Riverside Terrace Cafe in Lambeth

Claimed it closed at 6pm. Perfect, we thought, as we had a dinner booking next door at 6. We arrived at 5.40 and ordered 3 coffees. At 5.45 they unceremoniously threw us out as they were closing. No 5-minute warning, just LEAVE. Hadn't even been able to start the coffee as it was too hot. Other customers received the same treatment. If you close at 5.45, say you close at 5.45. Don't lie and say you close at 6.

I wanted a snack before the concert I had come to see, and ordered a ham hock and cheese toastie. I really wish I hadn't. It was made with the cheapest white bread there is - so glutinous that it stuck to my teeth. The toastie was barely half full, with dry shredded pieces of ham, and cheese I could barely taste. It cost £6, and I felt cheated that I had paid that much for what was effectively two slices of white toast. The tables were dirty, and full of other people's abandoned meals. I love the Royal Festival Hall, and often go to concerts there. But I won't ever eat again at the Riverside Cafe. Shame ... the cafe overlooks the river, and could be glorious. What a missed opportunity.

On family trip out to London we stopped for lunch, the food was good but the people serving were so unpleasant it spoilt experience. The lady that served me said about 2 words despite me having a question, she looked fed up and off putting, another lady was the same too. Shame, would not go back. :(

Up in town for a family day out we were looking for somewhere that wasn't till crowded. Came across the Riverside Terrace cafe and wished we hadn't. Stood in line and waited almost ten minute while the server made someone a coffee at snail's pace. Good choices were extremely limited, ie non-existent. There were a few small sandwiches and wraps, but one of our party complained that the bread was stale. The pizza slices looked interesting, but when I bit into mine I realised there was no pizza made, just bread, and it was stale. All that for a £6 slice! The two serving staff appeared not to have the benefit of the power of speech, which made the experience more unpleasant. I'd rather be ripped off at one of the tourist burger stalks than eat this muck again. Drinks are served from a kiosk out on the terrace. Much better and the ale was lovely, but not cheap.

The owners / HMG have just spent zillions refurbishing this landmark complex. What about this Cafe? Glorious position, so disappointing. After a long day walking the streets and enjoying Tate Modern it was a convenient place to collapse before dinner @ Brasserie Blanc. I queued for ages to be served despite at least 7 staff behind the counter / running the kitchen. The Pain au Raison was delicious and appeared to be fresh - at 3.00pm. But the Coffee, a Cortado, was really disappointing. Both served in cardboard - this isn't a roadside 'greasy spoon'. The coffee was far too hot - almost Tea temperature! Coffee made too hot ruins the flavour - irrespective of the quality of the beans you start off with. SOOOO crowded. I could not find a table so just managed a Chair by the window. Rummaged around for a second one when my wife joined me. Disappointing. Hayling Seagoon

I don't normally write reviews and if I make the effort it's usually because I want to leave positive comments, so this is a first for me. I was so pleased to be back at the Royal Festival Hall and looked forward to coffee and a snack pre concert. Sadly the cafe is not run by the same people from before the pandemic. My husband and I have been three or four times now and we have decided to just buy coffee from now on because the food was so awful. Last time I bought a Sliced Plum Crumble Slice. It wasn't quite cooked enough and it tasted terrible. I had one bite and threw the rest away. The staff are pleasant enough but the service is much slower than in the past and it's not obvious why because it's not always super busy when we have been there. What a disappointment.

Visited the cafe indoors and counted six staff but so, so slow. The managers must be losing money because I cannot be the only customer who just gave up. There are two tills and one staff member at each but that leaves just four staff to supply the orders. That would not matter if the staff had any sense of urgency. I thought, I am not going to commit money and then have to wait twenty minutes for a pizza slice to be picked and heated. At one point a staff member came out to explain the queuing system...why not have simple signage? Sadly there is no zero rating available

Paid but waiting for a cup of tea. There is no system whatsoever. Had to remind them. Only order if you have the patience of a saint. Won’t be back

Visited terrace on Sat terrace stuards Felix and Bright were fantastic polite amicable gave me some corner seat. Thank you will be back again Sukh

So I've been to this cafe a few times...tables are disgusting..so sunday just gone and the sunday before I visited (work) I had a tuna sandwich, within half hour I was sitting on the loo..sunday gone I had a tuna sandwich..some 6 hours later I was in the bathroom as my body was expelling my full stomach contents from both ends!! Thank God my bath is next to my toilet..3 days later I'm still suffering!!!

