Recently re-opened at 1904 N Western after closing back in 2018. Glad to be back in Bucktown to serve you all again!
Thai-Asian inspired cooking. Snacks, rice bowls, noodles, and plenty of dessert options !
The kitchen closes at 8.45 pm on a weekday and the last done is to exit before 9 pm. We were there at 8.20 pm on a Thursday night. The waitress told us before hand we would have to rush. We were thankful foe the heads up. The food was great
Our order :
Avocado roll - the roll was good., but the ginger and Wasabi were bland.,
Veggie potsticker - about 10 in number ..small size. They were hot and tasted great.
Veggies egg roll &
Veggies fried rice with tofu - a bit mild., but the spice powder on the table greatly helped .
Overall ., very happy with the food. Good quality. Good service. My kiddo loved getting the water from the robot.
They have a cute little robot that brings you water!! my goodness the food was absolutely delicious. Spicy kimchi dumplings are to die for be aware. If you do get the noodles, you will be slurping and you will make a mess of your shirt. Service was super friendly and personable.
This restaurant was very quirky and cute ! I enjoyed the atmosphere and the cute cat robot that brings you your drinks! The food itself was pretty good!
I really recommend the wings and the veggie egg rolls! We also got the beef noodles and the Thai rice! The portions are big here, so if your family is like mine, you will probably have extra leftovers. I will definitely come back here again!
A friend has been looking for the best Khao Soi for over a year. Well, she absolutely loved the Khao Soi here! We also loved the basil beef and BBQ pork buns. The basil chicken was so flavorful and delicious. I also recommend the Gua Chai, shrimp shumai, panang beef, the beef noodle, and the roti Karee curry! The cute robot brought us our water and my brown sugar boba milk tea. They were limited on desserts, but the chocolate roti hit the spot. It's tough to find parking nearby but worth the walk. I will definitely be back to try more menu items.
Dined in on a Monday night, Oct 21 2024.
Pros: big portion, nice service!
Cons: the food. I really wanted to like the pad kee Mao I ordered but it was too watery and salty. There is no wokhei (the smokey flavor that comes with stir frying on high heat). The chicken was not consistent either - some pieces were tender, others were so tough I spat it out. Overall just felt like this I ate a whitewashed microwave dinner of some sorts.
I’ve pretty much only get takeout here but it’s my favorite Thai restaurant in the city. Everything is so delicious and well prepared with generous portions. Their menu has greatly expanded after they combined their menu with Sticky Rice’s after they closed and there are some very welcome and incredible additions. I had the satay fish dinner the other night and it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten from there. My go to’s are the moo yang with sticky rice, larb crispy chicken, and beef noodle soup but the papaya salad and now the fish satay are going to become my new favorites! Highly highly recommend!!

Really good food, good prices, very sweet staff. They have one of those robot food runner things, too, which is pretty cute.
Good prices, robot waiter!! I didn’t love the salmon bowl but the spring rolls were yummy
The food was amazing, great value and we love the robot delivery (so cute!). Everything was delicious, and the staff were so friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back soon.

Variety asian foods
We’ve gotten carry out several times. We live in the neighborhood.
We love the kimchi fries rice, Tom yum soup and honestly everything we’ve tried has been so good.
Other hits - chicken bbq tenders- spicy but so good, baos, ice cream and more!!
Wowwwww the noodles are so good

I LOVEEE Sweet Rice— the Thai food here is amazing!! I always get the sweet chili chicken and their witch frappe. Dining in is my favorite and recommend it as the service and food are always great and the little robot that brings you drinks is adorable.
However, my only advice to the restaurant for take out is please please please change the plastic ware. It changes the taste of the food and gives off like a plastic-y taste :(
Great Food!, Great Service 👍 👌 😁! Nice People, hard to find now a days! I recommend! 👌 👏
They have a cute little robot that brings you water!! my goodness the food was absolutely delicious. Spicy kimchi dumplings are to die for be aware. If you do get the noodles, you will be slurping and you will make a mess of your shirt. Service was super friendly and personable.
