Dou Dou - Qing Buffet

this is london, and where else can you find all you can eat buffet for £5.90 at lunch??? ( and £6.90 at dinner) amazing value, great variety and really tasty. food is definitely not good for you and some of it is a little oily but it's so delicious- first time I've had vegan sesame prawn toast!

This Veg Buffet is nice and has a good selection of items to choose from. The cafe is pleasant and the price is very reasonable. I will definitely return.

It's a simple place and for just under £6 you can eat as much as you like at lunchtime safely knowing it's all vegetarian - can't fault that. There was quite a variety, lots of mock meat, but yes, very oily as many people have mentioned. Not a bad place to go when you're low on money but want to eat a lot.

Really good for the price. Food is really tasty!

It's an all you can eat buffet with quite a lot of food and a reasonable price. Service are friendly and leave all the time you want to spend in there.

I went as a raw vegan knowing it wasn't the right place, but I could choose a few things like fruit, cucumbers, tomatoes, a couple of salads that were raw (cabbage, carrots, etc.).

I recommend it if you love chinese fried food and are very hungry and don't want to spend much money.

Quite a large selection, lots of fake meat options. Really tasty. Fairly cheap (£6.90 each all you can eat). Obviously not fine dining but when you want loads of Chinese food it's perfect!

The restaurant has a very low hygiene standard. The lady in the kitchen was coughing and then spat into a bucket on the ground. Food is really poor quality and the floor looks like it hadn't been mopped for years.

To call it a salad bar may be a stretch. However it's cheap, and if you want fine dining it's not the place for you. But grab a pot and go.. This is your place. Chinese buffet.

Buena relación calidad/precio , también me gustó la comida pero había muy poca variedad , de postres casi no había nada.

Really cheap restaurant. I mean cheap ambiance, cheap service and cheap quality food. The owner was refilling the food with a big dirty plastic bowl as if feeding hogs. I also noticed that they seemed never to give bills to clients. At least not to me. The owner just muttered out 10.35. With my fatigue after my flight, I actually gave her 14 by mistake. No appreciation, no change, she just said, "that's correct!" But that's wrong from every aspect! Restaurant like this should be closed as soon as possible to stop further damaging the reputation of vegan and vegetarian diary.

A small all vegan restaurant where you can either stay in for an all you can eat buffet or take away.
The price is really cheap so if you are very hungry and like Asian food this might be a place for you.
They offer many meals with meat substitutes so this is a matter of taste thing since some vegans just don't like the taste.
It tastes quite real though, so it might be something for those who like it but don't eat it because of ethical reasons.
All in all the food tasted nice but rather fatty.

I do recommend it when you have a low budget and are hungry. :-)

A massive selection of Chinese foods. First there's the soup (admittedly I have never tried)
Then there's the starters area with prawn crackers, toast, dumplings, fried potatoes.
Next to that there's the cold salad section full of vegetable salads, noodle salads and tofu salads (I'd say about 6/8 to choose from) and here you'll see some fruit for pudding too.
Then there's the hot food area with some delicious noodles on offer, rice, veg and mock meat dishes to choose from (sweet and sour, red curry, green curry, mince dish, black bean and then just hot vegetables).

All the food is vegan (not labelled), however, the staff do not know about the alcohol so best stick to branded beers you know are vegfriendly.

I saw an allergens poster on the wall beside the soup so you can check yourself for any other allergens.

Once service charge is added you pay about £8 a person for food, cash only.

I was there at 12 on the dot as I had. a train to catch.
there was initially odd moments when I arrived and wasn't really spoken too. there seemed an assumption that I might be a regular and no on really spoke to me, and I didn't have a clue about the set up.
the food looked good and there is a huge selection of fried foods, cold dishes and hot buffet
the food I had was okay but not spectacular, and although it's good value i left full but not satisfied. too reliant on mock meat and not enough vegetables for me, and it felt a bit oily. the place is fine for lunch, but I wouldn't recommend to a friend as it's okay, but not great.

I've eaten here twice in the past couple of years and I actually really liked the food at Dou Dou. A fellow vegetarian friend pointed it out as it's easy to miss as it's on the "other" side of the camden town tube station. Once you know, it's actually really easy ;)
The variety of food is great and I liked the mix of starters and main dishes and also cold/hot food. I usually eat too much at buffet places, especially when I find something that's really yummy, so, that's what happened. don't wanna complain about it though ;) Really liked the dessert section, too!
Service wasn't extraordinary but nice enough. Tea was nice too. It's not the poshest place but I found it rather charming.
Not the best asian place I've ever eaten at but definitely will be visiting again!

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I entered Dou Dou. It was so quiet, small and almost seemed a bit deserted. The atmosphere was really odd. No one came over to greet my friend and I as we entered. We had to just find a seat and help ourselves without being asked if we wanted drinks or anything of the sort.

Unfortunately, I have coeliac disease so I had to ask if they had any gluten free options. They genuinely had no idea what gluten was or if any of their food contained it. So I had to 'take a gamble' and hope for the best. I got lucky that time but I don't recommend this place if you have coeliac disease.

All in all, the food was nice but the atmosphere was a let down.

No frills, nothing fancy but good selection of vegi food. Our favourites were the fake chicken sweet n sour and the sesame toast which were quite addictive. The fake beef was surprisingly good.

Went here last night, managed to down 5 plates of food and get a guava juice for £9.25! All the food was amazingly tasty, although the noodles and rice were a little oily when they brought out fresh batches. overall amazing buffet

Wonderful veggie place not far from Central London in the Camden area which is already worth visiting anyway. Great choice of dishes, all really tasty, with a multitude of sauces to choose from. The all-you-can-eat buffet is the cheapest I've seen, and a takeaway box is even cheaper.

It doesn't do desserts other than fruit but maybe they're just trying to be healthy :P
