“BEST THAI FOOD !!! IN CHARLOTTE,NC” We offer variety of Thai dishes and Vietnamese cuisine. Our flavor is so authentic that you will feel like you are in Thailand. Our staff members are ready to take care of you and your loved one. Thank you 🙏 “Thai food near me”
I will start off by saying that we were very excited about having lunch here. We had heard great things and had many recommendations to eat here.
We arrived around 1pm and there were a out 4 other tables already there and eating. We were shown to our seats quickly but then it took quite a while to be seen. The lady who had shown us to our seats ended up coming back and started our order.
We started with the Tod Mun Plaa (Thai fish cake) and we did enjoy that.
For our entree we chose Kuay Tiew Rua (Thai Boat Noodles) I realized once we had ordered and they brought us our meal, we were never asked about spice level. I didn't think of it, but I overheard the other tables being seated and with another server, always being asked about the spice level.
The portion for the entree was great and we knew we would have plenty to take home, even between the two of us.
Unfortunately a couple bites in, my husband just couldn't stomach it anymore. It was a bomb of salt and Five Spice. No other flavors could be tasted.
We also ordered the child's Pad Thai from the kids menu for our toddler. I'm not sure if it was because it was on the kids menu or not, but there didn't seem to be any flavor to it at all.
We were never really checked on and our server never seemed as kind and communicative as she was with other tables or as the other server was with his tables.
The visit definitely deflated our expectations.
We are hoping that the lack of service to our table and the quality of food was just a one off.
We may consider visiting again and trying other dishes.
Very good food. I had returned from a 3 month stay in Thailand. I lived off of food carts and food stalls. The taste was close, but it just wasn't the Thai street food I was used to. Don't get me wrong, the food was on point. When you are eating alongside many Thai people, use Google Translate to communicate and experience real Thai culture.
Huge portions with awesome flavors in the food. Only thing there didn't like was the spice level even though I ordered medium spicy but felt it much spicier to handle. Would probably need to go mild next time.
Another great stuff about this place is that they have Khao Sou dish. This is not found usually in Thai restaurants, but was refreshing to find it at this place.
Their online menu does not show but they have Chicken satay as an appetizer.
The food is "meh" watered down curried
Not very "layered" threw a few potato's and chicken cuts in some soup and served it over white rice, I mean for a cheap meal it's okay I guess, but there's better options like "bahn Thai" they are more expensive but worth it when it comes to flavor!
I don't want to be mean but this type of restaurant is geared towards the "uncultured southern scene" if you're from up north this will not "wow" you
It's just average- which is ok it comes with this price point.
The best Thai food in Charlotte so far. It doesn’t feel like they altered their dishes to suit a certain taste, and remain pretty authentic.
We had their green and red curry, pad Thai and kra pow. All good. This one is one of the top pad Thai in my opinion. Very flavorful.
I will say that in terms of spice levels, it’s not very consistent. We got the Kra Pow and red curry “Thai hot”, and the pad Thai and green curry just “hot”. We tend to like things spicy.
The Kra pow ended up not being spicy at all, we thought it was mild. The red curry was spicy, but it was not “Thai hot”. The green curry was really really spicy…so I’m assuming it was “Thai hot”?. And the pad Thai was in between mild and hot. So maybe they got things kinda mixed up.
Based on this experience, I will probably order the curries mild next time. Just because this is the type of spicy that lingers and continues to burn. So I think mild should be more enjoyable. But I do love the pad Thai spicy and I hope the Kra pow would be hot next time.
Area of Improvement: Rice… it was too mushy. I cannot stand mushy rice.

This is our go-to place for a good, quick dinner. Friendly service and atmosphere. Highly recommend this place.
Such a wonderful hidden gem! We drive 30 minutes for this regularly. Can’t say enough good things about this place
My go-to spot whenever I’m craving Thai food! The dishes are delicious, and the service and staff are excellent.
Would rate a zero. Called in. They can’t speak nor understand English. Placed an order and went to pick up. They had no idea of who I was nor the order. Until they can learn to understand and properly speak English do NOT order from them.
At Rice and spice, the spice isn't all that nice. Staff seemed sort of cold. The only cheerful one was the lady in the back cooking. Portions for the soup ($32) were menial
Not worth the price and food isn’t authentic Thai and taste very bland (I personally feel that the food is not cooked by a Thai chef). Lastly the portions are very small for the price being charged.
Definitely not an authentic Thai restaurant and wouldn’t go here again.
