Pad see ew is so good! For my husband, he ordered thai coconut soup, he liked it but I didn’t. There’s a sourness to it that is just not for me.

As always, very tasty, inexpensive, and simply superb. Sorry for the photo, we couldn't take a picture right away, it was delicious, we ate it and then took a photo. Thank you!

Lord have mercy! The coconut soup noodle is the best coconut tom yum in town for this price! Can't beat it so join it! If you like Thai food and don't need a fancy decor this is the place. Everything is good everytime I've been here. My new fave!

First time here, quite yummy and filling. I had the Pad Thai with prawns and beef , as well as the gyoza. Both items were good, I had lvl 4 heat. You basically go in and pick your base, proteins then set your spice level. I’d stop in for lunch again for sure!

Amazing! We stopped for a quick late dinner at 9:00pm. And the food was made quick and on the table in 10 minutes! We ordered 3 dishes (laksa, pad thai, and mongolian w chicken in all) and the portions were generous and everything tasted great! There were four of us, but we weren't starving so we only ordered 3 and shared and it was the perfect amount and we were definitely full by the time we left. Our total came to only 60 including the tip. Very affordable for this area and for the great quality food. We will definitely be back!!

My new regular. Their food is so amazing. I was so under the weather the other day and had their laksa. Damn if their food can cure sickness they are doing amazing. Looks like their food is organic and they don’t use artificial flavourings.

Had lunch out with the family at Rice and Noodle. Supposed to be eating at Cora's but we were hungry and there was a long wait time to get seated. - Food was tasty - Portions were big, can be shared between 2 people - Price is affordable - Service was quick - Self service water and take out containers available Good Thai food if you're craving.
