A great noodle/stirfry bar in the middle of borough market.

Their staff are really friendly and had lots of choice for vegans and meat eaters.

I would go again if I was in the area, it would be good to see a few more around!

Hope to go back soon!

I had looked at this establishment many times, but although I visit London all the time, I had just soo much choice in the Borough Market open air food cornucopia, that I'd missed it. However, I did a reconnaissance of the fresh foods in the market and decided not to repeat the Pad Thia i'd had the month before and queued up to choose mu lunch. The menu is simplicity itself, and without pretending that it is cheap food, I believe it is excellent value. My Egg noodle carbohydrate base, was enriched by the sweetness of pork as my protein option. I added mixed peppers and bamboo shoots for crunch and texture and then struggled to choose the sauce for this to be cooked in. I sadly discarded the Teriyaki-Tamari sauce, and the hotter Black bean-BBQ for Coconut Curry which was the recommendation of the distractingly beautiful young lady who served me. She put the ingredients as I choose then into containers and then they are passed five feet back to two chefs with super efficient woks whereupon you watch you food cooked in a matter of probably six minutes... depending how many other orders are ahead of you. I only remembered to take a photo when I had eaten a third of it (See below) but sat opposite a student from Ganzou China who ate with a fork while I persevered with chopsticks !
Very much recommended despite the choice all round the area.

Spent £10 quid on what was meant to be a tasty post pint treat. If you go order noodles which must be better than the rice i chose. each grain was like a shard of glass

Waited in a long queue. Ordered two fried rice dishes with Chicken and Prawns. Not quite like any fried rice I'd had before, but kind of OK, I think - certainly somewhat different in taste and texture. But, they cost a fortune - £13 each for small lidded tubs of brown stodgy. Much prefer my wife's rice, thank you very much...

Hey,

Really sorry you didn't enjoy your meal. Obviously I would be more than happy to offer a full refund. All our large meals start at £5 and should be more than enough to fill you up at that price. The price then increases depending on the amount of modifiers you pick, so I sincerely apologise if the menu was not explained well enough to you, we will have a team meeting tomororw to make sure extra care is given to this point. Thank you for the feedback.

We apologise for the long wait time, we do try our best but each dish is unique and made to each customers personal specification, so it will always be longer than your average fast food establishment.

We really apologise you didn't like your choice and would hope that one day you might come back and we can be more helpful in picking you a combination that suits you.

All the best,

Richard