Food was good
Literally a gem of a find, the food was incredible. The Angry Cowboy was definitely a standout, as was the Kra Pow and Drunken Noodle. Service was fast, and we still had leftovers! The spice and herb profiles on each dish seemed carefully planned and attended to. Will be returning to this location ASAP!
The prices are way too expensive for the food to only be average. It's not bad, but I've had food from here twice with different groups and tried a few different dishes, and all were... okay. I don't feel like I'll give this place a third chance if it's just going to be $$$$ and not even anything special.
Amazing. One of the top Thai places in Charlotte. Highly recommend. They also have allergens clearly labeled and gluten free options. So good. You won’t regret it.
We went for the lunch special which was supposed to come with soup. They didn't have any, but they didn't offer anything to replace it.
I beg you to try the red curry. It is PHENOMENAL!!! I had the pad thai as well and it was good, just not curry good!!! I get it on repeat now. Portions are huge too so some for today some for tomorrow! Enjoy :)
Food was water down. Service was horrible
We told them less spicy, but how will listen the server be horrible? I would not recommend the restaurant 😒
Glass noodle pad thai was great
Love the food here!! We had diner her quiet few times and never disappointed.
All my friends and family enjoyed the food.
Shirmp appetizer
Papaya salad are the best
Also best Crab fried rice I ever had.
Tell them you need spicy 😃
We had a work party of 15 at lunch and everyone spoke highly of their dish. Staff was professional, welcoming, and attentive. My favorite thai spot in this area of town.
We had high expectations due to the stellar reviews. The atmosphere is fine. Our server was competent but unfriendly. Maybe he was having a bad day. The chicken wings we the smallest we've ever had. I don't like spicy food and don't eat rice therefore the menu options were limited which is not their fault. It would be nice to be able to order a curry dish with little spice. I had the Pad Gra Tiem and it was good.
My family and I were excited to eat here as they have excellent reviews and the food looked delicious in the pictures.
Upon entering we were greeted by very friendly staff but soon discovered they cook with peanut oil therefore preventing us from eating there.
Amazing pho and Thai red curry
One of my favorite spots to eat in the city. The Basil Fried Rice never disappoints. Highly recommend!
Love their crab fried rice
The food is amazing! Always fresh and flavorful!!
I love the Khao Soi dish here. However, the last few times I’ve ordered it, Rice & Spice has been very inconsistent with making it. One time my partner & I ordered this dish to-go and one container was fuller than the other. Also, the limes were missing. On this occasion, we ordered a few of the hot chili oil. There were no chilis in the container, just oil. We always order this chili oil so we know exactly how it comes. Not having the chili oil affected how we like to eat this dish (Khao Soi). On our last visit, my partner & I were surprised at how our to-go Khao Soi container were 40% filled & in one container the pickle mustards were missing. Not sure if there’s new cooks but I hope Rice & Spice can become more inconsistent.
The food is "meh" watered down curried
Not very "layered" threw a few potato's and chicken cuts in some soup and served it over white rice, I mean for a cheap meal it's okay I guess, but there's better options like "bahn Thai" they are more expensive but worth it when it comes to flavor!

It's just average- which is ok it comes with this price point.
Ordered veggie pad Thai. Never had pad Thai with this taste and red sauce. Not bad just strange. Also had celery which I don’t think I had in Pad Thai before.
Great Thai food with some uncommon offerings like Thai Jerky. Everything we had was prepared well and very tasty. We'll be back!
Great food, great price. The staff is very friendly. Highly highly recommend
I ordered take out 2 entree 2 order of spring rolls. I arrived at 9:40 to pick up. I asked for more sweet chili sauce and she quickly said the kitchen is closed. I was drawn back because it was sauce. I told her I really needed extra sauce she was firm with a no. I ordered two orders of spring rolls, no way she could think I was about to pay $40 for 2 vegetable pad Thai and some rolls . And not get extra sauce . I even had extra money to buy the sauce she still refused . I left and I won’t be back .
I’m a line cook so I know even if the kitchen is closing. Sauce is nothing compared to fried items
We ordered red curry , pad sew and fried rice and in dessert Mango sticky rice
Everything was amazing . Our new fav thai spot
Very good food. I had returned from a 3 month stay in Thailand. I lived off of food carts and food stalls. The taste was close, but it just wasn't the Thai street food I was used to. Don't get me wrong, the food was on point. When you are eating alongside many Thai people, use Google Translate to communicate and experience real Thai culture.