Some friends and I had some drinks at Riverside Terrace Cafe on a Tuesday evening. It was a sunny day so we were able to enjoy our drinks outside. The cafe was very busy but we managed to get a table, it's a lovely setting next to the river. There's a lot of indoor seating for when the weather isn't so nice as well. Prices were a bit expensive but perhaps you're paying for the location. Service was good.

Sorry to say that I did not enjoy the cold noodle salad (be warned; it’s full of raw onions) and the pizza slices were luke warm and rather overpriced. I’m also a bit despairing at the use of disposable containers and did not see where to recycle them. If you walk outside the building around the corner there are numerous and reasonably priced street food stalls - wish I’d done that first!

This South Bank Centre eaterie is the pits. The broccoli & cauliflower cheese dish was so bad I threw it away after one bite. Tasteless gunk which defies description. The usual offerings are stale, unnapetising and unchanging - tuna or cheese sandwiches, super expensive soft drinks, over - salted soups. The only light is the centre itself. Over looking the Thames - great location !

We called in for coffee before visiting the London Eye. There is a large terrace with views of the Thames and plenty of seating. As previous reviews have mentioned, the cups are disposable, but we left them in a recycling bag. We only had drinks but there was an interesting range of cakes...maybe next time...

Perfect place really for a café. Right on the South Bank with views of the river. A decent cuppa, decent size (hard to find in London!) and nice food too. I've docked a star because all the drinks are served in disposable cups, which is fine I guess, but re-usable ones would be a bit more friendly to the environment.

Esta fue la peor comida que mi esposo y yo hemos tenido en un tiempo muy largo. La v pequeña porción de pizza prácticamente no tenía cobertura y estaba seca y horrible. Tuve el brócoli y el queso coliflor donde las verduras eran papilla y la salsa con poco queso para ser probado. ¡Y aunque hayan sido buenos, no ofrecen valor!

He estado allí el sábado pasado para el té de la tarde. El lugar estaba casi vacío, pero tardaron una eternidad en sentarme. Para realizar mi pedido se tardaron otros 20 minutos, aunque había 3 (!!!) Meseros alrededor. Tuve que saltar y preguntar si finalmente pude hacer mi pedido y que me atendieran. La comida era buena, 17 para la experiencia del té de la tarde tiene una buena relación calidad-precio.

Visiting from south England..customer service not good. Can't tell me what's vegan/vegetarian..Clearly couldn't be bothered

If you're looking for a cafe to sit and work at while looking over the Thames, this is the place. Simple takeaway food, a lot of tables and wifi. Perfect.

Fuimos a este lugar cuando estábamos viendo un concierto y teníamos hambre. Al llegar, solo fuimos a ver lo que estaba en exhibición y el cajero de caballeros nos dijo groseramente que necesitábamos hacer cola. Dijimos que estábamos mirando primero y no haciendo cola en primer lugar. De todos modos, decidimos lo que queríamos y nos dirigimos al final de la línea. Nos atendió una joven que era muy amable y tenía un excelente servicio al cliente. Sin embargo, junto a nosotros había un grupo de personas atendidas por el grosero caballero en la caja. Estaba completamente podrido y no tenía servicio al cliente y se veía bastante enojado con ellos. Como el lugar estaba bastante ocupado, tuvimos que compartir la mesa con el mismo grupo de personas y charlar con ellos. Dije que me di cuenta de que el cajero de caballeros era malo y grosero y dijeron exactamente lo mismo.

We stopped here for sandwiches, drinks and crisps for lunch on the bank holiday Monday. Staff were lovely, food fresh, eating area clean and plenty of tables inside and out. Think it was about £20 for family of three’s lunch which is probably about right.

Disfrutamos de una ensalada de pollo y Quinoa aquí después de un paseo por Covent Garden y el río Támesis. La ensalada estaba deliciosa y así fue el yogur griego con miel y plátano mezcladas QUE ME DIERON. Mi familia y yo fuimos para atún sándwiches y mi madre como fresco que era. La comida está bien pero básico, práctico lugar para el almuerzo.

