As expected
Rik's comments above are fairly spot on, but I feel compelled to defend Miso, as I regulalry visit both their Angel and Hoxton branches.
Why? Because it usually takes them less than two minutes to serve your food from ordering. Don't visit Miso for a great meal, treat it like a fast-food outlet and your perspective on the place will change entirely. Your expectations will drop dramatically, and the food suddenly won't seem so bad in comparison to other fast food outlets in the area. Always my first choice for a quick bite when I'm in a massive rush.

Well below expectations
If I'm reviewing bad restaurants, I use a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being slightly bad and 10 being Miso. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this place at all.
If you enjoy eating duck noodles where the duck is actually 99% unchewable fat and the noodles taste, and look, more like worms, then this is the place for you. However, if you're even slightly sane, you'd go to Wagamama just down the road. Now, I'm definitely not a fan of Wagamamas, what with their terrible service, but at least they have consumable food.
Talking about Wagamama's terrible service, Miso also does suffer from exactly the same problem - not enough competent staff. It's not exactly service with a smile either, with waiters literally slamming your food on to the table without saying anything. They certainly know how to stop any repeat custom.
I would say the food is cheap, which it is for an Asian restaurant in Angel, but you would have to pay me to eat at this place again. In fact, I'd pay not to.

Ok noodle restaurant

Miso is ok. It's a noodle/Chinese restaurant which serves up nice, but not amazing, food. It is pretty cheap, but in my opinion lacks atmoshpere. Other such restaurants in Angel are better (Wagamama, New Culture Revolution).
