I cannot believe how long I have lived round the corner from Eatzone and never eaten there. It has always appeared lifeless when I walked past so I never even thought of looking at the menu. However I gradually heard good words about it and started thinking maybe I should have a go...

...and tonight was the night. I've been ill for a few days and totally off my food (unheard of) so tonight was my 'I think I'd quite like to eat again' night and all I could think about was a big bowl of noodles. So off I went.

Still a bit spaced out from being poorly I looked at the menu, saw "char kwai teow" (£6.50), thought to myself "ate that in Malaysia; can't remember what it is but everything I ate in Malaysia was f*cking delicious", so picked that and some meat dumplings, because, well, when doesn't a meat dumpling perk you up?

There were a few people in there very contentedly eating big bowls of soup and mounds of fluffy white rice but there wasn't much of an atmosphere - well, why would there be in a white room with a few wooden benches - but who needs atmosphere for this kind of eating? I took my food away although I'd certainly go back there with a friend or a newspaper: can't say the staff were over-friendly but my food was ready in the time it took me to get to the cash machine and back.

And first meal in days or not, it was absolutely spot on. A generous helping of perfectly floppy, medium-thickness rice noodles, several enormous, meaty, curled-up prawns, thin strips of pork and a few bean sprouts, spring onions and some really tasty splatters of fried egg - and when do you ever say that about the egg you get in a takeaway? I literally could have been eating it in Malaysia, which is an extraordinary thing to say. The four steamed dumplings were plump and juicy and came with a zingy (sorry, awful word) dipping sauce for £4. Just what the doctored ordered. Which is good, because the first lot of antibiotics didn't work.

So I'd recommend a trip here wholeheartedly, it's excellent value and incredibly tasty and I'm rather pleased I'm moving away from K Town for a month because frankly, from now on I'm going to find it very hard to resist.]]> Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:39:24 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1v82d6w/eatzone-noodle-house/158ym71459666150 curlyfries malaysian cheap eat good value chinese thai 51.554205 -0.140375 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1v82d6w/eatzone-noodle-house/1g6mw8

Great food with a really authentic flavour, some of the best Malaysian food I have had in England. The menu is very reasonably priced and the service is good, either in the happily unpretentious cafe or with home delivery.]]> Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:09:25 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1v82d6w/eatzone-noodle-house/1g6mw8317114363 limbo_lover malaysian cheap eat good value 51.554205 -0.140375 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1v82d6w/eatzone-noodle-house/1z39q8

One of the best take-aways around Tufnell Park/North Kentish Town, Eat Zone offers a variety of Singaporean, Malayesian and generally south-east flavoured dishes. It's quite unique, as I'd never had Laksa before and quite enjoyed it. Very generous portions and you can easily feed four of you for about £20-£25.
Added bonus: I've bumnped into Julian Barratt twice when there. Unfortunately, I just managed a respectful node, which was reciprocated, but not much of a conversation. If you don't know who Julian Barratt is then please google him as you've been missing some great comedy from your lives.

If like me you are looking for a Singapore Laksa outside of Singapore then look no further! Eatzone Noodle House (pan-Asian restaurant, 18 Fortess Road, London, NW5 2HB) does an excellent Laksa which not only tastes great but is fantastic value too. If anyone knows of anywhere else in London that does a good Laksa be sure to let me know :) Now in someone else's words regarding Eatzone:

"The formula here is beautifully simple: bring your own booze, take a seat at one of the plain wooden benches, eat your fill of tasty, ludicrously inexpensive pan-Asian fast food and go."

PS I am also rather partial to their chicken satay starter before digging into my Laksa!
