A hidden gem. Best thai I’ve had in a long time and I’m from NYCVegetarian options: ask them to sub tofu for anything. Tofu is seasoned perfectly and is a good texture.

The restaurant has changed locations, but do not let this deter you. If you are looking for great Thai in Utica, this is the location. My wife makes great Panang Shrimp Curry. This little gem of a restaurant prepares it just as good.Great prices, outstanding service, large selection of premium Thai meals, how could you go wrong.

Food is delicious and the restaurant has the potential to do so much better given limited halal Thai options, but was served cold like it was reheated. Even when I asked if it could be warmed was told that’s it’s made fresh. I think they need to work towards service and providing freshly made food that is hot for clients dining inDietary restrictions: Halal

Foods amazing. They used to be whole fish. It was delicious. I am picky when it comes to my chicken wings and I gotta say their wings are on point. The right amount of crispy and not too crispy and cooked just right. They do offer sushi as well. Definitely would recommend if you’re trying out new places.

Note: they ARE OPEN Sundays! I've been struggling with finding truly good food lately, but Black Rice hits the mark! I cannot speak to the sushi side of things, but the Thai food is LEGIT. We asked for spicy and they delivered. The drunken noodles with beef? Perfectly cooked. Perfectly seasoned. The beef has been properly stir fried! Tender and caramelized. The bad kra pao chicken is delightful, slightly sweet ground chicken with onions, pepper, basil, and a fried egg as well as rice. The garlic and black pepper chicken is just plain satisfying. Really good stir fry sauce. Just the right balance of flavors. My dining partner and I are so happy right now.The sign says order out only, but that's not actually true! You can dine-in. If you are looking for good, authentic, properly cooked food, this is the place in Utica!

I can't comment on the food because I never went in. It took me down in what had to be the worst part of Utica. I did not feel safe at all and it was in broad daylight! I went past the restaurant twice before I could understand where it was. It looks like a normal house that has a gate across the drive and it tells you to enter through the back. I never slowed down long enough to look. There was no way I was going to go in there just for some pad Thai.

After spending some months in Thailand a few years back, I really missed my host mom's cooking when I came back to the US. This is the only place I've found satisfies the craving. In my opinion this is the best and most authentic Thai food you'll find in the northeast, aside from NYC maybe. Pad Kra Pao and Thai fried rice is my go to!
The food is really good. I had California Roll and Chicken Drunken Noodles. Taste wise, both were delicious. California roll came with soft ginger slice and mustard seed paste that enhanced the flavor.
