Had a lovely time. Staff very friendly.
Not too many customers when I ate there on a weekday. No-one wore masks.
My friend is a regular here. I had sesame prawn toast starter (huge portion big enough to share). Very yummy noodle dish with king prawns. Don't recall name 🤦🏻♀️
The restaurant at front has the most creative ambience. We sat at the back at the top of the stairs on the way down to the toilet(!)

First and foremost the service was friendly and relaxed - good start. The pad Thai with grilled king prawns was decent, good taste and good portions. Tried green jelly juice, unusual, didn’t dislike it, would opt for Thai ice tea with milk any day if given the choice. Loved the Thai fish cakes starter!

Friendly service but my vegetable pad Thai came as noodles with one single and lonely piece of broccoli. When I questioned it, they said they had put mushroom in there for me and they could order extra serve of vegetables at an extra cost. Ridiculous. It all worked out, as I crossed the road to try Banana Tree instead and had delicious, fresh, vegetable filled dish.

I just went to Thai Rice for the second time, and it was pretty good. We had a nice server who came to pour more water into our glasses when needed and she was quick when taking our orders. I had the vegetarian spring rolls, which I couldn't complain about, and veggie pad Thai noodles, which were fine but I felt a bit sick halfway through eating them. Very oily food, but maybe that's just me. Regardless, I had a nice time with my friend and the atmosphere was good. Not too crowded and very accessible (literally across from Maida Vale station). I don't know if I would recommend it

Thai Rice is an oasis of hope in the barren takeaway desert that is Maida Vale. Why? The prices are cheap, the service is friendly and fast with a family feel, and the food is great. The Pad Thai and Yellow Curries in particular are fantastic, and the lighting and cocktails are enjoyable if decide to dine in. Big fan of this place. Would be five stars if the potions were just a weency bit bigger. But I appreciate that may be me being a greedy western fatty.

We are good old fashioned customers who like to get what you pay for. We were disappointed to pay 50 quid for a poor meal experience. Wait staff were many but appeared to actively avoid us at those key meal moments- waiting to order, having finished our drinks and wanting the bill, but were present in abundance to take our dishes well before we had finished. The dish containing an unchewable piece of meat managed to remain on our table until after we had left for some reason. The Thai Rice Platter starter of deep fried goodness was pleasing as all things deep fried are. Sadly the mains left alot

Pretty decent food and pretty decent prices. A good selection of fairly unusual things, and soft-shell crab almost everything, now that it's the season, which is nice.
Super nice and friendly wait staff who are undeniably patient with the giant arseholes who seem to frequent the place and are terribly rude, typically.

I was impressed with Thai Rice. Conveniently located directly across from the Maida Vale stop on the tube it's convenient and tasty.
Surprising large drink menu. I mean really large. Loads of wines and spirits. Not so much on tap.
Excellent Tom Kha soup. Adorable waiters but be prepared to do just that... wait. And wait. Is that our food? No, more waiting. Don't be in a hurry for the adorably dysfunctional Thai Rice.