Hemos utilizado este café muchas veces antes cuando asistíamos a conciertos en el RFH, pero esta visita en particular fue solo aleatoria al pasar un fin de semana. El salón abre a las 10. 00 y estábamos en el Riverside solo unos minutos después de ese momento, ¡e incluso entonces estaba empezando a estar ocupado! El café ofrece una gran vista del paso del tráfico fluvial, así como la observación de personas. La comida es de buena calidad y no se puede criticar, pero es cara para lo que es.

La carne en guinness hotpot y verduras calientes al curry eran absolutamente encantador, las porciones eran grandes y de gran calidad. Un montón de piezas tiernas de carne y puré cremoso. Esto fue sorprendente ya que vienen en ollas desechables con tapas y cubiertos de plástico. Increíble valor en 5. 50 y 4. 50 respectivamente. La pizza margherita fue decepcionante, un poco blanda y no muy sabrosa. Entorno precioso con los árboles de Navidad bellamente decorados en la terraza exterior. Lo recomendaría y también regresaría. Sin embargo, la seguridad debería detener a los mendigos acercándose a las mesas.

Cogí una envoltura de la pantalla, antes de un evento relajado noche. De cerdo con salsa de vestidor y algunas verduras. Todo estaba atado y poco de carne, para empezar, pero que bien podría haber sido una bendición - más tarde esa noche, comencé encontraba, por desgracia, y tenía un malestar de estómago durante un par de días. Obviamente, no es posible decir que el 100% de envoltura era la causa, pero la sincronización parece justo. Igualmente, no es posible decir 100% que no fue la envoltura. Yo diría que todo fue que no era particularmente agradable para comer, pero casi no se puede llevar y decir que no te gusta el sabor, puedes. . Supongo que había estado sentado en la pantalla por un tiempo. Lección aprendida. :

Genial tener más de una opción. Opciones frías y calientes Tenía un bocadillo de pan plano, increíble pan sabroso por dentro, pero un poco seco para mi gusto. Sin embargo, todavía me encantó el lugar. asientos abundantes por dentro y por fuera y una agradable atmósfera fría mientras espera un evento nocturno. El personal es muy amable y los precios son muy razonables para Londres

テムズ川の河岸に展開しているカフェです。場所柄、観光客が多かったですが、雨のせいか、さほどの混雑はありませんでした。食事メニューも充実してています。

Labelled vegan stuff in the fridge from wraps to cous cous pots! I had a tabbouleh wrap which was amazing and the flatbread was one of the best I'd ever had! Great to go options for vegans in London!

Paramos para un almuerzo rápido mientras en nuestra excursión. Tienen una gran variedad de comida fría, y algo de comida caliente. Fui para la olla caliente todos los días, que era el cordero y verduras. Me gusta un estofado. Estuvo muy bien, le faltaba sal. El personal era amable y acogedor. No ducharse. Es abajo y fuera del camino, pero estaba limpio y ordenado.

It was a beautiful sunny evening and we had been dancing all afternoon and fancied a drink. Had a glass of Prossecco each. It came in chipped plastic drinking vessels. It was flat. It wasn't worth it for £6.95. Even for the location. Never again.

Mi parada habitual entre Waterloo (5 minutos andando) y una reunión ordinaria en Pall Mall (20 minutos andando). Esta es la ubicación con vistas al Támesis. Hacía demasiado frío para sentarse en la terraza, pero había un montón de asientos en el calor en el...

Me encanta este lugar, es acogedor, incluido, activa con actividades culturales y diversidad, cálidamente abrazando a toda la humanidad. Qué ambiente maravilloso en el que reunirse, conversar y compartir la experiencia de estar en Londres. Aunque no todo siempre es perfecto (sabes, a veces los...

Con la familia o amigo es realmente genial al asiento y ni siquiera pueden pasar el día completo, ya que es en riverside y muy encantador.

Having gone low Carb since my last visit the Free Range Chicken salad at £5.75 was exactly what I needed. Its presentation belied the contents which were good quality and surprisingly filling. Accompanied by a 330ml bottle of Diet Coke (£2.25) this was just what I needed for a quick pit stop. Perhaps unusually for October I could this time sit in the sun overlooking the Thames. What made this completely different was that built in to the Terrace Café was a live orchestra performing for BBC Radio 3. Brilliant. Where can one get such culture and lunch for a mere £8. Brilliant. I just wished I had left more than half an hour before racing off to Pall Mall for a meeting. I should not forget the excellent waiter/server who rushed off to find me ice for my coke. A great level of personal service.

