Foolishly I thought I'd give Putney Chopstix a second go and what a mistake that was! I had red Thai chicken curry which was cheap rubbish and tasted of nothing. Really all the food is dreadful and a total waste of money. Avoid.

I have been a customer of Chopstix since 2015 for Wood Green and Reading branches. I have moved to London and now eat at the newly opened centre at Croydon. On Saturday, Sep 30th I went to Brixton branch for lunch. The service was terrible. I asked for tap water, the lady was about to give me the water but upon manger's instruction the lady did not. I asked why is it so, they serve tap water at other branches and not here. The manager replied the machine is not working. After requesting water again he reluctantly gave me the bottle from the fridge. The customer service was awful. There were no chopstix. No salt sachets were see. I had to ask for it, later he removed it from the counter and gave it to me. Red spoons which indicate for non-veg dishes were put in vegetarian potato wedges. Overall, the centre looked like a family run store who were reluctant to do business rather than a brand happy to serve customers, very disappointed.

Today I went to Chopstix WoodGreen and was pleasantly surprised with Amber fantastic personality and professionalism. The food is absolutely fantastic and fresh and the other reason it is halal. Amber is an excellent wonderful courteous smiling lady who goes over and beyond to help you. I like the way she listens to you and advises you of what to have. Her personality is magnetic and she is such a brilliant employee for Chopstix WoodGreen. I hope the company truly promotes her and looks after in everyway. As you in the food industry, it is so difficult in my view to find someone like Amber. Keep up the amazing work Amber and definately a 5 star review to you. Saad Ali London, UK

I have visited this place and I don’t recommend it to anyone! I found a plastic fork piece in the noodles.. the service was absolutely disgusting. There was an older person before me in the que and he asked for separate boxes so that it doesn’t get soggy on the way, they said they will not do it because they have a policy of one box which makes no sense at all!

Fui a Chopstix el 9 de marzo de 2018 con mi hija. Hemos estado allí muchas veces antes de sentarnos y llevar, pero no desde los nuevos propietarios. Estábamos comiendo ayer. Al comenzar a comer la comida, me doy cuenta de que el sabor no era como en el pasado cuando comí allí. La comida tenía el sabor desagradable más desagradable, dejando un sabor muy gracioso en la boca. Mi hija también mencionó el mismo desagradable sabor en su boca. Tuvimos que tirar nuestra comida porque ya no podíamos comer. Para agregar, fue toda la comida, como probado en pedazos individuales y obtuve el mismo sabor horrible. Incluso después de tener jugos, el sabor permaneció. Al llegar a casa todavía estaba allí. ¿Qué le aconseja a su personal que ponga en la comida? Ciertamente no estaremos comiendo allí de nuevo. Has perdido dos clientes.

Pedimos dos medium size, aunque perfectamente podríamos haber pedido el small por la cantidad que era muy abundante. Los topping de pollo son deliciosos, principalmente el chicken caramel y ojo con el sweet chili thai porque pica al punto de hacer transpirar.

A long day visiting the sights of London.. We weren't very hungry as temperature was muggy, so opted for a light bite.. I remembered the noodle bar from previous years, so we decided to stop off.. A regular size box was far more than enough to fulfil our hunger pangs.. I chose the salt & pepper chicken, my daughters opted for the spicy chicken ( chilli kicks back) & vegetables.. Tasty & quick snack, worth a visit..

It’s a small restaurant with limited menu. So please limit your expectations as well or else you have many other restaurant serving a la carte at a high price near by.I sometimes wonder why people have to expect a lot for just few pounds they pay for their meal. According to me with the price 5.50 what these people charge is a beautiful price for the delicious combo they offer.The food is served in a disposable box 3 size I guess depends what you prefer. We usually go in for the triple combo 5.50 pounds. You can choose either rice or noodles as your base along with 2 gravies. All this is fitted in that box. Serving is good enough for one person.We like it a little spicy so the Thai curry and crispy chicken what they serve is just too good.Lot of seating area where you can relax and enjoy you meal. Staff is very friendly.Just a step away from subway station.Definitely can recommend.

