We showed up the day after Thanksgiving having never experienced Thai food before. We ordered three appetizers and 6 entrees and two soups for our table of 5. We wanted to try different dishes. EVERY SINGLE ITEM WAS AMAZING. the flavor and different levels of spicy, sweet, salty were perfectly balanced. The spring rolls were so good. My favorite was the coconut soup and the tiger eye steak. We will definitely be back. Our server was very patient and gave suggestions, she asked questions on the types of food we like to help us choose the best experience. This little place looks like it’s tucked away, but very inviting and comfortable… and VERY CLEAN. we will be back, for sure!
First time dining at this lovely restaurant. It's quaint, the staff are wonderful and very friendly, helpful and efficient. Food was delicious. From the Steamed Pork Dumplings to the Steamed Chicken Gyoza, to the Pork Pad Thai and Chicken Basil. Full of flavor and very authentic.
Well worth finding this little restaurant. Near Walmarts on a side street.
We've eaten there food and keep finding it below quality with too much of various ingredients of poorer quality. The oils, grease, salts are not right and will deliver poor health to their consumers. Just like pretty much all of the restaurants unfortunately. Lower quality food poorly prepared is standard.
The curry was not real curry sauce. The potatoes where canned. Wow. Very disappointed

SO VERY NICE AND CLEAN,BUT COOK RUDEST PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN IN FOOD SERVICE, PROBABLY WHY, LOOKS LIKE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. CANNOT TREAT CUSTOMER LIKE GARBARGE BECAUSE YOU SERVED COLD NOODLES AND SHE JUST ASKED YOU TO WARM THEM UP. Steamed veggies ICE COLD?? Never will go back.
Had the beef noodles soup (pho) it's not really your traditional pho but its really good. This is my 1st time I here and it won't be my last.
Food is very tasty
Perfect hosts everytime and the food is exceptional!

Really good food and excellent service.
There is nothing authentic to the food! If you are insulin resistant or diabetic don't even think about eating here! Pure sugar in everything! My lips are stuck together!
My beef panang curry was superb. The Thai tea was not too sweet. Amazing food and clean restaurant.
Excellent food and excellent service. Can't fault this place.
Delicious and fresh
Food was delicious. The front counter was very sweet.
I love thai food so much and this has the best tom Kah ever.
Wife dragged me here, from now on I'll be dragging her.
Food is well portioned, reasonable prices, staff is super friendly. Can't recommend it highly enough.

It's a hidden gem and the food was wonderful. Don't let the surroundings fool you.
Period it is hidden tucked over by Walmart office 200. It is well worth finding. I absolutely love Thai food. Absolutely hands down. My favorite. I kept saying I was gonna try this restaurant and have been by there. Probably a dozen times in the last year or so I have to tell you it is really. I can't even say it enough. So good spice, just right? Hard to say anything else when it's perfect
First time. The food was delicious and good portions. We did take out, but the atmosphere looks very nice and plan to dine in next time.
Phenomenal. I had the steak with Thai hot sauce. You won't be disappointed. Those who love tea. This is the best I have had in Florida
I am in absolute awe of the HORRIBLE customer service at this place. My family and I have spent so much money here on takeout and have always supported this small business but after tonight I will never return. I ordered pad thai with MEDIUM spice level and when I got home to eat it it tasted like absolute FIRE. Like I was eating a dragon's breath pepper. I called them just to give them feedback so they'd be aware of it and the woman on the phone told me to come back for a replacement. I get there and they straight up tried to charge me for another pad thai entree!!!! I was speechless. Then they had the audacity to ask me if I brought the food back so they could see if anything was actually wrong with it. After multiple rounds of discussions and them doubting my honesty, I walked out. $30 and so much time wasted. NEVER AGAIN!
Friendly and welcoming, great service and delicious food - definitely worth trying if you’re in the area!
I have been here twice before and the food is very fresh. Offers very spicy food if you desire, however, you can order mild, or medium spiciness as well.bvery friendly staff.
Food is amazing& staff are so kind!
Stopped in for dinner - cute little place. I love green curry and asked for it to be made special for me. No problem and it was delicious! Hidden gem!
PHO review ONLY.
Having had Pho hundreds of times around North America, I was saddened to learn upon tasting they do not make Pho it the Vietnamese style. Vietnamese style is by the way the style that boasts, when done correctly, incredible flavor that people search long and hard for and debate over who has the best etc.
The server said they do their PHO in the THAI style, which I can assure you no one in the world is really searching for that. But that's what they do here and I drove some distance to eat so I'll review their Pho.