We ordered a take out on a weekend. We went in person for ordering and they told us the wait time was 45 mins, while it was a long wait the food was completely worth it.
We ordered green curry, spring rolls, khowsuey and tom kha. The food was delicious and special call out to the green curry.
We are definitely going there again but will call and order ahead of time.
We get almost the same thing every time we go. We normally do take out and it's always delicious. Red duck curry, pineapple fried rice and its our favorite Thai place in the area.
We recently tried eating in the dining room again after a year or so since our last visit and the atmosphere and service were not what we expected. No major issues but just the level of attention from our server and atmosphere due to needing some updates to the dining room (seats in disrepair, tables wabbling) left a little to be desired.
Definitely recommend the take out. We will keep coming back. We will likely however not be back to dine in person anytime soon.
The food had just the right amount of spice and converted me from rice to noodles.
Professional owner and staff. Great atmosphere and great food. Will definitely be back it’s as good as the reviews. The chef’s specialty’s on the menu are top tier ❤️
Disappointing Experience
Visited the restaurant and was told they couldn't serve us due to an inspection, yet they were serving other tables. When we asked why, the staff said it was because those customers were regulars. This favoritism made us feel unwelcome and undervalued. Upon asking why they took the other tables' orders, the staff responded that they were regular customer and had to be served. We felt discriminated against and expressed our unhappiness, but the staff ignored us and went to the other table. She told us we could leave or wait for an hour, while the other table was told to wait for 30 minutes. Very, very disappointed. Will not be returning.
Good food and good service. Spices was spicy like your girl’s attitude.
After leaving NYC and moving to Charlotte - this is my new favorite Thai lunch spot. Can’t go wrong with anything on their menu!
Love the soups here. The food is great and the service as well. Price wise this is definitely much cheaper then the others around without compromising on the food quality.
Love going here.
Awesome food. Ate there with my wife’s and 3 kids. Had a selection of appetizers and main dishes. Everybody loved their food. Absolutely no complaints.
The moo ping was really good, very spicy dipping sauce which is a plus for me, the pineapple fried rice was really great as well, the service was top notch, It is one of my favorite places in the Charlotte area, I will try everything on the menu.
As someone who's visited Thailand in the past it is always hard to find an authentic pad thai or thai places back in NC- The lunch special chicken pad thai (thai hot) was a great value for the price and was decently spicy! The staff was friendly and nice, definitely plan on coming back again!
Enjoyed the pho chicken, moo ping & shrimp drunken noodles.
I’ve been trying to find good food in Charlotte especially good Thai and drunken noodles. Every single thing we had here was SO good finally found our spot! Can’t wait to try everything!
This place will blow you away! The food is excellent! I love the Tom Kha soup & crazy noodles!
Excellent. A little noisy for intimate dining and conversation. But we're old so there's that. We'll be back...
I stopped by on a whim seeing the sign as I was driving past, it was a good decision. Plenty of seating, waiter was attentive and the curry in the green curry noodle bowl was so good. If I wasn't full I'd have gotten rice to soak it all up.
We love eating here. Food and everything is great. Have never had any issues with our order or customer service. If anything, be mindful of the phuket delight because it is heavily saturated with sauce, which you may or may not like. We did not enjoy that too much, but I think it comes down to personal preference.
If I could give this food 6 stars I would. EXCELLENT! I am so happy that I found this hidden gem. BRAVO!
Good Asian food.
My favorite Thai food in Charlotte
My favorite Thai place in South Charlotte, their Drunken Noodles are great!
Great food and staff.
THE best authetic Thai food. Great service.
Authentic Thai. Flavor. Quality. The whole experience. Highly recommended!
Good food, atmosphere, and people. Amazing spring rolls!
Amazing food, amazing service.
I love this restaurant, one of my favorites.
Food is always great here, especially the curry dishes. Staff is polite and professional and appreciate the service. Never have any issues here.
Really great service, wonderful staff, food was pretty damn good
My wife and I love this restaurant. The food is always delicious. Portions are well worth the price. The servers are always attentive and friendly.
Wonderful place. Lots of yummy options and thr staff are amazing
Food was great. I’ll be coming back!!
Rice and Spice has ruined other CLT area Thai restaurants for me. I’m literally eating Thai House right now and all I want is Rice and Spice.
The food was decent it is not authentic Thai food
Loved the shrimp Pad Thai and the service provided
I haven't been to this place before but we decided to try it on a whim.. we came maybe 1.5hrs before they closed. Decided to try a few things...everything was good...but the beef jerky was definitely too hard. The shrimp app was delicious but overly saturated, the Pad Thai was good..however the shrimp was not seasoned. The staff was very kind. Will visit again and try more things.