Absolutely amazing! I finally found a place that serve char siu wonton noodle just like how we make it in Malaysia... It taste so authentic. My partner ordered spicy tofu rice. We also ordered tom yam soup. I would say that their tom yam soup is good and flavorful but not as authentic as in Thailand. Their menu is so big and I will be back to try other dishes... Their egg noodles are simply superb.
Amazing vegan options, I got the Guichai appetizer and Vegan BBQ pork rice bowl and it was phenomenal! Great Omni place, and there is a little robot who delivers your water which is the cutest thing to experience. Recommend to my fellow vegans!
Always love this place for egg noodles
I’ve been ordering takeout from Sweet Rice for a few years now and it has never disappointed. I’ve tried many things but the Roti Karee Chicken and the Basil Chicken are two things that really stand out and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve ordered those. Would absolutely recommend this place!
So chill and so tasty… what an awesome spot. I had beef pad se ew - cooked perfectly and service with a smile
A friend has been looking for the best Khao Soi for over a year. Well, she absolutely loved the Khao Soi here! We also loved the basil beef and BBQ pork buns.

We stumbled across this place to try Thai shaved ice(Nam Khang Sai), something we'd never had before, and it was absolutely beautiful! It's like Hawaiian-style shaved ice but with more Thai fruits, making it perfect for a hot summer day. If you're looking for a refreshing change from boba teas (though it's hard to tire of those yummy drinks!), give this a try. It's sure to cool you down.Along with the Thai shaved ice, we ordered Pad Kee Mao, which turned out to be one of the best versions we've had in the city so far. They nailed the perfect level of spiciness—we enjoy our Thai food quite spicy, and they delivered wonderfully flavorful heat. We loved it so much that we polished off the entire plate! The portion size was generous with fresh vegetables and meats. We'll definitely be back to try other Thai dishes like Pad Thai, green curry, and red curry.
Great food. I literally rolled a food dice it landed on thai. Thank you food god for sending me here.
Love coming here to eat, and who doesn’t love a cat robot delivering your bubble tea!
Great food but terrible service
I hate to make bad reviews because I’ve been a loyal customer to this place since I’ve moved here, three years ago. For the last couple of weeks I noticed that there’s a new server by the name of “Fon”. In the beginning I really just thought she was having a bad day but then her rude demeanor just became consistent. My husband and I just come here for a quick meal and we’re usually in and out. Every time we sit down she NEVER comes to our table to take our order. I always have to get her attention. When she does finally take our order her whole demeanor says she doesn’t want to be here or take our order. My husband and I no longer felt comfortable coming here as much as we used to so we only come in once in a while now. Today we came in and sat ourselves down as usual. After about 15 minutes she doesn’t come to our table to service us (as we expected). I push the “call for service” button. After several minutes she comes from behind the counter and attends another family that came in after us. We got up and left. I no longer feel welcomed here. I refuse to be anywhere where there is weird animosity and hostility for no reason. The previous servers were always so sweet and very attentive. They knew my husband and I very well. Sadly, this place has lost my business.
Got the Basil chicken as my main dish, a side of peanut sauce because I always gotta check out the peanut sauce. It was a perfect lunch. Had to get Nam Kang Sai for dessert, both tasty and fun to look at. Do check out all the menus before making your choices, (the scan menu doesn't have as many options as the paper ones). Don't forget about all the fun spices and sauces in the utensil cadi. I'll be back for more!
The Korean Spicy Chicken was fantastic!
It’s really spicy but delicious 👍🏽
I’m a regular here for boba and love the new food menu additions!
Amazing food. Kind, professional and attentive staff. Can’t recommend this place enough !!! So delicious , it’s become a regular spot for me.
