Red Box Noodle Bar

Pros:

- Quite cheap for what you get in quality and quantity.
- Quick service
- Lots of options
- good gyozas!

Cons:

- the beef in the noodles was bad quality, I had a bit then threw out the rest and just ate the noodles and veggies
- the chicken skewer didn’t come on a skewer ? And it wasn’t the best chicken, but still edible.
- fortune cookies smelled so bad (plastic, processed)
The Shawarma House

So while I’ve had the shawerma here, it was a while ago, and I’m not going to review it. I’ve been here a few times, and while the service didn’t leave me enchanted, I didn’t run into anyone rude.

I’m reviewing the kebab, I really love it. The chips are always so tasty and wet (in a good way), the meat itself is very nice. It’s not perfect, but considering we’re in the UK, it’s a really good kebab.

There was this one time when I ordered a full kebab platter, but it was late at night and I assume they had run out of all the ingredients, so I didn’t get the exact order I wanted. But they made up for it with extra food I didn’t order, so that was nice.

Possibly the worst hot dog I’ve ever had. Ordered a chilli dog, it arrived with this mystery sludge mushy meat. Could barely finish it, and I was starving.

The onion rings were still raw on the inside.

The chips were very dry and came with the usual plastic “cheese”.
Artisan Cheesecakes

The cheesecake was delicious, although the truffles were rock hard and insipid.

Bagel was decent, nothing groundbreaking, but I appreciated the proper bagel chewy texture.

Definitely going to try it again at some point.
