Harden's survey result
Summary
“Authentic street food at great prices” makes this Vietnamese noodle bar one of the better cheap grazing options in Chelsea. The name translates as ‘happy Buddha’ – which would not have sold many T-shirts.
Summary
“Unique, authentic and to a high standard” – the tasty Vietnamese and Singaporean bowls at this street noodle bar present some of the best eating value in expensive Chelsea. A South East Asian counterpart to the ‘dirty burger’, the name apparently means ‘happy Buddha’ – and you can buy the T-shirt or cap to prove you’ve eaten here.
Summary
“Large portions of cheap, tasty food” gives this street-food operation rarity value in pricey Chelsea. “Nothing fancy, just really tasty Vietnamese noodles and soup, located below street level with an eating area under tents”. The name translates as “happy Buddha” – but that’s not why they sell branded T-shirts…
Summary
“Delicious Vietnamese street food” – almost certainly “the best” in this part of London – is found at this Chelsea noodle bar apparently meaning “happy Buddha”. The “scrumptious prawn laksa” is technically a Singaporean dish, but who gives a ph**?
