Gourmet China CookB+
25 Streatham Vale, London SW16 5SE
· Chinese takeaway, Chinese restaurant
· Streatham
Consistently tasty, great-value Chinese takeaway with big portions and fast prep, but cash-only and no delivery with occasional service friction at the phone counter.
The verdict
Gourmet China Cook delivers solid neighborhood value through reliable food quality and exceptional portion generosity at low prices, supported by rapid service and strong long-term customer loyalty. However, the takeaway-only format, functional rather than appealing setting, and occasional service inconsistencies prevent a higher grade. It's a dependable local favorite for classic British-Chinese comfort food, not a destination establishment.
One caveat: Cash-only payments surprise some visitors