Able to seat yourself for dine-in — or serve yourself at the to-go kiosk! Excellent dish choices that do take some time to come out, but that’s to give you fresh and piping hot food! Big portions so be prepared to share or build up an appetite.
Finally tried Pad See Ew which I was recommended to try since I love Pad Thai — I was amazed! Also Sala Pao Buns 🫶
Definitely a gem hidden in the rough!
Really good food and service. If you're missing the buns place that used to be in the Western blue line station this hits the spot!
Got take outs from here regularly. It’s delicious!
This restaurant was very quirky and cute ! I enjoyed the atmosphere and the cute cat robot that brings you your drinks! The food itself was pretty good!
I really recommend the wings and the veggie egg rolls! We also got the beef noodles and the Thai rice! The portions are big here, so if your family is like mine, you will probably have extra leftovers. I will definitely come back here again!
They have a decent vegan menu! The options available are pretty good if I want a quick Asian-inspired dish.
amazing food and amazing service one of my favorite meals in the city
Amazing place, amazing food, accommodated my wife's dietary needs and was very kind when the online menu didn't communicate spice as well as the physical menu and replaced her meal. The owner was very kind and understanding. I definitely will be back with friends.
Consistently very good!
Update: I have eaten there, ordered online and recommended this place to many people. Today, the place was re-branded with signage advertising a grand re-opening of Sweet Rice Express. After sitting down I was handed a smaller menu with many of the same items, but much less of the offerings I go there for. Some prices increased. The plates, glasses and silverware were replaced with paper plates, plasticware and plastic cups. The food (l was forced to order something different due the menu change) was ok but lacked the taste, presentation and variety I had grown used to. It's gone from being a must go-to place to simply restaurant next to the overpriced gas station. (I can no longer recommend it).
Excellent food and service. The sautéed chicken and teas were fantastic.
Overall Thoughts: Located right off the Western Blue Line stop, Sweet Rice is a casual Thai restaurant with ample indoor and outdoor seating, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. I especially enjoyed the Basil Duck Rice entree and Sweet Rice Durian dessert. The menu is quite expansive though, and I’d be happy to come back to try more dishes!
Food I tried:
- Chicken Satay: A solid appetizer! Peanut sauce was creamy, and the chicken was tender and flavorful.
- Gui Chai: These made good appetizers too with a well-fried, crispy exterior and soft interior.
- Basil Duck Rice: This was super delicious; I’d definitely get it again. It was sautéed perfectly with deep pockets of flavor— the duck is tender and juicy, the fried egg is crispy, the rice is soft and flavorful.
- Vegan Duck Noodle: This was my least favorite dish out of everything we ordered. The noodles weren’t very flavorful, and the vegan duck was a let down— It’s made differently than the ones typical of NYC Thai restaurants, so it just didn’t hit as much.
- Sweet Rice Durian: As a durian fanatic, I loved this dessert— it’s a unique one that you won’t find on most other Thai menus in Chicago (other than at Sticky Rice, which is owned by the same family). It was quite soupy, and the combination of the warm coconut sauce, the creamy durian, and the sticky rice that instantly soaked up all the coconut and durian flavors was just perfect.
Split between 3 people, the price was ~$25/pp including tax/tip, which was good for the amount of food we got.

Online application does not work. Hard to order food from them. Would recommend fixing the app to collect orders and honor coupons because the food is delicious.
Great spot
Beef curry was gross. The sauce was really good but the cuts of beef were gross and gamy. Tables sticky. I think I would be open to trying them again but takeout and probably something vegetarian.
High Quality food for sure!
Stopped by on a rainy day for lunch and had the beef noodle soup. It was absolutely phenomenal! I'm not a soup drinker by any means but that broth was absolutely delicious and i was slurping it up. Portion is very nice as well! Got to take some leftovers home. Highly recommend checking this place out! Will definitely be coming back to try more items!
