Thai Rice in Sefton

We have celebrated many birthdays at Thai Rice [ a few of them with 0 on the end!] This was a 70th and my tempura veg was crispy and sweet followed by a smooth green curry with fluffy rice all served with friendliness and style . One of the aspects we love about Thai Rice is the food is always good and often excellent so you can rely on super cuisine every time. Thanks for a lovely birthday lunch ! What puzzles us is that the restaurant wasn't packed . You should have to fight for places the food is so good !

Absolutely love this place, staff are always friendly and attentive. The food has never disappointed us and we have been going here for years now.

This was our first visit here after wanting to try it for a while. The food was so fresh tasting and delicious. I have only really had Thai curry's before so we decided to try the set menu A so that we could try a few different things and they were all lovely and tasty. The staff were very friendly and welcoming too. Will definitely be back.

Amazing Thai food. The food was delicious and very tasty. Reasonable priced. Very friendly service and professional staff. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Have booked this restaurant twice and had to cancel due to change of circumstances hence finally made it. Could not fault as menu choice great and really authentic. Food quality excellent with quick although not rushed service. Staff were attentive although not oppresive and allowed us sufficient time to eat our meal without being hurried. Drinks menu sufficient and not overpriced. Busy Saturday night although all seemed in control and very pleasant ambiance. My 10 year old daughter's favourite meal of all time in Southport (duck with pancakes) and wants to come back again which of course we will oblige.

We ate here for the first time this evening, wow the food was amazing authentic Thai food, best we’ve had for a long time all the staff was friendly and couldn’t do enough for you! Highly recommend, we even took some food home and ordered extra for take away! A must visit

Went for a Mother’s day meal . This is an occasion restaurant and it is a perfect size for a cosy dining experience. The service is attentive but not over bearing . The food is tasty and fresh . Average pricing that prefers cash . It’s a real gem

First visit for myself with a friend last night who recommended this place to me a while back and I’ve been longing to go. The wait did not disappoint. Simply delicious Thai food with super fresh ingredients and the most welcoming and friendly staff. Reasonably priced too so will definitely return 👍😊

This is a gem of a restaurant in Southport. If you like Thai food then you will not be disappointed. Great place. Have been many times and always great food and a lovely atmosphere.

Amazing food again when visiting with the family for my son’s birthday . The staff are so welcoming and the food is delicious and beautiful presented. It’s my favourite Thai restaurant. We love the sharing platters to start and everyone loved their food. We had various Thai curries and stir fries with different rices. All excellent. The set menu was really good too

Here for dinner with a couple of friends part way through a night out. The place itself is nice, and the staff super friendly and helpful. Service was very good throughout. There's a big menu, lots of choice, but to simplify matters we decided on their set menu B. See their website for details. After the mains, for dessert, I had the deep fried Ice cream. A block of Ice cream, wrapped in filo pastry and fried, served with a sauce. All the food was delicious, and full of flavour. And all washed down with some Thai beer, also very nice. That said, I did have a couple of reservations. I thought the portion sizes could've been a little larger, for the price (not the dessert, which was huge). For instance (and not to sound greedy), the steamed rice that accompanied the mains I could've ate myself. Once split between three it seemed a bit meagre. And on one dish there was brocolli. But when I bit into it it was raw, and so very hard. Maybe it was supposed to be garnish, but you see brocolli, you're gonna (try an) eat it... Niggles aside, It was a beautiful meal, and I would (and very likely will) go back. For Thai food fans I'd happily recommend paying them a visit when in town.

Excellent food , friendly helpful staff, restaurant clean and lovely decor, we had set meal A was a good choice

Excellent restaurant, very helpful polite staff and top notch authentic food. The atmosphere is great, very relaxed one of the best Thai meals we had on our visit here and we cannot wait to go back. There is wide variety of choices both for food and drinks, if you like Thai food visit to this place is a must!

First time visiting Thai Rice, though have had take away from here which was excellent. The service in the restaurant was good without being overbearing. Food was delicious and good value for money.