The food in here good, excellent position on Thames side, lots of other attractions within walking distance.

Decided to stop for a coffee and cake at the cafe. I ordered a slice of lemon and poppy seed cake. Big mistake. The cake was completely stale and was not fit for human consumption. I complained but the staff weren't overly apologetic. Very disappointing for the south bank.

Never again ... paid £8 each for a glass of watery white wine served slightly chilled, in a soft plastic cup, just like those from a water cooler. Real rip-off tourist trap, which is a shame, as we have drunk inside the Royal Festival Hall in the past and been more than satisfied!

O local é bem bacana e confortável.As opções de café, doces e salgados são várias e a qualidade muito boa.Recomendo

Passez votre chemin... café tout ce qu'il y a de plus industriel ! aucun charme, un café de supermarché !

This continues to be a meeting point for a myriad of nationalities of all ages. This time I was not rushing as SW trains had delivered me to nearby Waterloo ahead of anticipated time. I found a window seat in prime position - despite being May there was a slightly sharp temperature that precluded the terrace option - next time. I consumed my usual sandwich as water taxis fought the Thames' tide, planes stacked overhead circling Heathrow and the Post Office Tower peeked between the older classic architecture. Refreshed it was on to a meeting across the stylish footbridge to Charing Cross. This place is still a great magnet in a perfect position.

We got up on a beautiful Monday morning after a night at the Festival Hall and decided to see more of the South bank Centre. We came to this cafe with plenty of outside seating and couldn't resist. The staff were friendly and helpful, there was a good choice of food at reasonable prices. We sat looking out at the river. All positive apart from when an undesirable man was ignored by security. So we left and carried on walking along the river. Delightful.

Lots of seats in and outside, reasonably priced wine and a good choice of sandwiches, soups and cold meats. Lots of people bustling around and being joyous as it is riverside but very civilised.

We wanted a quick lunch before visiting the Sea Life Aquarium. The Royal Festival Hall cafe provided an excellent hot lunch. Thai curry v good. Very busy but service was efficient. Bonus of a saxophone quartet playing nearby. Recommended..

Don't eat here food dreadful staff rude and very unhelpful cafe run by company of cooks more likely the company of kitchen helpers

Well, this WAS a pleasant surprise! Gone (apparently) is the old menu and grumpy staff who gave the impression they were doing you a whole favour to serve you - and in comes a much improved canteen style menu offering (what I had) a terrific vegetable and barley soup with a chunky piece of sourdough (and butter portion) at £4.50. This choice apparently varies and everything is much more reasonably priced. Compared to the awful offerings next door at the BFI, you're much better off opting for this place; possibly even more so than the concessions downstairs since you get that fabulous view! The previous caterring was 'ambitiously priced' and much less inspired than now! When (if?) the weather improves, you can sit outside and watch the river and people go by. Ideal for a lunch stop. Great stuff guys!

Gostei muito de tudo, tudo estava muito bom...muito gostoso... so que os pratos não são muitos baratos

The food here is variable. Salads can be delicious and fresh. However the cakes are always a disappointment.It's quite daring but some things leave a nasty taste in the mouth

I have visited the Riverside Terrace Cafe a few times when I'm in London catching up with friends from my university days fifty (!) years ago. It's a terrific venue, great views, good range of food at reasonable prices, and I like the self-service tea and coffee. It's a busy place but staff are always friendly, pleasant and very helpful as I have mobility problems. I like the fact you can stay all day to chat with friends and/or family without any pressure from staff, except efficient clean-up service. I really enjoy this venue, because it's a pleasant, laid-back place to catch up with friends and food which is well-priced and a very varied menu. Highly recommended.

Today it was too cold to sit on the terrace but there were still plenty of seats for my rapid lunch. A 330ml bottle of diet coke (£2.25) was accompanied by a delicious sandwich (£4.50). So a whole London lunch for £6.75 - beat that! The sandwich was defined by the fresh bread which is baked every day. The plum chutney went perfectly with thr cheddar cheese. The USP was that in front of me was the Thames shimmering in the sunlight, and behind an excellent children's gospel choir singing their little hearts out. A great atmosphere.

