman behind the counter was really nice, prices are good for zone one and they're open late and on Sundays which is convenient."

"Really great little takeout place I walked to from the Park Plaza. Food was very fresh and not greasy. I had the sweet and sour HK style which was surprisingly light and fresh with crisp veg, the special fried rice packed with char siu and shrimp, and the salt and pepper chicken wings which were super tasty and extremely fresh. Great place to pick up some fresh classic Chinese takeout at a great price. Owner's son was awesome, definitely recommend as I was hesitant beforehand but did not regret going!"
