Big portion with small money Culture Grub is just few mins walk from Waterloo station.

Don't let the interesting name steer you wrong. This is definitely Asian food culture! We had great service from our server, Kevin. The food literally came out from the kitchen in 5 minutes. Wonderfully fresh and authentic. One dish we tried was the chicken chow mien. Noodles were soft. Onions cooked with a perfect crunch, and the sauce complimented the chicken well. The second dish was spicy Szechuan prawns that had just the right amount of sweet heat paired with fried rice. The restaurant was very clean with 5 tables occupied on a Monday night. Kevin took time to answer all of our tourist questions and was a joy to speak with. I will definitely try this place again before we leave! I hope it will warm up to enjoy their outdoor seating area.

Really tasty food at affordable prices, extremely quick service. A few of the reviews have said they got "rude" service - we didn't experience any of that. Yes, the servers that take your order and bring you the food are short with their answers and don't sit around to chat with you but the place is SUPER busy at lunchtime - they're just rushed and I'd take that anytime for the speed and quality of service, as well as the size of the portions. The lady who took us to our table was very friendly and smiley too!

A great little find! It was a Sunday evening and my boyfriend and I were extremely hungry and the only thing that was going to fix this was Chinese.

We head out to The Cut as I vaguely remember passing what seemed like a hole in the wall Chinese. We got there and it turned out to be bigger than a hole in the wall but still quite small. It is a modest looking restaurant but you didn't want it to be anything more.

We were greeted by a very friendly waitress who sat us down. We were presented with the menu and there was so much to choose from. The menu consisted of typical Chinese dishes but all of them had a little twist.

We went crazy and ordered far too much food but didn't regret it. Every single dish was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the lean pork & chinese cabbage dumplings, there were sweet, sticky and morish. The salt and chilli squid is definitely a winner.

We had so much food left over that they kindly offered to put it in a bag for us to take home. When the bill came we couldn't believe how cheap it was!

Not only did this place cure our hangovers but we have been back there a few times since and it was just as good as the...
