Siam Central

Fast service and constant quality on the food even on busy evenings.
Plus: A thai friend has approved the food as authentic.
Recommend: Drunken Noodles
One of my favourite places in London.

Delicious and affordable Thai food. The 2 and 3 courses meal sets at lunch are very good value for money! Love the prawn&chicken toast, the chicken wings and pad-​mee noodles.

Fantastic Thai food! The drunken noodle dish was excellent. Food wasn’t as spicy as other Thai food I’ve eaten but still delicious.

As well as the chicken being halal, the food was delectable. Cute location and not overpriced. It may just be a starter but the prawn chicken toast is not to be missed (they served 4 toasts but we ate 2 before taking the picture). I’d also recommend the drunken fried rice as that’s their speciality. On the other table I saw an interesting looking papaya salad which I will be sure to check out next time.

Cute little place by the University of London. The portion for lunch was great but the actual food was just ok. There was some sort of spice missing from it that I can’t quite place. There was probably more egg than chicken in my dish. You can get a main course for 6£85 or an appetizer or dessert with a main course item for 8£85. No WiFi granted.

Ordinary Thai food. Some dishes smell a bit eggy but not too much. Downstairs seating is a bit dark. It’s a good place for a work lunch upstairs.

Un rico sazón y excelente comida, un lugar que recomiendo al 100%, la música es tranquila y el ambiente es relajado, los chicos de servicio muy amables y amistosos, vine con mi hermana y estuvimos muy a gusto y satisfechos, la comida tiene un equilibrio perfecto en sazón y las porciones son excelentes para llenar la barriga… Amo este lugar

Siam Central is an affordable Thai restaurant that sells delicious food in the heart of Fitzrovia. Healthy portions, great atmosphere, lovely staff and speedy service. Try the drunken noodles!

Reasonably priced and authentic Thai cuisine. Great meal if you like that food, go for it!

I ordered delivery — three drunken noodles of both prawns and beef.
Food was solid. I asked mine to be made extra spicy, and they definitely delivered on that dimension. Seafood and meat in the dishes were generally fresh. I also liked the proportion of ingredients overall.
Delivery was prompt and the delivery man, kind. The owner that took my order over the phone also seemed attentive and orderly.
Would definitely order delivery again from here!

Awesome place. A quaint little restaurant that’s reasonably priced and has the quickest and the friendliest service I’ve experienced for a long time. The food is amazing and we found that, on the whole the dishes were a tad spicier than other Thai restaurants, which is no bad thing! Also, the drunken fried rice is a must have! Great for a casual eating out and even more formal occasions, the atmosphere was great and even the toilets smelt really nice! Left feeling stuffed and thoroughly looked after! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Good, cheap Thai food. The green curry was surprisingly (a little too) spicy, but the food was of a good quality, very cheap and VERY quick (we ordered, and it arrived in fewer than ten minutes). Would highly recommend.

Not a big restaurant, but then again most restaurants in London are not big. That’s just how it works around there. Or here. Depending where I am when you are reading this.
I came here with my favorite London couple and I was the third wheel, though I am married so technically we were a proper car… it just so happened that one of the wheels was somewhere far away.
Service was very fast, almost frighteningly fast. Not super nice, but fast. I had chicken pad thai and it was about as good as I was expecting it to be.
Basically, this place is fine. I’d choose the good at Metro Thai or Thai Metro or whatever it is called, down the street. It’s a little better.
Bonus: if you ask for extra water, they may just leave the pitcher at your table. Convenient… but not too polite.

Don’t know what people are raving about.
Got seated as a single person, they didn’t seem to happy with me taking up space for 2.
Didn’t get the cassava crackers everyone had, maybe because I’m alone?
Tom Kha Kai was below average, chewy chicken and the only vegetables were an onion and a few sad mushrooms.
Ordered the coconut rice and stir fried aubergine with chili. Over cooked rice and aubergine, very bland taste.
Maybe I am spoiled by Patara, but this was very disappointing.
Total price was almost £20, — too much as well IMHO.
For me just 2 stars, ambiance was not too good and food below average.

