Uncle Lim's Kitchen

I enjoyed going to Uncle Kim’s Kitchen. Food is delicious. Never disappoint. This is my normal meeting place with my friends. Most of my friends like to eat malaysian food.

The food is delicious. We stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed our meal. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this Malaysian restaurant if you are in the area and looking for a great dining experience.

This restaurant in South Croydon is a hidden gem. I went with my wife and son and we enjoyed dishes like laksa, rendang beef, nasi goreng, and rice, washed down with Malaysian milk tea. The street food here is authentic and reasonably priced. Overall, a wonderful experience and definitely worth returning to. View menu

Pros: Cheap Lots of food Comes with a drink Good service Food on demand (since 2020, before the food was pre-made like in a school cafeteria/ canteen) Cons: Food takes a while to be made (since 2020 and the ban on seating at a restaurant) Too much food per portion Food quality has declined since 2020 due to lockdowns and ban on restaurant seating No where to sit because the seating area is shut No toilets so you have to use the shopping centre toilets on the 2rd floor The location of the restaurant isn’t easy to notice if you’ve never been there before (it’s on floor 1 of the shopping centre)

I Visited this lovely place when they were doing takeaways , just after lockdown, and i really hoped this restauraunt wasnt going to close , when the resturaunts opened up again, i took two old friends there as I missed my Laksa so much. I went there the first thing i could when the restauraunts opened . My Brother firstly introduced me to Laksa soup ,and I always have the prawn less spicy one , but its the most delicious soup ive ever tasted, and im hooked ! In Uncle Lims Kitchen which has mostly Malaysian diners, the food is absolutley delicious , and its out of the way on the top of the whitgift centre. The best Laksa soup ive ever had , I thouroughly reccomend this lovely out of the way...

Uncle Lima is a quite and quaint place that is just starting out. The menu is very limited at present but the owner and chef is going to expand once he can. The food we had was the nasi lemak and chicken noodle soup. I have to say these dishes were definitely homely, fresh and piping hot. The soup had a lovely broth albeit a little salty but I like salt so I didn't complain. The nasi lemak we asked for it to have no prawns and an extra egg, which they were happy to cater for. The nasi lemak was flavoursome and once again homely. It was a little samey after a while and could have done with a sauce. Maybe a peanut sauce to change it up a little. I do highly recommend this place as authentic an... View menu

Visited my son in South Croydon and decided to try out this Malaysian restaurant for a pre-Chinese New Year lunch with a friend. What a pleasant surprise! The food was absolutely delicious, reminiscent of the flavors of Penang. It was the best Malaysian food we've ever had - perfectly seasoned, fresh, and flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered, including spring rolls, chicken satay, prawns and French beans in sambal sauce, red dates and fried tofu with sauce, and Fried Singapore Noodles with chicken. To drink, we had tea Tarik and Tiger beer, and for dessert, bubur cha cha. The quality and taste of the food definitely justified the price. I am quite particular about my food,...

My first bowl of Laksa was at Katong Laksa, I have been addicted ever since even though it can be too spicy at some times to be tolerated. If Laksa is on the menu, it has to be ordered. Since then I have been compiling a singamalay series on my blog and openrice but after a few, you get to know what a good one is from the presentation and taste. I got a fair share of Singaporean and Malaysian Laksa in Hong Kong even though some places may have closed for good and new ones have popped up but in the UK I have not tried many. Before I go, I usually check their menu and photos to see if its the real deal. The laksa at Uncle Lim's looked the part with thin rice vermicelli, tofu puffs in a strong...

I was with my Malay wife in Croydon to visit the UK govt visa/residency offices. Afterwards we strolled about to look for somewhere to have lunch and were really surprised to find this place in the Whitgift Centre. It 's laid out like a genuine Malay/Singapore food court/coffee-shop. A counter area and then tables and chairs in front. I had a fried chicken kuay teow and my wife fried prawn mee siam. She also had a freshly made hot lemongrass drink which was nice a refreshing. All very authentic indeed and good amounts of chicken, prawns, tofu and so on so filling. They weren 't serving from pre-cooked tureens at the counter but instead cooking to order. So the counter looks pretty bare. Also... View menu
