Reviews of Good Friend Chinese Restaurant

L. T. D.

The staff and the owner are very acomadatin even though we asked for staff that wasn't in the menu. Is a great little place to enjoy fresh seafood. I would recommend it .

D. M.

Friendly family run Chinese restaurant, which is well established. In addition to the normal array of Chinese dishes, they specialise here in the fish and lobster dishes which are cooked to perfection and are reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and eager to please. Had a great meal here, which included lobster with crispy noodles.

h. c.

Absolutely fantastic and tasty food, lovely atmosphere and service.

A. M.

Tried this restaurant out of the blue. The food was tasty and ridiculous value. Menu B for 2 was enough for another takeaway meal each. Restaurant a little tired inside. Looked like it had enjoyed grander times. Value for money though it's hard to beat.

K. H.

Our favourite place for celebratoty dinners with family. Staff are friendly and the food is always good. The grilled fish in Thai sauce is amazing, and are always happy to accommodate changes to dishes for dietary requirements.

D. B.

Friendly service and tasty food! Social distancing measures were observed, all staff wore marks and our temperature was measured when we arrived. The mussels in black bean sauce were especially delicious.

Y. L.

C. S.

Friendly and professional staff, well spoken and attentive. Food is delicious if you decide to dine in, also great as a take away. Quick delivery. Venue is clean and they are certainly going by the book in terms of Covid. Thank you for always accommodating us! :) Chloe + Damian x

Went here to celebrate a birthday. The staff were very friendly and helpful, my 2 year old was given a booster seat and she loved being able to sit up at the table with all of us. All the food was delicious, as good as any of the wonderful Chinese restaurants in China Town. After our meal we were given fruit which the kids loved. Very lucky to have this restaurant in our local area!

J. R. S.

A very good Chinese takeaway. Ji on the phone was fantastic and in our indecision recommended that we have the mussels in black bean sauce (not something we would usually order) and they were fresh and delicious. The mixed ho fun, chilli beef and salt and pepper prawns were very good. This will now be our go to takeaway.

N.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and very pleasant, friendly and helpful staff. The seafood here is fabulous, and they always have a specials menu which is very traditional and always top class. The waitresses will always guide you through the specials/traditional menu which I would highly recommend, go off piste when ordering, try something new you won’t be disappointed here.

Went for a nice bday meal, staff are very respectful and attentive, food was excellent, starter (bbq spare ribs) came very quickly, I got the Crispy Aromatic duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce(super tasty), sweet and sour pork and the house noodle, I ordered too much as I didn't know the portion sizes were so large (which is a good thing), one of the waiters even made the effort to sing happy birthday and put a candle on my dessert. Definitely would like to eat there again. Great experience. Oh and they gave free fruit and mints after the main. I was so full up I couldn't finish my food but they kindly packed the leftovers for me. Don't usually make restaurant reviews but they deserve it.

B. C.

Never been here before. Crispy duck was great. Prawn dish was salty and chicken chow mein tasted ok but didn't look very appetising. I would go back for the duck but choose other dishes

C. M.

Friendly staff made sure we used hand sanitizer on the table checked our temperature safety was important food lovely good value for money

C. r.

Friendly, attentative service, good quality fresh seafood and great crispy shredded beef.

D. M.

We have been using this Restaurant for many years now and what I read in the review by one Krystal Dobson I have to put down to sheer vindictiveness for some reason. This is a good clean family run restaurant where the service is excellent and the food , from both menus , is delightful. Go along and enjoy yourself..... I'm tempted to suggest that you say that David sent you.

V. I.

Love this place! Food is just amazing and comes in very generous portions. The atmosphere is cozy and staff really helpful. Prices are more than reasonable, making value for money really high. I'm now their regular client!

I. B.

Excellent Chinese seafood restaurant, I can recommend the steamed razor clams and scallops in their shells, the salt & pepper squid, salt and pepper soft shell crabs, steamed turbot. Price is pretty good for such high quality seafood even after adding a few drinks on. Area is a bit run down so perhaps not where you'd expect to find such a high quality eatery, try it, it's definitely worth the visit.

