After 1,5 hour of waiting, we received a message saying that our order was cancelled,…read morewhen i called them an operator said that the restaurant had to close, and then hanged up. Worst service ever, do not order from them!!!

I believe that this was closed and re-opened under new management just a few months ago…read more My sister and I wandered in here on a dreary Tuesday evening, while mooching around Crystal Palace looking for inspiration and somewhere new to try. We walked in and doubled the number of customers in there. It was a bit chilly in the restaurant and there wasn't a cosy spot, but it did seem clean, bright and airy. We ordered starters - vegetable grilled dumplings for my veggie sister, and I went for the crispy prawn rolls. My sister had a moment of panic when she tried her dumpling, as it did look and taste a bit like chicken. The waiter hurried off to the kitchen to check, and came back to reassure us that it was simply tofu... as he had 'checked the ingredients on the packet'! We were both relieved and a little alarmed by that! My crispy prawn rolls were absolutely delicious, and I would order them every time - in fact I now order them whatever restaurant I'm in, just in case they also do them! Our main courses were fine, I think I had some sort of sweet and sour chicken with plain rice, and I'm sure my sister had the vegetables in black bean sauce, because that's what she always gets. They just weren't very memorable. The service was pleasant, but not overly warm or friendly. 'Efficient' I suppose describes it quite faithfully. If this was the only restaurant on offer, then I wouldn't hesitate to go back. However, since it's competing with such amazing places in the same area, it just doesn't quite compare.

This is a great, unassuming spot in Streatham. We came here for dinner cause I'm craving for…read more(surprise surprise) rice and some good Asian dish. First, I'd like to say that if you come here hoping to find all sorts of rice dishes, you'd be disappointed. Like me, I was thinking that there will atleast be 3 or 4 different rice menu, but there arent. Theres only egg friend rice and plain rice for about £3 to £4 a cup. Second, the main dishes that they serve doesn't come with it either so you have to order rice separately. They dont have any set menu or anything like that where a dish comes with rice. Not for the dinner menu at least as far as I'm concerned. And being Asian myself, I find that a bit odd since we eat so much rice and the name itself is rice republic. Hence, the 4 stars. Now, let's get down to the good part. The food is amazing! Coming froma city that is literally a food haven, Los Angeles, I can honestly say that this place is fire! I would even go as far as they are perhaps one of the best tasting Asian spot in London (and trust me, I've been to a lot)! The steamed buns are great, and the dishes are full of flavors. They have quite a few selection of beverages as well be it beer, wine, or cocktails. Although a bit pricey, I would say it's so worth it. A definite must try when you're in Streatham!

I love Rice Republic. It is my favorite place in Streatham to eat out…read more I always get sweet and sour king prawn, which is sweet and fried to perfection. I also like the sweet corn and crab soup. They always bring prawn crackers too! The people who work here are super sweet and helpful. I came on Christmas Eve with my out of town family and it was great. Hit it up!
