    House Fry (£9) - seaweed crack & pickled watermelon
    Miko B.

    Although the pickled watermelon chunks that the House Fry (drumstick & thigh) came with were super bomb, my friend and I both preferred the K-Pop (sandwich). I think I'll stick to the sandwiches on my next visit!

    K-Pop Sandwich, delicious!
    Andrew K.

    Nicely battered, juicy deep fried chicken with amazing Dripping Fries with friendly service surrounded by hip decor.... need I say more? This quick dinner stop was definitely a memorable one. The Disco Wing appetizers were nice and crispy, but not overly battered and well seasoned. The K-pop and The General were delicious chicken sandwiches, again, well battered with a a crunch, but not so over battered to overpower the juicy chicken inside. The Dripping Fries were amazingly flavored, to the point no ketchup or other seasonings were required. Service was friendly and prompt. The environment was hip without being overly trendy. I loved the metal printing press plate accent wall, very unique concept for an accent wall. Will definitely come back to try out more sandwiches and appetizers and another round of the fries.

    The very hot and numbing wings

    Who could say no to fried chicken?? YASSSSSS!! this is the right place to go! Me and my fiancé were on our way from covent garden to soho when we saw this little crowded place. We stopped in front of the restaurant simply because other pedestrians stopped and they were checking out the menu. The kitchen is a part of the reception area so that is the first thing guests will see when they enter and what we saw was good enough to make us come back the very next day. We ordered the szechuan aubergine, naked disco wings and hot and sour pineapple. They are all tasty!! The staff suggested sriracha and mayo dip to go with the wings. The dip is not too spicy but it slowly burns in your mouth, which is nice and kind to those of you who can't handle spicy food. The wings are crispy and perfectly battered and fried with oil that does not mess with your throat. I like fried stuff and I'd like to keep myself away from bad 'oils'. A good indicator is that after you eat something fried but you don't feel anything sticky or irritated your throat, it means the oil is clean and it has not been reused. Szechuan aubergine - 10! I like vegetable and I like friend stuff. Win! Tastes like tempura with yummy sauce. Hot and sour pineapple - 9. I like hot and sour food and this one tastes very much like "rujak" or fruit salad from my home country, Indonesia. This one is nice to go with all the fried stuff you are eating. As mains, my fiancé ordered the K-Pop bun. After all that wings we had eaten, the bun seemed to be too much. He thinks the bun is so soft it crumbles very easily while you eat and the chicken batter was different from the standard. The texture of the chicken was apparently harder to bite into. Overall good but not as impressive as the other chicken dishes. I stayed with the wings and challenged myself to try the "hot and numbing" disco wings. It is the highest level of spiciness but it turned out to be quite manageable, especially when you dip it into blue cheese or the sriracha and mayo dips. I have to say, though, the "naked" disco wings are better ;). Drinks! you should definitely try their housemade soda. They mix watermelon juice and lemonade so it is sweet and sour, just the right balance. Order two because it is served in a short glass. Sides - we ordered the pickled watermelon, which I think is a must-try. It is a bowl of cut watermelon, chilli, mint, coriander leaves, splash of lemon and sprinkle of nuts. It is a gorgeous salad and perfect to combine with the wings. We are very satisfied with the food they serve and will definitely take some friends another time.

    Pickled watermelon and Guest Fry Kung Pao chicken
    Ann T.

    Spicy, wonderful food in a relaxing atmosphere. Gets crowded so helps to make reservation (online). Loved the pickled watermelon, Guest Fry Kung Pao chicken and the local Fourpure Pils from Bermondsey.

    Super friendly and helpful staff at this small basement restaurant in 7 Dials. They will guide you through the small menu, which is basically chicken or chicken burgers. Tasty tangy flavours and fairly priced given its location. Definitely worth a try.

    So basically the El Jefe has ruined other sandwiches for me. Thanks, Project Sandwich. Sure, I can…read morestill get a decent sandwich elsewhere, enjoy the first few bites but then I realise, oh, this isn't a delicious cuban sandwich lovingly prepared with good quality ingredients that's so huge I could never finish it all. All sandwiches should strive to this level. The first time I had an El Jefe I even saved the half I couldn't eat (I don't do leftovers) as consigning it to the bin was just too sad of a fate. The second time I had one I brought someone else along. The pork has some really interesting spicing - to the point that at first, I wasn't sure I even liked it. But yes, it's delicious. Even the ham is warmed through on the flat top before going in. It's all generously sauced before being pressed into a flat, hot, crusty delicious hunk of food. Just try it. If you don't like it, call me. I'll come have the other half!

    I've tried several different Cuban sandwiches before. They've been pretty good for the most part…read morewith a couple I'd dare say were very good. But they all pale in comparison to the Sandwich Project and their El Jefe. It was a drizzly day when I came here on the recommendation of my wife. I dare say it was because of the iffy weather that they weren't all that busy - in fact on this particular day, none of the collection of excellent stalls at Kerb at Kings Cross were busy. Ordering is simple - they do two sandwiches, one was the El Jefe, the other was a club sandwich of some description with a fried egg. You pay, get a number and then wait. But don't go too far, because watching the detail and effort they put into the sandwiches is worth the price of admission alone. For example, with the El Jefe - they put the ham and pork on the flat top. I've only ever seen that done for a sandwich on shows like Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and films like Chef - I've certainly never heard of it being done in a British restaurant or streetfood vendor. The best I've had before was someone fried the sandwich in butter, but the ham never touched the grill. Immediately I'm enthralled. Then they finish the up on a plancha! They had an actual plancha! Ok sure, it could have been a panini press in another life, I'm no expert, so I wouldn't know the difference by looking at it. But it did the job - it pressed it down into an edible size and toasted the bread. As for the sandwich? Sublime. I no longer know whether this or Liberty Cheesesteak's original cheesesteak is the best sandwich in London (that Cheesesteak has been my undisputed king for several years). It's a close tie, certainly. That is how good the El Jefe is. The London sandwich scene has a new challenger!

    This was my favorite lunch place when I was working in the area. It's a small space, almost…read moreexclusively takeaway, so it often looks like there's a long queue, but don't let that discourage you, as the staff are quick and efficient. They're also really nice and polite. Over the course of several visits, I tried the sirloin special, the coronation chicken, the chicken escalope, and the chicken/bacon/sweet corn sandwiches. I also tried the scotch eggs. My favorite was the coronation chicken, which I'd never had before (I don't think we have it in the States), but everything I tried was tasty and I'd be happy to have all of them again. The sandwiches are pretty reasonably priced at under £6, which is nice for an area where it's easy to spend the same amount on a cup of coffee and a muffin. I've always been in and out of the shop in just a few minutes, even when it's busy. Their prime lunch traffic seems to come around 12:30 and later; it was pretty empty the 1 time I went at 12. I've always been able to pay with my American bank card without any issues. Definitely recommend this place if you need lunch in the area! They also have breakfast, although I've never tried it.

    Best sandwich place around here. Their chicken escalope on granary bap is my personal favourite…read more Worth the walk if you are further away but lucky for me it's on my doorstep.
