Change the description, not 100% vegan

Hello,
I recently stayed in London on vacation at a hotel close to this restaurant. I visited it several times during my stay and i found it pleasant and it had a nice buffet at a nice cost.
The first time i came there I asked it everything was vegan and they replied yes everything is vegan.
Since I have been vegan for 12 years I've been thru a lot of weird experiences so Im always super careful when going to restaurants, so when I got to the dessert i asked again about the ice cream and they replied no sir, its normal ice cream. ???????

This restaurant should definitely not be displayed as "vegan".

The food was nice but this is important stuff that should be displayed on the menus etc.

Pros: Good price, Good location, Decent food
Cons: not 100% vegan, Oily

My husband and I ate at this restaurant during a visit to London. We were impressed by the attentiveness of the staff and the many options available to choose from. The buffet was all you can eat and the owner was very kind in encouraging us to go for a second round.

My only complaint would be that the food isn't as fresh as in some other places for the mere fact that the restaurant seemed very empty. The owners were very proactive in trying to bring passers-by in but seemed to scare them off in doing so (i.e. by popping their heads out the door and addressing/spooking people who were admiring the food from the storefront display).

Pros: Good Value, Ambiance, Friendliness

Good buffet vegan asian food

Really good place. All the food is vegan. I visited here while on vacation with my husband. We enjoyed the all your can eat buffet for lunch. Both of us were full with two plates. It was very quiet and every time people looked in the people who worked there nicely opened the door to invite them in. Unfortunately, many people seemed to run off when finding the "chicken" and "beef" are made of soy meats. That was sad. But if you like imitation "meats" and such this is a really good place. I was happy to have a number of different "beef" and "chicken" options to choose form mixed with some vegetable dishes.

The place has a great location. It's literally right off of Piccadilly Circus.

Pros: Quiet place, Great location, right off Piccadilly , Good value

Asian buffet: good + inexpensive

This "eat as much as you can" buffet restaurant serves quite a variety of Asian-style food at a very low price: GBP 5.90 Mon - Fr until 5 p.m., GBP 6.90 at any other time (prices October 2012). Delicious food with lots of fresh vegetables, friendly service.

Pros: delicious food, good value, friendly staff
