The best restaurants in Waddon Croydon London

I was looking for An Nam restaurant and sadly couldn't find it and ended up here. The food is way too expensive. The drink is also too expensive. 5.50 for a small bottle of beer, 20 for prawn and ginger dish. I paid 45 for bbq ribs, "sizzling" ginger and prawn (which had no sizzle at all), egg fried rice and a small bottle of beer. The service was fast but I also felt rushed and I had the bill land without even asking me if I wanted another drink. The restaurant was also empty at peak time and that should tell you something. Way too many staff standing around staring at you which makes you feel uncomfortable. So recommendation time. If you want dimsum, find a Chinese takeaway, but if you want a good 3 course meal, on my third night I went to the London Croydon Aerodrome Hotel (which is around the corner from where I'm staying) and I ordered 3 course and 2 actual pints of beer for £34 so costing less, more food and equally amazing service. ** I have no affiliation to the London Aerodrome Hotel. I'm in Croydon for 1 week on business and not even staying there because I found somewhere cheaper, but they'll serve you regardless.

Huge portions and reasonable price

I went there and bought some bakery,It was over oily and expensive.Anyway i sat their chair and when i was eating food my family suddenly staff came and said to us;if wanna sit need to pay %20 percent VAT!As they put very small sigh there.And they tried blame customers.Small sign and they put far from tables!I recommend no body go buy there.Oily food and no respect.If people not respect nothing buy from their shop.

Good place to stop for breakfast when your car's in for service

We went to the purley way restaurant for our sons birthday (6 of us) once we got seated we had to wait over 30 minutes before i had to ask someone if we could place our food and drinks order. eventually our waitress came by and took our order, then after another 30 minutes or more i had to ask if we was going to get our drinks any time soon , once again it seemed like forever for our drinks to finally turn up (flat) by this time we’d already been in the restaurant over an hour and each time we had any service i had to get up and seek it out myself. it seemed to me that every time I got someone’s attention they just deferred it on to someone else and then forgot about it i know it was a Saturday evening and would expect it to be a busy time to visit but when we arrived the restaurant was less than half full. The food was ok the portions were small i had a burger and chips and there was barely a handful of chips on the plate and the burger was a tiny misshaped piece of meat ( it did taste ok though i will say that ) To summarise our visit we felt that the restaurant was poorly organised , poorly managed, the food portions were small and a bit over priced but the food did taste nice All in all we wont be rushing back any time soon In retrospect we probably should have gone to the harvester where we know we have always had a great dining experience

The food is affordable and yummy! No complaints

KFC used to be the best chicken in town but this restaurant is average. Food is average and service OK. There are better chicken shops put there now.

Nice management, nice atmosphere, good music and nice vibes

Highly recommended will definitely order again

Staff i order food and toilets were locked and I ask lady on the counter she said will open for me but she walked to back side she didn't come back at front counter zero respect

Fantastic flavour and choice. Will happily orders again

Appalling experience, took my son for his birthday, left waiting at the entrance for 10 mins whilst staff just ignored us, eventually got seated given menus after 20 mins and watching other people get up and leave , after asking several times for drinks , we eventually got them after 30 mins of waiting - our food then arrived, the mains arrived at the same time as the mains, staff were like slugs apart from one who was darting around trying to appease the increasing moaning of customers - tables left uncleaned - it looks in dire need of an upgrade, the service was crap, the food was edible . Just . Please people don’t bother !

I have been going there for 30 years a least 4 times a year. Food authentic and staff recognise us . The set up is sparse but the food makes up for it . Flavours have remained the same and portions good size.

Another victim of their parking scam company. If you park here you could well get a fine for something that you can’t possibly imagine! Please DO NOT pay them, they will have to use the court to recover money from you, which they won’t do. Wing Yip will ignore your pleas for help - even though they are able to get tickets overturned (after all, they are the land owners).

The man working on the top floor (on Saturday 25th) was so efficient and friendly. He made sure everything was clean and advised us kindly on how to use the machines. What an amazing asset - we didn’t expect that level of service!
