Wox Noodle Bar

Cheap and cheerful. Box of fried noodles and sweet sour prawns do me well. just mix and match, but probably more authentic in taste than lot of other places.

WOX Noodle Bar, Chinese food oder ähnlich. Große Portionen Reis im Alu-​Container, Fleisch, Gemüse und Soße nach Wahl. Reelle Portionen zur guten Sättigung. Hinter dem Thresen sieht es recht sauber aus. Für Londoner Verhältnisse preiswert. Wenige Sitzplätze im und vor dem Shop. Die Mehrzahl der Kunden nimmt die Speisen take away. Ein guter Ort um seinen großen Hunger schnell und preiswert zu stillen. Hinterher keine Magenverstimmungen.

I’ve gotten takeaway from here several times. I’ve learned to go for the £5 plate (rice or noodles with your choice of two chicken dishes) every time now since it’s such a great deal. This place is a solid choice for when I’m craving Asian food and need something that’s filling and fast. My go-​to chicken dishes are the salt & pepper chicken as well as the sweet & sour chicken.

There’s a lot of inexpensive takeaway/​quick dine places near Paddington Station, including fast food chains. Being hungry but wanting a simple meal, Wox looked interesting because of a buffet-​like display of ready made dishes that could be quickly assembled. And it was clean/​bright. For 5 Pounds, they offer a basic combination plate of rice or noodles, plus 2 other items. In my case I chose noodles with Malaysian spicy chicken and sweet & sour chicken. (for some reason, all the proteins were chicken that day).
I wasn’t expecting much, but the Malaysian selection was very spicy and the S&S was tender and bold. Usually Asian buffets are bland and sometimes tough from sitting too long. This was a nice surprise… possibly like the food stall places in Singapore. Not fancy, but good. There are a couple of seats inside and 2 small tables out front. You wouldn’t take a date there, but if you want to grab some food on the fly, you might try Wox.
They have a lot of other dishes on the menu, in addition to the small buffet offering.
