Quick info
About Keco Food
Keco Food is a Chinese restaurant on Botolph Alley in London, built around a buffet lunch that changes selection day to day. Diners fill their own box from the spread, choosing across dishes that recur on the counter, including Ma Po Tofu, Smashed Cucumber, and fried chicken. An egg and tomato dish and samosas also appear on the menu alongside the main rotation. Service is walk-in, with no reservations taken. The format suits diners picking their own combination rather than ordering a fixed plate.

“LOVE this place. Never know what you're going to get for buffet lunch. The lady that runs the place is from Siuchuan, so you get some really good authentic dishes made by her son. Ma Po Tofu, Smashed Cucumber, and some amazing fried chicken. Often there are a nice mixture of saucey, dry, fried. You can always get a good mixture. Good sauces too. She encourages you to fill your box and press the lid down, which is just such a nice bit of hospitality. Lovely people that work there and terrific value. Highly recommended lunch spot. One of the negative reviews below seems to be plain lies, as the owner has pointed out - and I can confirm photos are absolutely not from there.”

“Very friendly and helpful, great food! loved the classic egg and tomato, also the samosas. We used the 2good2go app to save some meals. Will come again”

“The place is amazing! We’ve took some items from the menu and I regret we haven’t taken any pictures- but it was super delicious and fresh! The lady and her son are very lovely and will definitely come back here again 🥰”

“Such a hospitable hidden gem! Got given a business card on my way to work by a lovely lady and thought why not give it a try — so glad I did. …”

“Was feeling sick and wanted some Asian simple porridge and soup. Appalling difference between advertised ABC soup and actual soup. Not to mention the 1.5hr delivery time. Next level depression to be scammed and sick.”
