Fantastic vegan buffet with mock meats ! - Edit
I noticed Dou Dou has been closed for a while so I really hope they do reopen someday... I went there several times between 2018 and 2019. You wouldn't especially notice this small restaurant in Camden Town at first, but never judge a book by its cover😄Everything there is vegan and the price of the buffet is cheap compared to the variety and the quality of the food. The mock meats were very tasty and definitely worth it. Fingers crossed, they will be back !

Moving to Plender Street - Edit
Notice on shop front saying they are moving to Plender Street NW1, 5mins away. Date of re-opening uncertain.
Read moreHope it is soon as this is one of their only 2 remaining all you can eat thai vegan buffets in London now, the other being in Shepherds Bush, West London.

In case anyone reads this and goes to look (as I did last week), it is still not open on Plender street yet!

@Bozo66 - Can confirm that it still hasn't opened at the new location that it said it would, so I doubt it ever will, sadly. I wish I could get in touch with the owners to find out more, somehow!
Read more@RubyMae - thank you highlighting the option in Shepherds Bush - I'd never heard of this one and it looks very similar! Have missed Dou Dou a lot so very excited to go try this one out once lockdown ends. https://www.happycow.net/reviews/to-fu-west-london-19473

Good variety of food - Edit
I arrived on a wet night and came in with my umbrella dripping which the owner/manager quickly took off me and placed in a bucket! I got a seat and asked how it worked and basically it is an eat-all-you-want buffet for 8 pounds. There is a large variety of food, some salad options, some hot sauces (curry, sweet and sour), mostly with some seitan type mock meat and a lot of fried foods. The main thing is that it is a lot of food, all vegan, at a very reasonable price. The food itself is fine, fairly standard, and a bit on the oily side. I also got green tea, which is free refill, and this was filled spontaneously without me having to ask for a refill. Worth a visit, especially if hungry and on a budget!

Tasty & cheap - Edit
Tasty & cheap and loads of selection although careful you don’t eat yourself sick (like me!), the food was very greasy as well. I wouldn’t eat there again personally as it felt very unhealthy but I know loads of people who love it.

Amazing for the price. - Edit
Fully vegan, Chinese-style buffet. I found it “tastes of vegan”, which I enjoy, but your mileage may vary - a lot of the mock meat tastes of seitan in a way that may or may not go down well for someone who’s less used to meat alternatives. Extremely good given the price and central location, and has vegan versions of stalwarts like “prawn crackers”. Cash only and a bit of a quiet vibe. Toilets downstairs only.
Read morePros: All vegan and a huge buffet, Central location, Very reasonable price for the offer
Cons: A lot of the food is served cold, no hot plate?, Very deep-fried (not a con for everyone), Quiet and feels a bit odd sometimes

Cheap and greasy - so typical buffet food but vegan! - Edit
Definitely not 'proper' Chinese food, but it is a proper Chinese buffet in the typical sense. You can eat all you want and has all the typical Chinese buffet fayre.
Read moreWish it could be kept a little hotter and maybe be a little more flavourful, but for that price it's good.

Perfect! - Edit
This place is an absolute gem, it's my favourite place to eat in London and I would highly recommend it. The selection is really vast and very tasty, the cold stuff can be a little greasy though so be warned! The mock meat dishes are full of flavor and the TVP is really soft and chewy, I love it. Very cheap too, around £15 for 2 (excluding drinks)

One of my favourite vegan places in London! An all you can eat vegan Chinese buffet for next to nothing. It’s incredibly good value for money, the staff are great, and there’s always amazing C-pop playing on the speakers.

Did I just die and go to heaven? - Edit
Beautifully laid out Asian style buffet menu that is all you can eat for only £8!!! Oh, and did I mention they also have an alcohol license? Hell. To. The. Yes. This is a place I would definitely go out of my way to visit next time I'm in London.

Nice location, cheap but not so tasty - Edit
The idea of a all-you-can-eat buffet is nice but the mains are a bit oily. Moreover, most of the dishes are with similis. You will see "chicken", "beef" but it's industrial similis made of soja. I think vegan cuisine does not need to imitate animal corpses.
Read morePros: Cheap, 7,90 pounds in the evening, Water for free, Nice location
Cons: Oily, A bit too loud

Amazingly realistic - Edit
The seitan / meat substitutes changed in each dish and really really really resembled each meat. It was almost scary. Lots of fruit and vegetables too which i find important for buffets. The stuff were fine and the seating was small but nice. Really good location too!! Prices varied from both a previous trip and online so am unsure of what they are based on?

Yeah - Edit
First time I tried this place I couldn't stand it, went back a second time out of convenience/desperation due to its location pretty much right next to Underworld and found it more palatable, tried it a third time because I passed it on the street and the aromas emanating from within tickled my fancy before I realised where they were coming from and yeah, it's really starting to grow on me now. Not bad at all and very cheap. Better than Loving Hut's buffet, but not as good as their evening menu if you know what I mean. Will be back.

super food, variety and the price!! - Edit
So pleased to have found this place. Convinced a hearty meat eater of the beauty in vegan food and filled a happy vegan and veggie being able to choose from so much. Sesame toast, noodles, and even ‘prawn’ crackers - things I haven’t eaten in years!
Read moreSo chuffed. Spent a tenner on a beer and had three visits to the buffet too - what a steal!
Go go go!
