Chopstix - Walthamstow

You'll find Chopstix tucked into 17&Central, which means you can grab a decent meal without having to venture far from the bus stop or your shopping bags. It's the kind of place where regulars know what they want before they sit down—the sort of reliable neighbourhood Chinese that's been doing its thing without needing to reinvent itself every five minutes. The food's honest and filling, whether you're after chow mein, fried rice, or something with a bit more sauce, and at these prices you're not going to feel like you've been done over. It's busy enough that you know they're doing something right, quiet enough that you can actually talk to your mates.
