Rosa's Thai Richmond is a welcoming Thai restaurant at 26 Hill Street, a short walk from Richmond station and the riverside. The restaurant follows founder Saiphin Moore’s approach of bringing the flavours of Thai homes and street stalls into an informal neighbourhood setting. Familiar favourites sit beside regional recipes, with plenty of dishes suitable for sharing across the table.
Starters bring together prawn crackers, spring rolls, chicken satay, Thai fried chicken, fresh summer rolls and other crisp or grilled bites. Som tam and glass noodle salad use chilli, herbs, vegetables and sharp dressings to create a lighter contrast. Soups and smaller plates build on lemongrass, lime, coconut and aromatic spices, introducing the central balance of sweet, sour, salty and hot flavours.
Pad Thai is cooked to order with egg, tamarind sauce, crushed peanuts and fresh lime, with chicken, prawns or meat free additions available. Drunken noodles combine fresh chilli, Thai basil and krachai, while fried rice brings egg and vegetables together in the wok. Khao soi offers noodles in a creamy northern Thai curry broth with pickled vegetables, herbs, lime and a crisp noodle topping.
Curries and stir fries allow guests to choose between vegetables and tofu, chicken, beef, pork or prawns across a range of heat levels. Stir fried aubergine with yellow bean sauce and Thai basil provides a distinctive vegetable dish. Mango with warm coconut sticky rice, banana roti, Thai style churros, ice cream and tamarind dressed brownie give the menu several sweet ways to finish.
