hmm, it sounds like Cha Cha Moo isn’t that worthwhile to go anymore. I used to love going to the one near Carnaby Street. It was great value for only £3.50 for each noodle dish and with a few friends we can sample various dishes. My fav dish used to be Cha Cha Mooli. It’s different and got a nice kick to it.
But now that the prices have gone up, and reading your latest review, not sure we’ll go back. better warn my friends to go elsewhere too.
By the way, we came from Sydney, Australia and have to say the Chineses and even Asian (what we call Asian is more South East Asia – not the same as what British refers to Indian, etc as Asian) are so much better and more reliable in Sydney then most London Chinese places we tried. Wonder why it’s like that?

Given more reasonable price, we recently discovered a northen chinese place called ‘My Old Place’ near Liverpool Street. It’s on Middlesex street off Bishopgate half way between Aldgate and Liverpool Street. For the prices they charge and judging by so many chinese there, it’s quite a hidden gem. Only trouble is that it’s more catered for Chinese customers so we have a lot of difficulties ordering or asking about the dishes. But for less than a tenner per person walking out with a very full stomach, it’s worth the trouble. = )

[...] be a right tit, sometimes. You’ll remember my superficial slating of Chinese food during my cha cha moon visit and how I proclaimed that Chinese restaurants need to up the ante on the shameful way [...]

Hi Kang. Just stumbled upon your blog and this review. That picture of beef la mien…are those things even marginally la mien? I’ve been to the Carnaby St branch twice and my opinion is more mixed. I thought the fried beef ho fun (personal fav) was actually rather tasty and great value. The tea chicken though was very bland. At that kind of price I don’t expect much and I have to say – you get what you pay for. Not atrocious and tolerable from my visits.
Btw have you been to/ reviewed Baozi Inn? Their dan dan noodles not bad (by London standards)

I haven’t been back since the price changes but it seemed OK when everything was £3.50. But Wagamama! Sheesh, that place is horrible!

Many consider noodles to be a simple dish, but as you explain above, getting them right is not an easy task. It may be that the dish is taken for granted, assuming the customer won’t pay attention to detail like you do, but for those who practice their craft (and use good noodles) the result can be a most satisfying meal.
