Diner Review β„–6

Simply the best and freshest Thai food you can find in Massachusetts! We have been eating from this restaurant for more then eight years and I have not found better Thai food anywhere else. Being on a low sodium diet it is hard to find a restaurant that will cook food not drenched in salt. Dishes are cooked to order and requests are always granted. This is a family owned business and they are just fantastic people. This is a take-out restaurant although they offer great luncheon specials at a very fair price if you happen by during lunchtime. Highly recommend!

I am taking 3 stars off because I ordered a vegetarian dish from their vegetarian menu section Tofu Royal, but it contains fish- and oyster sauces. This is very misleading. I would caution all vegetarians to be aware.

When I called to place the order I explicitly asked if there was any fish sauce or oyster sauce and I was told that there won't be any. When I brought the dish home it was awful. Chunks of fried tofu and large- cut steamed veggies with absolutely no flavor, not even salt. I called the restaurant and the very polite lady told me that since I didn't want the fish and oyster sauces then there's no way to create flavor. When I told her that this is supposed to be a vegetarian dish she basically repeated the same thing.

However, whenever I've ordered the chicken satay for my non vegetarian friends they've always raved about it. This is why I've given the two stars.

Vegetarians, watch out.

been coming here consistently for a couple years and the quality has always been amazing! the staff are super nice and i have yet to get something i didnt love :) chicken basil and chicken satay do go crazy tho i love it

Diner Review β„–9

Food is always hot and made quickly, kind employees, amazing edamame, all-around great restaurant.

Diner Review β„–10

This place has the best Thai food. Somehow, they made their delicious crazy noodles and pad Thai without msg and it isn't as oily as other restaurants. Very flavorful. Will come again

Diner Review β„–11

Haven't stopped coming here for some quick and delicious pad Thai. The pad Thai and basil fried rice or that's what I remember it being called are definitely some of my favorites for this place and I'll probably keep on coming here for it!

Diner Review β„–12

Only get takeout but the place is small so dine in options are limited

Diner Review β„–13

Thai takeaway. Good trusty Thai dishes.

Diner Review β„–14

Food is not what it used to be. No flavor, different ingredients. Not worth it anymore. Chicken f om pad Thai smelled like the ocean l.

Diner Review β„–15

I loved the place years ago when they opened, but it seem to have gotten less Thai-like over time. Last time i was there, the pad thai was so sweet I couldn't even choke it down

Diner Review β„–16

Diner Review β„–17

This food is soooo good. The best Thai I’ve ever had. Pad Thai is especially delish.

Diner Review β„–18

The pad thai had pale noodles, no sauce, and the flavor was a bit weak. The eggs were a bit clumpy and there was a pool of oil at the bottom of the noodles.

Diner Review β„–19

I've eaten here for almost ten years now and the food has stayed consistently amazing.

Diner Review β„–21

I called in for a pick up order of sriracha wings, spring rolls and crab rangoon.
The Sriracha wings I asked for extra crispy and they came out perfectly 🀀.
My wife wanted the spring rolls and she loved them 😁.
And we both decided on an order of Crab Rangoon to shared but although the presentation looked really good; they lack the pizzazz and taste that the picture presents πŸ˜”.
Overall great for takeout πŸ‘πŸΌ.

Diner Review β„–23

Excellent thai. Also very diligent about Covid protocols even in 2023

Diner Review β„–24

This is a very unassuming place you may pass by every day, but their food is consistently wonderful. Delicate flavors, welcoming staff, folks that might even remember your β€œregular” order. They use really nice ingredients and the food has never failed to impress us!

Diner Review β„–25

Diner Review β„–26

Best Pad Thai and Thai Iced Tea around!

Diner Review β„–27

Pad Thai was just OK, a little too wet at the bottom.

Diner Review β„–28

Diner Review β„–29

Dent Thai place but not the best in the area.
Right off the bat, taking two stars off because they do not list prices on their website and when asking for a receipt, they just show you the total charge so you won’t know what your paying for each food.

When asking for their menu, the refuse to provide you with one and state that prices listed on their previous menus are the old prices so they adjust prices as they wish.

Portions of the food are good and generous but defensively not good quality.

Diner Review β„–30

Excellent food. I have been coming here for seven years now.

Diner Review β„–31

used to be one of my favorite restaurant but they are still in the covid hysteria. The mask are still required and they are making you feel like you are an infested disease paysan contaminating their pure land. Help them stay safe and bring your business elsewhere. There are many restaurant that respect their client.

