Good Sichuanese restaurant on Charing Cross Road. They have another branch near Euston Station.
Offers an all you can eat buffet for £7.50, or takeaway box for £4. Two different soups, about six starter dishes and about ten main courses - about half of which are vegetarian.
They also do a la carte, and hotpots, which may not be evident from the outside. The internet suggests that unless you're visibly Chinese, or you make it very clear that you want the interesting/authentic stuff, you might have trouble getting the best out of this place — but that it is worth persisting. If you're after the Sichuanese stuff then you probably want to avoid the buffet. The hotpots are probably a good bet.
Ian Fenn warns in the review linked below that (at least as of June 2007) not all of the menu is translated into English. They may also not be licensed to serve booze (not sure).
