Called up Nid Ting the other night to order take-away. I asked the lady on the other line if they…read morehad a website so that I could look at their menu online, before placing the final order. She informed me that, unfortunately, they don't have a website, but that instead she knew the menu inside out and would be more more than happy to help me make a decision: I loved the idea of having a "human" or "interactive" menu and so I agreed on the deal. I was ordering dinner for a group of four, one of the woman being pregnant. This pregnant woman put in a request for beef and so I told the lady on the other line that, amongst others, I definitely needed some beef dishes...don't ever screw with a pregnant woman ;-) This is where it became interesting; I remember having eaten some lemon-grass beef dish at another Thai restaurant and so I asked her if they had something like this on the menu. In her lovely Thai accent she then went on to explain up me that while this is a possible combination, but that I'm fact in traditional Thai cuisine beef is not paired with lemon grass. If I wanted to have a nice beef dish, she'd recommend stir-fried beef with Thai basil. Or, the marinated beef salad. On the other hand, if I wanted the lemon grass, she'd suggest the Tom Yum soup. Needless to say, with such a lovely and informative interactive menu, I followed all of her suggestions. On top of that, I also ordered a red duck curry, a Pad Thai (with prawns and not beef, obviously) as well as a mixed starter and some egg fried rice and white rice. I thanked her and 15 minutes later I showed up at the restaurant to pick up my order. It was a Friday evening and every table was filled. (With it being so busy, I even more appreciated that they has taken so much time for me on the phone earlier.) The food was almost ready - thank goodness, or else the pregnant lady might have changed her desire and maybe demanded lamb instead of beef ;-) Lastly, I should mention that the food was great...and even the pregnant friend was happy as a puppy! Note: it's take-away only, no delivery.

We tried: - Pad Thai = above average and really tasty, although it only contained about four prawns (sad face) - Spring rolls = not bad, but nothing to write home about - Duck Curry = I loved this one, is had a gorgeous, slightly spicy flavour - Stir fried veggies with Oyster sauce = Not bad - Ribs marinated in honey = Oooh these were good, but the lads ate them so fast I only got to try one! All in all, it was good value, and tasty.

My sister and I were craving some cantonese food, the type you find in those restaurants which have…read morebeen operating since before the hipster revolution. This place is great, they have all of the traditional starters such as Sesame Prawn Toast and Battered King Prawns, which go so well with chilli sauce. Since we had stuffed ourselves with starters, we opted for chicken with green peppers and black bean sauce, with Egg Fried Rice of course. If you are looking for 'no frills' cantonese food, then this place is recommended. The service was polite and friendly too. The price is very reasonable, it's a great place to go.

Chan's. Yum. While…read morestaying with my grandparents for a few weeks in East Ham, I got tired of eating at home. My Aunt is obsessed with Chan's and sings its praises whenever she gets a chance (for a short time, she used to frequent this place almost every week). I walked to Chan's as it was getting dark, slightly nervous that I wasn't going the right way. When I entered, I saw a tiny (really) restaurant with plenty of tables full of people eating happily. It's a good sign when the type of food served in a restaurant is being devoured by people of the same ethnic group, it gives you a feeling that you can trust the place. I got my food to go. A heaping vegetarian dish and rice. The prices were fair and everything was packed perfectly. I relished it at home that night and the next. Everything was excellent. What got me was the service. Although the man taking my order had never met me, he was concerned about my walk home and offered to call me a cab. He advised me (since as an American I was clearly out of my element) that the area wasn't great to be alone in at night and wanted to make sure I got home safely. Since I didn't know my address heart, I didn't have a chance to take him up on the offer and walked home. Chan's isn't the type of restaurant that stuns you with high ceilings or decor or exciting lighting. They focus on the food and their customers. It is a restaurant of people who come with their families continually. I will be back the next time I am in East Ham.

Highly recommended. We ordered delivery and all of the dishes were very fresh, the mackerel and…read morescallop sashimi being stand out items.

Luckily for me, I found Oakwood Palace on my way to the tube station. It was very very good and the service was great. Very funny man, I can't remember his name, but great hospitality.

Visited here for a quick lunch with my partner who works around the corner. The layout and ethos is…read moresimilar to Wagamammas. The food is fresh, tasty and authentic.

I ordered Singapore noodles, which I really enjoyed especially as it was on the spicy side and Gyoza dumplings with I love and they did not disappoint partner was very happy with his meal too.

In terms of pricing for sides, you're better off just ordering another plate of mains seeing as it's not too much of a price difference. If you're after something quick, then this is the place to go for. Food is knocked out quite fast so there's no worry about not making it back to work on time. The menu is fairly Asian infused with Korean, Singapore, Japanese and Chinese dishes being offered. It does take away the authenticity as this restaurant chain tries to be overly ambitious and who tries to cater to a wide range of customers. I'd go here if I was really hungry but if I had to choose, I'd opt for a restaurant that sticks to one cuisine.

The place is seriously understaffed, I think I saw only 1 waiter. After being done with my food, the waiter took my unfinished dish, and proceeded to eat it themselves in the table beside me! Despite this poor experience, the food was still amazing nonetheless. Just don't expect a good environment to be eating in, because while this restaurant is many things, being clean is not one of them.

What's the point of self serving hot pot if I can't serve myself. And the service staff were not helpful at all. And moreover, worst broth ever... I dont know what they put in those broth but the spicy one way too salty yet the tomato beef one way too sweet. 3 times the amount salt and sugar needed. I normally love hot pot to death but this place failed me epically

Being from Los Angeles, our standard for Chinese foods are pretty high. But this restaurant is…read moresurprisingly authentic. We've ordered 2 take away dishes: Fried Japanese Tofu in Sweet Chili Sauce~ £9.80. The round shaped tofu are lightly fried with very silky and soft center, stir fried with squid, shrimps, imitation crabs, carrots and zucchini in sweet chili sauce. The dish has a little bit of kick from the chili and goes very well with a bowl of steamed rice. Young Chow Fried Rice~ £5.80. This dish was on a bland side and decent sized.

To be honest, I don't have a great story to tell about my lunch here, but I was so happy with the food and the service (the latter being oftentimes rather spotty in Chinese establishments) that I will give it 4 Stars! I had the Chicken-Noodle-Soup, and boy was this a huge portion: the chicken strips were fried in bread-crumbs, wich I really liked. There were plenty of egg noodles to chew on, but I kind of wished they had spiced it up with more vegetables. The broth (the heart of such a dish) was tasty - I spiced it up some chili-sauce though. All in all, the service was quick and friendly. I recommend going before the lunch rush though - noonish would be a good time.

It's a little dark inside, a salient detail as I write this in the depth of the dark winter. In sum, I'd rather not have another lunch here.
