Sun & Thirteen Cantons

Sun & Thirteen Cantons might look like a cool yet traditional-style pub on first look, but this place's food is one of Soho's best kept secrets. Their current kitchen residency is from Mamapen, the only Cambodian restaurant in London, who are slinging out fried chicken buns, tattie mince noodles and sour pineapple curry for under £15.

Koya

Located on Frith Street, Koya is an authentic Japanese udon noodle bar that's been serving up traditional fare since 2010. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, to be enjoyed in their minimalistic restaurant that features an open kitchen and sleek wooden counters.

Small plates here start from as little as £3.80, featuring the likes of miso soup and marinated mushrooms. As for the main dishes, expect everything from sweet tofu broth with spring onions to prawn and vegetable tempura.
