Diner Review №10

first time ordering take-out and it was great. food was delicious and pick up was easy

Diner Review №11

Diner Review №12

I forgot to write a review one year ago. I loved this place so much we would eat every time noodles and mango sticky rice. The problem is I got food poisoning so often that I had to make myself stop ordering from here. Delicious every time.

Diner Review №13

This place is my go-to take-out for Thai food around here. Friendly service that does not force tip on you. Honest business. Food is excellent (drunken noodle is must try). Dine-in, not so much. Expect 20-25 min for take-out which is typical for pick-up, avoid rip-off horrible delivery service from GrubHub as these guys take too long, food will get cold by the time they reach your doorstep!

Diner Review №14

Food is amazing

Diner Review №15

The food is really good! Super friendly service! The spicy is actually very spicy.

Diner Review №16

This has quickly become one of my favorite Thai restaurants. I ordered the Tom Yum Noodle Soup and Thai Milk Tea, while others at the table tried the Crispy Chicken Fried Rice and Basil Fried Rice (not pictured). Everything was cooked to perfection, with generous portions. The chicken was crispy, delicious, and seasoned just right. The Tom Yum Soup had the perfect balance of spicy and tangy flavors, paired with soft rice noodles.

One unique menu feature is their "create your own noodles," which I’m excited to try on my next visit.

The service was exceptional; our server was really kind. The only minor downside was that the restaurant was very cold but that’s due to the chilly weather outside and the frequent in-and-out traffic.

Diner Review №18

Comfortable, clean, warm and welcoming. Attentive staff and the Khao Soi was delicious. Note you need to be escorted to the bathroom, which is a mild inconvenience but it’s no issue.

Diner Review №22

Cute place with reasonable prices and large portions. The pad Thai and Thai iced tea were great!

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

Soup is not good at all, feels like sweet-salt water.

Diner Review №25

Excellent, both as take out and as eat-in. Creative dishes + familiar fare. Gluten-friendly. Staff very helpful & accommodating. Rapid takeout service.

Diner Review №26

Really good, nice looking place with awesome tasting food! Mango curry is the best ;)

Diner Review №31

This place is such an awesome spot. The drunken noodles are to die for and their other food items are great as well. I really recommend the curry or thom yum soup as well. It's a cute little spot but it can get busy if they are overwhelmed with takeout orders.

Still, haven't had a bad experience here. Nice spot!

Diner Review №34

THIS PLACE IS LITERALLY JUST CLOSED FOR A LONG VACATION. the people leaving reviews saying they are out of business clearly do not know how to read. Their website states “long vacation from june 25th to august 19th” cant say such a long vacation is good for business, but they are definitely NOT closed down.

Diner Review №35

SUCH a hidden gem!! I got the ramen and the scallion pancakes, both were DELICIOUS!! Very reasonably priced and would love to go back again!

Diner Review №36

Was a great place. Too bad they closed their business.

Diner Review №37

Wow! They are closed! Too bad, it was a great place.

Diner Review №38

Tasty options including a green tea noodle that I'm yet to try

Diner Review №39

Love the service here, been here several times and the food, services has been amazing 👏

Diner Review №41

Best drunken noodles I’ve ever had

Diner Review №42

Been meaning to write a review of this place for a while now. Small, cute, inviting space with a great menu and food that is extremely flavorful. I originally discovered the place during a search for a Thai Restaurant that offers Khao Soi. Not only is the Khao soi delicious, but so is everything else. Beware, they can pack a lot of spice into certain dishes. I once tried the "mild" spice crispy chicken and it kicked! So if you are spice-averse (which I am not), take it slow with any menu items displaying a chili pepper icon! Their pan-fried ravioli are THE BEST (especially dine-in when crispy and hot). I also enjoy the steamed shumai and the create-your-own noodle options. My wife loves the Pad Thai. Although the name of the restaurant doesn't inspire much excitement, I highly recommend this place and hope it sticks around for a long time!

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

The ramen was bland and you don't marinate your eggs?

