Good lunch - Edit
Came here Bach when I was last in London so decided to come back again! Very friendly staff and food was great. Really good options, and all you can eat! Not much seating unfortunately. Now accepts card which is good! Would definitely come back!

Just Great! So much fun, so much fooood! - Edit
I have been a massive fan of this place for years and visited it through all its different iterations and names. What is particularly great about this place is that you have a real choice to construct dishes that are super healthy or super 'indulgent' or a mix and it's all fun and interesting.
Read moreThe stand-out dish (new for me) was a wonderfully spiced hot Szechuan mock beef with black funghi and roast potatoes with broccoli labelled "Dry Spicy Wok", it was kinda incredible and I kept going back for more.
It's a shame that seating is more limited now they have a shop in the back. But, where else can you get Vegan duck pancakes, spring rolls, your pick of 20+ dishes, salad and tapioca and mango jelly for dessert with fruit for about a tenner! A great way to spend a few hours with friends and then spend the rest of the afternoon in a post-carb-fest-haze.

Pros: Some stand-out dishes (Szechuan beef & funghi), Great value for money, Variety for all levels of health-consciousnessness
Cons: Shop sells sells some vegetarian goods also, Limited seating at busy times

Vegan buffet for £9.99 - Edit
Formerly Tai Veg which had a branch in Hong Kong causeway bay but closed decades ago, there is a branch in London now rebranded as Su vegan.
Read moreAlthough I was aware I didn't ever go because I didn't like the staff there which were so unfriendly.
It's now much nicer with English speaking staff which is reflected by more customers.
Anyway, I loved the green ginger sauce on potatoes, the duck for pancakes were so dry so I put mince instead from the aubergines dish.
Highlights were corn soup, mapo tofu, potatoes and green ginger sauce, sago dessert.
The mapo tofu was really tasty because it was strong on the miso bean side but not spicy.
Plates are small like side plates which is good in a way for those without self control and it stop those people who take a large quantity of the same item leaving nothing for others.
Overall dirt cheap and delicious vegan buffet with peace and quiet yet civilised.

Tasty, good value and fun - Edit
Near Westfield shopping centre in Shepherds bush. We absolutely loved this place. Great value for money, especially in London. My son loved it as it's very rare that he can have the fun of all you can eat. He especially loved the crispy duck pancakes. Everything is so tasty and delicious, yes, you can tell there's a lot of oil in the food but life is too short to be healthy all the time.

YES YES amazing - Edit
Loved everything! I got a take away box (£5 for small £6 for large) and filled it with everything I wanted. It was very tasty!! Some of the things are on the oily/fried side (not in a bad way) the salad bits with veggies were super fresh. Food is amazing, prices great especially for london, and service was fantastic too!

Amazing - Edit
This place is unbelievable. Never had so many vegan Chinese dishes before...all so good and many had tofu/vegan meat so your protein intake is covered, too. Just great and so cheap. £11 per head for dinner for all you can eat. Very close to Shepherds Bush station. Totally worth the journey.

Phenomenal - Edit
This little place is ridiculously good. Loads of dishes to choose from including deserts and at a more than reasonable price of £10.90 ( £2 for a drink). The staff were super polite, friendly and hospitable. I will definitely be returning here on my next trip to London.

Best Buffet I have ever been - Edit
03 Mar 2024 : This place is honestly the most amazing buffet I have ever eaten at, fully vegan and lots of choice! Food is tasty, and best of all its 10 pounds! ( 9 pounds before 16:00 and take away is 6 pounds, cash only ) of course the interior of the place has some paint etc that doesn’t look great, but hey for 10 pounds its great! they also have toilets downstairs. overall a must visit if you are are in London!
Read more20-09-2024 : it has now been renovated, still a great place but the the dine in prices have increased to 11 pounds. It is cash only, but the update looks nice and clean. Still one of my favourite places in London

Se paga solo en efectivo lo que me parece super bien contra la Agenda Globalista 2030 de quitar el efectivo.

