Look at this monstrosity shortly to open in Camberwell

I thought I'd try something different on the way home tonight, so I stopped at Camberwell Green to try Noodels City.

Never again.

I hadn't been there five minutes and there was almost a riot - not caused by me this time.

A lady slipped on something that had been spilt on the floor, fell over flat, and broke her plate, throwing food all over the floor (some rice landed on my shoe). She was all rather dramatic about it, and the guy behind the counter found it all rather amusing - which did not go down well with what looked like a crowd of about 10 people that knew her gathering round the counter shouting very loudly about it. I was very tempted to tell them to shut the fuck up as I was trying to enjoy a relaxing night out, but simple stats convinced me this was not a good idea. The guy behind the counter didn't help things by saying they usually charge for broken plates.

Once all this had calmed down, I tried to continue eating - whilst the lady next to me talked, with her mouth full and open, for about 20 minutes until I finally had enough and just walked out (you pay before you sit down) without feeling full.

I can't say I was impressed much with the food on offer either. A lot of it was mislabelled, there weren't many vegetarian options (unless chips, onion rings and shredded dry red cabbage count) if you're into that sort of thing, and there wasn't a huge variety of things.

I shan't be going back.

We braved this place the other week, stood there for a full minute wondering where to go, what to do. Had no clue! Walked out.
 
It does look horrible - so I think it will self regulate - most people will be put off and not eat there - so they will either have to make it look better, or close down.