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Can't get any fresher or tastier!! I've tried several dishes over my fifteen visits and always look forward to next time. Definitely don't want to keep this place a secret so spread the word for this top drawer Thai favorite in Natick!

Diner Review №47

Quaint restaurant, good food,

Diner Review №48

The food, music, and energy was great. Will be a new regular date night location! Service was super!

Diner Review №49

Great Thai food, I have been going there from last a few years though their prices have skyrocketed in let 1 year

Diner Review №50

Got take red curry and Todd min. Both were delicious. Asked for extra spicy and it did not disappoint!

Diner Review №51

Great food, surprisingly low prices. I’ll definitely come back when I get the chance.

Diner Review №52

Today was my second time eating at Rice Noodles Eatery. First tim we ordered appetizers and they were all fabulous. Today we ordered Chicken Broccoli Stir Fried entree. Disappointing. Chicken was steamed and vegetables were hard, barely cooked. Will definitely return for appetizers..

Diner Review №53

We came to this place last night and had chicken satay with peanut sauce, tum yum noodle soup and Bangkok fried rice. All 3 tasted amazing 👌. I’ve had Thai food in the US in different places over the years and this place is surely one of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. However I wouldn’t suggest having it within the restaurant since it’s very small in area, location is kind of dingy, was a bit cold inside(even though there was room heater) and didn’t have any restroom. However, I would highly recommend having takeout at this place. I’ll come back again.

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

We like their Thai food. It’s spot on! I like Pad Woonsen and my husband love Pad Thai. We are enjoying having meals here.

Diner Review №56

Food was tasty, especially the sauces. Service was fast. Decor was nice. It's a small place that can only hold about 15 people. So it might fill up at times.

Diner Review №57

Cozy decor inside the restaurant. Welcoming staff. Good portions and flavors. Authentic and delicious flavors. Owner manager Oran is friendly and pleasant. Will come back!

Diner Review №58

Petite, chic, clean, fresh, and delicious!

Diner Review №59

This is our second time here for dinner! Teriyaki chicken with vegetables and pineapple fried rice. A lot of food options and super tasty. Definitely recommend but seating is tight and limited

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Come here every time we visit this area! Small but cozy. The food and service are excellent : )
I like the Pad Thai and Mango Fried Rice here. Hope to try more dishes next time.
And hope they can move to a bigger place, so that we don't need to always do the takeout... (they do have some tables, but it's often crowded)

Diner Review №63

Tamarind duck, pad see ew, and crispy pork belly are best we've had. Will return for sure

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Great noodle dishes with lots of choices. Food was great. Going back soon.

Diner Review №66

Love the pad thai here and everything else my party has ordered has been yummy. The spicy dishes are very spicy! The staff/owners are friendly.

I wish they could move to a bigger space. There are only a few dine-in tables and in two of three recent visits, we weren't able to get a table.

Diner Review №67

We got the crispy chicken fried rice and drunken noodles. The drunken noodles which is level 3 was good but spicy. Next time I will get level 2. The fried rice was well seasoned. I will visit again if I am in the area.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

My son loves the food I have a shell fish allergy so I don’t eat the food it’s all cooked in the same oil, but he really loves it a little pricy but good.

Diner Review №70

Diner Review №71

My wife and I frequent this place at least once a week. The food is amazing and the service is very fast.

Diner Review №72

Amazing taste, excellent customer service and very clean. Everyone there is very hard working and dedicated to giving a positive, tasty, memorable experience. Would definitely recommend this hidden gem to any one who’s into Thai cuisine.

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Great dishes, esp Pad SeeU w chicken. Coconut milk soup w steamed Tofu is excellent. Definitely will be back here.

Diner Review №75

Soooo delicious. Everything was incredible. We have a Thai restaurant near our home that we enjoy so I went in expecting the same but holy cow was my mind blown. Might need to make a special trip just to eat here again.

Storefront is small with a hefty takeout business. Don't be fooled into thinking this isn't anything special.

