This place was a nice change to most of the other establishments. They have the sub of the day deal which was Â£1.99 and the choice of subs changes everyday. The sandwich is made right before your eyes and you get to choose what the content of the salads are, right down to the sauce. If you are unsure, the staff usually makes some recommendations as to which is most suitable. Soft drinks are bottomless and if you have it with as a meal deal, pretty good value for money. They used to have the 2 sub meals for a fiver deal on a Sunday but recently that has been stopped. A pity really!This place was a nice change to most of the other establishments.

Subway is the home of sandwich lovers,Everyone who loves a good sandwich will agree with me when i say this is the best place to get your sandwiches from.I normally order a sandwich from here once a week.

They are expensive when it comes to sandwiches,You get to choose what bread you want for your sandwich.Their are 5 different choices for you,The sandwiches are quite rich in the taste as well.

Overall if you like sandwiches you really should be eating them here at Subway.Subway is the home of sandwich lovers,Everyone who loves a good sandwich will agree with me when i say this is the best place to get your sandwiches from.I normally order a sandwich from here once a week.

Snack bars are places where people love to come at,I certainly love this one for sure.You can get from a wide amount of different sandwiches and pasties along with good cold drinks as well all at good prices with an excellent value.

I came here last week with my mate,We both got big tuna sandwiches from here.The size of the sandwiches here are massive.We really do like the food here,its top notch quality.Snack bars are places where people love to come at,I certainly love this one for sure.You can get from a wide amount of different sandwiches and pasties along with good cold drinks as well all at good prices with an excellent value.

One sunny day I was wandering down Oxford st looking for some cheap food.

I really fancied Sushi for some reason, but knew there was no chance I would find anywhere cheap enough for my poor empty wallet.

Imagine my delight then, when I found Wasabi! I had never heard of the chain before, and at this point I think this was the only branch in London.

Wasabi now have a few branches all over, one near Liverpool st for example, and they all sell the same low priced sushi/sashimi, and hot food like satay and noodles.

I confess I haven't tried the hot food yet, even though it smells mouth watering (especially the Teriyaki) as I've always fallen for the delicious pick n mix style sushi.

It's self serve, and the pieces of sushi are individually wrapped, and are priced at 2 for Â£1, or 2 for Â£1.50, for everything from cucumber seaweed rolls, to squid and prawn. If you are careful, it's possible to fill up a whole tray for Â£5, or just blow the bank with sashimi, edamame, and well dressed japanese salads.

There is always a selection of interesting Japenese soft drinks, always worth a try for the adventure.

The only downside I can see is that as each piece is individually wrapped, your carbon footprint probably suffers every time you visit!One sunny day I was wandering down Oxford st looking for some cheap food.

Shelleys Sandwich Bar - Used to be good, but then it changed management by Weeboo

Shelleys used to be the best sandwich bar in Soho. Good quality food, fantastic range, not too pricey...all round good value. But then about 3-4 years ago it changed hands. On the face of it, it has the same range of food, same pricing and same long queue going out the door at lunchtime. But in my opinion, the food is greasier, not as well cooked. Service is poor and I'm not too keen on the hygiene (but that's probably because I like to see my sandwich prepared with gloved-hands).

Honestly, I just don't go there any more unless I'm really stuck for something and can't bear to face the queue for Make Mine. I wouldn't recommend Shelleys.Shelleys used to be the best sandwich bar in Soho. Good quality food, fantastic range, not too pricey...all round good value.

I'm a huge fan of Wrapid. Their wraps have become a definite daily
craving of mine and I would recommend it to anyone, whatever your
taste may be. I began with the chicken tikka wrap, wrapped in a
delicious flat bread naan. After that I was fascinated and hooked. The
menu extends out to a wide variety of global mouth watering flavours,
which include assorted pizza, Mexican, and Chinese stir-fry wraps, as
well as a very wide range in traditional British food.The full English
breakfast wrap is a must. Just when I thought I was full enough, I
came across the dessert menu. If sticky toffee pudding wrapped in a
crepe does not tempt anyone, then I don't know what does. Wrapid also
offers unique vegetarian options and fantastic student offers that you
simply cannot resist. The service was superb at Wrapid and there is
always a friendly face to help those indecisive minds.I'm a huge fan of Wrapid. Their wraps have become a definite daily

Ok - so the headline is theirs, but I like it.

Excellent hummus (I want their recipe), lovely toppings, my favourites are the ful and the chicken, fresh mint tea, hot spiced apple juice, aloe vera juice. I try not to be too greedy in there but I can't help myself. Free wifi (ehummus :-)

Fast, friendly, efficient, cheap, tasty, healthy - go there.

KFC - not the best kfc in the world by Dharminder

This is one of your more busy KFCs, due to its handy location. On the many occasions i have frequented this establishment the food quality has varied. The chicken tends to be a bit on the oily side and at peak hours (8pm+ on a friday, when you could find yourself in a queue for 5-10mins) also finding a table with a window view can be difficult (almost impossible)at these times. However on the positive side they don't charge for sauce.

Moral of the story is this, if you want a nice KFC i would recommend going out of central. however the smaller ones do tend to charge for sauce, which is bad in my books.This is one of your more busy KFCs, due to its handy location.
