Really tasty dishes, with lots of imagination with simple ingredients. No frills and will probably remind you of a road side cafe but the food is far tastier than restaurants costing 3/4 times the price. Highly recommend

We were staying a few doors away and wanted an early meal before a concert. Really good value, super quick as it’s a buffet and the food was absolutely fine. It’s £10.95 folks, a bargain. Fresh food was being brought out all the time to replenish the available options. Suitable for meat eaters and vegetarians.

EXACTLY like a Thai cafe in Thailand, complete with the window full of food, the little tables and chairs, the less than no frills decor and the buffet style service. Food was nice too. Very good.

Compact and bijou Brown Rice lies in the heart of Notting Hill's bustle. A simple affair serving Thai food, buffet style. Very good value for London. Not a huge choice of food, but all very authentic and tasty. Ambience is akin to standard cafe, i e. it doesn't feel very Thai at all. BTW guys...get your front of house to crack a smile once in a while.
