"This Chinese restaurant is pretty amazing. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. The staff is friendly and will chat with you. The food is served quickly and the portions are generous. The decor is very shabby, which seems to keep away new residents of the area. The restaurant is frequented by Chinese people and usually has a table of men near the door. The prices are a bit steep for Deptford, with mains around £14, starters £6, and sides £3. They offer a vegan starter for two which includes spicy aubergine chips, seaweed, tofu batons, and spring rolls. They also have a variety of aubergine dishes that are served quickly and are oil-laden. Additionally, they offer lamb dishes cooked in a sizzling trip pan or with black bean sauce, both of which are delicious. Overall, this restaurant offers high-quality, authentic Chinese food that is worth trying."

This is the only Chinese restaurant I will go to. Their hot and sour soup is the best, and their salt and chili squid is delicious.

Come here with my bf all the time. It's our fave spot for Chinese. Prices are reasonable and staff are very attentive. My fave dish is the salt and pepper squid. I've been to a lot of places where it's either too salty or not Crispy enough. This is anything but that! Seriously next time I should just get 2. The sweet and sour pork with fried rice is also very nice. Ya'll need to come here.

I live right next to this restaurant, so I frequent it often. The food is delightful, delicious, and always fresh. They offer a lunch special during the week, Monday to Saturday from 12 to 2, where you can get a large plate of noodles or rice with your choice of 3 toppings for only $4.95. The soups are delicious as well, and I highly recommend the Peking-style pork ribs. The service is friendly, making it a great place to dine with friends or family.

"Me and my flatmates went to Naifs to celebrate one of our own's MA degree with a nice meal, and we are so glad that we did. Anne and the team were incredibly personable and friendly, which really stood out to us. As somebody who has worked many years in hospitality, one can tell that there is clearly a very tight-knit team at work here who does what they do out of and with love. We really enjoyed the concluding chat with the kitchen team about the amazingly delicious olive oil they served us with the bread it comes straight from the chef's uncle's olive plantation! The atmosphere was really lovely as well, and a lot of thought clearly went into it: there were lots of candles, soft light, beautiful serving plates. We found the decor very tasteful in general: the restaurant has a cozy, but elevated bistro feel to it which makes it the perfect place for a broad variety of occasions. We had the set menu, which at 27 GBP came at very good value. The menu really demonstrated just how colorful vegan and vegetarian spreads can be: the colors on the table alone were such a delight to behold! Needless to say it also all tasted amazing. We particularly liked the mushrooms in lemony broth, the dhal and the aubergine stew. Every dish had a creative spin on it that made it into something we had never tasted in that way before. The wine that was recommended to us was very nice as well. We finished our meal with a selection of British cheeses, which was very well put together. Naifs focuses on seasonal and regional ingedrients, which is another factor that really convinced us, and which is something that more restaurants should focus on. Whether you're a veggie or not: if you want to dine at an all around truly special place, you need to try Naifs. Keep up the awesome work, guys we will be back very, very soon."

"my friend and I went to capitulate for dinner to celebrate his birthday, as was capitula, we thought the only decent restaurant in blackheath. all the others seem to be pushing down quickly. we have been in the past often in the capitulas, and the food and services were good we had no appetizers and ordered only one main meal (black foam and black bell), because we were not huge hungry because we were eating a lot of birthday cakes earlier! we had a glass of wine and were offered a piece of bread. 35 minutes later we waited for our food. in this time no one came to ask if we were in order or offer us more drinks. I asked the manager if our food was ready. he said it would be 5 minutes without a statement of delay then disappeared 10 minutes later there was no sign of food or manager. That is why we decided to go because we lost interest in eating. we have to go and the manager came by. he told us the delay was due to a big party in the ground floor. this was not the case, there was a group of 8 people who had finished their meal for a long time. we were there earlier when it was much more business and the service was not so bad. while we waited, we saw a customer who had finished their meal, slipped £20 into the manager hand when he left. Perhaps the workers need bribe to provide good services? it is such a scandal, but another blackheath restaurant has become complicit and believes that it with the treatment of its customers without respect. I will vote for one with my feet and will not eat again in this restaurant. I will also leave everyone I don't know to go there"
