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!

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.

Food was solid. I wish the crab rangoon sauce was much less watery.

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.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan options

Pretty decent Thai spot, wish the sauce for the crab Rangoon wasn’t so watered down. The other two dishes were pretty flavorful, wish there was a bit more spice! Not bad !
Exceptionally authentic and spicy Thai food. The flavors are incredible. They also have a little robot that brings you your drinks. The order is really simple for lunch. Get the Tom Kha Chicken and a Thai Milk Tea and you're all set. Don't overthink it

Sweet Rice has amazing dishes for great prices. I got the Basil Chicken and Brown Sugar Milk Tea. The chicken was full of savoriness and flavor, and the milk tea was decadent with the boba cooked to perfection.

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.

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.—Price (relative to peers): 4.4/5Food: 4.4/5Ambience: 4.7/5Overall Value: 4.5/5
