KATSU CURRY WITH MISO SOUP | WELLBEING KITCHEN | UP TO ...
food
It's a simple set-up with just a couple of tables, but the menu boasts classics such as kimchi stew with rice (£5.90), japchae (sweet potato starch noodles stir-fried with vegetables - £5.50) and tteokbokki (rice cakes and fish cakes with gochujang - £5.90).
Unlike lesser attempts easily found elsewhere, this katsu's cutlet kept its crunch well into the meal, flying in the face of its sweet curry bath.
But note: Wellbeing Kitchen are not kidding when they say large.
Only order if you can devour one and a half thick chicken cutlets, a heavy mountain of steamed white rice, and a free miso soup.
But for the really ambitious eaters, there are also many sides to choose from their fridge, such as seafood pancakes (£4.90) or kimchi and pork dumplings (£3.90).
THAI CHINESE VEGAN BUFFET | DOU DOU | UP TO £6.90 ...
food
There is a healthy alternative to Camden's chicken market stalls and fast food outlets, and it's called Dou Dou.
A Chinese and Thai-inspired restaurant, these guys serve nothing but vegan dishes buffet style, all day every day, for the princely sum of £5.90 for lunch, or £6.90 for dinner and weekends.
All the flavours you'd expect to see here are well represented, but through the medium of vegetables, grains and pulses.
Whilst the food may be vegan, it certainly does not lack in flavour or choice.
You get two hours free reign for your money, and with starters that include soup, around 15 buffet dishes, and dessert in the form of fresh fruit, you won't struggle to eat your fill.
Itsu, 76 New Oxford Street, London - Take Away Food Shops near ...

Itsu does not take reservations, but kindly asks their guests to entertain themselves in the bar area whilst waiting for a table.
Naru | Restaurants in Covent Garden, London
food
Naru puts more emphasis on cheffy presentation than most Korean restaurants, with zigzagged sauces and stacked ingredients.
It’s not a matter of style over substance, though – this is a solid venue for quality Korean classics, with a few innovative touches.
The kalbi beef in our set lunch arrived medium-rare.
The lunch also included miyeokguk, a nutritious broth packed with seaweed, as well as sticky rice, crunchy spinach with sesame namul, and lightly pickled radish kimchi – for £13.50.
Unusually, barley tea isn’t available, though Korean beer is.
Wellbeing Kitchen | Restaurants in Covent Garden, London
food value
There's nothing flashy about this low-budget Korean café near Centre Point – it’s a simple setup, akin to a sandwich bar, with a handful of wipe-clean tables and a takeaway cabinet of salads and drinks.
However, thanks to a busy chef tending to bubbling pots behind the counter, Wellbeing Kitchen offers a surprisingly long and diverse menu of Korean favourites, all a cut above in quality and flavour, plus some welcome Japanese interlopers.
Our soondooboo jjigae (£4.90), the quintessential spicy Korean soup with chilli-hot kimchi, fresh vegetables and tofu, had great depth of flavour, while duk mandoo gook (£4.90), a milky-coloured soup filled with discs of chewy rice pasta and ravioli-like dumplings, had delicious stock, and was a subtly seasoned respite from the fiery soondooboo.
An impeccable rendition of Japanese chicken katsu (£5.50) boasted crunchy-coated meat and a sweetly spiced, earthy sauce, while hoe-deopbap (steamed rice with raw fish and vegetables; £6.90) featured generous strips of tuna and salmon sashimi, crisp vegetables and delicious seasoning.
But cheap Korean food in this part of the West End is par for the course (even with the Crossrail development putting paid to St Giles High Street’s Koreatown).
