148 Chinese is a compact neighbourhood restaurant at 148 Lordship Lane in East Dulwich. It serves dinner from Wednesday to Sunday and takes table bookings, while also preparing food for collection and local delivery, giving regular customers several ways to enjoy its broad Chinese menu.
The selection draws on familiar Cantonese, Sichuan and Hong Kong style dishes. Aromatic crispy duck, mixed starters, sweet and sour chicken, beef with ginger and spring onion and fillet steak with chilli and black bean sauce show the range of flavours available for a shared meal.
Rice and noodle dishes can be ordered alone or used to complete a larger spread. Seafood crispy noodles, king prawn ho fun, shredded duck chow mein and special fried rice sit alongside vegetable noodles and rice, providing meat free choices as well as seafood and roast meat options.
Set menus make group ordering straightforward by combining starters, duck, main dishes, vegetables and rice. There is also a dedicated vegetarian set built around spring rolls, vegetable gyoza, lettuce wraps, aubergine and beancurd, so mixed groups can share a substantial meal rather than relying on only side dishes.
