My only guess is the CCP are trying to poison you because I cannot see how food could be cooked this bad.I'll be swinging by for my refund soon. Be ready.

Ware do I start?Chips rawSweet and sour was pure vinager.Veg rice mising the veg.Stir Fried veg was veg from a tin.Chill beef had no spice was slimy and the sauce was almost vinegar. (Just like the sweet and sour)All food was cold the free prawn crackers we even horrid.I phoned to complain and get told no that's what you get if order from Uber and they hung up on me. I returned the food to the restaurant

This is what £43 worth of food gets you at this restaurant. Ordered crab claw and got some mixed rice; the king prawn stir fry was swimming in an insipid, gloopy sauce that tasted like dishwater and the edamame came already shelled, overcooked and wrinkly with brown bits. The dumplings were the only thing actually edible. We ordered due to working late and not having time to cook - this has just left us more stressed and still hungry after paying above the odds. Incidentally, don't expect Deliveroo to help in these situations. After telling us they couldn't do anything about issues of 'personal taste' they disconnected the chat.

For all of the several times I've been to Eat La!, I've always had a positive experience. I prefer to support the small mom and pop hole in the wall establishments because the food and service is usually very good and they are humble enough to listen to the community for improvement. The present owner took over almost two years ago when the place was left in negligible hands. Since then they have worked hard to improve the overall establishment and listen what customers want and don't want. Since then, I've ordered duck with ginger and spring onions in oyster sauce with a side of steamed rice and every time they make it better and better. I've also had bok choy in garlic sauce which was lovely and recently they let me have on the house these delectable type of crisps made of rice and something else as well as some Malaysian chicken curry dish that reminded me of my mother's Puerto Rico "Pollo (Chicken) Guisado; not my favorite but still very good with a side of rice or potatoes. They have some asian food stuff items for sale as well inside. They cook Chinese, Malaysian, Thai and Japanese. If there is something you'd like you don't see on the menu or prefer something cooked a certain way, just kindly ask and they are very good at doing their best to make their customers happy. I honestly don't understand all of the negative reviews. This place deserves a lot more credit than it gets and I hope the community will give them a chance to improve their reputation. In the end, if you order a dish and are dissatisfied, simply inform them and why and I'm sure they'll do their best to make it right for you and not make the same mistake in the future. They know me as Alex; a friendly neighbor and customer.

I should have read the reviews before I ordered 🤦🏻‍♂️ Hot and sour soup was awful, tasted and thrown straight out. The prawn dim sum were very average and the prawn chow mein was disgusting. Really would not ever go back here. I expected much more for my money

Absolutely disgusting. Ordered through Deliveroo who were hopeless, their driver was so rude & clearly couldn’t speak English. BUT the food was, well I’m actually speechless. The beef Rendang was just some sort of meat (not really sure what was) swimming in oil, no potatoes as described. Called the manager & he told me he would change the menu!!!! I suggested he changed the chef. He then told me to contact Deliveroo for a refund, but guess what YOU CAN’T. Whole experience was shambolic & expensive. I’m livid!!

Just ordered take out because it was close and it was open. Big mistake. Worst food ever. Some dishes unrecognisable from what they are supposed to be. Who deep fries a quarter duck for crispy aromatic duck?! - oh right they do. Horrible inedible. I ordered Char siu because my son loves it but it was disgusting. Rancid sliced meat in some disgusting gloopy sauce. Malaysian food is on the menu I don't know why they can't cook it. Feel hungry? Save your money. Worst case scenario a pot noodle would be better. I don't understand how this place stays open..

·

I ordered the green curry immediately wished I hadn’t. It appears they dropped an entire vat of salt into it rendering it utterly inedible.The rice was cold and a little undercooked.We’ve ordered from here before, but this was by far and away the worst meal we’ve had from them. We won’t be ordering from these guys again. Avoid.

·

Would absolutely NOT order from here again, very poor quality food, picked the meat out of my Singapore noodles as it tasted so bad. Satay sauce the worst I’ve ever tasted.Should definitely have read other people’s reviews before ordering. If I don’t get food poisoning I’ll be stunned.

Ordered food late last night via Just Eat. It arrived in no time at all, everything we ordered piping hot and surpassed our expectations. Super-high quality food. Don't understand why it has such bad reviews which is why I am sharing the great experience we have had with Eat La! Definitely using again.
