Spicy Noodle Cafe - London

This is a brilliant local cafe with amazing Chinese/East Asian dishes. It's kind of legendary in the Balham area at this point. Never disappoints!

Food cooked to an excellent standard. (Would be helpful if diners were informed in the menu as to how many prawns the prawn soup has. Would buy food from this cafe again.

Haven’t yet found a spot that’s rivals this place. It needs to be open later!!!

I love traditional caffs that serve a proper fry up. This time I visited Spicy Noodle Cafe which was actually unsuspectingly a caff. 20 years ago this cafe was acquired by SL who has added Chinese to the menu while fry ups are cooked in a wok. It felt like a Chinese Take away but caff style with breakfast and Chinese. Will be back for something else. There are three other Asian English Caffs out there which I have tried. One is English and Thai while the other one serves English and Chinese roast on one plate. Last but not least Billingsgate Cafe which serves Chinese noodles on Monday morning which takes effort to try.

What a place. Great fry up, great noodle (you can have both at 7am! plus best cup of tea in Balham. And extraordinarily well priced. A real institution
