Nice little Chinese place to go to for a quick meal. I love the big amount of onions and peppers served in the meal I got, really adds some flavour. I ordered the meal deal which was egg fried rice, salt and pepper chicken, and chicken curry. Probably the best salt and pepper chicken I've ever had, big pieces of good quality chicken with little batter. The egg fried rice was very dark but it tasted nice. The chicken curry was nice too, but I really think the salt and pepper chicken won here. Will come back soon during uni times. This place doesn't take card though, but there is a cash machine nearby.
Omg the soy milk and pudding is amazing!!! Definately homemade. This itself deserves a 5! Super noodle... Excellent Braised beef brisket noodle, not what we expected, it was a stir fried noodles, with braised beef brisket in a sauce on top of noodles. Noodles were good, flavour is average. Beef shin soup noodles very good. Chopped beef brisket Bun... Bun was very doughy and heavy Preserved greens with belly pork rice... Pork very soft but it lacked more preserved green, so it WAS on the bland side. Overall 4* review however highly recommend the special stir fry noodles, soy pudding and soy milk... Which I rate 5* P.s cheap eat!!
Had some great food here at Soya Express. As a veggie there was a lot of choice and it really was delicious. We ordered the tofu in black bean, spring rolls, stir fried noodles and stir fried potatoes pepper and aubergine which was my favourite. The value is very good too. Unfortunately they didn't accept card payment so this is something to keep in mind.
An absolute culinary treat in authenticity. The fresh soya milk is a must have; simply the best I have tasted. Cannot come here and avoid this and pairs perfectly with the youtiao (Chinese fried dough sticks. The fried rice with the salt and chilli chicken and beef in black bean is an absolute steal at the price. The chicken steals the show and the black bean sauce ties it all together. Lastly, the pan fried buns have a deletable, juicy filling combined with a textural sensation in your mouth, due to the crispy bottom and slightly charred top.
Cash only. Delicious food. Humble establishment. This place is exactly what it needs to be! Definitely give the soya milk a try.