From walking in greeted with a warm smile food was exceptional the service fantastic very attentive and atmosphere brilliant well worth a visit

Excellent service, food and atmosphere. Staff are very welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Food all very fresh and tasty. Very reasonably priced too. Would definitely return when back in the area

The banquet for 2 was the best we've ever had in England, Sydney and Melbourne. Thanks to the staff for fabulous friendly service too. What an excellent meal. Our GO TO restaurant now!

Absolutely brilliant Thai food and the service was excellent must be one of the best Thai restaurants in the country. Well worth the visit.

POSITIVES: - high quality service - food served in decent time - acceptable prices - tasty curries NEGATIVES: - pad Thai was too sweet - dessert menu too expensive Would recommend and go again.

Visited Thai rice again, last time 4 Yr ago still one of best that's I have had and in my opinion should be higher in southport list

Had a great meal. The service was excellent, friendly and efficient. The owner was happy to suggest options, all of which were delicious Highly recommended

Absolutely stunning. Go for the things you don’t see on other Thai menus. Recommending 62 with 1 🌶️, 68 and some veggie noodles for a couple. Wow!

We have been to Thai Rice, many times. Great restaurant with amazing food. The prices seem very reasonable and they do take out food too 👍

This is a little gem best thai around food gorgeous and staff are lovely and friendly been coming here for few years now and never fails to impress 😀

Been here many times & had great meals however this time wasn't good. Booked a table & arrived on time, starters came & were good, then the mains arrived and again good food - struggled to order drinks. By now it was 9.30 & we...

We've been meaning to try this place for years but never got around to it. However, needed to be in Southport on Friday night so thought we would pay them a visit. Very welcoming and tables nicely spaced. Decent menu choice a reasonable prices. They...

Stayed over at the Vincent for the night and fancied some noodle. Found this little secret on google, just a few minutes away in the car. Absolutely delicious, honestly. The food is top notch and they staff are so nice and so attentive. Even if...

I was recommended to have the sweet & sour duck with sticky rice by regulars to this restaurant. I wasn’t disappointed, it was fresh, plenty of duck & very tasty. My husband had the chilli beef which was also very good.

Superb authentic food served by friendly,welcoming staff.We have been coming here for years and it never disappoints.We look forward to our next visit.

I have nothing amazing to say, but nothing bad to say either. Staff were courteous, food was average. I would not return here.

Avoid this Thai restaurant. Ordered three meals for takeaway, and two out of the three were wrong. One was the complete wrong meal. The second wrong meal was a Massaman curry, there was broccoli in it and no peanuts. I rang the restaurant and the...

Having not visited Southport for a long time we decided to have a a couple of nights break with family . After a terrific day firstly on Ainsdale beach and a lovely lunch at Dukes also in delightful Ainsdale we headed back to our hotel....

Fantastic good, so much choice and have never had a bad meal. Staff are very helpful, friendly and accommodating. This is our favourite restaurant to visit and think it’s a hidden gem!

Lovely tasty meal. Friendly staff. The staff altered the dish to make it a little hotter and it was perfect. This was the first time we have been there and it was excellent. We will be back, many thanks.

Visited off the cuff full but found us a table as couple was just leaving excellent food & wine with very friendly & welcoming staff a must visit if in the area.

This was such a friendly restaurant with delious food. We just dropped in but I would advise booking as we were lucky to get a table. The staff were very polite and attentive food was superb great cuisine. Good priced food. Top of the list...

Excellent meal with 2 friends on a stormy Saturday evening. Town was quiet, but Thai Rice was bustling - and now I know why. Extra-friendly service, quality ingredients and cooking and the presentation was spot on. Well-priced bottles of Singha Beer (£3.25) helped the meal...

Dined here in the evening the staff make you feel instantly welcome with friendly service throughout the evening. Food was of a good standard with substantial portions both of starters and main courses. They serve an excellent full bodied red wine which is often lacking...