My boyfriend and I had a quick, cheap lunch here mid-week when visiting the Natural History Museum. The food was really tasty, great value for money (you get 3 different food choices in a box for £5.50 and they give you a lot) and there was a lot to choose from. Drinks were an average price. Its in a great location next to South Kensington tube station. The service isn't great, no smiles or pleasantries from the staff and they're a little rude but this is fairly common in small, cheap restaurants in London. They also don't take card at the moment either. Having said this I would go again for a quick lunch if I was in the area.

There are many Chopstix Noodle bars but, the one I use is in Thurloe Street near South Kensington station. Whenever I'm in the area, with 30 mins the spare, I drop in to this place for a medium box of chicken noodles, caramel chicken and salt and pepper chicken - 3 items and a soda £6.50 - who can argue with that in South Kensington? Sure, the place ain't the Ritz. Sure, the service is "businesslike". Sure, you can only have what's available. Sure, you get to eat out of a cardboard box with a plastic spoon. But, it's tasty, flavoursome, filling, and beats the $hi7 out of MacDonalds.Shame on the reviewers who complain that it's not as good as noodle bars in the US - the clue is, it's not in the US! And, what's more, the staff don't expect a 20% tip. So, wake up and smell the Chopstix noodles - you won't go hungry if you eat here. But, just a word of warning - go easy with the chili oil (that's the stuff that lurks in a white bowl on the table looking innocent and tempting) any more than one spoonful, sparingly spread on your noodles, is guaranteed to destroy all feeling in your lips for at least 30 mins!

I'm not sure how many people will "get this" comparison, but Chopstix Noodle Bar is a low rent Panda Express. Also, I'm suspicious of restaurants who have cutesy misspellings in their names. My husband and I grabbed a quick lunch here prior to hitting the Natural History Museum. It's a westernized Chinese quick serve, where you pick your options and it's dished up in front of of you. I had orange chicken and chow mien. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. It's greasy fast-food. I had low expectations that were met. The restaurant is busy, but it's okay for a quick, cheap meal. There were a lot of college students here.Like my review? Check out my blog.

Per gli schizzinosi, sappiate che viene servito tutto nello stesso contenitore in carta! :) C'è qualche tavolino all'interno e sembra essere un buon compromesso per mangiare al coperto in modo spartano senza spendere troppo in una città cara come Londra.

If I could give this place a negative number of stars, I would.We went to this Chopstix near the London Eye because it appeared to be a quick, convenient place to get a bite to eat (self-serve buffet style Chinese cuisine) after a busy day of sightseeing.When we approached the counter to pay for the buffet, the first thing the gal said to us was, "We're closing soon". When asked how "soon", she replied in an hour as per the hours posted. We figured that for a fast food, buffet restaurant, an hour would be plenty of time, so we said we'd stay. She then proceeded to try and dissuade us by saying, "Well, we won't be putting any more food out, so you'd better take a look and see if it's okay." We took a look and there seemed to be plenty of food left at the warming tables, so we decided to stay. No sooner had we started eating, than staff members began cleaning out the warming trays, sweeping the floor and stacking chairs onto the tables!! This was with at least another 40 minutes left until their official closing time and with at least 8 or 9 groups of people still in the restaurant. I have never seen this done in a restaurant that is still officially open - done maybe after-hours when there might be a few stragglers left, but never when they are still supposed to be OPEN. By the time we went to take a look at available desserts (still a good 20 minutes left until closing), the food had all been consolidated into just a few trays, ready to be taken away. The staff were joking around with each other and one of the women (the manager?) was telling them to hurry up because she wanted to leave on time! It was obvious they were trying to get the few tables still in the establishment OUT. The staff have no clue about customer service. I'm sure the only reason they survive is because of the cheap price and the captive audience in a great London eye location.Horrible experience! Will never go back and will be warning others.

