Thai Metro

We ended up in this restaurant by accident. We planned to take the advantages of the special offer in Dim T in Charlotte street, but did not know that we had to book this in advance. It was quite late and I was exhausted, my friend was extremely hungry. We browsed around in the same street and ruled out very expensive choices such as Roka. Did not know what happenened that night, it seemed that every restaurant on that street was full with long waiting list. Somehow we stepped in this one and waited only for 20 minutes. The food was not bad, the place is very tiny and crowded, but I kind of enjoyed with my eyes and stomach half-sleep. But I do not think I will go there again. It is just an accident.

Stumbled upon this place last week. What a find! Food is tasty, fresh and served quickly. Portions are healthy and the price....it's cheap, especially for this area. Will definately make them a regular place to for a quick bite.

Quick, delicious Thai food served by friendly staff. Highly recommend this place for those looking for a healthy alternative lunch. Surroundings clean, but the place can get a little cramped during peak hours. However, the price is very reasonable! Will definately pay them another visit soon.

Pleasant restaurant, though the tables are all a little too close together. Good food and reasonably priced. Polite service and we were quickly seated on a busy night (having not booked). Good enough, but nothing special.

Nearby Siam Central is just that little bit better than here, plus nicer atmosphere.

I have been to Thai Metro for more than 5 times in the past 3 months, the only reason I returned is the food. There are few similar Thai restaurants near by and believe me, I have tried most of them, Thai Metro's food is a bit better and the portions are bigger.

I only go there for lunch, never eat there in the evening. With the deal they do, £7.50 for two courses, I think it is very reasonable in that area. The service is ok and fast, the food always arrive fresh and hot on your table.

They also do fresh orange juice, which goes really well with the food. I always need to drink that after such a heavy lunch.

Agreed, too cramped. Four people shared a table more suited to two, which was stuffed into a corner, but service was amicable and quite fast too, although at the time we were the first guests of the evening. Setting was dimed and cosy and conducive to conversation, particularly when more diners came in and the place became quite abuzz. Not the place to go if you just want to chillax cos it's more like eat and leave for somewhere less hot and stuffy.

Food itself was quite tasty. I opted for the green curry surprise surprise, and it contained plenty of fresh, delicious galangal (that how you spell it?) but not very much chicken. The sweet-tasting oconut rice, which I shared with a friend, complemented the heat of the curry well. Curry portion was average and would not have filled a hungry man. I however was not feeling very hungry at all that evening anyway; had I been, there would not have been enough curry for my liking.

Fab restaurant. I've become a regular here after falling in love with the ginger stir fry. I also crave the mixed vegetarian starters for two. Yes, it's a bit cramped inside and small-ish, but who cares when the food is so reliably fresh, flavoursome and good? A great place in a good location. Plus there's a nice sit-out space for when it's sunny and warm outside. And no, the staff are not unfriendly. They're busy, but they do know theire regulars and I always get a warm welcome.

Its always packed, which is never a bad sign, food is great and service quick and efficient. My personal favourite has to be the Red Thai Curry with Coconut Rice. The atmosphere may lack authenticity but as the price per person rarely exceeds £15 you cant really complain. Definatley worth a visit.

I ate here with my dad last week. The food was fabulous, brilliantly presented and delicious. The coconut juice drink was amazing, served in its shell!

all in all it was superb, cant wait to eat here again!