Diner Review №76

The food was so fresh and flavorful, the staff were friendly and the service was fast. 10/10 recommend!

Diner Review №77

Food is fantastic. Their drunken noodles and Basil pad- thai are *chefs kiss* I have only eaten there once because the space is very small - but the service was great. It’s only one guy working the phones, the cashier and the service so it’s impressive. Def recommend!!!

Diner Review №78

I’ve been eating here at least once a month for the last 3 years. The food is ALWAYS good. The service is ALWAYS good. I’m proud that this restaurant is a part of our community. Keep up the good work.

Diner Review №81

My hands-down favorite thai restaurant around; I can't believe I haven't left a review here for it yet. Amazing and consistent food, the staff is awesome, and overall it's just a very cool experience. I always get the custom vegan noodle options they have and they're always so good.

Diner Review №82

Incredible. My friends and I have come here 1-3 times per month for the past year. Every time I have family visiting, I take them here. The food and flavors are truly on another level. Every dish I've had is great. My favorites are the drunken noodles, but I've heard great things about the pad see ew, basil fried rice, and pad thai from my friends. We've had so many of their appetizers, and all are wonderful. Special mention to the mango sticky rice, which is divine. I am going to be so sad when I move next year and have to leave this place behind. It is a gem!

You can tell the people who own the place are incredibly hardworking. They always have so many carry out orders, but they are still so incredibly prompt and kind with service. I truly, truly love it here and it is my favorite restaurant!!

Me and my wife have been coming here for over a year. Easily the best tom yum I’ve head and also the best curries and pad thai. This place is the definition of a hidden gem.

Diner Review №87

Diner Review №88

The Flavor on the soup was 🔥 the coconut milk Flavor was different but still good. The mango sticky rice was really nice and moist also very good.

The Chicken wings🍗 were the worst we have had so basic And Flavorless somthing u would find at a basic subshop I suggest you take off menu or find a better quality wing with some authentic Thai Flavor.

Overall every thing is really Great love there 🍜.

Diner Review №89

It’s good food, bigger portion would be nice tho

Diner Review №90

Ordered Drunken Noodles and Panang Curry
The Drunken Noodles were pretty good
However the Panang Curry was the worst I have ever had
It was like water but just with added flavor
Chicken was a little undercooked and even the rice was a little on the harder side.
2 stars is purely for the Drunken Noodles

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

Cute little spot. Not bind blowing but very yummy and such lovely service.

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

I was looking for good and authentic Thai food since the Green Papaya in Waltham and found one. Just tried pad Thai with little bit of lime and saw the new world of Thai food. Definitely will try more and in restaurant.

Diner Review №104

Great Thai food locally. The service is always topnotch too even though it's very busy.

Diner Review №105

Food is always delicious there. At least once a week I grab lunch here and it never disappoints. Whenever I do go my fiancé expects me to come with some delight from there.

Diner Review №109

Spoke to someone over the phone who aid their name was "NO" and was the management. They were very rude and unaccommodating.

Temporarily in the area for work.Paid $70 for online order and none of the food was edible. The Basil Rice was old , not fresh at all. You could tell the chicken and rice had been rewarmed. The crab Rangoon was full of cheese and no crab. They sent out the food with nocutlerry, straws, or napkins.

Horrible experience. There has to be better Thai in the area. This was garbage. I've never experienced such poor quality food. The other reviews must be paid, from family, or friends because their food is garbage and ended up in the trash where it belongs.

Diner Review №111

We got Basil Pad Thai and Tamarind Duck. The pad Thai was good and fairly priced. The duck was perfectly crispy. I would order it again, however I would ask for the sauce on the side, as it is VERY sweet and the dish comes with a lot of sauce.

Small dining area with quick service.

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

Excellent Thai food!

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Diner Review №116

Delightful little eatery with nice lighting and simple seating. The food and service was great, and open to requests (like switching out meat for tofu and removing eggs on request). Great vegetarian options, with a variety of tasty appetizers! We tried the curry puffs and the golden triangles and loved both. For the entrees, we got mango curry and pad thai. Both were great, with the right amount of spice and sweetness (for the mango curry).