The chicken wings were good but oddly enormous lol. The vegetarian egg/spring rolls were ok, the dipping sauce paired with it was amazing though!
Love it!
Personal favorites are the moo ping, Basil duck, and bamee pork noodles (both dry and wet).
Boba tea is great too!
Robot server to deliver food and drinks? Check.
Listen, this is a great place, and the boba shop inside is reasonably good too.
I always get the braised pork dish which is just about perfect.
Very good service -- thank you!
I was looking for a place that had a fast service and a delicious variety of Asian food, and I found it!
I had the Korean bulgogi, and my partner had a delicious bowl of noodles with beef. The service was great, and the food was incredibly tasty. The size of the portions is great as well.
I'd also recommend sitting on their patio if you have a chance! Such a wonderful bliss...
What a lovely place to have a delicious meal. If you happen to dine in here, leave a nice tip for the staff, they are AWESOME!
Enjoyed the basil chicken and brown sugar boba. Cute Asian fusion restaurant with great service
I’ve known one of the owners since they had an amazing little stand alone shop located within the Western Blue Line focusing on bao buns & other staple, classic Thai rice/noodle dishes. I continue to come back and support not only because their food is scrumptious and made with care & love, but because the immaculate vibes, customer service, & genuine sincerity are second to none. THE Sweetest people. Highest recommendation for Sweet Rice!
This place was a random find with a unique setup (kind of food court style but Can order all from one QR code) but I was BLOWN away by how good their vegan options were. The steamed bun filled with veggies and mushrooms was perfectly flavored and the vegan bbq pork noodles was a huge portion where they didn’t skimp on the protein. No clue how they made it so realistic tasting but I really enjoyed. Definitely gonna come back to try their other items !
Always friendly staff. Wide selection of quality food and drinks that is prepared fresh and fast. My go to for lunch!
Bad customer service. You get yelled at by one of the women behind the counter when you let them know your order was wrong and they're argumentative and adamant they did your order right. Its not even a big deal and yet they act like you're trying to rob them of .75 cents.
Service was very good, place is nice and I love the virtual waiter they have. I ordered the Karee curry chicken and taste was very good but I got a piece of fat chicken 😓, my boyfriend ordered the dried Bamee Bqq Pork and it tasted a lot like fish, since he is allergic to fish and the menu didn’t mentioned having any of it, we asked them to please change it and they kindly assisted us changing it to the same plate without fish but they brought it back with same taste 🥴, and his brother ordered the Korean spicy chicken which was actually pretty good. I would recommend to be more detailed on your menu regarding ingredients and more attention to your kitchen.
Hands down recommend the Tom yum soup and kimchi fried rice. Very good.
Yes, yes, and yesss. 🍜🧋 one of my new favorite chill spots. The best service and even has a cute lil robot to help deliver drinks and such to the table when busy. Excellent qualities, quantities, prices, and then some. Thank you!!
Update: so I've eaten here two more times and had problems with the food. I asked if they could make me a gluten free meal. The waitress said the larb chicken was GF. I enjoyed the food, it was tasty, it was a generous portion but later I got diarrhea. Not good. If you are looking for gluten free food my advice is look elsewhere.
I've been here twice only, so I don't have a wide perspective on the food. Also, I opted for take out. Lastly I write all my reviews as if I were speaking to a friend who also has Celiac disease.
That said:
The first time I ate there I tried the Larb. They asked me if I wanted it spicy, I said yes but then some other customer warned me that they make it REALLY spicy. After that she said she would put the spice on the side.
I liked it but honestly I won't back down about the spice level next time because it wasn't spicy at all. Even adding the powdered spice she gave me wasn't really that intense.
With this in mind I ordered my next dish spice. It was the Panang curry with beef. It was also not very spicy even when I added all of the sambal.
As far as food safety, I was perfectly happy. They told me it was gluten free and it was.
I'm definitely going back to continue sampling the gluten free options on the menu. I'm thinking that with the cooler weather coming the Tom Yum soup is my next order.