First, the broth is generic in opinion. It had a familiar almost bouillon or msg flavor to it like it started out as plain water and they added concentrate to it. I can't see how any bones were boiled to make this. I saw no fat in the broth either. So on that basis alone I wasn't impressed at all. Kinda offended to be frank.
The rest of the soup was good. The meat was plentiful and tender, the noodles were not mushy.
The bowl amount was below average in size compared to the market average.
So... I'll give the place 4 stars because I'm sure they do other things great, but do not come here for PHO if you expect Vietnamese Pho.
Amazing food, amazing service, very clean, and the nicest owner ever!
Quiet and peaceful eating place.
Excellent food and atmosphere
Had a great meal! The flavors were amazing, and everything tasted like it was fresh from the farm.
The food is always so good and service very friendly. It’s one of our family’s favorite spots!
Great.... authentic food, good service,lovely setting. Give them your support ...you will be glad you did! Enjoy!
Delicious!!!
The staff is amazingly attentive and the food is always perfect. Flavor, temperature, and presentation. I believe the chef is magic.😉 Never a disappointment. You always feel like your there for a family dinner. Everyone should check this place out it will be your new favorite place to be.
This meal was exactly what I was craving = Red Coconut Chicken Curry! The portion was the perfect amount for lunch, the flavor was great, and the temp of the spice (mild) was spot on not too overwhelmingly hot. I was hangry when I showed up, and quite satisfied when I left. :>)
Service - the waitress was very kind and pleasant. If I lived in the Ocala area, this place would be a regular stop for me both, for lunch AND dinner.
Must try.... Def will be back... I had the drunken spaghetti noodles... delicious. Great attentive service ...
Food and service were excellent! Exceeded expectations
The service is great. The food is average. Overall, a good place to have a quick meal.
I ordered four different dishes and they were all as tasty as the last.
Really nice little place with very friendly staff and great food. Thank you.
Friendly staff, delicious food, clean environment, fast service.
Perfect heat at medium
Still my favorite Thai.
Had the hot spice level and had the sweats🥵😋
Chicken was dry . Had chicken pai tai
nice place to have lunch, clean and very good service.
The pho was excellent! Love all the sides that come with it also, cilantro, bean sprouts, jalapenos. Really good! And the Tom kha soup was brilliant!
I’m very picky on my Thai, especially curries, and green curry was yummy! I wish this place was in my home town. Beautiful paintings and very clean, food was fresh and flavorful and staff was so sweet and friendly and offering service at every turn. Pad se ew could have used carrots but otherwise also very good. Def recommend
Portions are on the small side. Food is good but can become pricey.
I love Thai food and I usually get the Pad Thar was an acid test. not bae, better than some not as good as others - not much peanuts, egg on top instead of mixed in, and noodles a bit gummy but did nave good flavor
Rude and dismissive staff, upcharged without notice, carelessly packaged missing utensils. Brought back order, asked for refund, woman who took my order began arguing unpacking bag to add napkins to hand back to me after I was clear 2x I was unhappy about setvice and just wanted my refund. Never again will I go there.
Its a cute hidden gem. They have pho in the menu which isn’t thai and it was okay, definitely not traditional but I’ve been looking for a good beef soup and I would come back for it. I will be back to try other dishes they seem very clean and friendly
Really good food excellent customer service
Goof food and service
Not thai not even Asian. Sesame chicken sauce was catsup. No veges on pad Thai shrimp. Shrimp was like frozen and just a plate of noodles. The crab Rangoon tasted like egg salad and was yellowish. Expensive and worst Asian food we ever had
Staff very helpful and knowledgeable about their food, which was very tasteful and well prepared with excellence.
Delightful!!
Excellent!!!
This Thai restaurant is highly recommendable.
The food is prepared to order and everything is made from scratch.
The currys and noodle dishes are delicious and the sticky rice made with coconut milk and fresh mango is heavenly.
This quiet place made the best Tofu Panang Curry I've had in a long time. Their egg rolls were also delicious. My wife had the garlic and black pepper Tofu and we were both thrilled to find a new Thai option when our regular place was closed.
Fantastic authentic Thai food. I can’t believe it’s so close, here in Ocala. I highly recommend Tom Kha soup, yakitori, and the curries.
After more than a year of visiting this restaurant all I can say is there must be a new chef. The Tom Kha soup is even better but nothing else.
bland and overpriced
Very nice people. Food not very good at all. The fried rice was white rice with an egg on top! The crab Rangoon was the worst we've ever had.
