My wife had Thai Noodle Soup. She had a cracked tooth and ordered this soup accordingly with tofu. She reported that although it was healthy particularly with tofu, it was underwhelming. I had fried whole tilapia presented beautifully. The fish, sauce, vegetables and fruit were a delicious combination that I will order again. read more

Food was ordered. Sat down for 15/20mins with no drink. The waitress came out and told me that they ran out of protein for my dish. I left.

Drunken noodle aka Pad Kee-Mao was glistening perfection. Full flavor, thai basil, garlic, the works. Also, it came out in right around 4 mins 30 seconds. Best thai I've had in Fort Wayne so far. read more

5:40 PM on a Sunday. Nobody at the front desk. I waited a few minutes, and then poked my head into the dining room. I didn't see any staff. There were only one or two tables of customers. If I had to hang around for 5 or 10 minutes, waiting for my existence to be acknowledged, who knows how long it would've taken to get some food. read more

I was very happy with my meal. There is so much variety in Thai and this place represented very well. In addition, the staff was very warm and welcoming. read more

Pad woon sen, dumplings, and mandarin with sticky rice! Excellent! And good prices. Will definitely be going back!

I want to encourage you to try this place soon. They have good food and service. It's a new place that has some odd start up issues. However...it deserves you giving it a chance. Thai Metta is located in a strip mall that is not easily accessed. The parking lot is very confusing. Their sign is prominently visible if you are looking for it. Once you arrive you find an odd set up. The foyer is very plain and uninviting. It's a little dark and the left half of the restaurant is completely empty. It's very odd. I hope Thai Metta puts some effort into hiding the empty half and making the lobby much more welcoming. The main dining are is also very plain. It has more of a diner feel than a Thai sit down restaurant. All that said...get past the aesthetics and get to the food! We started with the crab Rangoon. The cover was more of a pasty type crust than the typical crab Rangoon that you would get at other places. Perhaps this is more authentic - I don't know. The crust was slightly crispy, not greasy and with a bit of pasty softness. The filling was heavier on the crème cheese taste with a small amount of crab and crab flavor. The sauce was typical of what comes with a crab Rangoon. The dish seemed a bit shallow as the pasty crust was wide and stiff and difficult to dip. My wife had the ginger garden. The dishes vegetables were very fresh and cooked to a nice crisp. The broth had a beef flavor with a hint of ginger - definitely not over powering but very pleasant. The dish had a very nice refreshing taste! Like my dish...it came with a large portion of jasmine rice. The rice was perfectly cooked...slight moist texture but not overly cooked. I ordered the Param Peanut Sauce dish. The corn, carrots and broccoli were very fresh and softly crisp. The chicken was nicely cut into small strips and cooked to a tender texture. The sauce was a thin consistency with a rich peanut taste. It reminded my of a peanut sauce style dip that you might get when you order spring rolls. The sauce was thick enough to stick to the vegetables but allow you to spoon it over the rice. This dish can be spiced up as you prefer. I went with mild - which had virtually no spice kick. I would recommend at least one level above mild if you like some spice flavor. On this night we were one of only two couples dinning in at prime time. The waiter was very friendly and professional and respectful. He didn't over serve us as he didn't have many customers to attend to. Well done! Again..the food was excellent. Most entrees will start about $12-16 which isn't bad. Give this place a try!! I think you will find the food to be very enjoyable! read more

Saw the place is fairly new so I ordered tofu pad Thai to-go. The server said it would be out in 5 minutes--and they did not lie! Very speedy. And super delicious. Thai Metta just might be my new pad Thai spot in the city. The spice level is great too. I ordered hot level and wasn't disappointed. Definitely will be coming back to try other dishes. read more

Food was superb. Had Tom Khan Soup and it was Filled with chicken and vegetables. My main dish was also great. Very clean and family friendly. The seating and ambiance was good too. The only two draw backs was the location (next to a nasty fireworks store) and that they had lost their liquor license, but they still had that on the menu. Service was very prompt. This most important part, the food, was outstanding. read more

Too few people there, good food for carry out. I have tried it twice now. Too spooky inside thou. read more

Very friendly and accommodating to go. Prices are good , food is delicious. Second visit. Coming back.

