I've only ever been to Ying Wah for lunch and it's always been pretty good. For £3.80 they have an…read moreimpressive lunch menu with an entrée and either noodles or rice. Beef and mushrooms with noodles is my usual. The portions are really generous and unlike a lot of other takeaways, they don't skimp on the beef and round it out with a ton of mushrooms. Today I also ordered prawn crackers (they aren't given for free) for an extra £1.20. I won't get them again--it tasted like they aren't ordered very often and had been there for a while. I bought my Diet Coke from the newsagent next door. I've never been able to reach the restaurant by phone to order lunch because nobody ever answers, so I have to walk there. This isn't a big deal for me since they're super close and cook everything in about 7-minutes, but I have also gone around during their lunch hours (12-2pm) and found it closed. It's a small family operation and I assume with only a husband/wife team running the show, if one is sick or they need to do something else during business hours, the restaurant stays shuttered for the day. I know this all sounds bad, but honestly, for the price, portions, and overall quality of the lunch special it's worth popping in every now and again.

Not too oily, not too spicy, they cook fresh food into a perfect blend of traditional Chinese flavours, as well as adding a few novel dishes of their own making for originality. Everything, from the chicken in black bean sauce through to the asparagus with cashew nuts, is cooked to perfection... And as such, it's no wonder that whenever I drive past on a Friday night the restaurant is always packed! While the restaurant is nothing special in its own right, the food speaks for itself... And, if you're into Chinese food and excellent service, then I'd highly recommend this establishment to you.

Thinking to myself, "How hard could it be to find mall-quality faux Chinese food?" I steered us to Kam Fung. She could get her kung pao chicken and I figured I'd find something. Hainanese chicken rice seemed like a good choice so I went with that. What arrived at our table made Panda Express look like a darn delicacy! I'd take fried fluorescent orange poultry over this any day of the week. My Hainanese chicken rice was goopy and unappetising and tasted worse than it looked. My friend fared slightly better with her order but not by much. I felt majorly ripped off paying the bill and still had hunger pangs as we left. To Kam Fung, I would not return.

God, I love Kam Fung. I used to live just behind it more or less, so this would be our regular spot…read morefor take-aways. It is unarguably the best Chinese take-away I've tried in London, though it loses out by a hair to some other places in the dine-in stakes. Their portions are HUGE which is reflected in slightly higher prices than a bog-standard Chinese, but you very much get what you pay for. Their duck is great, thai roast pork is amazing with a beautiful vinaigrette swimming with garlic and chilli. Crispy beef are incredibly moreish and the best I've ever had. Of all the years of having food at Kam Fung I didn't once have a duff dish, though as Joanne's friend (see review below) advised, that may be because I dodged the clichéd dishes. Stick with something other than the faux-Chinese BS that pervades every menu in this country and you'll do fine! Service is friendly, prices are very reasonable, food is excellent. Fully deserving of 5 stars as it does what it sets out to do excellently. It may not be the most refined restaurant, but within its field it is unquestionably the best.

I've only ever been on a Sunday morning for Dim Sum so I can't speak for their a la carte menu, but it's definitely worth a trip if you're ever in the area! You get your usual bao and shu-mai here, but they are awesome! The shu-mai have chunks of prawn in them and not just generic minced stuff. I definitely must recommend you try the Vietnamese Spring Roll - this is by far my most favourite dish. They always come out steaming hot so if you're not careful you'll burn your mouth when you bite into it. It's also packed full of meaty goodness and it's dense that it's hard to hold them in your chopsticks for too long. The staff are very quick and efficient and I've never had an order wrong here. Slightly off track, but their crockery stacking skills never cease to amaze me. On a previous visit, the waitress cleared a table of 6 in one go and carried mostly everything on one arm!