Diner Review №117

Food was some of the best Thai foods I’ve had.

Diner Review №118

I love it. Vegan options. Polite courteous staff. But the food.. You will crave it again the next day. Everything is perfect

Got the Drunken Noodles with crispy chicken and it was fresh, savory, spicy and overall delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Diner Review №128

A small little place, but the food, service and price are great. The owner is friendly and pleasant to talk to. I highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №129

We are regulars here. We love it. My favorite dishes are the Pad thai, Pad See Ew, Spicy Miso Ramen and the Crab Rangoons. We always order dine in or to go, and always great. They are fast and have good service.

Diner Review №130

Excellent food, excellent experience. Stopped by for a quick meal while traveling through. Service was fast and friendly, food came very quickly and was so good we ordered more to go!

Ordered takeout and food was delicious! Got the pad thai lunch with beef, and there was a generous amount of meat! Portion size was also large (had leftovers!)

Really good inexpensive Thai food, highly recommend.

Diner Review №138

Went with my family during rush hour and although it took a little of time because of the small seating area, the owner was incredibly polite and apologetic. The food also made up for it, no question. The crispy pad thai was incredibly flavorful and my favorite dish of the night, no question.

Diner Review №139

Diner Review №140

The food, whether it's Thai noodles or pho, is just not that good. Take the pho, the broth tastes really watered down and was over spiced with random hot oil. I've given this place two tries and have ended up disappointed both times.

Diner Review №141

Delicious delicious food! An amazing amount of vegetarian options. I've ordered from here several times and dined-in a couple of time.. cozy clean restaurant with kind hospitable staff.. meals are absolutely delicious each time.. highly recommend there Curry Puffs, Vegetable Red Curry, crispy triangles, Chive cakes, Singapore noodles. Love this place!!

Diner Review №147

Really great food. They don’t hold back on the spice! Crispy chicken is fantastic.

Diner Review №148

Diner Review №149

I tried this place for the first time tonight. I got the create your own noodles with bean thread noodles and tofu and a fried rice. The food was delivered hot and was so fresh and tasty. Not smothered in sauce yet very flavorful. This is the best Thai/Asian cuisine place around me by far

Diner Review №150

I got uber eats delivery from here, I really loved the pad thai with chicken. I also got the spicy miso ramen soup with pork belly. I was not crazy about the pork belly but I thought the broth of the soup was delicious. Big portions!! I would definitely try the drunken noodle next time.

Diner Review №151

Delicious food. Always freshly made and hot

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

Best Thai place around! The sticky rice and mango dessert is to die for.

Diner Review №154

Tasty Thai food

Diner Review №155

Love the interior design here! Food is great!
Edited: came here again today. There coconut water and iced tea are the best!

Diner Review №156

Excellent food. Excellent service. Very unassuming, casual atmosphere.
They are doing a mean takeout business there. 🥡🤯

Diner Review №157

We already fell in love with this place since we just walked in. The place is small but very cozy and cute. We tried Tod Mun as appetizer, Tom Yum noodles soup and Crispy Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken as main entrees and we are impressed! The broth is rich and flavorful; everything else is tasty. Definitely will come back and try other foods. I highly recommended!

Diner Review №158

Diner Review №159

Very good food! We will be back!

Diner Review №160

Been one of my new favorite places to go to! Very small restaurant, but stylish and neat, food is extraordinary and the staff is always so polite!

Diner Review №161

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

i always had my favorite noodles: Flat Rice Noodles with Creamy Sweet Chili Basil Sauce and my protein is Pork. Taste very good!

Diner Review №164

I love the food at this restaurant. I've only ever ordered takeout, but it's ready in a timely fashion, the staff are always kind, and the food is great! I've had many menu items and a few my favorites/go-tos are the Basil Pad Thai (chicken or tofu), Tom Kha Soup (chicken or vegetable), Red Curry (chicken or tofu), and Chicken Satay - all of them are delicious. I highly recommend trying out Rice Noodle Thai Eatery!

