This is by far one of the best Chinese meals my husband and I have had in our lives. We had a take-away which we collected and the service from the bright and cheery chap on the phone was great. We ordered a selection of dumplings which were excellent, a delicious aromatic duck pancakes plus exceptional prawn toast on sourdough with juicy sizeable prawns to start. We then shared the Szechuan chicken and chilli beef in black bean sauce and the quality of both of these dishes was fantastic. The egg fried rice and the rice noodles were also tasty enough to enjoy by themselves. Would highly recommend this brilliant place.
We decided to celebrate the end of lockdown by visiting this restaurant, based on its reviews. However, we were very disappointed with our experience. The crispy duck we ordered resembled a frozen dish you could buy at a grocery store for £1.99, not something worth over £25. The pancakes were also poor quality. We do not recommend the crispy beef either, as it was just a pile of fried batter. Additionally, the waitress had a very soft voice trying to talk through her mask, so we couldn't hear what she was saying. Overall, we were not satisfied with our time and money spent here. Not recommended.
This is one of my top restaurants in Streatham. I have struggled to find many truly high-quality Chinese restaurants in this part of South London, but this one definitely stands out. The dim sum, crispy duck, and classic dishes such as crispy beef and cashew chicken are all excellent. They also have a good selection of wines. I personally prefer dining in at the restaurant, but their takeaway option is also good (although we did have an issue with a driver stealing our order the first time we tried it, the restaurant promptly arranged for a replacement and it hasn't been a problem since).
Hadn’t been here for a good few years, but will be back very soon. Food was very good, dim sum dishes excellent. We had the seafood ones and some pork buns, all were as good as you get anywhere. Main course are limited and the menu could do with a noodle side dish, just steamed rice on offer. All in all though an enjoyable meal with nice service and a lovely environment (though personally not convinced by the round tables but maybe they are a space saver. Wine list offers a good selection. Book a table now
I recently had a fantastic takeaway experience at Rice Republic. The food was presented beautifully, especially for takeout. The dishes were of excellent quality and incredibly delicious. I especially loved the crispy chilli beef. The prices were reasonable and we placed our order through Deliveroo. This place serves top-notch Chinese cuisine! I highly recommend it for takeout and cannot wait to dine in once the restaurant fully reopens, as the interior looks charming.
Delicious food! We had some insanely scrummy food. Staff were really attentive and lovely. We were starving so tried the majority of the menu, safe to say we left happy and very full. We’d really recommend this hidden gem .... try the prawn sesame toast on sourdough bread, mouth watering. We will be back soon!
The decor of this place was really funky and rustic and the food was amazing. They do at least 5 vegan dim sum which were incredible and a sweet and sour tofu main all very very good value too. Would 100% visit and it's a great little haven on the Streatham High Road.
We really love this place, we come here 2 times and taste all the menu. Very kind people and owner too. HOpe to come here in London very soon to see everyone again. Greetings Book a table now
All the food was absolutely great, wine was also excellent (the bio viognier) and the mushroom dumpling was hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten.
We visited here just before lockdown and can't wait until we can return. The food is exceptional and the restaurant has a lovely feel to it.
