We went on a date to Rice and honestly had such a great time, the wait staff were so tentative and so happy to help, we had some amazing chats with some of the staff, Chap was incredible and gave us everything we needed and helped us with the menu, and Tihir's bright smile and engaging chat really made our time there, couldn't recommend it enough, and that's not even mentioning how great the food was.
I was looking forward to revisiting Rice Thai it's been beautifully refurbished lately. There are two restaurant rooms in adjacent buildings and we were in the newer building on this occasion. You cannot fault the staff and service, they are so lovely there and offer you advice on the best combo's of dishes. The menu is a little confusing when it comes to allergies and dietary requirements because one dish had Ve next to it but clearly stated it had egg in it. I'd need to do a bit more investigation before taking my Coeliac daughter here. The mixed meat sharing starter is amazing I've had this twice now. For seconds I ordered jadmierice and lemon grass chicken. The chicken was a little underwhelming, I think I expected the flavours to be less subtle. Next time I go I'll ask for advice on more flavoursome dishes.
Only downside was that despite booking we had to wait for a table (I got the impression we'd been overlooked) and when we were seated we were in the window (good) next to a table of happy but inappropriate drunk middle aged men (not good) who insisted on giving us their leftover wine and a half drunk bottle of beer...which he kindly wiped his spit off for us. Apparently they're regulars so maybe check they're not in the night you book if you want a nice peaceful dinner!
The staff did look apologetic and one staff member came over when they'd gone to ask if they were OK to us. So that was kind of them.

This has been our first time visiting this restaurant as we wanted to try more Thai food as we find it particularly tasty and healthy.
We entered and straight away the decor called my attention, it was sober but classy at the same time, the right mixture, in my humble opinion.
It has been a very nice experience due to the excellent service that deserves praise on its own, we received a warm welcome from the attentive waitress and soon after we were presented with the menus which are extensive and you feel spoilt for choice.
We went for the seafood platter for two as a starter, as we are seafood lovers. It looked impressive, but it paled in comparison with the flavour, a must try.
After it my wife went for duck and I chose lamb, both dishes were flavourful and we accompanied them with two side dishes of rice, garlic for me and coconut for my other half.
The drinks menu is extensive and gives ample choice.
It goes without saying that we will be back for more.

Rice, Rice, baby !
Another fantastic meal at Rice! The starters of tempura prawns and grilled aubergine were both spot on – light, fresh, and full of flavour. Our mains of red Thai curry and dry meat curry were absolutely delicious, and the side of morning glory was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly cooked.
Loving the new restaurant space – it’s modern, welcoming, and a great reflection of owner Nurul’s passion. It was also lovely to see how the renovations are progressing next door. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.
A big thank you to all the staff for making our anniversary meal feel so special!
