E8 Kitchen - (Near Hackney, South East)

Emily Carlson We went for the soft launch, and everything was delicious! We really liked the interiors and how they had done up the railway arch. It all felt very HK, reminded me a lot of places like Ho Lee Fook but minimalist. The wontons and prawn toast were my favourites. The drinks also looked interesting, so would come back for cocktails! The staff were definitely the highlight though - everyone was so friendly and helpful and it made the whole night feel extra lovely.

Jess X Goh It was recommended to me by a local who Im house-sitting in Deptford and fell in love with this place and visited 4 times in 1 week so far! Absolutely loved the vegan dishes as Im vegan and heres what I tried so far...morning glory, stir fried beans in chilli and garlic, vegan pho, green papaya tofu salad, mango sago taro coconut milk drink, tropical juice drink and my all time favourite Bánh Cuốn Nhân Chay which is steamed fermented rice rolls with mushrooms. Servings are generous and meals are super tasty and fresh. Ann has been an amazing waitress, lovely personality, friendly, hard working and efficient. The staff are helpful and accommodating and the ambience is lively, busy and colourful. Will definitely come back again as I need to try their vegan spring rolls, rice paper rolls and salad bowls however I might just be tempted to stick to the stir fry beans and fermented rice rolls.

Sarah H My son and I visited this lovely cafe to kill sometime before picking up his exam results. My son had hot chocolate and butter croissants, and I had a mocha and Croque Madam, which was delicious. The staff were friendly, and the service was good with reasonably priced food. It had a lovely ambience and is an ideal place for those who want to get some work done or just have a lovely meal.

Hijjy Alaz We had dinner for 4, was absolutely delicious, prawns were crispy and juicy, sweet potatoe mash was very creamy, loved it. Everyone loved their dish, thanks guys

Sindhu Pavuluri What a gem! We had a craving for tamales and found this place. Ernesto welcomed us in and he was incredibly passionate about sharing authentic Colombian food and not altering it to suit local tastes. The food was absolutely brilliant. We had the vegetarian and fish tamales. The fish was nice and Smoky. There were limited vegetarian options but they were delicious. For dessert we had the plantain fritters with guava paste and cheese. These were to die for. It’s all set up in a bus and the vibe was cozy. Highly recommend.

Valeria Lechner Went for our anniversary dinner. Food was amazing. The staff made us feel so welcome and advised us extremely well on what to order. Special shoutout to Stan and Adam! The octopus was one of the best bites of food I have had in London