Diner Review β„–32

Service was good, ingredients are of good quality but I am taking off two stars for several reasons. For one, the vegetarian page on their website includes oyster sauce in many of their dishes. The majority of vegetarians don't consider oyster sauce to be vegetarian so be sure to keep this in mind. They said they would replace the oyster sauce with soy sauce but the dishes seemed to have no sauce at all. I ordered the vegetable fried rice and other than no soy sauce everything was good. My fried rice had no egg but perhaps this is typically how they do things. My mother, who had the seafood dish, said there was too much onion and not enough seafood. My father who got the vegetable tofu dish also wanted some kind of sauce. Perhaps there wasn't good communication between the people on the phone and the kitchen staff but no oyster sauce to begin with would be good. Perhaps their dishes with meat are better but I am writing from my experience.

Diner Review β„–33

This was my second time ordering from here and it solidified an amazing rating for me! Prices are extremely reasonable and you get a good size portion. The food is super flavorful and the staff are nice. I’ve tried the crazy noodles, pad Thai, and crispy chicken pad Thai and I’d recommend them all!

Diner Review β„–34

Good food and takeout containers are more sustainable than most (aluminum with plastic lid instead of fully plastic)

Diner Review β„–35

Did not like the food at all.

Diner Review β„–36

Some of the best Thai food around. The staff is very friendly and the food is consistently good. Location is easy to miss given it's located in a small strip mall building.

Diner Review β„–37

Food is always great and portions are decent.

Diner Review β„–38

Very nice people, delish food!

Diner Review β„–39

Good, fast, takeout Thai, we are regulars there

Diner Review β„–40

Love many things but especially Chiang Mai Noodles and the Kapow Kai, which is one of the very few meat dishes I eat anymore - just too good!

Diner Review β„–41

Very good food. Has lots of flavor. I recommend their crazy noodles and basil fried rice. He basil fried rice is a little on the spicy side but still very good.

Diner Review β„–42

Great takeout Thai restaurant. Good quality, tasty food that consistently delivers.

Diner Review β„–43

This place is a hidden gem! The food is high quality, full of complex flavour and they don't skimp on the meat/veggies. The service is really friendly and kind - went over and beyond what we expected from a little takeout place. Well priced for what you're getting, large portions. Neighborhood secret!

Polite and very friendly family owner operators make yummy home style Thai dishes, great service, and a five star take out experience. Try it ; I promise you'll return!

Diner Review β„–54

Not sure if most healthy, but damn delicious.

Diner Review β„–55

Great Thai food. I like their crispy duck, mango curry, and crazy noodles. Looks like a family run restaurant.

Diner Review β„–56

Rice Cube has been one of our go to spots for take out Thai food. We also used to eat in their restaurant before the pandemic. It's a bit of drive to get there, but the food is delicious so it's worth it. We also usually order strictly vegetarian food and the owner is always super accommodating to all of our special requests and recipe tweaks. On top of that, they take the Covid-19 situation really seriously with their curbside pickup etc.

Diner Review β„–57

Most dishes here are excellent - pretty much your typical Thai takeout. It's not about the presentation, is it? We like crazy noodle, and especially the mango curry. Don't get the larb kai, it's full of raw red onions and tiny pieces of ground chicken. Otherwise most curries are delicious and also gluten-free, and many dishes are peanut-free as well.

Diner Review β„–58

This place is a gem. Way better than many take-out Thai places in Cambridge. Flavourful and generous portions for very fair price and staff are very friendly. Will be ordering here often!

Diner Review β„–59

Best Thai take out in the area. Very Covid safe.

Diner Review β„–60

Quality Thai food, doesn't taste like there's any preservatives. Large portions as well. The shop itself is pretty small, so I recommend takeout instead of dining in.

Diner Review β„–81

Watch what you order. Some of the dishes are mediocre at best and others are decent. This place is a hit or miss. I think this place was probably better in its earlier years. I usually order the papaya chicken and basil fried rice, only. I tried the mango curry (lacked flavor), siracha chicken ( I'll pass), crab Rangoon (previously frozen and still cold in middle when received).I also tried a few other menu items I wouldn't try again. If you want consistently good food, try the white coconut in Burlington! I only eat here because it's close to home and they know how to treat their customers.

Diner Review β„–82

Best Thai food around. Pad Thai is delicious

Diner Review β„–83

There is a problem with consistency. I order the same dishes all the time and there is such a variance every time. Some weeks, a dish can be perfect, the next, bad. If consistency was improved, is give it five stars but the food is still so good that it's worth me going back very frequently. Convenient Thai takes out. Not a sit down restaurant.