I've been several times recently; always at or around lunchtimes. It's always busy, a good sign, but there are plenty of tables and seating all with terrific views over the Thames. The service is quick, food and drinks all good stuff.I enjoyed the lunchtime special, home made bread, stew and wine combo. Don't expect a restaurant, or a full menu. That's not what this is.It's informal, and perfect for meeting or resting up. Children and family friendly too. Thank you.

apart from the building itself and the view, not so much could add value to this place. the tables+chairs are anonimous and is a bit expensive though.

Very pleasant cafe overlooking the river. There is plenty of seating and tables so a very comfortable place to take a break and have a coffee and cake . If you are going theatre then this place is well worth a try .

This cafe has to be one of the most unpleasant places to visit. It's dirty, the staff were rude and doesn't seem to have any organization. Thankfully we decided not to stay to eat anything because we found a wonderful restaurant around the corner

I frequently walk between Waterloo Station and central London at or around lunch time. All I need is a quick snack. The sandwiches are always fresh and my turkey offering, with all the trimmings and on brown bread, was a very reasonable £4.50. An accompanying Americano Coffee was £2.15. So a snack lunch for £6.65! Beat this in London. When you factor in large comfortable seating in spacious surroundings with a view over the Thames this is just what I need. There is also a mouth-watering selection of pizza slices. I will be back soon.

Self-service terrace by the river. Simple and nice :) Company of cooks operated café inside offeres great choice of yummy food and excellent coffee. Often very busy when the weather is nice.

Gostei de tudo, pratos estavam gostosos, mas o preço não fazia jus a qualidade, preço muito alto para uma refeição simples!

Grubby would be the best description. Food in fridges looked unappetising, tables were crammed with rubbish, nobody cleaning up I bought cola and a pkt of crisps....it looked that bad

Wow over £15 for two badly basic sandwiches and two drinks! Avoid! I don't mind spending money as long as I get decent quality. That is not the case here.

Good selection of food, including a stew (meat or veg option ) with bread and a small glass of wine for £8.50, which was really tasty and great value. Nice view over the river, and free wifi. Perfect for a pitstop!

this was our first visit here. The menu was fairly basic but with sufficient variety though not too interesting. However the service was excellent ( we were served by an attentive polish waitress) and atmosphere great. I would recommend stopping in here if you are walking along the Thames - a solid reliable venue.

I came here with my elderly Father and asked for a larger plate for his sandwich as the plates are smaller than the portions of food. This was met with a rather terse and unhelpful response from the server so I managed by cutting the sandwich in half and using a napkin as an extra plate.Also despite quite high prices all the plates, cutlery and cups are disposable which is not very practical and not really good enough. I shared two sandwiches which were both pretty good in quality and portion though.

We stopped here on our way from the Tate Britain as we headed to Westminster. We stopped mostly due to our stomachs complaining, and man were we glad we did.The choice and variety in food was amazing, plenty of seating, nice view over the Thames, friendly staff and superb food. We will certainly return!!5 *

As a member and very frequent visitor to BFI I've eaten here many times and it's always been reliably good, but this time it was very good indeed. the menu is changed and rduced a bit, with a few specials. We went for two specials and one chose sausages and mash. The pie I had was delicious, really generous braised steak pieces in a thick rich gravy, topped with mash. Salmon was really good and the sausages excellent. Cheesecake and Tiramisu finished it perfectly. A great bottle of Viognier and the waiter was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Just perfect.

The unpretentious Riverside Terrace Cafe at SouthBank is reliably good. I usually opt for the soup, thought the stews look and smell appetising as well.I couldn't decide which of the two soups I fancied most. The nice man at the counter gave me two small samples in little paper cups for me to choose - and this at a busy time. Much appreciated.I am a home soup-maker so am quite critical of restaurant soups. Their Parsnip and Cox's Apple soup is, however, superior, and served with a huge chunk of brown granary bread. Yum!

Outside terrace is a good vibe spot for coffee, tea, cakes, sandwiches and soups when its warm. Great view of the River Thames but the inside space is rather bland and a bit of a sprawl. Self service and convenient if you are attending an event at South Bank complex and want a quick bite.

Disappointing. Our veggie burgers were a long time coming. The filling was stodgy and they were dried-up outside - I suspect they'd been sitting under a heat lamp waiting for one of the many waiters to bring them to us. Someone asked if 'everything was okay' but didn't seem able to grasp the possibility of an answer other than 'yes'. The manager needs to get a grip.

