Speedboat Bar at The Electric

This is the most authentic Thai food I’ve had in London! The cuisine and recipes were brought straight from Bangkok’s Chinatown and tastes incredible (especially if you like spicy food). Everything I ordered was tasty and popped with flavors. I’ll definitely be coming back!

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

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.

What a fantastic experience!!! Marco and Peppe gave us an outstanding service, very professionals and knowledgeable Lexy, the head chef was so nice to cook us a special dish off the menu!!! Very cool place!! Great experience, my new favourite proper Thai restaurant in London

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!

Amazing food, atmosphere, and service. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well-organised. The dishes were beautifully presented and full of flavour, and the ambience of the restaurant made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Mia, the manager, was fantastic, attentive, friendly as Glenda the waitress. and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest had a great time.

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!

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!