I wanted to give this 4.5 stars. It's a great place, just not perfect. But Yelp won't let me lol. So I had 3 different orders here, 1 dine-in and 2 deliveries. I wanted to review only after I had the dine-in experience, although the first delivery was enough to impress me. I ended up having too many dishes to put in a single review, so I'll just have a few words about the things that left an impression on me: - Thai tea is great and chicken satay is the sht, just like you'd expect in any good Thai restaurant (even if this one is in fact owned by the Mon people of Burma). - If I have to choose a best dish to recommend, it would be the Kun Chin Fried Rice. It was very smoky and satisfying and the lap cheung (Chinese hard sausage, not sure if this is what they referred to as Kun Chin or not. It probably is) is some of the best stuff I've had. Substantial and savory without being too sweet nor hard to chew. - Pad Siew is great. It reminded me a lot of old Mahnin, before the owner change. Thick, chewy, and extra savory with very tender beef. - Som tum is decent. It looks great and is flavored excellently, not too sweet, not too sour, and they actually respect your chosen spice level. It was pretty barebones however and the chicken is okay. - The Ayutthaya (Thai Noodle) is also great. Better than any phở out there in this town imo and I don't hesitate to say that as a Vietnamese. The beef is tender, cut thick, and the broth is very bold. In contrast, phở broth is typically lighter with more of a beef tallow flavor to it, and the meat is cooked rare and cut very thin. - The "Thai Street Food" is basically their take at a pad gra prao (rice dish) and as far as I know, is considered their house special. I can see why. The flavor profile is simple, but built in a way that you can't stop eating it. The egg is fried perfectly as the star of the show. - Curry is good in general. Very rich and flavorful. - Now the not-so-good stuff. If there's a real complaint I have with this restaurant, it's that a LOT of the non-mainstream dishes are very underfocused? Most of the appetizers were okay at best, aside from the chicken satay. Fried chicken in particular is dry and underflavored and all around disappointing. - They serve old mangos in their curry and sticky rice. Now there's a sour, crunchy type of mangos that is great for sticky rice yet looks quite pale, but this is not that. This is just old mangos. In general, I do highly recommend Thai Metta as things are right now. However, you do have to be selective with what you order from the menu since many of their dishes seem to differ in quality. If you just stay with the mainstream Thai dishes (Ayutthaya Thai Noodle, Pad Siew, Pad most things, etc), you should be okay, though. Oh, and avoid mangos if you can help it. The real reason I cannot give the full 5-stars however is that most of my positive impression ultimately boiled down to "it's the closest thing to old Mahnin", but I believe any great restaurant should display its own identity. With the previous owner of Mahnin preparing a new restaurant, I don't know how much longer Thai Metta can stay as a recommended destination before getting overshadowed. So, one point off for lack of creativity, I guess. read more

Finally tried Thai Metta. It was good. There wasn't anything that blew me away. We were there right about noon and there were a couple of takeout orders but no dine in guests. The server was a young guy, maybe the son. He needs some seasoning, but he was pleasant. read more

I've been here twice now for carryout and I don't think I will return. The first time I came here a few months ago the food was decent but kinda meh. Not as good as other Thai places in town in my opinion. Yesterday's takeout meal sealed it for me as just not worth it IMHO. I will say the service is quick and the guy at the counter is very friendly. I did not eat in the restaurant, but at a casual glance, the decor has not changed much since this was a Chinese buffet back in the 90s. I ordered the Thai curry dumplings, an order of the fried veggie egg rolls, some sticky rice, the Pad Kee-Mao with Tofu requested hot, and the Mussamun curry with chicken ordered hot. The dumplings were probably the best thing I received from my order. They had a great flavor profile. My only gripe is that they were pretty soft and were difficult to pick up to eat with chopsticks - the noodle was disintegrating. The spring rolls were pretty meh. The skins were tough and chewy almost like they were undercooked or that the oil was not hot enough to fry in. The sweet heat sauce that comes with them was very nice though. The sticky rice almost had a bitter taste to it - I'm not sure what I was tasting that seemed off, but the texture was good. My kids seemed to like it. The Pad Kee-Mao without the protein was good. I enjoyed the sweetness without it being overly sweet. The tofu was super bland though. The chunks were large and it was like chewing on foam because there was no flavor pickup from the sauce. If they were pan fried at all before adding I couldn't tell. Also I asked for hot and it was more medium than hot. The basil used were soggy large leaves that tasted overcooked, which is unfortunate. With all of that said, it was the Mussamun curry that made me decide that I don't want to return. The potatoes and other vegetables were basically simmered for I'd guess maybe 5 minutes. The potatoes were crunchy and not cooked. The sauce tasted great though and actually packed some heat that I wish the noodles dish would have had. Another note is that this dish came in a foil lined styrofoam container! What. a. mess. Curry is basically the consistency of a stew and it was a ridiculous choice IMO to do a carryout order of curry packaged that way. Anywhere I have ever been and ordered a curry it always comes in a soup container. I wish I would have liked it better because of the more varied menu than what Thai Diner has, but I'd rather stick with something that's consistently good. read more