L. M.

Food was excellent, generous and well priced. Service was quick and very pleasant. Will definitely return. Would always trust a Chinese restaurant where Chinese people eat. If I was to suggest anything I'd say to revise their wine list. Will come again.

T. T.

This is the ultimate secret Chinese restaurant that even most Chinese foodies don’t know about. Hidden in one of the most obscure nooks in London on an unpretentious high street in Chingford with exterior and decor that immediately says “cheap Chinese takeaway” lies a gem of authentic Cantonese seafood that you would only find in Hong Kong or Guangdong or in well known Cantonese seafood restaurants in London such as Royal China or Pearl Liang. The menu is deceptive. Most of if caters to non-Chinese patrons that screams anglicised Chinese food I would never touch. But the specialties are the small seafood section and the specials menu which last time I was there, it was written in Chinese only. A couple of fresh specialties is not even on the menu. Don’t worry, ask the friendly waitresses and they will guide to you a great Cantonese seafood feast. You will notice a small few not so positive reviews - they are from uninformed diners who order the Anglicised dishes :)

J. M.

We have only had takeaways previously but decided to have a sit down. From the outside it doesn't look anything special but once inside you really get a feeling of being in China. Nice atmosphere, good service and great menu. Very tasty a d good sized portions

S. J.

You aren't coming here for a spanky interior, it isn't, but this family run Chinese is putting some fantastic food out. Seafoodies look out for goodies in particular - the soft shelled crab was deep fried but bone dry, the razor clams perfectly cooked and so delicious with some glass noodles and a nice light soy and ginger based sauce. In spite of the family coming from the HK area, lamb is on the menu and I can see why so many orders for crispy lamb pancakes were coming in on the phone to takeaway. Yummy!

K. L.

Our favourite seafood restaurant, guaranteed fresh sea food is served on the plates.

o.

The best chinese by far in the East London area! The Seafood is masterclass, my reccomendation Deep fried squid in salt and pepper, which is a delicious starter. Great selection of dishes on the menu, food is always fresh and cooked to your needs.

N. “. R.

The food is expensive here for a high street take away and the portions are quite small. You will find that the king prawn chow main is way too oily and the fried rice is too bland. The only think that I liked was the butterfly prawns

M. N. P.

Great food. Very welcoming, amazing staff. They have this little touch which really makes you feel spoiled. They offer so many free extras I thought it was an Italian apperitivo. So happy we found this little treasure.

K. W.

Was a bit put off by the exterior, but this is a great little Chinese. Fabulous food, generous portions, friendly staff and nice interior. Will definitely go back.

G. u.

Ordered from this restaurant a few times now. The food is always fantastic. The seafood is fresh hot and very well prepared. Superior standard to any chinese take away I have ever ordered from

D. C.

Top draw.. 1st time we've eaten in. Had the take out for years now. Always a good sign when local Chinese families are eating in. Get there early or reserve in advance.

S. M.

This is our (and the entire neighbourhood's) go-to Chinese takeaway. Friendly staff, fantastic food - we've never had anything less than a wonderful meal. Funnily enough, it's a family friends' (who are Chinese) 'secret' favourite restaurant that they wanted to surprise us with one day - only to realise it's our favourite takeaway! Love it. Also, I love Highams Park, and this is a delight to have on the high street!

C. R.

H. W.

If you like real Chinese food, you need to book a table here. Mind you, you will need to speak to the boss and tell him that you like real Chinese food. Remember that you mention that you won‘t mind paying for quality.

this is the go-to Chinese takeaway in the E4/ IG8 area. Everything arrives hot and fresh, and tastes as good as Royal China fodd (for the fraction of the cost) - never had a chance to complain.

We ordered three dishes including Fried Beef Ho Fun, Sweet & Sour Fish and Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings. Good portion size and reasonable price. Generally speaking the quality is above average but the seasoning of the Ho Fun can be improved.
