Glad to have them back! - Edit
I first visited when they were in Box Park so I'm glad to hear of their return to this area on Hanbury Street. I enjoyed their Japanika bowl which I don't think was on their previous menu. Lovely katsu on delicious noodles! A little pricey but lots of fresh veg and happy to support a 100% vegan independent business

Tasty, but pricey - Edit
If you're after quick, healthy vegan food in East London , Cook daily is a great shout. Most dishes are rice based and boast a great combination of flavours. The dragon boat is an awesome little side dish, too.
Read moreThe only complaint is that at £14-15 a dish, you're paying a premium for what is essentially just a rice bowl. It's a shame, as if these dishes were £11 it'd be a much easier recommendation.

Triumphant return - Edit
I'm surely one of many who are excited about this comeback. The menu is pretty similar to previous incarnations if somewhat pricier but it's a prime location.
Read moreThe Lao bowl has a winning peppery chilli heat and packs a flavour punch. The Pad Thai is milder but no less delicious with perfectly al dente veggies and noodles. There's Sriracha on the tables.
The quality old-school hip-hop playlist remains but at a much lower volume. Although it's small there's a decent amount of seating.
Card payment is available.

absolutely great - Edit
The staff was very friendly and the ambiance was chic. Lots of healthy options to choose from. Waiting time between 5-10 minutes, which is perfectly fine. For me 4 stars because it's a bit pricey and I didn't like the dish I ordered that much (KCD Pad Thai 7.5/10), but I will definitely try something else when I encounter King CookDaily again another time.

Good flavours, kinda spenny - Edit
For a bowl of just veg and rice, I paid £14. The upside is that the flavours were authentically Thai & everything tasted fresh and high quality. Will probs visit again if I'm ever in the area.

Captures the culture of the alternative London vegan scene. - Edit
You won't find another place like this in London from the grafitti filled walls to the sound of UK music playing through the speakers this is the London! Although predominantly Asian inspired, the Cookdaily menu is a fusion of cultures and flavours that represent urban London. Items on the menu include chicken & mushroom pie, pad thai and my favourite the Caribbean inspired jerk bowl to name just a few. Not many people could pull this off but the owner King is a master at culinary cooking having been an international chef and worked in Michelin star restaurants. He's brought it right back to the roots here and birthed what I believe is a shift in culture to vegan food especially for those who come from ethnic backgrounds where food is bursting with flavours and spices. I have travelled to 45 countries and eaten hundreds of vegan meals from different places but this is my number one. It's a must try if you are in the UK.
Read morePros: Always cooked to order so fresh, Packed with flavour, Venue really represents what London is about

Impressive - Edit
I'm not gonna say this is 'the best vegan restaurant in London' because I haven't been to them all. In fact, I've only been to a few. But I WILL say, I absolutely love this place! It's local so that's convenient. It delivers via Uber Eats, so on lazy days, THAT'S convenient too.
Read moreThe decor of the restaurant is cool. It has a fun, modern, trendy vibe. The staff are happy and friendly. There was UK grime music playing in the background on the few occasions that I visited which made a nice touch.
The menu is written all around the walls which is pretty unique, and there's an excellent variety of vegan dishes to keep anyone happy. You can be seated inside or outside. You can even take your meal away and the London Fields park is just around the corner, with Victoria Park not far away either.
Most importantly though, are the dishes themselves. Decent portions. My personal favourite is the 'High Grade', largely for novelty reasons but it tastes great too. I love that you can add or remove extra veggies, chickpeas, plantain, tofu and/or 'chickn' for practically any meal.
It's not cheap here but it's not too bad either. You'll eat and drink and leave perfectly satisfied for around £10-£15 per head.
I'm certain that once you visit this spot, or even have your food delivered to you, you'll be eager to come/order again!
Pros: Good tasty food, Fun and friendly vibe, Uber Eats deliveries
Cons: Not cheap (but not overly expensive either)

London’s classics - Edit
I think this place really became one of London vegan classics. Haven’t tried any of the new opened venues yet. Good food although i think it’s bit overrated. Always Go there when I feel like Asian food and don’t want to risk anything new

Freaking delicious - Edit
I loved this place! The prices are really good for London, it has outdoor and indoor seating, a really cool atmosphere, the staff and seemingly all customers are super chill and happy - the atmosphere alone is worth the visit. The food is so incredibly delicious! The cater for all tastes and the meals are so filling, I honestly could have shared with another person and still have my fill.

Cons: Single use tableware

Cook Daily - Edit
Excellent vegan restaurant located in a hip neighborhood with a nice vibe. I loved the vegan Pad Thai, it was very flavorful and even came with vegan fish sauce. I added some spring rolls, which weren't my favorite, but the main dish alone was a home run. Jerk curry was good too, but would have been better with noodles instead of rice.

Cool ambiance and good food - Edit
I had a soup which was quite large and so was the pad Thai my friends ordered. My partner ordered a vegetable dish with rice which was on the small side and mostly rice, although the price was the same as the other dishes (which was a bit disappointing). It was tasty food but anyone expecting it to be authentic Asian might be disappointed -- it's not quite that. On the night we went, there were only 3 small pieces of chicken or tofu per bowl. We had hoped for a few more for that price. The ambiance is pretty cool here but perhaps they need a better system to notify outside diners when their food is ready. The girl calling out the numbers sounded scary!
Read morePros: Cool ambiance, Pad Thai and the soup were big portions
Cons: Not all dishes are created equal, Disposable dishes and cutlery , Prices aren't listed on the menu board

Reasonable prices - Edit
I‘ve only been to that place when it was still in Boxpark Shoreditch. I was surprised how much you get for what you pay. My boyfriend and I shared a bowl and were both full after we‘d finished. Very flavourful. Would always go back.
