My Old China Chinese Restaurant Purley

A chinese restaurant that serves quality food! Their staff is very friendly! Must try their tiger prawns in salt and chilli for starters! They have got to be the best prawns I've had! I love the crispy duck too, but I once tried the mongolian lamb for the second course for a change and I have so say the home-made sauce is delicious!

Keep it up My Old China!

Wow, I went there for my friend's 21st birthday and it was great. On arriving, somebody opened the door for us, which was so welcoming. The staff there are so polite and friendly. When it came to ordering food, the staff again were so helpful and recommended the "Eat as Much as You Like" Menu that they only do from Sundays to Thurdays costing only £15 per person. The food was cooked fresh as we ordered and delicious. My favourite part was the Crispy Duck- My Old China definately does the best duck in town. The piece of duck we were given was a generous meaty piece, stripped apart by the waitress within seconds.

We had 3 courses of hot food and then found that toffee apple and some other desserts were also included in the Eat as Much as You like. I couldn't resist despite being so full so ordered a portion of toffee apple with ice cream. But when our desserts came out, we found that what we had ordered came out on a huge platter including what we already ordered plus lots more fresh fruits, presented beautifully with a crafted piece of pineapple, many balls of icecream and a candle on top. After singing "Happy Birthday" to the birthday girl (all the staff joined in), the manageress sent her birthday wishes to my friend and then explained the huge platter was "on the house"! I think its a complimentary offer for all birthday bookings.

We were very impressed with everything that night and before we left we were even given a free round of drinks.

I really recommend this restaurant, especially for bigger parties as the atmosphere is just great.
