Speedboat Bar at The Electric

Its quite busy on a Friday night so I recommend you book it beforehand! Loved the cha yen, the corn fritters, and the chicken skin. The pad see ew noodles texture was spot on but the sauce was too salty. The crispy pork curry was good and has a soft kick to it. My favorite was the pineapple pie with taro ice cream. The staff were super nice and friendly and even gave us a birthday surprise.

hadnt had the chance to check out the original in soho/chinatown but only heard good things so was excited to try it when a branch opened up on portobello. cool looking spot with great service. the pork belly was tender with a nice crunch on top and came with a really nice, tangy sauce. sweetcorn fritters were crispy and moreish, we were sat at the bar so nice to see this all being made in front of us. our favourite starter though was the chicken and green mango salad, amazing dressing on this one (recommended by our server Nuria). the tom yam mama was another top dish, that soup is super flavourful and rich. the portions feel a bit small for the price but the food was all delicious

enjoyed our lunch here, food was very flavourful and done well. 2 notes, the pork curry was extremely spicy - maybe put some chilli’s on the menu or telling us when ordering would be good. i could feel the spice the whole day! also the portion sizes are quite small. fried fish was really tasty, with a tangy and slightly spicy sauce!

Took my parents there, my dad loves spicy and I am sure it tickled some senses! Menu is perfect not too much. The service was amazing, very attentive and great knowledge on how to eat the dishes. Drinks was great, well the non alcoholic ones anyway, the Thai tea and green tea!. My Thai friends have also had an evening here and left smiling, all thumbs up from there!!!!!! Will definitely come again soon! Also atmosphere was very busy and fast, very positive energy!!!

As a Thai🇹🇭I can say this place serves truly authentic Thai foods! The beef tongue curry, crispy pork, and fried fish yum were delicious and spicy. Highly recommended! The fried skin chicken tasted good, but a bit cold. (Better to warm it) However, we felt a bit rushed to order from the waiter but she was nice anyway.

I had such a great time at the speedboat bar for the first time! I definitely recommend booking a table in advance; it can be a bit tricky to find one if you just walk in. My friend and I kicked things off with some delicious chicken skins seasoned with zaep and crispy pork paired with Prix Nam Som. For our main course, we went with a tasty stir-fry of rice noodles with beef and soy sauce, and some minced beef with Holy Basil. To top it all off, we indulged in a dessert of Pineapple pie with Taro ice cream and Mango pudding with Red Pomelo. Everything was absolutely delightful!

I had a fantastic experience at Speedboat on Portobello Road in The Electric. As soon as I walked in, the atmosphere was buzzy and lively but still welcoming. I was greeted by the manager, Christian, who made sure I was looked after straight away. I came in alone and was seated at the bar, which I actually really liked, it was comfortable and gave me a great view of the action. The staff were excellent, super friendly and checked in on me a few times to make sure everything was good. I asked for recommendations and was suggested the crispy chicken salad to start, followed by noodles with beef. Both were absolutely delicious. The salad was so fresh and full of flavour that I wished I’d ordered two! The noodles had a great smoky flavour, the beef was perfectly cooked, and the spice level was just right. I also had a cocktail which was really well made and complemented the food nicely. The location is also a big plus. It’s easy to find and in a really good spot on Portobello Road. Parking in the area is usually straightforward, free from 1:30 pm on Saturdays and in the evenings, which makes it super convenient. What I also really liked was that there were quite a few single diners, so it felt very normal to be eating alone. For me, that’s a big bonus since I often enjoy dining solo, but it’s also a great place to come with friends. I would highly recommend this place, I would say book a table as it get's very busy. Great buzzy vibe 10/10

Everything was SO flavorful. The wide rice noodles were a highlight. The food came out super quickly and the staff explained everything very well. I’ll definitely be going back to try more!
