Visited for dinner alone and sat at the bar. Cocktails were great, food was decent, but the service could have been a bit more welcoming.Servers were very nice, but as I finished the cocktail and appetizer I had ordered to start, the waitstaff started asking if I wanted the bill before I had the chance to review the menu for my entree order.Instead of feeling taken care of, it felt a bit like I was being rushed through my meal and to pay the bill so they could turn my spot over.

It’s a no for me. Not a great first impression and it was only Happy Hour. I’ve had better sushi from Giant. HH Marg left me wanting, just no flavor or anything or salt, and I had to ask twice for it. Good luck!

The food is good. The service could be much better. The attitude must be improved. I got to RICE to grab my order wanted to lock my scooter for getting the order from inside and some stuff from the store but the guy working there was trying to tell me aggressively to leave but when i told him that i order he changed his attitude brought out the food and never said sorry for the attitude. Never made it to the store.

The food here is sooooo good!! It’s at a great price point too. Reservations are helpful but we were able to walk in and only wait 5-10 minutes for our party of 5. I’m already thinking of when I can go back. Pad-see-ew was delicious!

This place has become incredibly hit or miss. You can order a menu item three time and get three completely different dishes when you pick up. I just ordered what was my favorite and got noodles in grey dish water. Not the first time this has happened. This used to be a fantastic neighborhood gem and it’s really slipped into a must-miss.

I recently dined at Rice, a Thai restaurant in DC, and it was a delightful experience. The papaya salad with shrimp was perfectly spicy, and the chicken cashew dish, though excellent, could be even better with the addition of pineapple. While the service was nothing out of the ordinary, the food made up for it. I’d definitely recommend Rice and look forward to revisiting on my next trip to DC.

I am mildly disappointed in the restaurant portion of this establishment. The food was really just OK. I didn't really know what to get, so I asked the server what his favorite dish was and ordered that, which was a chicken stir fry. The flavor was really lacking. It felt like it was just seasoned with sugar and soy sauce. I had high expectations since it was the server's favorite, but next time I will consult Yelp.

RICE. Came here when they first opened in late 2003. The best most different tasty Thai in the entire DMV and I've eaten at over 150+. Very quickly fell in love with this place. They take the most basic everyday dishes and blow them outta the water. Dumplings Kanon Jeeb, their salads and all of the favorites. Pumpkin dishes always incredible. I highly, highly recommend this DC landmark.

RICE - Been coming to this #1 Thai in the DMV since 2003 when they opened. Sak the visionary owner had a dream and totally put every detail in place from the location to decor to menu to staff and every intricate design motif. Pad Thai the best, any of the meats seafoods, vegetables, sides, sauces, spices and textures numero uno in my book and many would say the same thing. NUMBER ONE out of the over 150 Thai restaurants. EASILY. ❤️Vegetarian options: All very good and satisfying

I love the market downstairs, but the restaurant is a headache. Food came cold and staff acted inconvenienced to rectify. Server forgot parts of the order. Menu has many “vegan” options but they nearly all contain shrimp paste. (I’m not vegan but am allergic to shellfish and found this false advertising very alarming.) Difficult to work with staff to understand which dishes contain which ingredients. Very unpleasant experience for my whole party, sad to say.Vegetarian options: If you are vegan, STAY AWAY. Nearly all of their “vegan” dishes contain shrimp paste.Dietary restrictions: The management, staff, and menu are a disaster for those with diets/allergies/sensitivities.