Came here on a whim as we starving and lured by the "All you can eat for £7.99" deal. Food didn't look bad, not much choice and not enough Oriental dishes (unless you count chips, hash brown, sausages, breaded fish and onion rings) to call itself an Oriental restaurant. The sweet and sour chicken tasted like orange squash and everything else was rather greasy. Staff were friendly enough but the place was quite dirty with half eaten food on the floor.Nice view of the Thames from the window though.Needless to say, we would not reccommend it.

I have been surprised by the volume of negative reviews this place has got, so I thought I would give my opinion.Firstly, you have to bear in mind exactly what Chopstix is doing. A chinese buffet, in central London, for 8 quid. Anywhere else in the country, that would be good value. Next to the London Eye, opposite the Houses of Parliament, that is unbelievable value for money. So if you are expecting high quality, look elsewhere.We stopped here for a quick bite to eat after going on the Eye. We wanted something quick and easy, and we got it. The food isn't going to win any awards, but we were all satisfied with it - the soup, when supplemented with some additional vegetables, was pretty good and the noodles were fine.If you need a quick refuelling stop on a busy day sightseeing, you could do worse than popping in here. If you want something more traditional and high quality, try Zen just around the corner.

wir waren am 13.07.12 dort. kurz bevor wir in diesen laden gegangen sind waren wir im sealife. danach hatten wir irgendwie hunger und dieses angebot kam uns echt gelegen.also, für den schnellen hunger ist es ok. liebevolle einrichtung oder ähnliches wird man dort nicht erwarten. das buffet war übersichtlich. es hätte gern mehr auswahl vorhanden sein können. aber im großen und ganzen war für jeden geschmack was dabei. service war freundlich aber irgendwie nicht ganz bei der sache. wie gesagt, für den preis kann man jetzt nicht sooo extrem viel erwarten. tische wurden sofort nach dem abräumen auch gereinigt. wir würden auf jeden fall nochmal dort hin gehen. :)

Well all I've got to say is that the food was disgusting!!! It was cold, and it all taste like pepper! Very poor service, only plus was that we got a full refund!!

We went about an hour before they closed (unknowingly to us) whilst we were 1/2 way through our food they switched all the lights off where we were until I complained as I couldn't see what we were eating so instead they turned all the chairs up on to the tables around us. When we complained she just shrugged her shoulders.. The food was very low end and luke warm. The following day all four of us had diohrea . Don't be tempted by the price and convenience go round the corner there are some stunning places in the road behind failing that go to soho.

Don't EVER go there! Trust me, they know exactly why they charge you before you take your first bite - you wouldn't even want to pay 1 penny afterwards! The only thing that was merely eatable were the mini spring rolls, and not even that was good. We didn't expect much, but as we were almost starving and only had half an hour before our ride on London Eye we thought it couldn't be that bad. But it was. Seriously. What you get there has nothing to do with food AT ALL.

Half term, crowds, hungry kids - it was handy and cheap - but that is about the best thing I can say about it.

We arrived at what i would call the lunchtime rush. The food was delicious and always hot. They never ran out of anything! It was a real bargain. Eat as much as you like for £7.99. You cant fault it. We really enjoyed it and service was always with a smile. They even provided fruit for afters!!!!

I strongly advise to avoid this place...the staff are incompetent. No card payment facility. The ATM didn’t dispense correct cash. The drinks are awful and the food is terrible at best ! Carlton Lounge is much better for Shesha and food and is in a much better setting, this place is more of a make-shift smokers den at the back of your garden...

I think this place might have closed now. I tried 4/5 to order over the phone then I went down in person but the place was closed. Feel sad that they've closed. Used to enjoy their food

Both times an average experience. Food first time had too much soya. Watch your arms as can be tight and you might get strangers banging your elbows. Top end of the menu expensive for lunch.
