Lively Thai diner vibe with bold, often very spicy cooking and warm service; tasty but pricey with smaller portions and some saltiness complaints.
Speedboat Bar delivers bold, vibrant Thai cooking with standout noodles and crispy preparations, backed by warm, attentive service that guides diners through spice levels and menu choices. However, inconsistent seasoning and occasional dryness prevent higher grades, while tight seating and small portions at premium pricing limit appeal beyond its energetic Portobello scene. Worth visiting for the punchy flavors and lively atmosphere, but not a destination-level establishment.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (many mains £14-22, signatures to £29) plus 14.5% service