Check it out for a slightly different take on Thai street food. It's reasonably priced, they have a little outdoor patio, and an interesting menu.
Kimchi fried rice went offff.
First time here, didn't know what to expect. Ordered thinking there's soo much we want to try and we could order more later. Boy oh boy we're stuffed...
Flavor, Value, and Quality will have us coming back again and again. If you think to spend ~$20 then you're sure to have plenty of leftovers.
Also, order a drink for sure and be greeted with the cutest server ever!
Good traditional Thai food. Recommend !!!!
Sweet Rice is just the sweetest! I am so happy we decided to dine in today. We’ve had delicious drinks from the Witch Cafe (the cafe inside Sweet Rice) but had never eaten in before! Man! We will be dining in much more now… Everything was so delicious and flavorful and beautifully presented. I can’t remember the last time food has been so euphoric! We decided to sample a bunch of their shareable items and not a single one disappointed although the Takoyaki and the Mussel Fritters really stole the show. We finished our meal off with the Roti Thai Crepes and it was the perfect finale. Can’t wait to eat here again!
liked it.
This place has amazing food and great service! I recommend the Korean spicy chicken. 😊
Kinda like a small diner. The soups and menu have a different flare and I enjoy that. You have to know what you like because they have many options not seen mixed before. I enjoy that part. No alcoholic drinks served.

Everything is great.
I love it.
yummy and cheap and I’m totally obsessed with their kimchi… what more could you ask for?
The food was good and the staff was very friendly. Service was a little slow for how quiet it seemed to be.
Bulgogi bowls are delicious! The counter where you order is really cool. It makes it feel like you are ordering street food.
I am a great fan of Asian foods, and I have been hearing a lot about Sweet Rice Chicago from my friends, so I decided to come here and see if I could get the same satisfaction that they had here. So, I ordered the Tom Yum Shrimp Soup, which was filled with vegetables and shrimp. The shrimp was tender, and the vegetables are fresh and go well with the shrimp. It also has a large amount of serving, and it was so fulfilling. The dumpling is so tender that it melts in my mouth. The flavors were on point, and the food was well-seasoned. I wanted to try their Thai Shrimp Omelet, but I got full with my first dish. I guess I will be coming back here more often. I am so glad my friends recommended this restaurant.
This place is just as good as it’s predecessor in the train station. The bowls are delicious and flavorful, the desserts are rich, and the new cafe drinks are fantastic and fun. My go to is the buns, basil beef being my favorite but you really can’t go wrong. The only thing that could make this place better is if they brought back the custard bun they used to make at the old location. Those buns cured my depression and tasted like divinity wrapped in a cloud.
SWEET RICE WAS DELICIOUS 😋. I had the Basil Chicken with a MEDIUM spice level! Everything from the appetizers to the main course was phenomenal. I was pretty shocked that the dessert was also delicious. I can't recall the name but it had green onion, corn, and coconut on top! They were delicious 😋
They serve my absolute favorite dish. Mussel fritters!((hoy tod)It's hard to find any restaurants that make it. Didn't try the usual Thai fare ,but I'm sure they're delicious . I ordered the bamee with barbecue pork. They give alot of meat.🥰🥰🥰อร่อยมากค่ะ แล้วจะกลับมาอีกค่ะ
Friend and I came here expecting a quick bite but offered so much more! Food was fresh, hot, and outstanding!
We had the Panang Curry, Shrimp Shumai and Thai Milk Tea:
VERY GOOD!
A simple but nice eatery with most pleasant service -clean as a whistle, Thai-style.
Definitely a restaurant that makes you want to continue visiting it! It's truly Asian-great.
I haven't tried the food yet but this is by far my favorite boba place in the city. Much fresher and less expensive than other places
We love Sweet Rice!their food is consistenl6 delicious and portions are generous. They have vegan options so you are sure to find some dish you will enjoy.
