"No flesh except the alive, walking kind."   My Rating

	Review: The food's pretty much the standard fare you'd find at places of this sort, and not hugely exceptional in quality; it's forte is good value. I'm not sure I'd agree regarding any greasiness - yes there were the usual spring rolls and deep fried items, but there were naturally enough curries and bowls of salad & fruit; this being the first time I've noticed the latter. Mock meats weren't everywhere. Unlike a similar place in Greek Street (south of G-A-Y, and round the corner from Foyles) this place is more open plan, and I'd say a bit more spacious than another incarnation along Euston Road. Ate three plates worth on Sunday and there were quite a few other patrons, but no jostling waiting turns for access to the dishes. I believe the takeout's advertised as £3 (approx.) but I paid a bit over seven quid for a sit down without drinks. Seems reasonable although I stuck in the main to the plain rice and massaman curry. Good value I say.   Pros: Good value. * Pleasant decor. * Good service. Cons: The usual suspects on the menu. * *

"not for sensitive stomachs"   My Rating

	Review: Nice little place, friendly people, lots of dishes to choose from and insanely cheap, but everything seems to be (stir)fried in oil. Very greasy food, so it's a bit heavy on the stomach :-(. Also a lot of fake meats (gluten), so not recommended for people with gas issues *lol*   Pros: cheap * a lot of choice * Cons: too oily * too much fake meat *

	Review: There are a lot of these thai buffet food places all over London now which is a great thing. This is one of our favourites, i say our as it is a group of students from Westminster uni. It is very friendly, has a great selection of vegan fodder and lots of fruit and veg which is where some of the others let themselves down a little. A must for all veggies, vegans and anyone else who wants good food without the London price tag.   Pros: Cheap * vegan * friendly Cons: * *

	Review: really well priced lunchtime buffet, only £5.50. large selection of food. a mixture of veg and mock dishes, all of which i tried were mighty fine. they do a take away box for £3.50. very nice staff who were very helpful. the only downside, as with most buffets, is keeping everything warm. if i was in london i would go out of my way to go here.   Pros: great selection * nice staff * a bargain Cons: * *

"great place!"   My Rating

	Review: we were a little tired of paying so much for little portions and bad service. this place was a fantastic find. the food is delicious-lots of hot and cold choices that are, according to the staff, all vegan. the hot food is great-soya beef and soya chicken options are delicious and hearty. only costs £5.50 for lunch and £6.50 for dinner buffet, with as many helpings as you want. staff is incredibly friendly-greeted us before we even entered the restaurant. there are several of these almost exactly the same all around the city, usually marked with a Tai Buffet sign.   Pros: inexpensive buffet * friendly staff * Cons: * *
