Venimos aquí por el increíble pollo Kung Po y un gran ambiente. El propietario siempre es amable y me recuerda a mí y a mis 3 chicas.

. . . A menos que esté buscando una oferta china muy tradicional (es decir, no es nuestra idea inglesa de la comida china). Como, ese parece ser el enfoque aquí, y es bastante popular. También hay un menú de cafetería tradicional, que se sirve hasta las 3. 30 hs. Desayunos cocinados, tortillas etc. Pedí una tortilla y me dijeron (no muy claramente, ni disculpándome) que sería un tiempo muy largo. Lo que fue extraño como a) es una tortilla, no estaba muy ocupada. Yo decido esperar Lo más molesto es que mi café no llega hasta la misma hora que mi tortilla (20 minutos después) La comida era buena, simplemente un servicio terrible. Realmente no me sentí particularmente bienvenido. Tampoco es de gran valor. Y el restaurante en sí estaba frío. Es una pena, porque no hay otra cafetería en esta calle, que yo sepa.

Mi novia y yo siempre parecemos aparecer si vamos a caminar o si nos apetece un batido, que es lo mejor en nuestra opinión. Hacen una gran selección de comida, que van desde un desayuno, sándwiches, sopa de hamburguesas, ensaladas, panini y una gran cantidad de platos principales para tener, y sin olvidar todo el té y café también la gran selección de bebidas. También tienen 'Asian Street food' que se sirve después de las 4:30 pm que suena increíble. Altamente recomendado ?

Aparezco aquí a menudo en el fin de semana para el desayuno y, a veces el almuerzo. Los propietarios son agradables, está limpio y los precios están bien, y tiene 4 de 5 para los puntajes en las calificaciones de puertas. Todo un menú grande y está abierto algunas noches y también vende alcohol. Hay estacionamiento en la parte delantera y en la calle lateral, así que no hay problemas allí.

I know we are all supposed to eat healthily, but every so often you just need a full English breakfast. Never an easy plate to pull off, but the metro cafe does a truly wonderful job of providing the full English, with a great cup of coffee. With parking close by, it's not a complicated place, but judge it on the food and the price and you will leave happy. A great community cafe, with students and locals enjoying all that it offer.

We went there for dinner menus (only available for evenings) full of far eastern taste. I happened to spot this by passing a while back but we had ZERO expectations as the place looked like a regular cafe in student area, plus I know good oriental food by working for years near New Malden (the biggest Korean town outside of Korea), and by growing up near China town in another country. Oh gawd, how wrong was I, their food is simply AMAZING!! We ordered "butter prawns" £5.95 thinking it is one of those frozen pre-made tempura prawns with some sauce, but what was brought out was this giant shrimp dished with explosions of flavours! The ingredients are fresh and first class, and their generous use of spices were unreal for the price! I would expect to pay more than double in London while probably not tasting so nice. We then went on to mains (nasi goreng £8.50 and pad thai £9.25), again, these were packed with fresh herbs and spices, with loads of veg and meat/shrimps. The whole portions were generous and both dish tasted great. Very authentic cooking, DEFINITELY not a mock-off Asian food. And what a price! It's just unbelievable value. Their menu contained various interesting choices, from Kimchi-Chige to Teriyaki ramp steak, and I wish I could just try them all. When we left we were discussing what to try on our next visit! If you like Koren/Chinese/Thai food, you must, must try this place. Don't dismiss it like I did, and you will NOT regret it. What a gem!

We popped in after a trip to the park for a hot chocolate and we're really surprised with the Asian menu. Food was fresh and delicious and I would highly recommend!

It was nice, the staff useful but, the only thing which I would say is, i received my coffee so quick but my college was waiting for longest than 10 minutes to get her tea

I go to Cafe Metro about once a week. I've been consistently impressed with the service and food. Food comes out quickly and is always hot. The menu is diverse with choices ranging from traditional English breakfast to east Asian cuisine. The food is always flavorful and the dinner menu is especially impressive. The owners are always welcoming and accommodating to their customers.

Been here for a traditional fry-up and it is usually busy. Get a full English with coffee/tea for less than £6. Bargain. Yum.

I have been coming to this cafe on and off for years. The staff are always friendly and even if I haven't been in for a while, they always remember my usual order. I can't vouch for the other food on the menu, but the all day breakfast is very good in terms of both quality and value. Sometimes they make mistakes like forgetting my extra order of mushrooms, but they always rectify any problems without quibble. I will be back again soon!

It is due to the menu, and the incredibly cheap prices; as well as its location on the edge of the University Campus - between it and some of the halls of residence - that in many student circles Cafe Metro is known as "the hangover cafe". There's a fairly mundane selection: sandwiches, coffees, the occasional hot meal - but what they really specialise in are the all-day full English breakfasts. They stand out, actually, as quite possibly the only dish on the menu that I can honestly call "good". The bacon is generally a little fatty, but cooked well enough; the sausages are decent; the beans are good; even the fried eggs - which I usually dislike - are nice. The wait time, unfortunately, is usually quite a long time. In the middle of the afternoon, the cafe is probably going to be around half-full - and it generally takes over thirty minutes after ordering for a dish to appear, if that. Away from the breakfasts, the selection of other dishes that I've sampled has been pretty poor. I've endured bacon sandwiches with sauce that I didn't ask for, with more fat than actual bacon, and with a various mixture of bread from toasted to cold. The cafe also actually holds the distinction of having last year achieved creating the single worst baguette I have ever eaten, and only two weeks ago on our last visit my partner had a coffee delivered to her that felt like it had just come out of the fridge - thankfully the manager replaced it free of charge.The cafe also does not take cards, though there is a free cashpoint directly outside so this should not present too much of a problem. We generally visit every two months or so as, despite their incredible faults, they do actually make a surprisingly good English breakfast at Cafe Metro - but don't expect much more than a hangover from anything else.

Food was a huge issue, kitchen was closed without warning so half our group didn't even get to order and those that did had to wait a very long time (more than an hour). One meal was forgotten and had to be chased. Also gents toilets were closed leaving the single accessible toilet as the only available one which was terrible!

When we ordered we were told it would take half an hour. It ebded up taking 1&1/2 hours to get to us. We wouldn't have ordered if we knew that would be the case. I ended up with a migraine as i was so hungry. Wouldn't be acceptable in a restaurant