Best Thai food in the city!
Love the food it’s so good 😊
The khao Soi and bulgogi are fantastic. A must eat!
So, so good. Everything we had was excellent. Will most definitely be back.
Basil chicken and beef noodle were good but wow the kerry curry was not good. The rice was too sticky and the curry sauce was too sweet. I asked for medium spice but the sweetness was too overwhelming. Really disappointing experience today. And plus, the people in the kitchen kept staring at me for some reason. I know I'm good looking (jokes) but they really shouldn't constantly stare at a person like that
I love this spot. the food is great, the vibes are great, the people working there are nice. the menu has so many goodies. I can’t wait to try everything
Basil chicken is really great! Best Thai food I've had in a long time.
A really good mix of carnivore and vegan meals! Something for everyone! I really enjoyed my vegan BBQ! The flavors were sooo delicious and the plate was huge!! The fake duck was also so tender. My date enjoyed the beef curry. He said it was some of the best in the city!
Great authentic Thai food.
Beware, the broth soup was stinky and pink from the bacteria. The grilled pork salad didn't taste fresh either. I wish I could give positive review.
The pork belly is perfect. It’s so easy to mess up pork belly. I had some from another restaurant this week that was tough and stringy. Not this! The Taiwanese pork belly was soft and melts and perfectly cooked! I would eat this again and again. The restaurant called us to see if my note about ‘no cilantro’ was an allergy or a preference, another bonus point in their favor. We also got crispy egg rolls, thin and perfectly crunchy with a great spicy sweet sauce. Husband got wonton soup with great dumplings and a flavorful broth. Will def order again!!
Fantastic food and friendly service!
Tried this restaurant for the first time, and I will never be back. Ordered spicy curry and it was sweet, also got the grilled squid, it was flavorless and tasted like hard rubber. Not worth the money I spent, ended up throwing it away, and ordered pizza.
Very friendly staff and BOMB noodz!
Get the beef noodles, you won't be disappointed 🍜🏅
Phenomenal Thai food! Definitely check them out, and you'll quickly find nothing is bad. Great staff, and decent prices. On average 11-14 for a rice bowl. You can't go wrong!
Amazingling delicious recipes!
Their Beef Noodle was great. The noodles were perfectly cooked and not too soft. The flavor was so intense. It has a topping of a veggie leaf and some chicharon. Chicaron is a fried pig skin. It was tasty and a little bit salty. It was crunchy to eat and perfect for the noodles.
Their Basil Chicken is the best. It has chicken, shrimp, carrots, veggies and they also have rice. It was incredibly amazing. I can't get enough of it. You can eat this dish if you come here. I'm sure you will never be disappointed about their food on their menu.
They also had a good place and a great service. They will greet you with a smile. I highly recommend this restaurant. Come and try this place.
There are a lot of great restaurants in this neighborhood but this is probably my favorite. It's the one I find myself coming back to despite having so many left to try. The service is always good, the food is better and the prices are reasonable, maybe even a tiny bit cheaper than other similar restaurants.
Great place to go if you have a mixed group of vegan/vegetarians and meat eaters because there are some great options for all so no one feels like they're compromising or missing out. I don't have any restrictions but I've tried some of the vegan versions when I've gone with my partner, and I think in particular the vegan duck soup (they switch the noodles to make the dish vegan) is great. I don't think vegans will miss the taste of duck with that dish, it's pretty spot on and even the texture is good. But there are of course other options and they're clearly labeled which is also super helpful.
It's just off the Western stop so a good place to eat right before or after taking the train.
This place is in Bucktown just beside Western station. The staff are super friendly and the food is great! Our favorite is the Khao Soi chicken, but I’ve also tried to Tom Yum, vegan duck, and curry. It’s good to dine in or to grab takeout, maybe to go to the Green Eye pub just down the street.
