Thai Rice

This perennially busy restaurant, decorated in shades of turquoise & with a conservatory dining room at the rear, is located at the shabbier end of Portobello by the Westway, but is so popular that it has extended into the premises next door. The huge menu offers possibly every Thai dish you could conceive of: starters of spicy sausages, dim sum & baked scallops, mains of succulent, stewed duck & delicately flavoured, coconutty curries, lighter options such as a sweet, spicy & sour salad with salted crab, or a more unusual special such as seafood souffle with Thai red curry mousse in a hot clay pot. With consistently good cooking, it’s easy to see why the place is such a success.
