I must confess I am not fussy when it comes to food but of course as a good Italian I like to eat well and spend little and these are some of my favorite choices:
Wagamama a cool canteen style Japanese noodle bar with branches throughout London which provide a successful formula: quick and tasty food at decent prices . My choice: n.40 yaki soba, delicious soba noodles with a bit of everything including chicken, shrimps and obv garnished with a touch of pickled ginger
Busaba Eathai a minimal décor on the same style as Wagamama where you share big wooden tables with others diners but I will say a slightly bit more stylish . Yummy Thai dishes from curries to coconut soups. Bear in mind that there are only few branches: one on Wardour St in Soho, one in 22 Store Street in Bloomsbury and one in Bird Street near Bond Street tube.
Expect to see a long queue, or not too sure if happened only to me, but despite the appearance you will not wait for long especially if you are only in two and it worth the wait
La Porchetta Pizzeria Handy branch just down my street in Finsbury Park, but I know have other pizzeria in Camden and Islington, it is a welcoming Italian restaurant. It gets pretty crowded over the weekend and the service is friendly and often Italian so we have a good chat with. Delicious pizza like you would expect from Italy, the only upside down they don’t have the real Porchetta ham which is a shame as the name is recall in it and I must admit I was a bit upset on my first visit as I couldn’t wait to order one but eih the pizza are good and huge like the pasta, which even I couldn’t finish it and even better cheap (a pizza and drink easily with £10). Expect to be a bit “noisy” especially if there would be some celebrations going on (the things they do with dough and pizza trays have to be experienced) and as habitué sometimes we get complimentary limoncello.
Kulu Kulu Sushi in Brewer Street a hidden eateries. Conveyor belt style sushi bar with Spartan décor but the food is excellent value, between £2.50 to £4.50 per dish, and great!
I have been there with my sister-in-law and my little 7 years old nice, which are truly fussy and not used to “unusual” food except for Italian cuisine, and surprisingly they ate even more than me which is pretty difficult!
Great location too just behind Picadilly Circus but tiny place so not a good place for big groups (I reckon it could host only 20-30 pax max) and be prepare to leave your place within one hour which give you in any case plenty of time to enjoy your meal.
Inamo a new Hi-tech Pan-Asian restaurant is Soho which to be honest with you I haven’t try out as just open this month but I am keen to do so promptly. Great review already about the place where you have fun by order through a interactive touch system at the table, quite curious, and you can also personalise the décor of your table by choosing from a range of patterns and colours or even spy on the kitchen via a webcam. The table can even order taxis for you and show you bus maps.
Woody Grill in Camden Town a minute from Camden tube is an excellent place where I have enjoyed many and many kebab. You could seat down, they recently add some nice seats downstairs or even upstairs, or take away. Great also for night out; I am not sure at what time is closing down but I am certain we stopped by some Saturday nights at very late indeed.