He repetido 3 veces en la estancia de Londres.
Un 10 de 10.

Awful place - Edit
Awful food. I used to go here before the refurb and went once after the refurb and I must say I am bitterly disappointed. Food quality is just as poor as before and the price has gone up!
Read moreJust don’t waste your time on this one imo. Might as well spend your £10.90 on a burger from temple of seitan or a whatthepitta vegan donner or something.

Life saver - Edit
Such an amazing place if you’re on a budget AND hungry. Got a takeaway box to fill for £6 which is really good for London in this day and age. The staff are so lovely as well and the variety of food is excellent, both ‘meatier’ dishes, starters and fresh/raw slaws and salads.

the great cheap thai buffet - Edit
Dec 2016
Read moreOnce upon a time there opened an all you can eat Thai buffet in Greek St , Soho. We couldn't believe how amazing it was. All Vegan and eat as much as you like! A year or so later there were about 10 franchises of the the same, the best of which was Joi on Percy St off Tottenham Court Road. Sadly there are only two (possibly 3) left that are still vegan. This restaurant is a beacon of joy stuck out in the misery that is Shepherds Bush where there is SFA else vegan to eat.
The buffet is extensive, featuring salads, hot and cold dishes, noodles, rice, roast potatoes, lots of fake meat and some sweet dishes for desert! A real bonus at this place is that the worker spoke good enough English to be able to discuss the ingredients of each dish, so those trying to avoid sugar etc could eat with ease.
Great it's still going, go support it!
Returned for an evening meal on the 24th Feb 2019 and found the buffet to be almost identical to how it was 3 years ago! Still a great selection of vegan savoury food, some hot some cold (I think some reviewers don’t realise that many dishes are intentionally served cold!) For sure this is not quality food, some is not even that healthy given the fat and sugar content but it is vegan and for London it is cheap. It is great to see so many locals popping in to eat there. This place has outlasted most of the other All You Can Eat Thai Buffets maybe because the rent is cheaper in Shepherds Bush than central London! But whatever there Thai Fo is right next to the evil Mcdonald’s offering a cruelty free alternative, hurrah!
Back again in April 2024!
Tai still caters to the cheap n cheerful vegan market, perfect for hungry folk who can’t afford them likes of wolf and lamb, Mildred’s etc. Don’t expect classy presentation but do enjoy all the fake meats you can manage! Great to see this place still alive. All you can eat buffet now costs £9.
Updated from previous review on 2019-02-24
Pros: Wide choice, Cheap cost, All you can eat.
Cons: In West london!, Some dishes may sit around too long.

Great value in London - Edit
"If you're navigating the city with discerning eaters or little ones in tow, this spot is a lifesaver. For just £10, indulge in an all-you-can-eat feast where you call the shots—pick what you love and pass on the rest. While it may not boast the pinnacle of Chinese cuisine, it's a delightful dive into hawker-style dining with a plethora of options to please your palate. Go ahead, feast to your heart's content!"

Did they change the food quality or is it exactly the same as before? Also have they refurbed those grotty toilets downstairs?

All you can eat vegan. That’s all. - Edit
I don’t get why some people give a bad rating here. What do you expect. It’s basically drunk or hangover food or if you don’t wanna pay another 35 for mains. They’re not gonna win any awards, but that’s not the point. It’s an all you can eat vegan buffet so yeah some might have been sitting there for a bit. Considering all of that it’s a good option. They have a nice selection or mock meats and veggies. Whenever I went there it was pretty fresh and I appreciate that I can pick whatever I like and don’t have to worry about stuff I don’t (not too keen on mushrooms and they pop up a lot in vegan dishes).

Not good at all :( - Edit
This was one of the only times I’ve walked out a place & left the food.
Read moreThe place seemed dirty, I had a bad feeling from the start. The food did not taste nice it did not seem fresh and was greasy.
Then I saw the review from other people saying the food had made them sick so I made my excuses and left
