Rice Republic in Lambeth

Really good food - so much better than the average Chinese. The dumplings are amazing

We ordered the crispy fried shredded beef with egg fried rice. Sadly it wasn’t as crispy as we’ve had it at other places. With the sauce it even got a bit soggy.

It's just above average, dim sum we're good but only got 2 very small ones for £4. Got 2 mains, crispy beef and szechuan chicken, both were pretty standard Chinese takeaway vibe, nothing special. Portion of rice was £5! Service was quick but rude.

I have dined here a 2 or 3 times over the last 2 years or so. It looks like they are trying very hard to give a "fine dining" experience, however a few things are still (very)off . Last night a few items arrived cold- a starter and one of the mains (Hong Kong sweet & sour chicken).Chicken was cold but the sauce was puzzingly hot. Also- my glass of house red wine was served chilled. Anyone working in fine dining at any position should be aware that red is never served chilled- but in room temperature! That was the first time I have ever been served chilled red wine in my whole life. Regarding the menu- very few vegetarian options- only 2 in mains, same for dim -sum- only one veggie option. My conclusion is - the restaurant is not worth the price (it's rather pricey for what it really is). It looks like fine dining in terms of decor and tableware, but in terms of service and food it's certainly is not (yet), by a far.

A Chinese restaurant making their own in-house dim sum. A rarity outside of Chinatown, and they are getting bonus points for that. The dumplings are the star of the menu but it's all good. Nice casual dining in experience and very friendly staff.

We called by Saturday evening for dinner, the lady who served us was very welcoming, the atmosphere very intimate and cosy. The food was great, everything tasted fresh, and even as a vegetarian there are plenty of options on the menu. Definitely a new favourite for us :)

Surprisingly good. It's on a horrible part of Streatham high street meaning you might just never notice it but it's well worth a visit. I only tried the duck and pancakes and a few dim sum but it was all excellent.The duck was crisp and not horribly greasy like you get at a lot of other places.I'd say this is easily the best Chinese restaurant in and around the local area.

Very nice restaurant. Great decor. Good food. I was really amazed by the selection of the dim sum. A bit pricey. I was gutted that they don't have food and not usually serving noodles. Tiny menu

DELICIOUS! the ginger chicken Sui mai was amazing and the quality of everything was great. Also the broccoli!!! Price was VERY reasonable for good quality dim sum - ate SO MUCH and had a beer and came to under £20 a head. What a local gem to have on the highroad - we will be back! (only thing I could even begin to fault is it would be good to offer a half duck as well as quarter)

This is a tough one. All the reviews scream 5 stars but this Chinese restaurant is not quite there yet. The siu Mai (in the wooden basket) were absolutely delicious, a mix of pork, crab and chicken "dumplings", each one very different and unique in taste. However the beef in pepper sauce was definitely too sweet and the duck sauce nothing more than ok. A bit of stomachache both of us but I guess it's the kind of sodium used in the Chinese food. Service impeccable. Good value for money. £30 for a platter and 2 mains. I'd go again definitely. The Chinese lady absolutely lovely. Let's see if they'll win the 5th star next time ;-)