Tried this place today on a whim with my friend. The Thai springrolls, crab Rangoon, and drunken spaghetti with shrimp was AMAZING! Everything tasted fresh and cooked beautifully. Service was great, too.
Quaint little place to have a bite with a friend and good conversation. Pleasant staff. Food delicious.
The food here is an absolute must try. I'm an avid fan of spicy foods, and their hottest items, when ordered Thai-hot, is perfect! It's not the type of heat you'd get from peppers where it hits you instantly, it's a subtle build up.
Not to mention the service! The staff are incredibly friendly, and when ordering takeout, they still offer water while you wait, which is something I've never seen before, but I 100% approve of. If you ever want to try Authentic Thai cuisine, I would recommend no other place but this one. The only downside is the small parking lot, haha!
Edit: everything above still applies, but man. I only come here once every 3-4 months but some of the staff still remember me! I worked retail once, and I could hardly perform such a feat. Trust me when I say this place is great 👍
I’ve worked in this area for a long time and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. I’ll be returning soon.
Great choices, meals well prepared, excellent service
Nice little Thai place with good food and service. Took my wife there for mother's Day and she loved the Drunken Noodles with beef. The kids had sesame chicken which they are everything. I had the hot chicken green curry wit was great
This is some of the BEST Thai food I have EVER had! It is clean, staff is very nice!!! I am so happy we found it being so close to our home. The only thing is it is 1 street behind 200 behind Chili’s so it is hard to see. THIS PLACE I AMAZING!!
Food is outstanding. Last time I ordered the beef soup with rice noodles, orange chicken, and pad Thai . This time ordered beef basil with extra veggies.
Every meal was incredible service was amazing and fast. Highly recommend for a great meal with very nice staff
If you're looking for good Thai food in Ocala this is the place! I had the Pad See Ew and Chicken Satay and both were delicious. Will definitely be coming back!
Hidden gem right off 200. Food was delicious and staff was incredibly attentive. Had the springs rolls and gyozas which were both great(would prob do steamed on gyozas next time) followed by beef basil and sesame chicken. Every dish we saw them bring out looked great and the flavor definitely matched the presentation. Will be back next time we’re on this side of town!
Great food at a reasonable price. Be careful of Thai hot. It's hot!
Stopped in for mom. She enjoyed talking with the waitress on her travels through Thailand.
Very authentic Thai food expertly prepared and large portions. Highly recommend it.
Very good. We all enjoyed the food and the staff was helpful
Dumplings were super yummy! Had the beef Pad Thai and it was excellent. Wouldn't go for higher than medium hot, unless you really can handle spicy. Also, the ramen was surprisingly good. Over all I really enjoyed all three dishes and will come back again. Only thing I disliked was the to go containers: styrofoam, so bad for the environment.
If you are looking for great Thai Food, look no more. We had 10 people at our table. Everyone loved it.
Went here on a whim because we saw the sign driving to get to Walmart. FANTASTIC food, we had the chicken satay, drunken noodles, and Pho. Everything was absolutely delicious. Not a traditional pho but was a good beef soup. Beautifully decorated and clean, great staff and great prices.
Nice place to eat. Cozy, The food is pretty good too.
We ordered green and red curry. It was tasty. The staff are super nice. We loved the place
Hidden gem next to the Walmart, behind the other businesses. Service is excellent, food portions are good, and if you want Thai Hot, they are not afraid to serve it like that. We had the Pho Beef Noodle Soup, Tom Yum Shrimp Soup, Gyoza, and Shrimp Pad Tai.
Our first time at Rice and Noodles. We were greeted with a smile. Food was fresh and delicious. Not like other Thai restaurants here. The sauces were freshly made and not out of a can. Prices were on point for the area. We will return back. 👍🏼
It was better then ok but not as good as others, Food was just ok and service was quick and friendly but menu is very limited.
I have eaten there a few times. Food is always great.
Best Thai food in town
Food is delicious and the best Thai food in the area! All the staff are friendly and attentive. Plating and dishes are beautiful. A very nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Great food and service. The menu is limited.
Clean, fresh, delicious, fast.
Great food, they put lots of love into each dish. You can tell. Family owned and really good service. The Tom kha Gai soup, is out of this world.
I have never given a review for a restaurant before, but felt compelled to share. The food was outstanding and the service was equally impressive.
The prices were way too high for a Thai restaurant. Would not go back
Our 1st time here and we loved it! The food, the service, the atmosphere, EVERYTHING was perfect. I highly recommend them.
Just left place . Great ambiance fresh healthy food. No thai donuts thou.Salad great mango salad sauce.
