Authentic Vietnamese restaurant
If you like Vietnamese food you are going to love this restaurant! It's a medium sized restaurant which has two floors and is located near to Old Street underground station. The decor is relatively plain but the food and the service is excellent. I'd highly recommend the Vietnamese pancake and the Pho. The only downside to this restaurant is that it can get very busy and so it may be an idea to book in advance if you're going to eat at peak times. The prices of the food at this restaurant are reasonable.
Overall I'd highly recommend this restaurant!

Great place for coffee
This is a fantastic place for coffee with your friends or even for having a relaxing coffee on your own. The place itself is clean and tidy and the service is generally good. This coffee house has both an upstairs area for hanging out with a few tables available, and a downstairs where there are plenty of tables available and even a couple of sofas! There is also an outside area with tables and chairs which is particularly nice in the Summer.
The quality of the coffee is good and the prices are reasonable. For example, a Primo Americano is only about £2 and caramel shortbread is approximately £1.50
Overall I would highly recommend this coffee house.

Delicious Thai food
This restaurant serves delicious authentic Thai food. It is located close to Limehouse Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and there are plenty of buses serving this area too. The restaurant is small and the decor is quite plain but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. The service is good and the staff are polite and helpful. The price of the food is reasonable and they do have special prices for the lunchtime menu and, at the time, in the evening they had an offer for about £15 where you could eat as much as you like!
Overall I'd recommend this restaurant.

Recommended for a visit
The Imperial War Museum is housed in an impressive building that is located close to Lambeth North underground station. A day can easily be spent at this museum but I'd suggest, as entry is free, to spend a half-day here and come back to see the rest another time. The display of tanks and aircraft is impressive and the holocaust exhibition is particularly interesting but you will need to put aside maybe a couple of hours if you want to go through the exhibition thoroughly. The Imperial War Museum does have a cafe if you need a break!
Overall I'd highly recommend this museum.

Good food to take out!
This takeaway is clean and tidy and the staff are polite and efficient.
There's a good selection of Japanese food and it's authentic and tasty.
The restaurant is fairly central and ideal for grabbing a quick bite during your shopping trips in the West End.
The only negative points to this takeaway is that some of the dishes are left sitting around all day stewing away, plus the prices of this takeaway are rather high for what you get compared to some other Japanese sushi bars.
Overall I'd recommend this place if you'd like something healthy and satisfying to take away.

Greasy Joes!
This is a cheap and cheerful noodle bar.
The service is efficient and the decor is basic. The menu is very limited and not particularly imaginative.
I have tried several items on the menu and the food is generally very greasy and the meat dishes contain very little meat!
The restaurant is small but the tables are well spaced out and you do not have to share them.
This restaurant is very central and therefore close to all the nightlife.
This restaurant is only recommended if you want a quick bite to eat and you're not too worried about eating healthily!

Cheap as chips!
How should I start? Well, if you are strapped for cash and you want a 3 course meal and not that concerned about the ambience of the place then this is definitely the restaurant for you!
The restaurant can get crowded at peak times and the service is polite but a little slow at times. The decor is plain and the tables are packed fairly close together.
The menu is basic and the food is fairly plain but the low low prices are the main attraction of this restaurant. Another benefit with this restaurant is that it is very central and therefore near to all the nightlife.

Great Dim Sum
One of my favourite Chinese restaurants for Dim Sum.
This is a very spacious restaurant consisting of three floors and the tables are nicely spaced out.
The restaurant can get very busy at peak times and sometimes you may have to wait a while to get seated. The decor is pleasant, the service polite and the restaurant feels fairly up market.
If you like Dim Sum then this restaurant is a must and the dishes are good quality and reasonably priced.
But please note that the food from the a la carte menu can be expensive compared to the Dim Sum prices.

Not bad!
I've eaten in this restaurant on many occasions and have found the food to be generally authentic and the portions to be adequate. The prices of the food are reasonable. The service is friendly but things can be a little slow at times. The decor is plain and maybe a little shoddy. The tables are not shared and the restaurant overall has a romantic feel to it.
It's worth noting that the lunch menu is cheaper than the dinner one and that they give a 15% discount on the menu price all day on Sunday.
If you enjoy authentic Malaysian food at a reasonable price then this restaurant is for you.

Cafe Hmmmmm
The menu contains a large selection of international dishes. The service was polite enough although there was a little bit of a wait for our food. I didn't find the food to be that tasty or well cooked, but the main attraction with this place is the cost of a meal, it's very cheap!
Another attraction is that you don't have to share your table with other people so at least you can have a private conversation with your friend or partner without people overhearing what is being said.
The restaurant is very central so it's near to where all the nightlife is.