What a little gem of a find.starting with authentic prawn crackers followed by the mixed platter starter and the duck starter between 4 of us. Absolutely lovely. The spring rolls were my favourite. I ordered Thai green curry with chicken and my husband the red. We were both blown away with the authentic flavours and taste. The children whilst not having a menu had a satay starter and noodles, and fries. The only element that was a little strange but tasty was the extra green sauce on the satay starter in the meal and mixed starter. It was nice but didn’t mix well with the peanut sauce. The restaurant itself was super clean and efficiently ran. The children had an elderflower cordial which made a fab change for them and we had white wine which was simple but tasty. From the outside it looked like a glorified greenhouse however the plants and sparkly lights when inside were providing such a pleasant atmosphere. No photos unfortunately as we tucked in too quickly

Was recommended Thai Rice of Southport. First visit had Express lunch ..excellent food and service ..will defo be returning with friends. Even managed to get a parking space right outside £1.50 hour £3 for 2hours. Had to put all this info Cos trip advisor kept telling me to write more characters

An Evening out with friends. My fist time here - but my friends visit frequently. Was recommended the duck samosa as a starter, which came piping hot & crispy with a tasty hoi-sin sauce. The Pork Spare Ribs looked like a generous plateful. I chose the classic Pad Thai with prawns … lovely & fresh - but I would have preferred a bit more seasoning. My friends had Mussaman curry and a Beef Red curry …. The sauces were delicious! Meal for 4 with beers cost £84. Looking forward to another visit & am going to try something with 1 or 2 chilli symbols !

We ended up here by chance on a rainy Friday night as we’d parked nearby and so glad we did! We got the last table so we’re lucky. The food was amazing! The 3 of us had 3 courses all of which were beautiful and very tasty! I’m not familiar with Thai food but love spice and all dishes were extremely tasty and beautifully presented(yes even the flowers made out of a swede !) we will be sure to return again.

Just been for lunch and food and service again very good.Just read the review from patk, and must say probably the taste buds were impaired with the rose'. My wife usually has the pad thai and today as usual flavoured with the tamarind was of a very high standard.Highly recommend this restaurant.Ted Baxter

I very really write mediocre reviews they’re all usually glowing, credit where it’s due, or sadly discredit where it is NOT. I use Tripadvisor ALL the time (as I travel A LOT) and I usually (apart from the typical whiners (who are never satisfied) I find it broadly a wonderfully good source for good direction. Sadly this meal, at this restaurant was pretty dismal to say the least, and the least was the coriander in my Pad Thai, it was actually the biggest flavour hit of the whole meal. Which was Bland, bland and blander still, nothing had any taste or flavour, or interest. A fancy cut flower turnip was still a piece of boring turnip, the prawns where completely tasteless and I swopped two of my supposed marinaded tasteless calamari for a tasteless green curry spring roll from my husband, who had actually ordered a green curry samosa ‍♀️ I told the English waitress, as I paid the bill, though she clearly hadn’t told the Thai staff, of my disappointment, however they seemed to quickly check that I’d paid the full whack. They did not seem in the least concerned that we were so badly let down. £16,75 for a bottle of house rosé, was OK, but I’d have to say that was probably at least an £11 mark up. Any genuine reviewers of this place feel free to convince me otherwise, I even suggested the chef might have been on holiday, but seems not, and the other people in the restaurant where also getting VERY fast food delivered to their table, which isn’t consistent with our dozen or more times visiting Thailand, or other Thai restaurants.

Had a meal here Saturday evening. Excellent service, friendly staff and the food was gorgeous. Would thoroughly recommend Thai Rice for a meal.

We visited mid September and really enjoyed our meal. Starter platter to share was delicious and main courses were even better. Large portions and reasonably priced. Staff were so friendly!

Typicle Thai Restaurant. Drinks and main course, rice not included, reasonable prices. I thought £3.50 for a side of rice was a bit over the top. Other than that, everything OK

Ate here on bank holiday Monday, in the evening, fairly busy. Would def book ahead next time. Food excellent, tasty and good quality, lots of choice. Enjoyed everything we had. Welcoming friendly staff.

Great atmosphere and friendly service. Warm and welcoming when you walk in. The smells!!! Just really nice colourful food. Very tasty lots of choice. And a decent price. Will hope to return.

Probably the best Thai meal we've had. Usually go to the Choapraya restaurants. But Thai Rice blasts them out the park.lovely me and friendly attentive staff.Top Nosh.

