Apparently this is the solution (not complete code though, you have to add columns to datatable). I couldn't find the format string which specifies 'no formatting' in Epplus, but here you have it.

 var ws = MainExcel.Workbook.Worksheets.First();
 DataTable tbl = new DataTable();
 for (var rowNum = 1; rowNum <= ws.Dimension.End.Row; rowNum++)      
 {
     var wsRow = ws.Cells[rowNum, 1, rowNum, ws.Dimension.End.Column];
     var array = wsRow.Value as object[,];

     var row = tbl.NewRow();
     int hhh =0;

     foreach (var cell in wsRow)
          {
           cell.Style.Numberformat.Format = "@";
           row[cell.Start.Column - 1] = cell.Text;
          }
     tbl.Rows.Add(row);
 }