Had pulled pork burger and salad instead of fries. It was nice enough and the pulled pork was yummy, and had a nice warm kick to it, but don't bother ordering the salad in be hope you'll be eating more healthily, have the fries instead, because the salad comes in a weeny bowl, and is basically a few bits of rocket and other leaves - a real let down. Also, the coleslaw was pretty tasteless to be honest, more vinegary than creamy. My partner said his veggie beanburger was nice, and his fries were good. Service was all right, slow for the drinks, better for the food. The waiting staff seemed to either spend their time hanging around and chatting, but they were, paradoxically, over-attentive at times. My experience was that the place was too expensive for what we got, and okay but by no means great.

This was our third visit since it is a very convient spot for a meal before a visit to the BFI or National Theatre. It does get busy so try to allow time. The food I love the burger it is thick and tastes of angus beef and nothing else, comes with fries. There are some good vegatarian options. For a starter try the pint of sausage rolls or cream cheese with chives. For desert, if you have room, both the house cheesecake and the ice cream and chocolate chunks are to be recommended. My wife claims the chocolate chunks are to die for. Coffee is good and there are a selection of wines at very resonable prices (for London). Service is fast and friendly and the place is very clean. What's not to like so enjoy we always do!

Nice selectioin of cakes and sandwiches. Good coffee. Best thing is the view over the Thames. Can get very busy. Good for a quick bite when on the South Bank, visiitng galleries or the Festival Hall.

Teas, coffees and cakes on the South Bank. This used to feel a bit special because of the good coffee, cakes and sandwiches, but over the last decade (or maybe more) it's become a bit me-too; outlets like Starbucks do all this and more. Service is friendly (although it's self-service so I haven't given them a big rating because they have no scope to gain more) and the coffee still good but in that setting, at one of London's leading cultural centres, you'd hope for a bit more adventure. Nothing actually wrong with it and there's plenty of seating inside and out, but drinks from paper cups in a venue like this (as other commentators have pointed out) are a bit same-old same-old.

Stopped here today and thankfully queue was not too long. The 'stew' I had tasted fab- lemongrass and chicken but really it was more of a soup and served as such with a chunk of bread so I am not sure why they term it a stew.For a quick sandwich or soup/ stew thing this is as good as you will find in London but I did baulk at paying £2.50 for a brownie. That is trying it on.I guess they try to make up for decent prices on the basics by ratcheting up the sweet things.That said, if you want a tea or coffee while on the way to somewhere else this is a good place to stop, especially if you have kids. It is pretty well no fuss, child friendly and low maintenance.

We went there seeking refreshment prior to visiting town on our wedding anniversary. Great space and views over the Thames and city beyond but astonished that drinks were served in paper cups. At a nearby table a lady was enjoying soup from a treated paper container. Surely in one of the capital's great concert venues we could be served with decent crockery and utensils with our food and beverages. We did enjoy a snack of tuna mayo, crisps and green and breakfast tea but this was in spite of the paper crockery. Also the queuing system is a little strange whereby apparently a customer is to take sandwiches from refrigerated racks either side of the till and then queue to pay and ask for further items such as hot drinks and soup.

After a walk along the River the very large cafe, restaurant and wine bar is a good find, there is plenty of seating inside and out. They make a selection of cocktails as well as the usual coffees, teas and soft drinks as well as various cakes.

I was looking for a cheap lunch when going on to a concert on the South Bank. This area is full of chains and I wanted something cheap and a bit original so tried the Riverside Cafe in the Royal Festival Hall. The menu for hot food was short - two soups, a hot sandwich and a stew but the food was fantastic. A roast pork sandwich with little "crisps" of port crackling, potato and sorrel soup, a lamb curry for the stew. The soup and stew served with a chunk of delicious brown bread. It was wholesome and original and really good value.You can take to food up to one of the balconies overlooking the thames and have that wonderful view over the Thames.

The Royal Festival Hall on the Southbank has a couple of different restaurants and cafe's. The Riverside Terrace Cafe is on the main level. They do sandwiches, soups and stews. Often they have deals on such as a bowl of stew, bread and a drink for £5. It is self service and everything is served in disposable containers so it is not a fancy place but it is is good for a quick lunch.
