Chop Chop

I actually disagree with those reviews stating that the food is bland. From the perspective of a reasonably poor student, this place makes a welcome change from homemade pasta.

In particular, the roast pork chow mein is to die for, I've had it about 5 times and I always finish in about 5 minutes flat.

Although the service isn't exactly amazing, it's not bad, and it's certainly better than other experiences that I have had from more expensive restaurants.

For £5 you can get a really delicious and filling meal for a quick lunch fix either eating in or taking away.

Being situated right across the road from Kings Cross station, you might expect it to be busy, but I suppose that being sandwiched between 2 McDonald's restaurants, and being so small that you could blink and miss it, it's always been relatively quiet in there.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Chop Chop - I don't live in London but every time I visit, I make sure to try and squeeze in a trip for some cheap and yummy noodles.