This restaurant used to be located off of the 606 near the western exit where that new high rise apartment complex is now built. It was my favorite restaurant in the area. I was filled with absolute joy when I walked by the new location one day to find they were reopening. It’s not what most Thai restaurants have to offer, it’s Thai street food and it’s incredible. Kao Ne Ped, Moo Yang, Beef Noodle Soup, and their sweet milk and banana roti is amazing. However, you can’t go wrong.
Delicious, cheap authentic Thai food!
Very impressed with this Thai Street Food takeout and dine in restaurant. The server was SO accommodating for our 2 year old on whether a high chair or booster would be better. They had a kid-friendly plastic divided plate for him and the regular dishware and chopsticks for adults.
Also impressed with the menu! We enjoyed everything we ordered including the Tom Kha soup with medium spice, the fried oysters, vegetarian “pork” sweet buns, kimchi rice bowl, and coconut cakes dessert. Will definitely be going back again and can’t wait to try the crepes and Thai ice cream.
Ordered their take out for the first time and was blown away- the sweet chili chicken and karee curry chicken were delicious! Can’t wait to try more of the menu.
Excellent Thai food that is BYOB.
Amazing authentic Thai food! We just returned from Thailand and this food tastes like we brought it home on the plane! Highly recommend the sweet chili chicken!
Ordered takeout from here and it was amazing, highly reccomend!
Best khao soi I've had since being in Thailand. Can't wait to order again and try more. The beef noodle soup was also incredible!
Did take out and had - Beef Bulgogi and - Basil Chicken subed out chicken for shrimp. Both delicious, generous portions and fair price.
Nice helpful staff too, I'll be back in hopes it stays the same. So far my new favorite Asian place.
Check it out pretty tasty food.
Very nice meal, mussel fritters, khao soy chicken and a strawberry smoothie.
So great! I got the chive pancakes, roti and Kao Moo Dang to go. Service was really speedy and the food tasted amazing. So nice to have a local spot that also hits the spot!
Wonderful Thai restaurant with dishes that aren’t very common in other local places. The chive cakes were deliciously crispy and came with a sweet spicy dipping sauce. Also had the Moo Yang, perfectly seasoned pork with pillowy sticky rice. For entrees my fav was the Taiwanese pork, a sweet salty dish of noodles and pork belly. Highly recommended. Also they have a serene patio for outdoor dining.
I had the Soy BBQ and my partner had the beef bulgogi, and I'm so excited that they are both excellent (even as take-outb surviving the journey home)! I'm legit excited because this place is between me and the blue line, so I get to have it a lot, and I will be!
Oh, and I had the sweet rice durian for dessert! *chef's kiss*
We stopped in to enjoy the patio on a fun summer night and Sweet Rice delivered! The food was amazing! The staff was cordial and knowledgeable and curtesy. We walked out with full bellies and smiles on our faces. Highly recommend the Beef the Noodles (dry). The grilled calamari was perfectly cooked and the dipping sauce was spicy and flavorful. Looking forward to our next visit.
So glad they are back! Best Kao soi, awesome panang curry and they are flexible with modifications (tofu). Note that their medium spicy is a REAL medium spicy.
When the new location opened up off Western I was curious to give this place a try. I ordered the Kao Moo Dang & the Basil Chicken. I wasn’t too crazy about both the dishes..So I started looking through reviews and gave this place another try. Ya’ll. Second times a charm. I ordered the Chive cakes and the mussel cakes along with the Crispy Chicken Larb and the Ka Nom Krak for dessert. The flavors are SO good. I usually do take out but Ive had no problems with the textures. I’m sure the dine in experience is better. Basically, see what everyone else is ordering, they ain’t wrong. 😂
Amazing
If you have a brain in your head, you will check this place out. The environment is great, the staff is fantastic! Wonderful drinks, noodles and rice entrees. I was tired of having to go all the way to JJ Thai for good Thai food. Logan Square has its Thai swagger back. Eat up and don’t forget dessert!