Went today . Yelp said they open at 4:00pm. NOOOOO they don't . They open at 4:30 pm. So we went on a little drive around the area till then. They have spiffed up the dining room. Looks nice . Wide open space still, but I like it open like that. Some places feel cramped with tables too close together. We ordered almost the same thing as last time, except the Shrimp Tempora. Everything was smoking hot and delicious. First time Husband had Pad Thai. He loved it too. I tasted it and it was delicious. My usual Pad See eew was excellent. The Waiter - Cashier is always very nice and always checks on us. Great service !! Wish more people would frequent this place. Keep them in business in S.W. We need more Thai- Burmese places out in this area. Please try them out. Carry out is brisk, but nothing tastes better than piping hot from the kitchen. I know they pack the food well for carry out, but relaxing and being served at lunch and dinner ? Aaah man !! That's were it's at. read more

Thai Metta Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

I just moved to town and I love Thai food. I tried this place last week for lunch ( carry out), and it was ridiculously good! The prices are more than fair, the food was well prepared and the servings were generous...in fact I'm getting ready to order lunch again today. For anyone wondering how hot "Hot" is here? PDH! ( Pretty Darn Hot!) I'm no stranger to genuinely spicy food, but because I know that some Thai is absolutely scorching, I opted for medium spiciness and it was perfect...hot/spicy but also very flavorful, as Thai food should be. This place doesn't seem to be getting the buzz it deserves, and while I know there's a lot of competition in this particular part of town, but thus far, of all the Thai places I've tried, this has been my fave so far. Give it a try, you won't be sorry. read more

I needed a good replacement when my favorite Thai restaurant went out of business. This place nails it! Their Panaang Curry is spot on with all the right flavors and vegetables. While the ambiance leaves something to be desired - it's a great hidden gem and I can't wait to go back and eat more dishes. read more

Yummy local place. We loved the Thai iced tea tasted like desert. Our favorite appetizers were the mango curry that comes with rice (although heads up - mild still has some kick to it) and Thai Street Food was top notch. Would definitely eat here again!! read more

I read reviews and thought we would try! Curry is fabulous. We tried all of them. Loved the dumplings, Satay was okay, tad dry. We also ordered the special (beef). 5/5 on the food. Service was average to great. We arrived our second time when they unlocked so I understand a slight wait- but our server was entertaining and checked on us often. Ambiance needs some work- not exactly "fancy"- but comfortable booths. I was cold, but it's probably just me. Definitely worth checking out! read more

First things first, I love the food here! Big fan of the Thai Raman they have, also their Crab Rangoon!

2/19/2023 A simple dish from this place has put me and my Thai friend at odds lol. I had their curry before and it was legit. This day i stopped by for their papaya salad and it was delicious and fresh! The chicken that came with it, i was surprised that it was just two flats but it was very good! The sticky rice was hot and delicious. The lady who assisted me was very kind, as i waite d for my takeout meal i couldnt help but reminisce about the buffet that was there years ago (because im fat) I told my friend that theirs were very close to hers, she didnt like that LMAO. I will be back for more Thai dishes because im probably not gonna eat hers for a while. read more

Seriously, if you haven't eaten here and like Thai food, you need to make time and visit!

Good food when you dine in. When I got takeout for the first time, I ordered extra protein on everything. Soup had maybe 3-4 shrimp. I should've brought a slotted spoon to check before I left the place. Sheesh. Great food though. Just won't get takeout ever again. read more

Meh. Crab Rangoon was dense and chewy and lukewarm. The red curry? looked like yellow curry and had a weird, mealy texture to the sauce. The stir fried noodles were decent, with good flavor, but was too heavy on the noodles and light on the vegetables. We both ordered Thai hot, which wasn't even close to being hot enough. All this, and an uninspired, kind of creepy, 80s rundown interior. There are better places in town for thai food that are comparable in price. Just skip a visit here and save yourself the underwhelming experience. read more

My kid and I love this place. It's rarely busy when we go, which is surprising because the food is very good.

Delicious!! We ordered the Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Mango Curry. All were delicious. We ordered mild and the curry and pad Thai were just spicy enough without being too much. The mango curry was so good!! I ordered take out and it was done very fast. The ambiance of dining in could be a little better, the dining area is a little too open, they should add tables in the middle between the booths lining the walls. It feels too open. The service was great and I'll definitely be ordering again soon! So good. read more
