Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 20 and Version 7 of Noodle King, SE8 4PQ
| Version 20 | Version 7 |
|---|---|
| == Line 0 == | == Line 0 == |
| Noodle King was a cheap and cheerful Chinese buffet and restaurant in [[Locale Deptford|Deptford]], just by [[Deptford Bridge Station]]; it has now closed. As of April 2015 the premises are occupied by [[Xi'An Restaurant, SE8 4PQ]]. |
From the outside it appears as if this is a strictly-buffet affair - this isn't actually the case. You can order off a set menu or opt for the £7.95 buffet - however vegetarians note the only suitable dishes were chips, seaweeed, salt and pepper tofu and rice, so best to stick to the set menu. |

<a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Bec">Bec</a> had the vegetables in soup with noodles - substituting mushrooms for beancurd - for £3.90 and and was very tasty with crunchy vegetables and lots of ramen in a massive bowl. <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Ewan">Ewan</a> had the veggie spring rolls for starters, which he found a bit bland, and the vegetable ho fun which was piled high on the plate and got good reviews. Meat-eating Sean remarked that his pork dumplings and crispy duck stir fry were acceptable, however he was served two flat colas. Something wrong with the soda-stream? |

<div class="old_info"> A cheap and cheerful Chinese buffet and restaurant in [[Locale Deptford|Deptford]], just by [[Deptford Bridge Station]]. From the outside it appears as if this is a strictly buffet affair, but this isn't actually the case. You can order off a set menu or opt for the all-you-can-eat buffet, which is priced between £6 and £8.50 depending on the day and the time <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/rjw1/2724385837/ photo of buffet prices and rules]</small>. However, vegetarians should note that at least in March 2008 the only vegetarian dishes on the buffet were chips, seaweed, salt & pepper tofu, and rice; so best to stick to the set menu. [[Bec]], [[Ewan]], and Sean tried the set menu in March 2008. Bec had the vegetables in soup with noodles - substituting mushrooms for beancurd - for £3.80 and it was very tasty with crunchy vegetables and lots of ramen in a massive bowl. Ewan had the veggie spring rolls for starters, which he found a bit bland, and then the vegetable ho-fun noodles, which were piled high on the plate and were perfectly tasty. Meat-eating Sean remarked that his pork dumplings and crispy duck stir fry were acceptable, though he was served two flat colas. Something wrong with the soda-stream? [[Bob]] visited on a Saturday afternoon in August 2008, and went for the buffet option (£6.50 on this occasion). The food was plentiful, and tasty enough, and the Chinese tea was acceptable. There were several other customers present. |

All in all, far from gourmet but super-cheap and accessible.