Diner Review β„–84

We have ordered from Rice Cube a few different times and couldnt be happier to find a new, delicious thai restaurant. Everything ordered has been outstanding and wanting us to go back.
Delivery is fast and food arrives hot.

Diner Review β„–85

Under-rated little Thai take away place with spectacularly tasty food, and really friendly service. I don't go here as often as I should, but every time I do (like today), I get a pleasant voice on the end of the phone, I get greeted with a smile when I pick up, I get thanked in a really sincere manner, and I end up with an incredibly fresh, tasty meal.

Diner Review β„–86

Diner Review β„–87

It was OK

Diner Review β„–88

This place is unbelievably good, the ingredients always taste fresh and the service is fast. I'm still just amazed at how good this place is everytime I order from here, especially the Malay Noodles.

Glad to have a delivery restaurant nearby! The crispy duck was really good, but the red curry was hot but not very flavorful. The vegetarian pad Thai and the tofu triangles were both pretty good.

Diner Review β„–94

Kitchen sets were old and tired service was terrible

Fast, tasty food with generous portions and excellent use of Thai flavors and spices. Recommended!

Diner Review β„–98

Wish they delivered to me, but I'm just outside of their delivery range in downtown Winchester.

This is my go-to for Thai takeout. I customize my dish a little and they're always willing to accommodate my request. Peanut sauce is more on the runny side, but is good with the vegetables I order. Their sticky rice is tasty and vegetables are always very fresh and clean tasting- not oily at all.

Food is always ready when I arrive and everyone has been very friendly. The ONLY downside is the parking...and that they're not closer to me. Lol.

Definitely a great little spot that I'd recommend to anyone that's in the area.

Diner Review β„–99

Rice Cube is a quaint family business and they treat their customers just as such! More for takeout than dine-in, but there are tables for seating inside.

The food is impressively authentic and I can appreciate their mission to use less oil and salt in their dishes. The food is also reasonably priced, and I’ve enjoyed every dish I’ve had thus far. Nothing is greater than the Crazy Noodle paired with a Thai iced tea!

Diner Review β„–100

Very good quantity for reasonable cost. Taste is alright, not authentic Thai but not bad for the price.

Starting to find each Thai place has a few things they do really great and other things are comparable to other places. Few things I really enjoyed here few things were ok.

Great green curry, pad thai, tofu triangles. Yum.

Diner Review β„–110

Wow, this place. Decided to try here for the first time and got delivery. Food showed up fast in about 45 minutes and the driver was friendly. The food was amazing. The pad Thai is awesome and the beef satay with their house curry sauce on it is crazy good. Will be ordering from here a lot in the future.

Diner Review β„–111

This place has really good thai food. I've had the hot beef and the chicken pad thai and they're both a step up from some of the local thai restaurants There isn't much seating so it's mostly a take-out joint.

Diner Review β„–112

Food is great, well worth it

Diner Review β„–113

Good place to get takeout Thai food. More geared towards the Americanized Thai food, but still good.

Diner Review β„–114

Really good Thai. I'm used to Thai food in LA area, but this place was pretty decent.

Solid thai food, not too pricey, service was quick and friendly.

Diner Review β„–122

Diner Review β„–123

The food is very fresh, and always tasty. Might not be much to look at, but if you need take-home Thai or sushi, Rice Cube is hard to beat! Now, if only they could re-think that name...

Diner Review β„–124

Diner Review β„–125

A very satisfying kick to my beef green curry and prompt, friendly service.

Diner Review β„–126

Diner Review β„–127

The sauces, oh the sauces. Our chicken pad thai was sauced into a succulent mirage of noodley goodness.

That is all

Diner Review β„–128

Good noodles, but inside the restaurant there was a nasty sewage smell.

Diner Review β„–129

Fantastic Thai food. One of my favorite take-out restaurants in town.

Diner Review β„–130

Awesome food! Friendly staff! What else do you want. .

Diner Review β„–131

Just had this with my family for takeout. My parents are from New Hampshire and came down for dinner and they wee impressed with the quality of the food and prices. Everything was really tasty. We will be doing more takeout from Rice Cube!

Diner Review β„–132

The definition of Thai cuisine. They have a broad range of all Thai food, that can cover all tastes. I am a local and have a daughter who is vegetarian-and the fact they can cook the menu vegetarian is great customer service. Recommend everything! A+
