Cheap and cheerful Asian Fusion in Wandsworth Southside's food court. They have several vegetarian and vegan options and portion sizes are huge, so well worth the money. Food comes out super-quickly, so this is the perfect place for a quick meal before a movie. Highly recommend the tofu rice noodle soup.
The Malaysian style food is excellent. Especially the Penang Laksa! The thai food on the menu isn't the best. The staff are friendly and the food arrives quickly. Not a first date venue as the atmosphere is not intimate.
Considering the price level, very decent food and somewhat authentic Asian cuisine.
Ekachai is a fusion Asian restaurant located in Southside shopping centre - it's a great option if you're just about to go for a movie as it's filling and reasonable value!
The service is a little slap dash and the tables are a bit thrown hastily together but the food is of better quality than first seems. Almost everything we tried was close to being authentic, allowing for the fact that we're in South London and not actually asia!

Heading to watch the new release on the Big Screen at Cineworld Wandsworth? Why not tuck into a delicious pork belly main at Ekachai before you do? It's affordable and yum! Read the full review at :

If your going to the mall at Wandsworth like we do, why don’t you tuck in at Ekachai before the show? It’s a great Asian food place. My hubby and me love eating there, our favourite dish on the menu is this street style pork and rice dish. Believe me when I say this, one bite into the pork and you are hooked forever!
This dish is described on their menu as ”Khao Moo Dang – Thai hawker stall favourite of rice topped with Chinese BBQ pork and BBQ sauce served with a boiled egg, cucumber,topped with spring onions and coriander” – what an absolutely heavenly combination. The pork is extremely well cooked and portion size is generous so we go early, get our movie tickets done first and then sit and enjoy this meal, savour each bite you take of the succulent pork smothered in BBQ sauce as it engulfs your tongue in an exotic wrap of flavour ummm,just the right balance of flavours married together.
Wash it down with a Tiger Beer if you will or go for the Red or Green detox juices without sugar, they are so,so good !
Great 'fast food' And so much more flavour than other places around...... And very generous portions...... excellent
First visit to Ekachai and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was a nice size and open plan kitchen which wasn't too noisy. The biggest surprise was the price of the main meals they were very reasonable and on average under £15 each. There was a good selection of beers and they had my personal favourite Tsing Tao and processco for the Mrs.
I ordered the duck and crispy pork rice. The pork was very nice as was the sauce but sadly the duck was on a bone (chopped) which left little meat. Next time I would ask for deboned or shredded duck if available.
Great atmosphere and relatively quick service. Staff all very nice and would revisit. Great choices on the menu.
Such a hidden gem! 💎
Food is fabulous SEA cuisine, large portions, fast service, aunties are so kind.
You won't find more authentic flavours in the area.
Laksa is large and delicious !
Love the morning glory veg
Char kway teow ...drool
I love it all! Brings me back to Asia.
Have been here many times! Doesn't disappoint.
Wayyy better than wagamama!!!
Atmosphere is a bit meh but...that also reminds me of Asia 😅.
I always come for a quick and delicious meal.

Amazing food and quickest food serving. No matter how busy they get, good is usually on the table 5-10 mins after ordering. Their chicken is Halal.
I've been going here for years and their food quality has stayed the same. Highly recommended!
I was in the area and decided to visit this place. It has always been on my radar and this is the closest of three branches.
Previous reviews naturally set my expectations high. Ekachai is an enchanting experience - right from the friendly service to the nasal nourishing food. The portions are very impressive which is great! Definitely recommend the food in pics. The pad thai seems a hot favourite. The star of the meal was the Thai coffee lon. A nostalgic taste if you had home made coffee.
Do visit with an appetite to not waste food :)
In terms of atmosphere the place could do a revamp.
The food is very reasonably priced and makes you feel gallivanting south east Asia in all its glory.
Had an incredible time with my girls and sister. Food was cooked pretty fast and the service was very efficient. I liked the atmosphere it had a nice feel.
The chicken is halal so you can have a large sample of the menu. The price is reasonable and portion sizes are great.
Food here tasted quite authentic and quite good.
I ordered the beef rendang and the pork dumplings, both were good....
The atmosphere felt pleasant, and there were cost hangers if you needed them. I didn't feel like I was pressured to finish my food and go like you might in Chinatown (Though my experience there is outdated atm).
Sadly, they didn't tell me some of the food were unavailable until I ordered, so I had to take more time to figure out what I wanted but was still good. 😅
Came here as a 2nd choice option, I didn't know this was a chain until my friend told me!
Amazing food, lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Very nice staff and atmosphere.
Had a lovely dinner, with my girlfriend,second time eating there staff are very friendly
Food was very tasty and came steaming hot very quick service
Well worth a visit
Same company that delivers Three Uncles in South West London. Really great portions for the price ~£10 per dish. Crispy belly pork was crispy on the skin and tender on the inside whilst the char siu roasted pork was sweet and succulent. Been to lots of places for roasted meat in London and this one is a good one! Service also very friendly and fast
A great Wagamama alternative with much better prices. I have been a Wandsworth’s Ekachai client since the beginning many years ago. Love the food. My favourite is TOM YUM Soup (as you can see at the pictures) and it has fewer than 100 calories per cup!. The place is clean and welcoming. Unfortunately, the staff looks soulless acting like a robot and many times not really listening. I suppose that the training methods are milles away of big good chains in uk but it doesn’t stop keep going. Specially because I am always having the same so I just make sure everything is understood.
Also the staff seems to have an obsession for clearing plates of the table even if you are having a little break and still not finished. Even though I still recommend this place. A dinner for 2 people was £36. When I go to wagamama a dinner for 2 never goes lower than £70.
Tasty food, quick service, and good sized portions!
This restaurant stood the change of times.
After all this years this is still the best place to eat in the south side shopping centre.
As many can tell most other restaurant has closed down or changed but ekachai is still here and that deserves some respect.
Ok now back to the food I found the food still be very good and they don’t charge service charge which is a bonus.
Portions are generous and the food comes very quick.
So hopefully they will stay as long as the shopping centre is still operating.
Oh and I forgot to mentioned it’s milese better and cheaper than wagamama which became just another soulless chain restaurant.
Delicious tomyum prawn noodle soup and beef ginger dishes. Ample portions.
I finally got around to trying this place out.
The food was really good. Solid flavours and really good choices.
Drinks selection is solid too.
Staff are friendly.
Pricing was ok. There is one place nearby who give much bigger portion and the beef dish I tried was better there.
But this place is great if you don't want to go off the path and have a film to catch or see :)
My son loves to eat here when we go shopping. Elisabeth usually serves us and she is always so lovely that I thought I must write her a review. She is super efficient and always has a smile on her face!
A modern cosy southeast asian eatery serving mainly Thai, Malaysia, Singaporean and HK food. Food portion was good (big) and we enjoyed what we ordered - chicken nasi goreng, wanton char siew lo mien (with the roasted fatty char siew type) and a sichuan squid starter of sort. I won't say it is the place you go for the most authentic southeast asian food but it is a 7/10 for authenticity. Service was fast and good as well. Food didn't take long to arrive after ordering. Would definitely love to return here to try out other stuffs!
Surprisingly nice restaurant. I ordered roasted duck and pork with rice, and i felt like I was in Hong Kong. The price was reasonable and the portion was quite generous.
However, the restaurant's interior is not very welcoming. Otherwise, I would have made my first visit to this restaurant long long time ago
