Food is terrible. Don't expect chinese food of any description. They sell slop to drunk people from the tube. I was really annoyed when I opened the take away carton to find a snide attempt at food prepared for someone who they thought was a drunk.Food is terrible.

Avoid this take away/delivery joint. The customer service form the very first call is rude. The delivery driver is miserable and doesn't give you change unless you ask for it! Then you will get inside and expect your food which you have already paid for then you will see part of the order is missing! When calling the restaurant to advise them you not only get abuse but they expect you to make another order before they are prepared to refund you part of your money!! The worst thing is the pizza was cold and far from nice!!!! Disgusted!Avoid this take away/delivery joint. The customer service form the very first call is rude.

This is of course another of Burger King's countless chains of restaurants all over the country. The staff are all pretty young, probably part time over term time, or just finished GCSEs. All are courteous and greets you with a smile. Food and drinks are the usual Burger King fare. Taste pretty much the same as all the other branches that I have been to. Favourite of all is still the Chicken Royale which as far as I'm concerned beats all the other fast food establishment's chicken sandwich hands down. There is of course the onion ring to go with it; never fails to satisfy.This is of course another of Burger King's countless chains of restaurants all over the country.

You cannot go wrong with this place! Best donuts ever invented. The only place you can get better is to wait for it to be made "fresh" in the Harrods branch. The donuts are not cheap, over a pound each. Much cheaper if like me, you have a group of big eaters and you go for the double dozen, which works out at something like 50p per donut, which still more expensive compared to the usual supermarket fare. But what you do pay for is quality. You have the choice of the original glazed and they keep coming up with new flavours for the others.You cannot go wrong with this place! Best donuts ever invented.

This is one of my favourite places to go, not necessarily because of the high quality of fish and chips (though they are very good), but because of the couple who run the place. I used to live around the corner and they've been there for years. They really like to interact with their customers and are part of the community feel of the place-- some of the friendlist people I've met in London.

It's a cut above the fish and chips at a kebab shop and they very clearly enjoy what they do, which makes getting my fish and chips there a delight!This is one of my favourite places to go, not necessarily because of the high quality of fish and chips (though they are very good), but because of the couple who run the place.

If you haven't visited the surroundings of Canary Wharf underground station, I would strongly recommend it as a day out. It simply is the best shopping centre, especially for stocking up on formal clothes for work.

Better still, there are LOTS of Pret a Mangers in the shopping centre!!!

I always like Pret food - in fact they are my overall favourite coffee shop, based on good (not outstanding, but good) coffee combined with excellent food. (I think Caffe Nero and Abokado do better coffee, but Pret has a far better range of food). And where on earth do Pret get their staff? As a connoisseur of coffee shops, I remain convinced that Pret staff are far nicer, and more friendly, than any other coffee shop.If you haven't visited the surroundings of Canary Wharf underground station, I would strongly recommend it as a day out.
