I've eaten food from here three or four times and the food is consistently of a good quality. However the prices are expensive in my opinion and the portion sizes are small (i've just come back from 3 years in New York...so maybe my perspective is a little skewed!).

The service is always fast and friendly and there are a few seats while you are waiting (only take out/delivery).

The dishes I can recommend are the chicken with cashew nuts and the dry shredded beef. The crispy spring rolls are some of the least greasy I have tasted (faint praise I suppose!) Special mention for the prawn crackers which are provided in a large serving. they are very large and tasty if you like that kind of thing.I've eaten food from here three or four times and the food is consistently of a good quality.

When a mail drop offered me half price food at McDonalds, I felt it was my duty to drag the husband and somewhat more enthusiastic kids to the golden arches. It's quite a small restaurant, with extra seating upstairs, which is where we decided to sit. The tables could have been cleaner but the environment was fine, with a view over the busy road..which entertained the kids.

I have eaten at McDonalds in various countries, and you have to say that the food is remarkably homogenous. My meal of choice the Big Mac, tasted identical to all the other Big Macs I've had. That somehow rather satisfying synthetic quality always brightens my day for a few minutes. The children enjoyed their burgers, minus the gherkin. Does any under 5 kid like gherkin?

Husband ate chilken burger and despite not being a huge fan of this behemoth chain, I noticed there was no food left in his carton when we left....When a mail drop offered me half price food at McDonalds, I felt it was my duty to drag the husband and somewhat more enthusiastic kids to the golden arches.

Tags: take away, fish & chips

One early evening we visited some friends in Kew to check out their new baby. Afterwards we wanted to pick up something tasty to have for dinner and I had a hankering for fish & chips.

I knew I had seen a likely take away shop just next to Kew Gardens station, so we headed there to check it out. We discovered a cheerful looking place called the Kew Fish Bar. I really wanted some grilled fish, but alas, it wasn't on the menu, so we had to settle for standard fish & plenty of chips.

We took them home to eat and were not impressed with the quality. The batter was too thick and oily for my liking, and the chips weren't cooked quite enough.

All in all a bit disappointing, so we will go elsewhere next time. Service was friendly though, so it gets 2 starsOne early evening we visited some friends in Kew to check out their new baby. Afterwards we wanted to pick up something tasty to have for dinner and I had a hankering for fish & chips.
