i have worked in morden for over 7 years, but have never ventured beyond a handful of eating establishments. i have started this blog, with a view to visiting every vendor of hot grub (excluding global fast food chains like subway and dominos, but including uk fast food chains like gregg's and chicken cottage) within a mile radius of morden tube station.

morden sits at the southern end of the northern line in zone 4. it's in a no man's land between wimbledon (extremely affluent), and mitcham (...not affluent), and is consequently home to people from a broad range of ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. the area is (with the best will in the world) extremely dull. however, this blog will celebrate the mediocrity of this inner london suburb, through food.

The Toko Diner - 26.09.2014

EATERY: Toko Diner, 21 Abbotsbury Road, Morden, Surrey, SM4 5LJ
FOOD ORDERED: Set menu lunch - Chilli Chicken Ramen













"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore"

Toko is a Japanese Diner, run by Chinese peeps. Classic. I have whiled away many a lunch hour at this eatery so thought it'd be a good place to start my food adventure.

I went for the lunch set menu deal, which in my opinion constitutes great value at either £4.95 for starter and main, or just under £6 for a larger, fancy main. I went for the latter option. It was decent, and that's about it. TD in my mind, has always been consistent, and never spectacular. So much like the area in which it is situated; Toko is reassuringly average. I have a feeling this won't be the last time I make this comparison on MAF.

Worth noting, is the loyalty card scheme, where your 6th meal will be free (lunch deals only). Always a winner to reward loyalty - a definite plus in my book.
