yes, I think the red one with the restaurant area is better. Jade Garden maybe? Wish I remembered properly cos one was OK and the other crap.

Have you tried No 2? It's pretty standard tbh but we can get a meal for the pair of us for under twenty quid and there's enough left for pickings/breakfast the next day.
I was recommended oiishi in Streatham the other day. Not strictly chinese, also does Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese. Really delicious food.

HI all, long -time lurker, first-time poster here.
Chinese take aways: Jade Garden in Tulse Hill is very good. Speedy, efficient delivery and excellent ribs.
Big fan of the Garden Bistro, lovely people who really care about their food. Just a bit worried it will soon be impossible to get a table there - it's pretty small.

Been using oishii for years but stopped about 9 months ago because it went so badly downhill. So let us know if it's any good because it used to be quite handy.

Ooh what did you get? Any good?
I got a char siu fu Yung, aka pork omelette, with fried rice and crackers. It was gorgeous.
I think that No 2 is by no means fancy, which Oishii tries to be. It's cheap as chips and with massive portions. Probably a load of msg in there, given that it tastes so good. My wife likes to go for quality over quantity which was why I used her absence as an excuse to get a No 2.
There used to be a little Chinese on between Brockwell Park Gardens and the Tulse Hill Hotel. My argument always was that for something to look so bad, yet stay trading, the food must be really good. Unfortunately my wife didn't share my sentiments and we never went before it shut up shop.

Yep that's pretty much why we like it. No nonsense, greasy chinese innit. Perfect for a lazy night in front of the tellybox. We used to get take away from hungs on Railton Rd but much prefer number 2.
It is nice to have something a bit more special from time to time tho so we are always on the hunt for other places.

Mr Oula did one if the great cook things last week - he cooked about 50 portions of fish and chorizo stew for everyone to take home. I think someone involved with Open works is from Lambeth Council so presumably some funding coming from there. Mr Oula is also involved in doing a "box shop" of stuff from local makers in L'Arche at the feast this sunday and then it might be open some evenings afterwards. It seems like they are tryin to make that place open a bit more and more inviting. Portico gallery are also having regular film nights and asking for people to get involved with programming for after Xmas.
Those are just a few of the things I know about going on in West Norwood.

There are two next to each other. The sit down place Jade Garden (which does takeaway) does great food, i go there a lot. The one next to it is not so great but I have only tried it once though.
Nether are as good as the Number 2 though.

I went to West Norwood swim pool to family swim at the weekend - wasn't bad. Wrote a blog post: http://littlelambeth.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/taking-baby-for-swim-part-6-west.html
Where does it lead to? We usually walk up past the station and turn right there. Is there an easier way to get in?

It leads to Canterbury Grove. If you're coming from that side of WN, then it makes it slightly easier - before you had to go through the estate, adding an entire two minutes to your journey - but if you're coming from the high street then you're better off going through the main entrance.
They've added some wooden fencing along one side of the path, so the people underneath's gardens aren't overlooked by folk walking along the path.. 2 months' wait, all for a bit of fencing which took them a day to erect.
