Reviews of Lye Torng Thai Restaurant and Bar

In this cold weather I had a fab soup for lunch. A bit spicy and aromatic with coconut so creamy, called Tom Kha - absolutely delicious, had chicken one which also had mushrooms in, v. filling and warming.

I had a superb green curry at Lye Torng yesterday - the owner tells me they are having some new puddings in a week or two which will go very well with the food, for those, who like me, are great dessert fans.

The SE1 lunch club visited this place on Friday 13th - ooer, but don't be scared.

The food is really top notch - I had the Thai Green Curry, as you do, and you have a choice of meat with it - I went for chicken. Chavender went for pork and that looked scrummy too. I am a bit of a green curry snob but have to say that Lye Torng delivered the goods!

I had a pint of Stella to cool down my green-curry-gob - good value in a SE1 restaurant at £2.95 a pint.

The decor inside is great and hats off to the waitress - attentive, polite but not intrusive.

We SE1 lunch club folks are a notoriously choosy and fussy type but this place has made it on to the top 10 list, around number 5 - will we be back?

You betcha.

I often eat here. Favourite dishes: prawn Penang dry curry which is great and up to 5pm on the cheap lunch menu, also beef Massaman - I do like meat.

we've eaten here several times, and have never failed to be impressed - cheap authentic thai food, a bar, a pool table - what else could you ask for.

I've eaten in here a few times and alway's had a bad belly after.
