Cookdaily - Tocache

I don’t think it would be wrong for me to say that I was a pretty die hard CookDaily fan, after frequently going to their BoxPark location, I followed them to their London Fields location and made the trek there with many of my friends and colleagues throughout there time there and even ordered from there on UberEats for our office lunches. My most recent trip to BoxPark after they moved there left a lot to be desired. Whilst the food itself was good, the price has increased significantly and at peak time, I waited almost half an hour for my food! Half an hour for a restaurant that claims to be fast food at a restaurant that has severely limited their offering. Even in BoxPark there are soooo many more tasty, vegan options that don’t even pretend to be fast food whilst still offering less than a 10 minute wait time at 1pm. Sorry, I think our love affair has come to an end.

The food was pretty good but the staff were really rude. Their internet was down so we had to go to an ATM to get cash. Our meal came to £21 and I didn't have any change so the woman serving us complained that I was taking all their change. Sorry, but it's not my fault that your internet is down. Our table was dirty so I had to ask for it to be cleaned. The woman serving was not happy despite the fact that the place was quiet and she was chatting to her co-worker. When our food was ready, our number was called out but both servers had their back to me so I had to ask if our food was ready and where to get cutlery. The server was quick to tell me where to put our dirty dishes when we're finished though. Shocking service and I will not be going back, which is a shame because the food is pretty tasty. The Victoria branch of Cool Daily is much better. The staff actually look you in the eye and smile at that branch. If you want to try Cook Daily, I would suggest you go to the Victoria location.

Management, please do something about the rude service! The food is great but you want to finish fast to avoid the awkward vibe and frankly annoying loud music. Not even the time to put my coat back on and was already being told to put away dishes and cutlery again, rude (and from other reviews it seems that's the norm)

Super awkward environment and poor design of the space. Theres no menus except for 20 pictures scattered on both walls, which means you need to creep over other diners to read the dishes . The menu prices aren't entirely clear either with the design of the place. Why not just display them where you order? Or have at least 1 menu? The cutlery is also hidden around the bar area and feels a bit like a scavenger hunt. Some tables are also right next to an uncomfortably hot, vent blowing hot air at you The reason I gave 2 stars instead of q is because the food is pretty good. The vegan chikn tastes similar maybe better? than the real thing. And I follow Dr gregors Daily Dozen so was able to check a handful of healthy veggies in one dish. And very tasty too. No clue what's in the chickn. Too much rice for sure , which gave it a Chinese takeout feel...but overall still good.