Went for lunch and the service and food was excellent. I do say if you are not a spicy food person modify the heat on your dish. Medium spice is still hot 🔥🔥
Probably the best Thai around. Their medium spice is "medium plus".
We stopped in for lunch for the 2nd time today. Had to come back, it is that good. Great variety on the menu and all at great prices. Quick service too. Highly recommend eating here.
Good Thai at decent price.
My favorite Thai restaurant when visiting Charlotte!
Saw the review and decided to give it a try. We ordered chicken wings, Thai boat noodle, shaking beef, kids chicken fried rice. Noodle was warm not hot ant too salty. Shaking beef was way too salty. The food was okay but won’t be back. Bummer it wasn’t good as reviews.
Been there a couple of times. Really good food. The girl that is the server is really nice and kind. Food is a little bit pricey but portions are big.
Best Thai food in Charlotte area! Love it!!!
Delicious! Definitely going back. Gyoza was divine!
Love Rice and Spice!!! We all had a fabulous meal and will be back!!!!
My favorite Thai joint in charlotte. Killer food.
Drunken noodles were good! I got mild & it was not spicy at all! Which is good if you’re a wimp like me. My partner got the hottest level & said it wasn’t very hot. So, take their word when they say mild. Cute outside! Inside was a little weird. We were in a booth with a wood wall thing next to us that had plastic on it? And little statues had tags, so not sure if they’re selling them. Waitstaff is definitely urged to upswell & its pretty annoying. Food was decent. I’d go back if I was in the area & Musashi was closed like it was when we went.
Very nice and warm place to visit.
The food was great. But I am vegetarian I ordered two dishes with tofu. But tofu is very bland taste. Personally I like tofu bit here I didn't like lofu here. But overall like the food except tofu.
We ordered basil fried rice with tofu and vegetables 😋. Fried rice was delicious. And another dish was pad thai. I love the pad thai . It tastes 😋 👌. My friends were ate some meat dishes they were like the food .
This food is absolutely delicious! This is our go to spot- we come here multiple times a week. The food is so flavorful! My kids and my wife love it! 6 stars! Great and friendly staff!
Great tom kha!
Always pleased with my meal!!
The food was great! Service was polite but slow. And the low ceiling made the room uncomfortably noisy. We'll probably go back because the food was so good. But we may opt for takeout and bring it home to eat.
I just moved in right next to Rice and Spice and now I don't ever want to move again because this restaurant is absolutely amazing. The portions are large and EXTREMELY flavorful. I have eaten their spring rolls, Thai beef jerky (to die for), their pineapple fried rice, and their shaking beef, all of which was amazing, but nothing compares to the drunken noodles. When my family tried the drunken noodles off of my plate, everyone ordered a serving to go. There is something here for everyone and the service is fantastic. This is one of the top places that I recommend to friends and family visiting Charlotte. You won't be disappointed!
I always love going to this place. I have been coming here since they opened. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious.
Excellent lunch specials during the week. Large portions, food is perfect, and the soup appetizer is superb. Service is awesome. I’ve always been seated very quickly, and the server is there soon after. Very fast on getting food to the table once orders are in.
Have done carry out also, would recommend that too. But don’t miss out on the soup by not eating there!
Huge portions with awesome flavors in the food. Only thing there didn't like was the spice level even though I ordered medium spicy but felt it much spicier to handle. Would probably need to go mild next time.
Another great stuff about this place is that they have Khao Sou dish. This is not found usually in Thai restaurants, but was refreshing to find it at this place.
Their online menu does not show but they have Chicken satay as an appetizer.
I had a fantastic dining experience at Rice and Spice Thai Restaurant. The food was delicious, and my personal favorite was the Thai green curry. Highly recommended for those who enjoy authentic Thai cuisine!
The most authentic place in Charlotte fro viet/thai! this place is absolutely delicious and fresh. We go with a few friends and all get different meals and share amongst each other to try all the goodness this place has to offer! Their soups are flavorful. The spicy beef salad has the best sauce- fresh lime and fish saiuce and other spices- makes my mouth water! Try their chili oil on the side too- its a deep warm heavenly addition. Staff is awesome. They are short staffed sometimes but food comes out pretty fast.
