Tao Buffet - City of London,Westminster

Just around the corner from the Japan Centre and Piccadilly Circus, Tao Buffet is a handy find indeed. A small ~15 seater) buffet spot serving fresh Chinese and Thai veggie food. This is very good value for money and the sweet ginger tea is great!

Cheap and cheerful setting with tasty vegan buffet food, hot and cold, soya and vegetable dishes. Plenty of choice, tasted good and was continuously being refilled so it all tasted freshly prepared. The only downside is how small it was so we were quite packed in right next to other people. Very reasonably priced, you get a good meal for low cost.

Tucked away in a lane in the theatre district near Piccadilly Circus is this small buffet restaurant. It serves very fresh Asian (Chinese mostly) fare on a well presented and attractive buffet. For £5.50 you can have a selection of lightly cooked Asian dishes and salads with a fresh fruit salad for dessert. Other than this, there are non dairy drinkls such as teas.My only reservation was that the buffet does not have a hygiene guard so prevent contamination, but the wait staff were constantly busy spraying surfaces and the cafe is neat and clean. The dishes are attractively displayed and contain quality ingredients. If you are in the area I heartily recommend Tao Buffet. It opens at 12 noon and take away boxes are available for even less than the sit down charge.

We had a late lunch here in April 2014. We were the only customers when we arrived and the young woman who seated us was friendly and professional. Unfortunately the service after that was downright rude. The waitress sighed and clearly wished we weren't there. The reason I give it 4 stars is the fact that it was fully vegetarian (which was what we were looking for) and the price was good. A big selection of hot and cold buffet dishes, some better than others. I would go back for the food, but if the service was that bad again, it would be the last time.

This eating house firstly has unbelievable food lovely girls serving and tea and drinks to die for simplicity itself and such good value its cash oonly and so it should be they offer great food without MSG and at fair prices good prices considerate price.fast service gentle honest and wonderful vegan place I just absolutely fell in lonve with the place.