When we visit Southport, which is quite a few times, we always book a meal here. Let me say it is the BEST restaurant that I know of in Southport. None have matched their great food and service and believe me we have tried quite a few in Southport. I recommend it. Good food, good service and a nice clean atmosphere

Absolute gem of a restaurant hidden up a side street off Lord Street. Food was amazing. I’m coeliac and they provided me with gf soya sauce to accompany my meal. Nothing was too much trouble. We will be back.

First visit. I was underwhelmed by the menu and then by the food.A significant lack of side dishes.Main courses are effectively a copy of four meals in a choice of four meats and a veggie option which is about half the menu.The mixed starter for two was far far from heute cuisine and mostly tasted of oil. My main, despite 3 chili's heat warning wasn't really hot and my partner thought the duck was far from the promised crispy that the menu promised.I did ask for a side that was off the menu (spicy omelette) which came as well though it was charged at £7.95 which was more like the cheaper mains than a side. 3 eggs lah!My partner enjoyed her Pad Thai very much but had to ask for extra spice condiments.Overall bill was £63 for two for dinner with two beers and the glasses of wine which is a bit steep.Unfortunately, later that night around 3am I felt a rumbling and sweats and then had an hours worth of food poisoning. Atmosphere wise the place was pretty good and it was full on a Saturday evening and notably half s dozen Asians in two groups but I couldn't say if they were regulars or first time visitors.

Lovely Thai meal. Went with the set menu, mixed starter then mains of beef, chicken, prawns, noodles and rice. All the dishes had a nice clean distinctive taste and were very good, preferred the red curry beef. We didn’t book but although it was busy they managed to squeeze us in. Friendly and helpful staff.

We had a great meal on Saturday night. The food was amazing, staff very attentive - would definitely return.

Beautiful food and caring attentive staff. We had the set meal B plus Tom Yum soup. Lovely meat and great tastes going off. 100% recommended.

Always good quality, great tasting food. We had takeaway last two times. Will return soon. You get a Free beer with takeaway and 15% off prices.

We have been to Thai rice on a number of occasions and it has always been great. We decided to go there last night for a meal, the meal was excellent as where the staff. My husband has to be very careful about his health especially during this time, the Covid procedures in the restaurant were strictly adhered to. It was so lovely to be out and feel safe. We will definitely visit again before too long.

We LOVE this place. We mainly go for the lunchtime menu in the day time and it’s always a treat. The service, food and value for money is second to none.

Looked for good restaurants to eat near our guest house before we arrived in Southport and also our guest house owners also recommended this lovely little Thai restaurant,very friendly staff & delicious food.We ordered a starter of spare ribs which were ok,& main courses of chicken pad Thai yellow curry & egg fried rice they were delicious, reasonably priced too.Well worth a visit when in Southport.Only a small restaurant but tables spaced out as they should be at the moment.

We stayed at Southport for the weekend of our 25th Wedding Anniversary and chose a Thai meal as we were married in Koh samui in 1995. (We would have gone back to Thailand if it hadn't been for Covid-19).Our hotel recommended this Thai restaurant and we were not disappointed. It was Covid safe and the service quick and efficient with lovely food. We didn't feel rushed but because the service was so efficient we did actually leave the restaurant quite early and had time for a stroll along the high street to walk off any excess.

Amazing authentic thai food! Covid precautionary measures were in place too. Can’t wait to visit there again the next time we are in Southport:)

Visited for first time for lunch. We both ordered green curry samosas for starters. Vegetable spring rolls arrived. Without thinking, I cut into one and then realised it was wrong. They were good so no problem, just not what expected. I did inform the lady as she cleared the table and suspect she didn’t understand me as she just smiled back in response. Main courses of Thai green curry and a chicken in ginger were both good. Small light restaurant. Very clean.

The rain was sheeting down on a cold, wet Saturday evening on what should have been the flower show weekend and by the time dinner came around, none of my gang could be bothered with getting glammed up and dining out.A search on Trip Advisor lead me to Thai Rice. And a great find it was too.I ordered a selection of starters, mains and sides that I thought our party of 6 would enjoy - with a little group input as well. Everyone raved about the quality and flavours of all the dishes. Ordering on the phone to collect was easy and I went to collect earlier than the allotted time and it was ready bang on time. Nice little touch from the owner was a couple of bottles of beer and two soft drinks on the house.Stand out dishes for us were the Thai Beef Salad, Beef Mussaman Curry, Ped Makham, Chickeb Grant Pe-NeangA great find and deffo on the list to return when back in Southport.. if the rain stops we may even dine in!