Nice, cozy spot. Everything I have tried there tasted amazing. This is my go-to spot when new people come to town and everyone said this is one of the best Thai food places they have eaten at. Even converted a person who normally doesn't eat Thai food to eating Thai food regularly! My favorite dish is the Spicy Basil Fried Rice and their Thai tea is really good.
Really good food. Service was really good. Nice relaxing place to eat
Great curry puffs, mid pad woon sen. Service is great tho and I'll probably be back to try their takes of some of my other favorite Thai dishes.
So good! Best miso soup. Loved the pad pak. Perfect for my vegan husband too.
I’ve always eaten here in the past as this is the only mediocre Thai cuisine in the CLT area but I have never ordered their chicken wing appetizer until today. 4 small pieces of fried chicken wings smothered with bottled Thai chili sauce for $9!!!! Come on! $2.25 per piece!
Absolutely delicious!! I am fairly new to Charlotte and coming from the West Coast, I am extremely picky about my Thai cuisine. I'm so relieved I found a place, as the first restaurant I tried was average but had good ratings. I ordered the Red Curry and Pad Woon Sen and it was perfectly prepared. My request for level of spiciness is always "as hot as you can make it" and they didn't disappoint. It was indeed VERY spicy (and I was warned), but the taste and flavors of the food didn't get lost in the heat. If you know your Thai food, I highly recommend you try R&S. Note: Takeout. Host was kind, helpful and personable.
My girl and I visited this place last week. Loved the taste, flavor of the food. Server just acted very busy and she had no time to listen. Spoiled e experience.
AVOID !!!! Service is very poor. Go for Thai House 2 mins away.
We were made to wait even though tables were empty and knowing there were impatient kids. We asked for water 2 times and after 10 mins wait, it was served. Remember Ice water my dear captain. We ate the same dish as last time. Last time they could make without fish sauce, this time they can't. By the time, we can talk to her - she moved away. Had to ask thrice for the check and only 2 tables had customers at that time. If you can't serve, please make self serve. I am happy to take my cutlery, napkins, water and my food. Finally paid at counter with the tip they deserve. She threatened that with such low tip, service can be denied next time. I never knew this was the last restaurant I could dine in. Thanks for letting me know. Bad service, low tip. Good service high tip. You can argue if you want, but that's how it is.
Edit - Response : Customer service starts from when customer enters a restaurant not only after food is served. We also visited on 14th July and the tall boy server served us well. You can now check that bill amount and tip. Point is customer delight throughout, however it seems you value feedback only if it's 5 star rated and do not use this for introspection. Food was brilliant, we will visit next time when you have a day off OR takeout.
Authentic, fresh , flavorful... this list goes on and on. I'll make this one short and sweet- Just Go!
First time eating here . The food was excellent, and I loved the great customer service. I will be going back…
I was so pleased to find a restaurant which offered vegan options. It has been a couple of years since I've made the 45 minute trip to dine at Spice and Rice. At each visit I was assured that the curry was vegan. The curry was exceptionally good at each visit.
Today, when I asked if the curry was vegan, I was told, NO, that the sauce contained fish sauce, making it non-vegan. I am quite disappointed that Rice and Spice's curry is no longer an option for those of us who are vegan.
Me and my wife ate there for lunch..amazing food and customer service. Caesar was great
So far, this is the best and most authentic Thai food I’ve found in the Charlotte area.
Great Thai food. Excellent and CONSISTENT food quality. Friendly staff. Lots of regulars which is always a good sign.
First time ever going. My spring rolls were good. My water tasted like tap, and I had to ask for ice because it was warm. So I ordered a ginger ale, and it tasted off. The food was not great. I ordered like a chicken lo mein, and it was not good, so they took it back, and I ordered the chicken fried rice it tasted better. My fiance enjoyed his food and he was Okay me on the other hand not too happy.
I’m not exaggerating when I say this might be the best Thai food I’ve ever had. We’ve been back multiple times and it’s just as good as we remember. Highly recommend the Moo Ping appetizer, drunken noodles, and curry! We’ve tried a few other things on their menu, but these are our favorites!
Ordered takeout and it did not disappoint! Really yummy basil fried rice, drunken noodles, pad Thai and mango sticky rice.
They have the best Pad Thai is the best, my husband gets the Drunken Noodle and he says it is really good. The service is always great best Thai food around
Soup was excellent and food was as well.
Super tasty! Happy my server convinced me to try something new. Red curry with beef - Khao Soi. Yummy stuff!
Good cold beer too = Nice stag date night.
5 enthusiastic stars!
8/14, brought my wife and family a few times now. The fried rice is very good, as are many other items.
