User Reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at The Rice Barn!! I had the Pad-C-U which is my go to for thai food and it did not disappoint. The tofu was crispy and delicious, there were plenty of vegetables, and the noodles were perfect! I requested the dish medium as it it not typically made with any heat and it was the perfect level of spicyness for my liking. My friend and I had the spring rolls which were also delicious in addition to the Red Curry with tofu. The only reason they lost a star is due to the fact that they did not have the majority of their desserts the night we were there. We were eying the fried banana and ice cream but unfortunately they were out.

Nice variety in choice of sauce, not so much in the veggie dept. People have always been great and service prompt. Will try an unusual dish next time and change review if appropriate after

A cute little Thai spot in Needham, MA. Has a full liquor license. Entrees sat between 14-30 dollars, with most averaging around 18. I got the cashew chicken, which came with the pictured rice pyramid. Presentation was nice, food was delicious, and everyone enjoyed their meals. A bit dark in the bar area, but no complaints otherwise.

Came to pick up uber eats order but restaraunt closed by health dept for multiple violations. Avoid at all costs

The best experience. I came with a group of friends and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. It has a great family environment; I'd rate the experience 5 stars just because of the staff, but the food was also phenomenal (I love Thai food in general but the food was amazing). Highly highly recommend!!

Just WOW, the taste is right on the marks. The owner is also very pleasant to meet. It was our very first time there. The decor had a very nice personalized touch. The food was great and waiter & staff were very attentive. We really enjoyed our dinner there. If you haven't already, give it a try you won't be disappointed!

one hour and 20 minutes to deliver, I normally wouldn't complain but this is the second time we have ordered from here with about the same service. spent over $50 plus $8 dollar tip. When I called an hour after the order was given, the man on the phone asked the kitchen about my order, I heard the kitchen yell back I'll get it on after this order, this message to me was I'm "packing it up right now" Food was substandard, honestly will not give them a third chance.

Unfortunately, there is no option to give zero stars. This place should be shut down. We had a 6:30pm reservation, but when we arrived they had no record of it. That should have been our first clue. Since the place wasn’t busy we easily got seated anyway. Then we had to ask for menus and wait 15 minutes to get them, and it was almost impossible to find out server to put in our order. About forty five minutes after ordering, all of us with empty water glasses, the wine and appetizers have yet to arrive, we decide to find our server (who we have not seen since ordering). She tells us she will check on our order and....nothing...2 hours after sitting down at our table we got up and left...one of several tables of customers to do so. It was a complete disaster. The people working there should not be in the hospitality industry.
