I got a takeaway from here one Sunday evening with family.I decided to go for the Singapore Rice Noodles (£14.20) which consisted of mixed meats containing shrimps, chicken, and cha siu pork along with various vegetables.It was a nice, big portion due to the size of the takeaway box, so I couldn't complain about that part of my order. There was a good enough amount of mixed meat and veg in the dish also.I just found it to be a bit dry, so I added some soy sauce more than once in order to keep the dish moist.But yeah, just another average Chinese takeaway, in my opinion...which was overpriced considering it was just noodles with a bit of meat and veg, hence the 3 stars. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.The food arrived in good time, but I'm not fussed about ordering from there again, to be honest.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available on the menú.Parking: Ordered a takeaway, so I have no idea what's in the area.Kid-friendliness: It's a takeaway, so no in-house eating.Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure.

Good Earth was one of the best Chinese takeouts, unfortunately over the years they have declined in their quality of foodWe had a delivery last night, such a disappointing experience and so expensiveSo disappointedWill not be ordering thru them again. So sorry that they have declined

Food was awful, bland does not even come close. For the price of it, which is expensive it was disgusting. They have woks on stoves yet my egg fried rice was pulled out of the microwave. I will never buy food from there again. Very disappointing for the expensive prices. The worst Chinese food I have ever tasted.

The food is terrible. Called in and ordered minimum chicken with more vegetables and black bean sauce with boiled rice. Took it home loads of chicken and very little vegetables no sauce, apart from large chunks of broccoli. Rice came as solid lump. Phoned up and complained - Good Earth sent out replacement meal, although contained some sauce mainly consisted of chicken and again with large lumps of broccoli no other vegetables. Complained again by phone then rudely cut off! Put meal into the slops bin. I will never will go to this establishment again - keep away - no wonder the reviews are dreadful.

Used to be expensive and now downright extortionate. Portions are generous but the food is boring and unappealing. The menu hasn’t changed in ten years but the prices keep going up. The fillet steak in fruity sauce is one of the worst things I have ever ordered.

Hands down the best Chinese takeaway in London. Extremely clean, high quality, never greasy and tasty Chinese food.Highly recommend the vegetarian chicken dish (tastes better than real chicken).They have increased their prices by almost 50-60% over the last few years (average £14-15 for a dish), so certainly is a “luxury” takeaway.

Used to be expensive but fantastic quality. Now it's still very expensive but very poor quality. Food often ready almost immediately and not very fresh and really no better than any local, much cheaper alternative. The waiting area is tatty and the groups of deliveroo drivers and staff hanging around outside smoking isn't particularly appealing either. Really don't bother.

wherever you go in London you'll get better takeaway. avoid if your can. no point spending more time on reviewing...
There really isn't any atmosphere to speak of, as it's basically a kitchen with a waiting room. The food portions are generously sized and therefore the price is good. I have liked most of what I've had from The Good Earth. Note: I don't use a delivery service. My experience only reflects ordering and taking away.

We ordered over £80 worth of food and felt that it was very poor value. The food was lukewarm on delivery and lacking in flavour. The Singapore noodles were dry and tasteless. The helpings were small and overall the meals were disappointing and poor value for money.

Nasty food. Will not come here again. Food does not look like what you would expect. It also tastes nasty. They have no chili oil.Just a nasty restaurant experience. I give this 0 stars.

Ordered a Singapore Fried Noodles (£8.70) - Portion size was okay but the food was incredibly bland. This dish is well known for being spicy, even the menu denotes it as being spicy by having a chilli next to it! I can assure you, there was not a single note of spice or even a green or red chilli in sight. Also there was hardly any meat, in particular the Char Siu (Pork) of which there were maybe 2 or 3 tiny pieces.Considering the price tag they could at least have made an every day simple dish the way it should be. Thoroughly disappointed.

Prices AGAIN increased.Good Earth was never cheap, but now it starts to become ridiculous. They increased prices recently and now again. We like the food and we collect so no issue with delivery times.But in the 5 years or so we go there prices increased by 40 to 70%. E.gSoup, 3,90 to 5,90PDuck 36 to 51P(Vs 17% inflation since 2015)Last night is was VERY calm.Maybe long delivery times will not be a big issue in the future anymore.Anybody with a good alternative?
