in the over-hyped food wasteland that is the chain-dominated Wimbledon Village, it's nice to see an…read moreindependent restaurant. Bayee Village has been producing reliable, tasty Chinese food in Wimbledon for decades and there is a sister restaurant in Putney. The decor is great, from the 2 stone lions guarding the entrance to the large fish tank and Chinese lanterns inside. You are also always assured of a warm welcome and better service than in many Chinatown restaurants. The food is a mixture of Peking (north) and Szechuan (southwest) cuisine. The house speciality is seafood and if your budget can stretch, you won't be disappointed with the lobster and spring onion on a bed of crispy noodles, steamed whole sea bass with ginger and spring onion, kung po king prawns with sweet chilli sauce and garlic and soft shell crab with fresh chilli pepper and garlic salt. The other non seafood dishes are also good. A good solid local Chinese restaurant.

Bayee's served me the best Chinese food I have ever had. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food but…read morethis wasn't the typical greasy food I had come to expect of Chinese food. It was fresh, full of flavours and it even felt as though i was eating healthy food! I had a gorgeous aubergine dish that was gorgeous and their crispy duck was really tasty as well as their cashew nut dishes. We had some really nice wine here as well. The decor is quite strange, with a classic piano and aquarium in the restaurant but i guess it gave us something to look at while we waited...and we were waiting for quite a while...maybe this is a good sign as it made me think everything was being cooked freshly from scratch, otherwise they were just being really slow. The service of the waiters was a little on the slow side but luckily we weren't in a rush. The prices were all pretty reasonable as well. I will return if i'm in the area.

I can't believe I've not reviewed this before, as I'm regular here…read more This is a fairly large restaurant for the area, with a slightly twee waterwheel at the entrance. Don't be put off though, because inside it's a proper old fashioned restaurant with white napkins and tablecloths. They don't do dim sum any more, but have a familiar Chinese menu with Szechuan specialities, including some of the more challenging spicy offal dishes. But there are plenty of familiar favourites for the less adventurous. It's frequented by local Chinese families, which is always a good sign. Staff are friendly and efficient. Expect two courses with coffee and wine to be about £25-30 a head.

My sister and I are regulars at Confucius for dim sum at lunchtime every Sunday after church. It's…read morea pleasant walk from Wimbledon Broadway, located at the very end just before the road curves round to South Wimbledon station. The dim sum menu has only restarted in the last year and a half when they got in a new chef. The service is always prompt and courteous. Kids will be fascinated by the large fish tank and water wheel feature. The preponderence of Chinese clientele tells its own story - we are very fussy when it comes to food. The food is of good quality, quantity and ingredients - large prawns in har gau and cheong fun, crispy pastry for the char siew sow and lovely roasted meats. The food isn't greasy, a common problem for lower quality dim sum places. The pastry skins are all thin for the steamed dishes and crispy for the fried dishes. They lose a star for a slightly small menu with some old favourites missing like siu loong bow and shark fin dumpling. Also, they used to serve suckling pig and it's still on the menu but no longer available. They also do an evening menu but I can't really comment on that. It's a great place for dim sum and what they do have on the menu is first class.

Speaking as…read morean American (Chinese) tourist, the prices seemed more than reasonable for the amount of food you get. Had takeout (or takeaway as they call it here), it was all tasty and not westernized (normally would have said Americanized, but I don't know if they do it in the UK like they do in the US). Looks like a small, family run place, with an older teen running the front, parents in the back, which are often the best.

However, the warm welcome of the staff lifted all doubt the moment we walked in The menu is largely Chinese with a Thai section in the back. This is a growing trend I've noticed in Chinese restaurants recently The starter of deep fried soft shell crab was nice and crispy with sweet crabmeat but the coating was a little salty I enjoyed the roast duck in plum sauce, being used to the slightly fatty duck. The sizzling mixed seafood in black bean sauce had generous portions of large prawns, scallops, mussels and squid. The pad thai noodles were OK but not as good as in standalone Thai restaurants An enjoyable meal with good service

I think this may the best name for a restaurant ever! Slurp - what an evocative word to get the…read moretaste buds going!! Slurp describes itself as a Chinese/Japanese restaurant and it's located at the end of Wimbledon Broadway. It does a broad range of oriental dishes - perhaps the best way to visualise the menu is to imagine Wagamama combined with Busaba Eathai with a few more Asian countries represented as well. I would say their emphasis would be on noodles with some bento boxes and rice dishes as well. I've tried their seafood ho fun (broad rice stick noodles) which was nice if a bit pricey at over £7. There was a nice selection of fresh juices. If you like the Wagamama or Busaba concept and atmosphere, you'll like Slurp. Sluuuuurp - sorry, the name just brings a smile to my face :-)

After a long time not going here we returned on the spur of the moment. Not coming here was not a…read moreconscious decision, just there was other fish to fry. So after a hard week [again] and a well deserved earlier finish returning to Slurp was supposed to be comforting. And it was, the same old service with a smile, not too busy early in the evening and a nice Slurp juice of various fruits obliterated to a more-ish liquid nature. But previously grubby benches and low light nature of the place had been replaced by a brighter, more IKEA in nature atmosphere; not so comforting. And although the Ebi Katsu (how could you do these wrong anyway?) was still there, the previously tasty and by no means healthy MSG riddled well spiced offerings had been replaced by a bland, water offerings (the House Special rice and Prawn Black bean equally disappointed). Such a shame, and my regularly burnt tongue that I still got from the pipping hot food was no longer offset by the naughty but nice food. Yup - Slurp Juice, Green Tea, Ebi Katsu Nah - House Special rice, Prawn Black Bean
