Tried the all you can eat buffet at Big Bowl Noodle Bar and really enjoyed it. You get unlimited rice, noodles, braised pork, beef brisket and a few other options. All that for just £12.80. The beef brisket was my favourite, really tender and flavourful, and the chilli oil gave everything a nice kick.
There weren’t a lot of varieties but for that price it was well worth it. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Definitely a good spot everyone should try.- Meal type

Amazing discovery on Instagram.
Located in Central London just minutes away from the tube station.
You can get unlimited noodles and toppings for just £12.80
Not a huge amount of choice but I much prefer the authenticity and freshness.
The pork belly is definitely recommended. They have vegetarian option too.
The place is packed on weekends.
They also do a meal deal which is well recommended because their salads are just great, especially the black mushroom salad.- Food

The tomato scrambled eggs really taste like home. Both the noodles and rice dishes are great!
The tea eggs brought back so many memories too—they’re full of flavor! You can even get refills if you want more. It’s a great spot for a casual meal after work or finishing up a paper.

Great value all-you-can-eat buffet for £12.80. Unlimited rice, noodles, dishes, and toppings. The braised pork was delicious, and the sauces were very authentic. My whole family enjoyed the meal. Highly recommended!

This is the reasonable food price we can find in the city of London. Noodles or rice with all you can eat stir fried vegetables in Chinese style, pork belly and beef. You can get more noodles or rice until you full. I had pork belly with noodles and some vegetables which quite nice. Cost 12.8£ per person not include drink.
This self-serve noodle place in Holborn is an absolute gem! 💷 Just £12.8 per person with no service charge — and the best part? All you can eat! They also have a £16.8 meal deal, which includes the unlimited noodles from the £12.8 deal plus a side dish, a drink, and a marinated…More reviews

They also have a £16.8 meal deal, which includes the unlimited noodles from the £12.8 deal plus a side dish, a drink, and a marinated egg. Super tasty, super affordable — perfect for anyone living that busy London working life.
Great flavours, generous portions, and unbeatable value. Highly recommend!- Food

One of my go-to spots for a proper Chinese meal. The beef is super soft, the pork is amazing, and Itreally love the egg! So good. £16.8 for all that food is kind of insane. Way better than any bland supermarket meal deal.

My friends and I found this place on Instagram and decided to give it a try together. It’s an all you can eat Chinese noodle place. You basically pay for the bowl of noodle (or rice), then top it up with anything and everything you want, for as many times as you like. My friends and I went for three rounds and we were stuffed and could barely waddle out the door.
I’ve tried the brisket and pork belly which were both lovely. They also have the typical chicken and vegetable with homemade dishes like tomato and scrambled eggs. Of course I had to add spring onion, garlic, and chilli oil to top it all off. It was lovely and we would definitely be back again.- Meal type

Great home made ramen, many choices of toppings (from beef brisket to silky eggs). If you finish your noodles they give you free refills of everything. The price for this quantity and quality is really good.

Great spot near UCL for a hearty, affordable meal. £12.80 for handmade noodles or rice with a choice of toppings—and you can get free refills. Tastes homemade, generous portions, no service charge. Quick, filling, and good value for central London.

Very sweet vibes from the moment you step in as you’re greeted with a warm welcome from the staff and lovely calming music. Quite a few meat options as well as toppings (such as sliced cucumber, garlic coriander etc.) I love the option of the buffet!! It’s Definitely wise to come on an empty stomach so you can go for multiple rounds of bowls of irresistible food🤤

Amazing value for money. Noodles taste handmade, beef is soft and tender, the fat melts in your mouth. Aubergines were also very well done. I think you can't do egg and tomato buffet style because when you leave it out on a hot plate, the egg gets a little over cooked. Really satisfied with the variety and quality of the food given what you pay and will definitely be back.

Great place to eat especially for the price. Amazing value. Amazing quality. Just overall amazing. Cant go wrong. It's better when there's limited items that are quality rather than when there's like 20 items with no clear effort put into making them. I will be coming here again and bring friends to try this gem out.

I absolutely love the unlimited refills here! It's fantastic value, letting you eat as much as you like. For anyone working in the Farringdon area, this is definitely a top spot for lunch or a relaxed dinner after work!
