"Thonglor Express’ all-you-can-eat lunch is like a buffet run by strict parents. The kind who make you finish your plate before reaching for more. At the Thai spot near Tottenham Court Road, line up by the counter from 2:30pm, point politely at what you want, and the servers behind the till scoop panang curry over rice and vegetarian spring rolls. When you finish the disposable bowl, you can return to the counter for as many refills as you want until 4:30pm when the buffet cuts off. The curries are creamy and piping hot, and things like fried fish is regularly topped up, making it a great-value lunch option for anyone who never gets fully satisfied from a build-your-own-salad-bowl lunch. You’ll spot friends splitting a sticky mango rice by the back, or couples sitting side by side while tucking into their tofu stir-fry. But it’s a small, casual space, and the majority of seating is solo-friendly, making it ideal for a day-off post-shopping lunch. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak

Good Thai food in central London. Went for lunch buffet and was blown as to how much value to money this place is, great hospitality, good food and good variety. Highly recommend. Although recommended to go at 2:30pm sharp or 3.30pm when the lunch crowd subsides (although that might not be the case for everyday). Either way, you will be treated with the warmest welcome as they anticipate buffet goers as their patrons. Definitely will be back.

Went for the 2.30-4.30pm buffet. Food was really good especially the Chicken Wings, the fried Pork Belly and Basil Chicken. Very tasty and affordable. Staffs are friendly. Nearest Tube - Tottenham Court Road Parking - available

Authentic Thai Flavours in the Heart of London - I had the pleasure of dining at Thonglor Express in London and tried several dishes: Tom Yum noodle soup, crab meat fried rice, mango sticky rice, papaya salad, and Thai iced tea. Overall, the dishes were decent and comparable to the authentic flavours you would find back home. In a city like London, where finding true Thai cuisine can be challenging, this place is as good as it gets. The restaurant can get crowded during dinner hours, so I recommend going earlier to avoid the rush. The service staff also speaks Thai, adding to the authenticity of the experience. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Thai food in London!

Had the £12 buffet here. While the place was a bit cramped, the staff were incredibly friendly, which made the experience more enjoyable. The buffet is a decent option if you're on a budget, but I found the food a bit too salty for my taste. Thai milk tea was great!! Overall, it's worth considering if you're looking for an affordable meal with welcoming service.

We had the Thai buffet with green curry + deep fried pork and the beef + pork. Both were delicious! We paired it with Thai Milk tea and Longdan Juice, and it made the flavors even better. Both drinks are on the sweeter side, the juice being the sweetest. Highly recommend!

We were welcomed and invited in as we passed and were rewarded. The food is delicious, the service splendid and the overall atmosphere very nice. We found plenty of vegetarian options (red curry from the buffet and pad Thai) and enjoyed everything. Would recommend!

Unlimited lunch buffet for £12 are you kidding me?! It was quite busy on the Saturday that we went, but people are in and out so quickly that there'e hardly a wait. Seating's a bit tight but the service is so kind and efficient, food so tasty and generous that you can't even be mad. The fried chicken and beef panaeng curry were my favourites. We were surprised at how good the mango sticky rice was too, considering how hard it is to find honey mangoes in the UK! The little crispy bits were the perfect touch. If your spice tolerance isn't great I would highly recommend getting a Thai tea, since a few of the dishes get pretty spicy.

I found this place an unexpected and excellent surprise. We went in because we like Thai food. What we' got was a delicious food, very tasty, and more than enough to eat. Service was also excellent. Nice place and very convenient location.