A cozy welcoming Thai restaurant with good quality Thai food. The restaurant competes with many others on the street but I’m glad we chose it. We ordered Thai fish cakes for starters, followed by Lamb Massaman curry, Chicken Pad Med and Morning Glory vegetables all to share. The meal was full of a medley of really tasty flavours and spices and the Massaman curry was really delicious and creamy. Service was fast and the setting was relaxing. A good place for a romantic meal or for dinner with friends. A solid Thai restaurant worth a visit.

This is a great place to rest your weary shopping feet or line the stomach for a big night ahead.
Decent food that comes out fast, excellent service and perfect portion sizes.
The fish cakes had the right amount of kick and the curry and noodle dishes were both good. The ‘morning glory’ greens seems slightly oily so perhaps go with the seasonal veg option instead.

This is a solid place for lunch. Their set menu for £8 provides great value.
The service is good as it’s a pretty small restaurant so they do care about table turnover. I’ve had the drunken fried rice here which is super flavorful without being greasy and friends have had the pad thai and the pineapple fried rice, which are also very good.
They have some tables outside if you can manage to get a table.

We have walked past this place on numerous occassion, asked for a table but it is usually completely packed and we didn’t want to wait. This time we were lucky that we could be seated straight away (with only 1 empty table).
The customer service was fab. I explained we’re in a rush (we literally had 30 mins to order, eat & pay before the movie started). The food arrived at a good time (not so fast that they nuked the food). We loved the salt & pepper squid as well as the chicken satay. If a Thai restaurant can’t make a good chicken satay, then there is no hope. My partner orderd a Mussaman Chicken Curry whilst I had the Thick Rice noodle with duck. The main was good, but not excellent.
I still cannot decide whether I prefer Busaba to Siam Central. They are both as good although during the meal I sensed that they may have used MSG in their food. I’m not a fan of MSG, hence the 3 star.
If you’re in the area… give it a go. We will be trying the Thai Metro to compare the two :)

This is an ideal restaurant to have a tasty meal with a beer on a Friday night, for a good price. It’s a short walk from Goodge St tube station.
We arrived at about 7:30pm and the restaurant looked full. We were acknowledged and invited to wait for two minutes for a table. Indeed, two minutes later, we were invited to go downstairs where we were met by another staff member who showed us to a free table. The tables are close together and ours had the residual stickiness of a place where a number of people had already dined tonight.
We also chose the mixed selection of starters. This had the usual things that you would expect: prawn toast, satay chicken, etc. My favourite is the prawn toast which I save for the end as a kind of «starter dessert». We ordered two main-​sized dishes to share: Penang curry with duck and Pad Thai with chicken. My wife was attracted to the green papaya salad on the menu, so we ordered that too. I liked how the Pad Thai came with the chopped peanuts and bean sprouts on the side, so you could control your allocation. It works for me because I like the peanuts but don’t like the bean sprouts. The duck slices in the curry were cooked as I like it.
The overall bill was a touch over £40 including 10% service charge. This is pretty reasonable for a Friday night dinner out in London.

This is a Thai place pretty close to where I go to school. I’ve come here numerous times with my classmates and I have to say I’m a fan.
The place is a bit small at least the upper level of their place is relatively small but it’s nice and cozy. The service is always great too! I’ve only ordered a few dishes here but each one I’ve ordered is GREAT! My favorites are the Drunken Noodle or the Drunken Fried Rice.
Their lunch menu is definitely worth it! All in all you never pay that much and they have a mirad of choices to choose from for a dish. I believe I’m not the only one that feels this way because this place gets BUSY!
I might go again this week. YUM.

Tasty food at very reasonable prices. Great lunch specials too!
We went with the two course lunch specials. Corn fritters, pork and shrimp dumplings, pad see ewe, and veggie and tofu stir fry. The pork and shrimp dumplings were not too exciting but the rest of the dishes were great. One of the better Thai places around and great service.