Exceptional flavours. Went here for a meal, first night in Southport. Best Thai experience I’ve had, definitely returning

This place is amazing been quite a few time and even during lockdown, the food is so fresh and tastes amazing!! My partner said it’s the best green Thai curry he has had since travelling Thailand a few years back!!

First time trying Thai rice last night and it was amazing! Thai red curry and the pad Thai was unreal, tasted so fresh. Definitely be going back!

This was my 4th visit to Thai Rice - the previous 3 having been to dine in the restaurant and on each occasion I had enjoyed my meal.With the current "lock-down" due to the Covid19 virus, take away was the only option available.At about 5.30pm on a Wednesday evening, I phoned my order and was advised it would be about 20 minutes.I duly arrived and was warmly greeted. Yes, my food was ready. Excellent.Exchange of food carrier bag & cash was handled thoughtfully & professionally - the female chef bringing the food out of the kitchen & placing it on a table away from the counter and then retreating. Basically, physical distances were maintained and hand gel was available on the counter top. All very reasuring.Well done Thai Rice.The venue is ornate & authentic inside, displaying lots of Thai character.Service was friendly, helpful and efficient throughout.I was also given a complimentary can of coca cola as a "thank you" and unknown to me at the time of collection, a complimentary portion of banana fritters & syryp. A lovely touch.The menu is well designed giving sufficient descriptions of each dish - most of your regular Thai favourites are included and are well priced.I chose:"Thai Rice" Special Fried Rice (containing king prawns & chicken) at £7.95Pad Si-Ew - rice noodles with egg, veggie, pork & dark soy sauce at £6.95.A side of tamarind sauce (£2.50)The rice dish and the tamarind sauce went well todgether. The king prawns & chicken were moist & tasty.However, the Pad Si-Ew disappointed.Instead of glutonous, wide, fat flat rice noodles, the noodles here were thin and tastless, not absorbing the sauce like they should do.The cauliflower florets were a little too "al dente". The dish had no depth or subtlty of flavour and had a distinct lack of dark soy sauce. Portion size was good and all ingredients were fresh and of good quality (except for those rice noodles!)In summary the food is well priced, attractively presented and freshly cooked. Whilst I was disappointed with one dish, I would still return to Thai Rice and can recommend it.PRO TIP: when things get back back to normal after Covid19, there are two friendly bars next door to Thai Rice on Bold Street - Paul`s Bar and Kokomo - both well worth a try before and/or after your meal.

We eat here many times,I’ve eaten lots of meals from the menu all deliciously authentic,my partner alway goes for duck with tamarind sauce and crispy noodles she loves it and one of my favourites.if you like Thai food it’s a must!!!

The most authentic Thai food we’ve had since being in Thailand. Absolutely lovely! Pad Thai and Red Curry were out of this world. We went for the lunch menu too so great value!!

Lovely meal at Thai rice we took friends and we all really enjoyed the food. Great service too. We'll be back soon

Myself and family have been coming here for many years now. Food and service is flawless every single time. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Decor is beautiful. Lovely atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone!

We visited today on the strength of Trip Advisor reviews but it was disappointing. My husband had a chef’s special but the crispy chicken was covered in skin and gristly bits under the coating. There was minimal chicken served. My Massaman curry was ok but lacked real flavour and was a bit “claggy.” We’ve had better food in the Giggling Squid chain. Service was good but the restaurant interior was a bit tacky and lacked class and ambiance. We won’t be going back, sorry.

Visit this restaurant at least once a month. The food is beyond tasty and nothing compares. It even inspired us to visit Thailand and I can honestly say apart from a few street food venders the food wasn’t as good. I adore this restaurant the staff are outstanding and being veggie is not a problem. Staff are so polite and humble. Absolutely fantastic!!

Nicely furnished, clean with friendly and efficient staff. Good selection of dishes available from the menu with variety of drinks. I visited with a group of wok colleagues and we opted for the set menu. Great selection of very tasty food which was served promptly and extra dishes provided in request. Very reasonably priced, well worth a visit which I will repeat for hen next visiting.