Best Thai in the area. Hidden gem!
I had the Sesame Chicken and my husband had the Garlic black pepper chicken and egg rolls it was very good we will be back.
Good food and service Limited menu. Would definitely go back again!
The drunken noodle and red curry chicken were AWESOME!!! This is a very unassuming looking, somewhat hidden place. We got it as take-out and the man that took our order was super nice. 5star all the way! Would go back!
Thank you Thai Cuisine, we finally have an excellent restaurant that serves the best Asian food in and around Ocala. If you try Thai Cuisine it will become your favorite place to dine.
Hidden gem!
Yummy!!
The experience was incredible, presentation was stellar. The food was superb, delicious, flavorful, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant and will recommend to all who seeks a delicious experience. Thank you, my family, Loved it. 🙏🏽❤️👌
Came for the ramen new to the area the tonkotsu pork was serve hot hot as it should be had the hot black tea can’t wait to come again and try something else out prices are affordable I only wish going to a Thai restaurant that it felt more like Thailand decor is very old timer American and so is the music and I get it given the area lol waitress very friendly I think she was surprised that I asked for chop sticks she then offered me spicy on the side which I welcomed greatly… safe to say I tore it up, I will return!
My husband and I had lunch here with our 14 month old. The staff were phenomenal with my little boy, playing with him and being so friendly. The food was absolutely delicious! We are not from the area but while we stay here for our vacation we will definitely be back again! We don't eat meat, dairy and eggs and this place catered to us very well. Thank you for a lovely lunch!
Wonderful experience. The restaurant is spotless, the staff are wonderful, and the food is fabulous. The only warning I would give is if you add libations, it can be a little pricey, but well worth it! We love it to go, too!
Food and service is excellent!
Best Thai food I ever had. Best in Marion County by far. Exceptional service and food. Very reasonable prices. The hot & sour soup and Drunken noodles are sooooo good.
Excellent food and service. Best in town
Good quality food, prepared well and ready on time!
You can see the love put into every detail. The gyoza was top notch! You can tell the ingredients were picked with care when you can see and taste the fresh crisp of the vegetables. All this, and the prices are great. Will come again!
The service was phenomenal, the flavors were great. Portions a bit small. Would like more food per serving, especially in appetizers. We will be back for sure though.
Service, food quality, and portions were amazing. I highly recommend their dumplings and spring rolls
Incredible! Little hard to find, this is something really special I'm
The food here is delicious, the service is excellent, and when we come here we feel like family.
Best Pad Thai I have had in a long time!!! Great service! Beautiful restaurant!!I will eat here again.
Absolutely flipping amazing! First time there yesterday, placed an order for pick-up. I ordered online and was able to watch it be prepped then when it was ready. Walked in, gave my name and order was up front waiting. Super friendly customer service even opened the door for me when I left.
The food.. I inhaled it. The flavors were on point. It reminded me of Thai food when I lived in Denver. The Thai basil was perfect in the drunken noodles. I also had the pad see ew, chicken for both dinner choices. Even the Thai tea was delish! It wasn't overly sweet you could taste the herbs and spices in the tea. Everything about my pickup order and food was phenomenal. I will be dining in soon!
Lisa, if you read this. Date night soon!
This restaurant has been opened for 9 months. The dinner portions are decent, not overwhelming. I ordered the sesame chicken. Nice presentation! Enjoyed the Gyoza 🥟 highly fresh and hot off the heat. If you like fresh soup, definitely order Chicken Tom Yum. They’ve earned their rating. Kudos to the chef 👨🍳
Setting is very pleasant and the ladies restroom very clean. Much welcoming! We will be back.
Excellent service, delicious food!
The staff is attentive without being intrusive. The food is on par with expectations, the ambiance, light and airy and the place feels clean overall. If your in the area or passing through and haven't tried this Thai restaurant it won't disappoint.
Nice and clean restaurant. Friendly staff and great tasting food. Delicious Thai, try it...I think you'll really like it!
Amazing ppl, amazing food they have continued to impress me from day 1 every meal can be accommodated to your heart desires...please keep up the great work ..this is truly the hidden gem in ocala
My first time trying this place was Amazing!!! Food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very polite and sweet. The restrooms was clean and the place was decorated so nice. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place if you love Thai food.
The food and the service and the atmosphere were wonderful. The food was very delicious.
So my regular go to Thai place is closed for June vacation and I happened to stumble upon this gem! Fresh, flavorful and authentic. If you're reading this and have not tried yet, just go - you will be happy!
Good food service is very good also. The pho is authentic