Diner Review №165

A lovely little place that's good in every way! The food is grrat - we ordered veggie curry puffs and two build-your-own noodle bowls, and all of it was really good. The service was wonderful, with really kind and considerate staff. The restaurant itself had a cozy ambiance that felt fancier than you would expect for the affordable prices! Overall would definitely recommend this place.

Diner Review №166

Went with a group and had a good time! Lots of food, good amount to share! Service was attentive.

If you are from out of town, you'll find that bathrooms are thru the kitchen.

Diner Review №167

Diner Review №168

Quite and delicious place . Vegetable noodles with crispy chicken and cashew nuts was so tasty. Highly recommend .

Diner Review №169

Unfortunately we were not impressed, it's good but not great. Oil tasted a bit off, veggies were mushy.

Diner Review №170

Great small eatery in an unassuming strip mall. Upon entering the small dining room is cozy and bright. Large menu with a variety of dishes including a large build your own noodle bowl section with a large selection of different meats and noodles.

I had the drunken noodle which was one of the best I’ve had in quite some time. As well the staff was very friendly and even brought out a kids plate for my young daughter to use. Really recommend this place!!

Diner Review №171

Horrible experience. Food was so bad. Noodles were clumped . Spring rolls so hard . Absolutely lacked flavor . Will never order from this place again .

Diner Review №172

Amazing Thai Food😍😍😍

Diner Review №173

Diner Review №174

The previous positive reviews are definitely true! Rice Noodles Thai Restaurant offers great food in a clean and modern restaurant. Nice people here.

Diner Review №175

We tried this spot based off of Google reviews alone and we were not disappointed. Just the right amount of heat in their spicy dishes.

Diner Review №176

Diner Review №177

Let me preface this by saying that I have never written a review for a restaurant in my life. This place is dreadful… Reading swaths of positive reviews for it has led me to question my own sanity. The food is bland, inauthentic and overpriced. Beware.

Diner Review №178

Really good, consistent Thai food.

Diner Review №179

Diner Review №180

So delicious Thai place in the town. Got vegetable noodles with crispy chicken and cashew nut sauce, it was incredible. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Diner Review №181

Good food. No bathroom lol

Diner Review №182

Everything is good except for the crab rangoon. DO NOT get the crab rangoons.

Diner Review №183

Diner Review №184

Diner Review №185

The khao soi and make your own noodles is so so good.

Diner Review №186

Love the food. Would seem like a takeout place, but the seating is quite cute so it is fun to eat in there as well

Diner Review №187

Takeout is always attentive to detail and requests for tweaks to both carnivorous and vegan dishes.

Diner Review №188

The food here is always stellar. Small little restaurant that is always busy and great service.

Diner Review №189

Great service

Diner Review №190

I ordered spicy pad Thai and a Thai iced tea, the pad Thai was all spice and no flavor, like I couldn’t even taste the spice it just burned my lips, no lime or bean sprouts or peanut flavor, very pale overall. the Thai tea was very watery and plain, definitely won’t be eating here again

Diner Review №191

Where is the heat? The food was decent but when you say something is spicy, I expect some heat but there was nothing. Could have labeled as mild! Ordered crab ragoon and it was ok. Pineapple fried rice was tasty. A yellow curry dish was disappointing since no heat and the pad thai was good.

Diner Review №192

Love the food and love their service. Offered gluten free options as well.

Diner Review №193

Great menu. Fast - friendly efficient service.
Loved the crispy chive cakes. Delicious choo chee!

Best crispy pad thai in the region!!

Diner Review №198

Diner Review №199

Had a great Valentine’s Day dinner. We shared two different soups, two entrees and one dessert. All of our selections were vegetarian. Out of the five items, four were super amazing and one was just pretty good. Wonderful flavors and nice presentations. The up front mgr was gracious, friendly and efficient. Can’t wait to return.

Lovely hole in the wall. Much recommended!
