Diner Review №1

Not sure how the food tastes because they didn't give us any utensils with our take out order.

Diner Review №2

Food was ok.

Diner Review №3

The waiters were kind and when I order Thai spicy they didn’t hold back Bangkok style.!!!

Diner Review №4

This was my first time visiting this location. The staff were all friendly and very attentive. Had the Pineapple Fried Rice (with Chicken). I’m not a huge fan of spicy food so I had it mild. It was very delicious!

Diner Review №5

There is a lot of great Thai in town, but I come back to rice by mama 2 every single week. They are consistently delicious, and they deliver on spice!! I order takeout regularly, and it’s always ready so quickly, and their service is very kind. If you have allergies, they take great care of you. Very gluten-free friendly!

Diner Review №6

The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. We have different dietary restrictions (gluten free, plant based, nut allergy) and we all can eat here.

Diner Review №7

We ordered satay chicken, fresh shrimp rolls and masaman curry when on the date with my wife.
Rolls were served first and were more than adequate with excellent sauces. Peanut sauce was especially nice.
Satay chicken blew our minds. I couldn’t shed a memory how we had lok-loks one magical evening in Malaysia. This satay chicken was amazingly marinated, cooked and seasoned. Topped with peanut sauce it was delicious.
At this point we were full. Masaman curry wasn’t as good but at this point we didn’t want much food anyway.

Everything was wonderful about this dining experience. Even though i was full, i still admired dishes on neighboring tables. 10/10 would go back again.

Diner Review №10

I loooooved it! The food portions are amazing! I had enough left overs for two meals! The appetizers are phenomenal. The crab Rangoon has crab in it, the satay is spicy! They have BOBA! Lovely 10/10 recommend the Pad Thai and Pad Z ew!

Diner Review №11

My boyfriend and I LOVE Rice by Mama 2! We've been coming here for 2 years. We always get the drunken noodles and pineapple fried rice (medium spice for both). BOMB DOT COM 💣

Diner Review №13

Food is really good!

Diner Review №14

Was disappointed in the Thai fried rice with chicken. Very flavorless! We usually eat at the other Rice by Mama and it's waaay better over there! Cost us $80 for 2 Thai fried rice and one other dish with shrimp.

Diner Review №15

Great Thai food. Huge portions! Enjoyed the Pad Tai, drunken noodles and cashew nut. As well as some yummy edemame. Great location as well.

Diner Review №16

Not a safe place for people with allergies!
I ordered the roti which is specifically marked as gluten free. I then asked them to make sure it was made gutlen free. When they brought it to the table and I tasted it I knew something was wrong and asked them to check with the kitchen and they conformed that it was infact made with gluten.
I am very sensitive and going to be sick for a week because of this.
They need to fix their menu.

Diner Review №17

I just ordered a simple egg roll appetizer from Rice by Mama 2 and got terrible customer service from the waitress. I asked for my order and she completely dismissed me. When someone else arrived and asked if I wanted to get help first, I let her know that I had already gone but hadn’t been helped. The waitress then gave me attitude and told us that it wasn’t ready. My order said it had been ready by 6:50 pm yet I had not received it yet by 7:20 pm so my boyfriend went over to ask for it & got it within 2 minutes.

Someone who lacks good customer service skills should not be working at the front.

Food was really good and fresh. We tried the Thai fried rice with beef, Green curry rice with Chicken, and calamari. Really enjoyed all of it on the outside patio. Great service too!

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

Flavor of Tom Kha was a bit much. In used to a milder flavor that's not so 'in your face'.

Glass noodles, mixed veggies, and other items ordered were good.

Diner Review №26

This place has really nice staff, good Thai tea, good good noodles! And the tofu and veggie soup delicious!!! Stop by if you are want to try new food.

Diner Review №36

I love this place but yesterday I got the crab fried rice and there was a bunch of little pieces of crab shell in it. It's a really expensive dish so you wouldn't think that there would be bits of shell in it. It really ruined the meal overall.

Diner Review №37

Tasty vegetarian dishes.

Diner Review №38

For a place I've heard such good things about I couldn't be more disappointed in the food I ordered larb and it was the most bland and frankly incorrectly made thai food I've ever eaten for a business to have the audacity to charge extra for spicy and give me food completely devoid of any heat and to top it off when someone orders a drink with Boba who give regular sized straws.

Diner Review №39

Great food. The Kua Kai noodles were delicious.