10/26, still delectable artistic cuisine.
6/22/2023 - Still amazing. Price, portion, presentation... Delectable.
Great Thai cuisine with wonderful flavor. Choose your spice level.
Been here several times. Everything we have ordered has tasted phenomenal. The service is incredibly quick! Absolutely a go to!
I tried the chicken pho and the basil fried rice, both very good. Excellent service and food!
I placed an order online. I was notified the food will be ready in 30 minutes. I drove for over 30 minutes to get to the restaurant only for them to tell me my order wasn’t sent to the kitchen and that I was supposed to wait another 20 minutes. I stepped outside and my wife went in only to overhear the lady being scolded by another worker that she had given our food out to someone else. The people called in to report that they had extra food in their order “my food”!! My wife tried to ask them about what she just overheard them talking about. The manager walked away and the lady at the counter with the short hair also ignored my wife when she asked them about what she just overheard them talking about. My wife also asked them if they gave whoever picked up the food a receipt with her details on it which was also ignored. When she finally acknowledged her she ignored the question and instead asked her if she wanted to just cancel the order in a rude way.
When we finally got our food. The wings were undercooked and the sauce looked like it was just thrown on top. These people gave our food away only to give us some rushed food.
No silverware too
They wasted over an hour of our time and didn’t even compensate us.
Horrible service !!!!
Love this place! We eat here way more often than we should because of how good it is. There's a great variety of dishes and the thai iced tea is amazing.
Lost for words to describe the amazing experience here. The staff was excellent and the quality of food was amazing. The spice levels were a perfect combination of flavorful with a kick. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.
The place is nice inside but the food doesn't even come close to thai house which is less than a mile away and who has been in business 30 some years. Also thai house portions and ingredients are way better
Small restaurant with huge portions! We ordered tofu spring rolls and Moo ping to start plus pork pad se ew and soft shell crab pad Thai! Everything was so hot and decadent when it came to our table. Will definitely be visiting again soon
I visited this place for the first time. We were party of 11. Service was great and fast. Food was very delicious. Loved their red curry as well as spicy eggplant with tofu. Highly recommend giving a try specially if you like spicy food.
My favorite Thai restaurant in the area. I come here literally every week. The Gluten free and vegan options are clearly marked.
Pleasant, good food 😋
Rice and Spice catered our daughter's wedding. 50 people. The food was amazing, especially the drunken noodles. People were saying they didn't know what they were eating but they loved it. The manager was very helpful in deciding how much food we needed. She checked in with us several times as the time drew near. The only logistical problem is that they did not deliver, but we worked that out with a relative's help.
The food here is wonderful. the server gave us some great recommendations. We will definitely be coming back.
Always friendly staff. Food is actually very good. I got their pad se ew and beef pho. The beef pho is one of the best that I've tried in Charlotte.
First time here. It was fantastic! I fully recommend for anyone looking for fresh Thai food.
My family and I ate here and unfortunately we were very disappointed. We ordered five different dishes to allow everyone to try something different. The angry cowboy was hot and delicious, but the vegetarian dishes and appetizers were warm at best. The server was preoccupied with chatting with coworkers and less with making sure our dining experience was a pleasant one. Maybe this was an off night, but great restaurants really don’t have off nights. Great restaurants are consistent because they are disciplined and committed to providing a great service. That is not the case here… This is NOT a great restaurant.
Amazing place and great food
I think I’ve literally tried everything on the menu and it was all outstanding.
The food is an addiction!!
Amazing food! Amazing service.
Very clean and neat.
Thai hot is just ground peppers. Tried two dishes both Thai hot - one fried rice and red curry. The fried rice Thai hot was average spicy like medium low - had to add some sauce to make it more flavorful. The red curry Thai spicy was literal fire. Other than inconsistency in heat level the red curry tasted like ground pepper only. Thai hot in red curry is not recommended at all in my point of view) - waiter recommended this to get good flavor of curry to me. Chicken was chewy. Waiter was nice to give extra rice for no charge since the curry was very hot. Soup was good. Overall service was below average.
Big portions, attentive staff, and a vegan menu as well! Pad Thai was awesome. :)
Rice and Spice is one of our absolute favorites! We've tried many dishes from their menu and have never been disappointed. The portions are generous, and the flavors are truly outstanding. The Tom Yum soup is a must-try - it's delightfully spicy and full of flavor! Another standout dish is the Choo Chee Salmon, which is simply out of this world! On Friday nights, it can get a little busy, but it's definitely worth the wait.
