London’s New Restaurant Openings - London - The Infatuation

"Speedboat Bar is opening a second spot on Portobello Road inside The Electric—so good food and a film is very much the vibe. For anyone not familiar with the original fun and fiery Thai spot, expect dishes like crispy pork and black pepper curries and, fan favourite, the pineapple pie with taro ice cream. On Fridays and Saturdays, Speedboat Bar will open until 1am." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

Speedboat Bar at The Electric - Review - Notting Hill - London - The Infatuation

"Speedboat Bar on Portobello Road is located inside The Electric—so good food and a film is very much the vibe. For anyone unfamiliar with the fun and fiery Thai spot which has a location in Chinatown, the menu is full of dishes like crispy pork and black pepper curries and, fan favourite, the pineapple pie with taro ice cream. On Fridays and Saturdays, Speedboat Bar opens until 1am. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Sinéad Cranna

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!!!

So exciting to visit this new location! The food is amazing, perfect for sharing so you can try more. Phew Pokati marg is my favourite drink - almost too easy to drink. Brilliant lively atmosphere, sitting on the bar is the perfect way to watch the chefs at work.

an unforgettable meal at Speedboat Bar - every dish was packed with flavour and totally authentic and don’t even get me started on the mango dessert..perfectly ripe, beautifully presented, and the ideal way to end the meal. The vibe was fun and energetic, and I genuinely wanted to go back the moment I left

Great experience here. Staffs are friendly. The vibe and decoration is authentic. Food is great, crispy noodle with pork and seafood is amazing, ingredients are fresh and cooked perfectly. Also enjoy the cellphane noodle, yumm You also can play the tabletop curling there! Will visit again!

Hello guys and Happy Sunday! Visiting Speedboat for the second time, but different location. (Notting Hill this time) Here is how I feel about the food. Noodles with beef is the best dish for me. Had flavor, unfortunately beef was bit dry. So maybe work on that and cut bigger pieces. The portion was way too small. Girl here 🤷‍♀️ guys I feel sorry for you and your protein! White rice was tasty. The curry had spice needed some salt! Please fix that, since it’s simple to do. Veggies completely undercooked! Big NO! Since it’s is a veggie curry dish! Decent portion. The naem fried rice was okey. Needs more flavor maybe even can be a bit crunchy, It would make it more interesting. Portion too small! The starter Crispy Pork with Prik Nam Som was absolutely the worst of all dishes! Too hard and not able to chew. No flavor and it was cold! Chefs big mistake immediately fix it! Hope this helped and good luck! Cheers to life🤗

Fantastic experience at the Speedboat bar on Portobello road. I'd been meaning to go to for a while and it did not disappoint. Firstly the atmosphere is hectic and very much transports you the noisy markets of bangkok. The restaurant was full to the brim and occupied by a very hip west London crowd. The decor is very authentic including the staff's uniform and the kitchen is open and busy with frequent flashes of 'wok hei' adding to the street market atmosphere. The food is the star of the show. The menu is not going to feel familiar - no red or green curries or pad thai. But that is what makes SB special. We had the pran ceviche, corn fritters, naem fried rice, morning glory, beef with basil and cellophane noodles with chicken. Every dish was delicious and on the hotter end of the spice scale. I would rate every dish at 5 - the prawn ceviche had delicious juicy prawns and a fiery sauce of chilli and lemongrass but I prefer the peruvian ceviche flavours and textures more so this is the only 4/5 dish but the rest for me were 5/5 The cocktail menu looked good too but we had the signature margarita and it was fantastic. Give it a go even if the menu seems unfamiliar at first. You won't regret it.

The food was amazing. Not only was the food so good, but the service and overall experience in the Speedboat overtook my expectations. From the time we went in to the bill, everything was so professional, friendly, and very well organised. Staff were very knowledgeable, funny, and seemed like they were passionate about what they were doing. I will definitely be back and recommend it to friends and family.

Visiting this new establishment was from local community of the launch of the Speedboat bar to Portebello. Firstly, given my overall review, the greeting staff was so amazing on our arrival and the bar staff super friendly and cool to assisting us in recommending some of the menu choices. Drinks menu is very impressive and done well by our amazing super bar guy serving us. We weren't too impressed unfortunately by the time in between each dishes as we ordered starters but our mains were coming different times sometimes 10-15mins in between and portions are not that big. I feel that for atmosphere and the vibe this is an exceptional place for Portebello but for real authentic Thai food this won't be our first choice however we will give it another chance next time.
