Revisited a restaurant I've spent my whole life going to. I ordered the following:
- Fried ho fun with roast duck
- Deep fried squid with salt and chilli
- Sesame prawn toast
The ho fun is a simple but delicious and generous plate of smoky crispy duck and springy flat noodles. It's far from complex but a good value main.
The squid, to this day is the best deep fried squid I've found in London. Light in colour as if cooked in freshly opened oil with a pleasant vinegary dip and lovely crispy spring onions. The prawn toast, admittedly a guilty pleasure is also probably the best I've ever had with a generous amount of prawn and just the right amount of on-the-cusp-of-burning bread adding extra smokiness.
In fairness, the nostalgia bumps this up to five stars for me but I think it's deserved for sheer consistency over two decades. Okay, technically closer to three but two makes me sound younger.. -

The shop is located at the heart of Greenwich basically next to Cutty Sark DLR station. Upon first look you might think, awesome cheap big portion Asian food; and yeah that's basically all this shop has to offer...
Tai Won Mein, directly translates to Big Bowl Noodle, is, as it's named, serve very big portions of food, however, there is absolutely no quality to it, and it's just quite plain...
The BBQ Roast Pork and Duck rice was untraditional, serve with gravy rather than the traditional soy sauce, while the Black Bean Beef Hor Fun was just a Fried beef hor fun adding some black bean sauce on top, and to make the matter worst the Hor fun wasn't even seasoned properly while the beef is over cooked.
I mean I wasn't expecting a lot, but you can at least try not waste perfectly fine ingredients?
I will commend on their portion though, and given the size and the price, you can't really complain too much... -

This is a relatively inexpensive rice and noodle shop in central Greenwich, right near the Cutty Sark DLR stop and Greenwich Market.
Most mains are around £6-7, though plain fried noodles or rice are a mere £4. Drinks are also a little cheaper than others nearby, with sodas at £1.8 (for a small/medium glass) and glasses of wine at £3.8.
The portions are actually quite huge, with almost enough to split between two only medium-hungry individuals.
One thing to know is that they are cash only, so be prepared.
They also only have wooden tables and benches, so though there is ample seating, it is not the most comfortable. -

This place was alright but definitely not great. We ordered quite a few things from the menu and to be honest everything is very unmemorable with the exception being the whole fish we ordered that was swimming in wonderful flavours and was the standout of the entire meal.
Would I eat here again? The answer would be no. -

Delicious! Tricked my family into coming and they all loved it too! We ordered the chicken fried rice and it was amazing. My parents ordered the seafood fried noodles and it was flavorful without having a fishy flavor. We also got the grilled pork dumplings and they were some of the best dumplings we have ever had. Portions are huge so you can definitely share. Also, fresh squeezed OJ is random but delicious. Side note: cash only.
