Thai Metro — Restaurant in London

I ate here at 5 pm on Saturday. By 7 I was feeling ill, by 8 I was throwing up. I didn’t sleep, vomiting 5 times in the night. I’m guessing until the last grain of rice from my dinner was out of my system: each retching, contracting episode was worse and deeper than the last. I’m 53 years old and don’t need to be on the bathroom floor at 5 am with my head down the pan. I called and the management neither accepted nor denied responsibility. The food here is cooked ‘on the day’ and reheated. I was one of the first evening customers, I’ve a feeling my duck was reheated from lunchtime. It came to the table almost immediately and was warm rather than piping hot. And it was a ‘stir-fry’. Who reheats stir-fry? Especially duck! Who reheats 'Thai' food? These guys. And note the poor hygiene rating, which we unfortunately didn't look out for. As another one star reviewer here says, with food poisoning, several days of your life can be written off. It’s now Monday, I still feel ill and the lower part of my intestine is grumbling with diarrhea as the remains of Saturday make their exit. Go somewhere else. If you do eat here, make sure the reheated food is piping hot, even then, of course, it may contain residual toxins if it hasn’t been handled right. There’s a reason why it’s so cheap. I've eaten bad food before but never really known the meaning of being poisoned until now.

Update: It's now Thursday and I seem to have a gut infection - sulphurus burps and farting, discomfort, fatigue. Such infections can be contracted by eating food contaminated with...

AVOID, AVOID AVOID. Disgusting food and even more disgusting customer service from the manager and waiter. I suspect they are either racist to Arabs or completely incompetent at serving a basic noodle soup dish.

I ordered the seafood soup. I was shocked that I only had 5 small pieces of fish and over half the plate was full of mushrooms and noodles! They have a separate mushroom soup so I wasn’t sure why my dish had more mushroom than fish. There was barely any sauce or seafood in a seafood soup! They are trying to undercut customers - the fact my friends ordered curry and had more sauce than my soup dish is shocking. I asked them to take it back as I could not eat it and the manager brought my plate back out after 5 minutes to shout at me saying I have to pay for it. He argued with me for 10 minutes not offering an alternative and just said that I will be paying for the soup even though 90% of the food was still in the plate. I’ve never been shouted at before and he kept cutting me off and didn’t listen to a word I said. He shoved the food in my face and accused me of eating most of the fish in a rude, loud and arrogant manner.

I do not recommend this place as they seem to discriminated against, I was the only person there and was shouted at and treated horribly. AVOID at all costs as they are looking to argue with a certain type of customer. If you want basic decent food and service do...

There must be some fake reviews here. Because this place is by far one of the worst in London. But I want to explain myself.

First of all. Yes, it is cheaper than other "Thai", but what does it matter if the food is not really good?

Service is very mediocre, even they greet you nicely when you enter, the waitor was incapable explaining to me the size of the bowl of soup, even that I think he was able to speak English.

The food is very low quality, the tiny soup I finally got was extremely salty and far from what means to eat thai. It is just a mix of some ingredients with lemon grass. The lemon grass was very hard and could not be eaten. The tomato in the soup still had the green on it and was already a bit pourished.

The thai coconut with rice was also low quality. Rice still a bit hard, sauce without any thai taste at all and very tiny portion overall too.

The minth tea had old rotten leaves in it and no protection. Very unpleasant.

In the end the price is way too high for what it is. It is by far not thai food at all. Low quality, bad service, the best place for unknown tourist or people that have never eaten in another "thai" restaurant before.

Don t listen to the top rating here. Even with different standards, this is by far the worst place I have been in London for lunch.

Absolutely not...
