"All Allergens Alert, ALL of them are here. Sustain businesses and keep safe. Whole peanuts are next to the chili oil. Where- take a left from Elephant and Castle tube, past the empanada emporium and another foodie kiosk, down the left side iron stairs and...go in at the French doors on your right. Pay cash upfront at the till, as at October it is evening buffet, lunch very slightly less. There is plenty of leg room for tall diners, widely spaced large round tables can seat six, there are seater tables and date night people tables. Anyone who is anyone eats here, from hi-vis jacketed squads to families with toddlers, suited and booted, the vast student demographic. Pushchairs will be a struggle, papooses perfect because of the stairs. Or bring a whole doting Team Baby to help. I like the lighting in this basement which is even, bright and warmed by the deep apricot painted walls. There is no draught from the air con. When there is music it is low level mellow oriental pop in the Enrique Iglesias style or re-purposed oriental folk, possibly. Signature dish is a no holds barred slabs of chunky beef shin curry It tastes of complex spices, sometimes you will see and scoop up by mistake a finger sized woody curl of cassia bark or a whole chunk of ginger. Try a little of the sauce before you commit meat to your plate, my view is that if you adore star anise and cinnamon in mains courses it will suit your palate. It may be the chef's own spice blend, as it does not totally resemble chinese five-spice or massaman malay curry. I like going with an Afro or Pinoy kare kare vibe by having this topped with the crunchy PEANUT satay sauce and Shito-like grainy chili oil. There are sweet potato fritters on offer next to the fat chips. Whether you like melty soft meat or a tussle with bouncy meat, you can check and choose by a gentle prod with the serving spoon as both types are often in the same serving dish. You can also break off small chunks, to give you eating space for the other dishes. You still get to eat beef on black bean, always. The Duck currently, the skin on bone in duck looks like a gentle roast crossed with a slight braise. It lets the flavour come through, with mild seasoning. Decadence is choosing an unmeaty piece and placing just the skin on your chinese pancake before rolling up. There is also also pulled duck for the pancakes in the evening. Duck two ways for under a tenner, guys. Chicken deep fried in mild dredged flour, stir fried, in jammy sweet and sour, sometimes with black bean . Mackerel on-the bone cuts, is quite chili-hot, beware what looks like spring onion may be green chili. Prawns are deep fried po-boy style with a puffy succulent batter. The evening gives you prawns two ways, adding headless but shell-on saltnpepper prawns. The special fried rice is my personal simple favourite, something to hoover down knowing that there is duck, chicken EGG and char shiu pork with plump peas . Easygoing vegetarians can have a goodish time, mushrooms and the rustic haloumi-like stolid tofu are treated like honorary meats, flavourful. I'm with the former President Bush regarding broccoli. Currently, there is a one raw veg at-a-time policy, if you discount the daily julienne of cucumbers and spring onions. One day I saw quartered tomatoes, another day I saw finely grated fresh carrot. If you take all three and the two or three different mixed stir fried vegetables, that is a respectable choice.You can go PEANUT satay, sweet and sour, curry or even ketchup and mayo with your plate. You style it. There is fresh apple and orange for dessert, with jewel-like dazzling little stripey gelatine jelly definitely not vegan agar agar). Just one piece of chilled SESAME brittle cased apple is enough of a sugar hit for me to end all my splendid times here."

I used to love buffets . . no more. I love Asian food, but this was truly not nice. It did not resemble anything that I have come to associate with Asian food. Yes, it is a cheap buffet, but you are better off buying...a sandwich at the local

This is a no frills restaurant that serves food quick and large potions. Every meal I have had from here has to top knotch . This is great for lunch so much better than the fast food places. Don't except a candle lit dinner. This...is all about the food and none about the style.
Bradley
Decent selection of food to be found here, which tastes pretty good. You can fill a takeaway box or have all you can eat. Drink selection isn't great, but they give you free water, which you will likely need! Be advised this is a cash...only restaurant; they no longer take card payments due to fraud issues.

My sister and I had the buffet that was down on the lower level. It was delicious, we’re in visiting from the states and wanted something different so we decided to try here. The outside was a little offsetting but once inside it’s just fine....The price is great and the ladies that helped us were amazing! I would recommend going! Ver carta

Warning, if you want tasty food please do not go to this place. Far too pricey, for can drink and although the portion sizes were big. I looked terrible and tasted awful, I asked to speak with the manager I was rudely told...there is no manager and didn’t cooperate with me until I told them I’ll make a review regarding there poor service. Will NEVER go back there again.
Alfie
The food here was disgusting, I ordered roast porks, Duck and noddles with bbq sauce. I’ve never tasted bbq sauce like it before it was so gross. The duck was also disgusting When I told the working it wasn’t nice she ignored me. This has...to be the worse Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to and the workers are rude and does not care about the customers. I would not come back to this place even if I was paid!!

Despite its inauspicious surroundings this noodle bar remains one of the better eateries in the area. The food is nothing special but is consistently satisfactory. The menu is substantial enough and is favourably priced for the area. It is counter service and your dish arrives...quite quickly after ordering. If you have been bowling next door this is a much better option than the ghastly lane food. However, please note that the premises remains cash only. Ver carta

Great value for money...all you can eat Buffet for pounds..soup, appetizers, crispy duck pancake station, main dishes rices noodles! Food is not gourmet, but better than most take aways..but for the price, cannot be beat...drinks are a little expensive, but...water is free. Nice dessert station as well. Dining room is very basic, but your there for the food and not the atmosphere. If you like a formal dining room, they have an upstairs restaurant that will take care of this wish for you!

I have been passed this venue a few times recently and was determined to try the buffet restaurant element. As other reviewers have said not the best location but perfectly fine for me. In order to stay within my meal allowance I’m always on...the lookout for good value decent quality eating establishments. The price here is for the buffet which includes iced water. The selection isn’t huge but it is replenished on a regular basis to keep it fresh. In fact the duck for the pancake rolls is reasonably chunky rather than shredded to a fine powder. Definitely not the worst buffet Chinese restaurant I have been to in London if you are looking for value this might be worth a try.