Best Thai food around! Friendly, attentive staff serving delicious, fresh food, what more do you want??

Amazing food,reasonably priced and great customer service. Will definitely be visiting again when we are next in Southport!

Good service, very reasonable prices. The menu features specific vegetarian options and there are plenty to choose from. I had tempura vegetables- nice and crisp but there was too much batter and too little veg. The Pad Thai was delicious.

We were recommended this restsurant by the owner of the guesthouse that we were staying in and it certainly didn't disappoint. The food was fabulous and the customer service was outstanding. We wiuld definitely recommend anyone who loves Thai food to try Thai Rice Restaurant.

I had one of the house special meals, it was delicious ...... I found the menu had a lot of choice and dishes that I had not come across in a Thai restaurant before. I have a number of food intolerance issues, being able to choose from their online menu with each dish clearly labelled for content even before arriving was amazing.

I have eaten in this restaurant many times and it never disappoints. The food is very authentic and made with quality, fresh ingredients.

Really friendly staff, food was amazing. Had mixed starter for 3, sweet and sour chicken, king prawn with garlic and peppers and beef with oyster sauce and broccoli. Fried rice was good. Good value

By far the best Thai Restraunt in Southport, been going here for years and never does the standard of the service or food drop. Would highly recommend for lunch , evening meal and we have had our Christmas meal here for the last three years !

By far my favourite restaurant in southport. Been coming here for years now and its always been perfect.

Great experience. Gluten free possibility. I love this very spiced food. / Czech: Lepší než většina anglického jídla. Třeba Fish and Chips.

While visiting Southport the other week, we popped in to get a takeaway. All I can say is that the food was fantastic. Probably the best Thai food I've tasted outside of Thailand so far (and I've been there 3 times). Oh and thanks for the free coke we got with our meals. Would highly recommend Thai Rice.

I visited at no notice and was warmly greeted and very impressed with the attentive service. I had never been here before and the food was fast to arrive and tasted great. I will be back with a larger table in September.

Excellent evening out as ever Fancied the sea food dish however the 3 pepper score scared me to death so asked for mild version No issue at all A’s dishes are made to order Looking fwd to return again in near future

Me, my wife and a couple of our friends were looking for a restaurant at short notice and came across this one online. We called in advance to check whether they had any tables and they said it was no problem. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious.

Excellent food, great service and very helpful staff! We would love to come back and strongly recommend to other people!

Gave it benefit of doubt after having indifferent meal 2yrs ago, thougth might have improved in trying times ?wrong infact got worse!!!!

We had set menu A what a treat flavours were amazing quality and flavours were tantalising our starters were superb and our mains were brilliant don't know how you do it all for £19.95 each our only complain was the rice was a bit stodgy but that did not spoil our experience

I’ve been to this restaurant many times and the food is normally delicious, however tonight I found it rather disappointing.

A midweek meal at Thai Rice in the centre of Southport,very friendly staff good menue typical Thai decor, reasonable price a good range of food from mild to very hot and spicy. Will be back again.

Southport can get rather quiet on a Sunday evening—the friendly welcome and delicious food was much appreciated by two new visitors. Just the right amount of spicy peppers!

Nice little restaurant, with attractive decor and friendly staff. The food was very tasty but could have been better if the plates were on warmers as by the time we finished it had all gone cold (we were sharing a few dishes between us)

Superb food great service and really good value for money. Took friends who were slightly dubious about Thai food as they don’t like spicy food. After the visit they said it was the best meal they had had for a long time. Recommend the banquets as you get a feel for all types of fish and meat.

After a gap of far too long I returned for lunch to this old favorite of mine wondering if it was still as good as I remember. Delighted to find it was, in fact due to the time apart it seemed even better. Chicken Sate' starter just wonderful and a good selection of main courses on the lunch time menu. A really good meal.

We found this little GEM last year and were still raving about it 12 months on. Needless to say it was our first choice for our dining experience during our Bank Holiday weekend.

Our second visit, very good again, food, service and value is excellent. This time a member of the party had certain allergies, the menu clearly indicates allergies and a query we had on a certain meal was sorted really efficiently by knowledgeable staff. Well worth a visit.
