You won’t regret trying! - Edit
Staff was so friendly and food was SO good - was odd seeing a selection knowing you could eat everything!
Read moreIn particular, the tofu was incredible - I could’ve had a whole plate full of that alone.
Don’t miss out!!
Pros: Cheap lunch with so no meat in sight

Just ok - Edit
Food is edible but that's about it. It's very greasy and could use more seasoning. Even some salt or soy sauce would be appreciated.
Read moreThat being said, it's very cheap and you get to eat as much as you want. If you're absolutely starving for a vegan meal, go for it, otherwise maybe pick a different one or grab something from a supermarket.
Cash only!
Pros: All vegan, Cheap
Cons: Bland, greasy and unhealthy food, Cash only

Standard Buffet - Edit
I like the food here but I don’t expect much from buffets. I had dinner one night and lunch the next day. Dinner was better. If you want something really good go elsewhere. If you are happy scoffing a cheap buffet then this is your deal. Very cheap. Nice to see lots of kids coming in to get their veggies!
Read morePros: Cheap, Fast, Variety
Cons: Not the best quality, Busy and loud

Love Tai! - Edit
This place is a little gem in Shepherd’s Bush. No it’s not the healthiest but it’s one place where you can really indulge without shelling out a fortune. I love the cold selection (especially the broccoli) and the hot buffet is great too, with more emphasis on mock meats. There’s also a ton of different dressings and extras like crispy rolls, tempura and a small selection of desserts. Friendly service too!
Read morePros: All vegan., Good price., Filling!

Awful food - Edit
Tried this place, awful food and a strange smell in the restaurant that had permeated throughout the food.
Read moreThe food itself was cold and was either overpowered with garlic or tastes of nothing at all.
I'm very surprised by the positive reviews and I think it says a lot about vegan taste buds not being very sophisticated.
Don't eat here. It's awful.
Pros: Was served quickly and staff were friendly
Cons: The strange smell, Everything else

Yummmmm - Edit
Went a bit out of our way for this as reviews were all good. One vegan, one veggie one omni all very happy, big compliments all round for food & staff couldn’t have been nicer. Atmosphere/ setting as basic as it comes but this is reflected in the price. We had a great time & will definitely be back & recommend to everyone 👍
Read morePros: Good choices all round.

Cheap vegan option if you want something quick - Edit
As mentioned by others the food is cheap and quite good quality for the price, but it is not healthy. A lot of oil, mock-meat and sugar plus an extensive amount of onions mostly raw. We mostly buy the mock meat in sauce and pimp it at home with some broccoli and homemade rice
Read morePros: cheap, lots of options

not a Thai buffet as not a single thing is Thai! call it Asian instead - Edit
It’s nice that it’s a vegan buffet at a very reasonable price. However there isn’t anything Thai. Food has a lot of sugar and it’s all mock meat...
Read morethe music isn’t Thai either...
if you’re around and want a cheap meal is fine and a good value, but not the place to go every day

good cheap option - Edit
Overall I was very happy with my experience. The staff was friendly, the food was inexpensive, and most of the food was delicious. There was one dish (something like orange chicken I believe, can't remember exactly what the dish was called). Other than that everything was great.

Convenient, cheap, tasty - Edit
I stumbled on this place on Happy Cow while looking for places to eat near my hotel in Shepherd's Bush. As I was in London for work, I just wanted a quick, satisfying meal after a long, tiring day, and this place fit the bill.
Read moreIt's certainly not the most stand out in terms of food or service, but both aren't bad, and it's really good value for money. You pay 7 GBP (for dinner) and can refill your plate as often as you like (there's a two hour limit). Everything I tried was tasty. One or two dishes were maybe a bit too salty, but there's a large variety of cold and warm buffet dishes to choose from.
As others have mentioned, they do add on a service charge which is unusual for a restaurant where you serve yourself, but I ordered a drink and while there isn't table service for the food, the staff do promptly clear and clean the tables once vacated, so I really didn't mind paying it, especially considering how much food I got for my money.
I wouldn't have minded if the dining area had a bit more lighting as I like to read while I eat and it's a bit dark for that.
Like I said, the food isn't spectacular so I wouldn't go out of my way to come here if I wasn't in the area, but it's definitely tasty enough that I'll be coming back if I'm in the area again, and if I lived in the area, I'd certainly drop by for a convenient take-away.
Pros: Good value, tasty food, fast and convenient (if you're in the area)
Cons: Some food a bit too salty (for my tastes), a bit dark in the dining area

All you can eat vegan food (a bit greasy though) - Edit
All the girls assisting behind the counter clearly had no idea, the 'chef' preparing the juices assured us that everything on the buffet is vegan.
Read moreIt is all you can eat (limited seat time of 2 hours).
The food was nice, although quite greasy (which my belly did not respond to quite well soon afterwards!).
But it is of course very, very cheap, and good value for money!

this is definitely vegan and very good for the money - Edit
I visited 24 September 2016. Very disappointed to read that this place was now serving meat but I was assured by a senior member of staff that everything is 100% vegan. The selection is incredible and very tasty. Highly recommended and eat as much as you want for under 8 quid. Loved it and wished I lived closer! There are many heathy options but after a few beers in the local Brewdog pub, I went for the spicy options. It's all buffet so you can be in and out in 30 minutes. 5 stars from me even though Happy Cow will only allow 4 as it says they serve meat. They don't.
Read morePros: all vegan, incredible value, great variety
Cons: I live over an hour away
