    Best Bowl used to be called Paw Paw a few years ago and in its old incarnation this Oriental takeaway offered well cooked dishes in the 7-10 range for a main. It was my favourite, go-to place for a Chinese for a while but as is the nature of the fast food business it changed hands, standards slipped and I stopped calling.Strangely and unusually the prices have gone down since I last ordered and a main is now in the 4-7 range which I must admit made me deeply suspicious. Are they using cheaper ingredients? Despite this I decided to order my ‘usual’ as the menu is pretty much unchanged – crispy chilli beef, kung po duck and egg fried rice.Firstly the chilli beef wasn’t crispy but covered in a sweet and sour chilli sauce and a bit chewy and soggy. Chewy chilli beef doesn’t quite have the same ring to it! The duck was served with a much darker sauce compared to the past but thankfully it was actually duck and was also served with cashews and most importantly tasted good. If anything the duck was a bit too fatty however the kung po sauce was spicy and tasty. The rice was good. As per usual there was a bag of prawn crackers however these smelt and tasted of old oil and weren’t that nice.For the price this just about works but for me is a bit of a disappointment as I know it can be much better. Good enough sums it up.

    This is what we Just sent to this terrible place…I am absolutely disgusted with your service. Not only have we been waiting for 2 hours but I have just been laughed at on the phone by your female staff member. To finish it off our food has been returned to you and having checked the address we gave you and the phone number and it is all RIGHT. Nobody has called us and frankly it is embarrassing and thank you for ruining my Friday night with my wife. If you want to eat in this millennium then don’t order here…!,,,

    Best Bowl does what it says on the tin – a decent standard of far eastern takeaway available from the heart of Balham. Forgive my stereotyping, but often these types of takeaway all taste the same. Best Bowl offers a slightly broader, oriental range giving it a slight edge over rivals. Plus value for money is decent with healthy portions. The food is not too bad either, feels pretty fresh and isn’t too oily. My bag tends to be crispy chili beef, but have often elected for the half crispy duck from here – hoi sin is the best. londoncurryblog.com
