    Drunken Noodles
    Tiffany N.

    How have I never been here before?! This place is so great. The restaurant is clean and inviting, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I got take out so I can't speak for the service. The drunken noodles might be my new favorite in the area. The spice level is perfect, the meat is tender and the noodles the perfect chewiness. The sauce is delicious. You cannot beat the value at this place. Wow. Will definitely return!

    Fried Rice
    Pranav P.

    Ordered through grubby, found out ordering on the website would've saved me 10% based on fees which is eh, food was fire really liked the panang curry, I don't usually finish the rice with panang curries but I actually did this time. Fried rice was very tasty as well

    Thai Firecracker Shrimp (New item)
    Christy N.

    I came here for my lunch break, with high hopes due to the rating. When I walked in it was completely empty. I would like to explain my experience within the first minute of me stepping in. Me: One for here Lady in hoodie: *saying loudly across the restaurant* picking up? Me: No one for here Lady: For here? how many people Me: One. Throughout the interaction, she came off rude and annoyed so it was already distasteful. As I sat down, i noticed that the area itself is clean. Another lady in a hat served me and she was really sweet. As I was ordering, I asked if they had wifi (because on settings it says "9 PadThai wifi" and as she was going to respond, the lady in the hoodie interject from across the restaurant saying no. I did not appreciate the attitude as I am just asking a question, the service was 50/50, one lady was nice, the other was completely rude. It does not help that I saw the same lady in a hoodie greet some customers warmly and other ice cold. I ordered the firecracker shrimp as an appetizer and came with a complementary fried roll. Both items were average, nothing special. I was imagining something like bang bang shrimp based off of the name and description. The shrimp itself was good, very fresh and soft. I was wowed by the pad thai. Very delicious and flavorful, I asked for thai spicy so there was a small kick, but enjoyable to eat. Overall the food was 50/50, the service was 50/50, I do not think I will be coming back solely because of that interaction. This place is always having people picking up so maybe take out is the way to go for this location.

    MUSHROOM in the Pad Thai
    Sarah M.

    This is our go-to Thai place for quick pickup near home. I love their drunken noodles and the red curry always hits. We always pickup, so I've never dined in, but I have never seen it crowded. Despite being relatively consistent, there is a girl who works here, whenever we order the pad thai without mushrooms she says, "they don't put mushrooms in it." Without fail, when we get home, it has mushrooms. Happened for easily the 5th time tonight so I felt compelled to write this review and leave this photo. Please. When someone says they don't want something specific in it, write it down, even if you think it's not in the dish to begin with. People have allergies and sometimes they're serious enough that they can't eat the dish at all, even after removing the ingredient in question.

    It's been a while so we decided to try this evening. We asked for the pad prik king with a little spice. It was good but too spicey. We couldn't eat it. It was replaced with shrimp with mixed vegetables. Food was very good. I would return only earlier in the evening.

    This place is consistently one of the best thai places I've been to and definitely the most delicious Thai restaurant in the area. The service is phenomenal and the flavors are unparallel. Solidly 5/5.

    What an incredible find. We ate at a good Thai restaurant the previous day and our cousins invited us to try 9 Pad Thai. Needless to say we were blown away by their unique take on Thai Cuisine. Top notch were the Crispy Pad Thai, Crispy Duck and Soft shell crab. All dishes were 3 star with the exception of the calamari which was more crust and little calamari. The service was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was relaxed and simple The also served both Singha and Chang Beer, which paired well with the Thai spices.

    Chicken Pad Thai...odd taste.
    Monica W.

    Ordered take-away on this hot, lazy Sunday. Chicken Pad Thai was good but seemed to have odd taste and the Kanom Jeep were SUPER DRY, even with the sauce. Needless to say they went the way of the TRASH. Will we order again...NOT

    Pad Thai
    Jasmine K.

    Favorite pad Thai place. I won't say too much because I've already given a review. FOOD- lunch shrimp pad Thai $12 - 4.8/5. Was amazing, shrimp was a little dry this time but still, great. SERVICE- 6/5 . Was great. Took care of us beyond expectations. Plenty of seats. Lovely place. Definitely would recommend trying this place out.

    Beef drunken noodle $12.95 dinner!
    Kathy C.

    We came on a saturday for lunch. We ordered appetizers first, got the curry puffs and tom yum shrimp soup. The soup was tasty and it came with 3 pieces of shrimp although it was mispriced on the menu. So we ended up being charged $2 more than the stated menu price. Curry puff had good flavor but unfortunately it was very cold in the center so we took this home to reheat later. For the main entrees, they charge dinner prices on the weekends but the prices were good. We got beef drunken noodle ($12.95) and chicken pad thai ($12.95). Both were delicious and satisfying. Would definitely visit again for the noodle dishes!

    They provide a picture menu!
    Yierou M.

    One of few places that have Yen Ta Fo in the menu! We came here specifically to order this pink noodle soup. One of the most popular street foods in Thailand yet seldom found in Thai restaurants. Another bonus is their picture menu! For those not familiar with Thai food or just prefer visuals...love this idea! We ordered yen ta fo (of course), chicken pad Thai, spring rolls and mango sticky rice to go. Service was great, fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and vibrant! Food came out quickly, everything looked and tasted fresh and flavorful. Yen ta fo was just as I remembered it from childhood....sweet and tart at the same time. Definitely try this place out, venture out and order a not so common dish or stick with the usual...I'm sure it will all be delicious!

Located Inside A Shopping Center With Plenty Of Free Parking, Which Makes It Super Convenient. The Restaurant Is So Colorful, Clean, & Beautifully Decorated. It Has A Bright, Welcoming Feel The Moment You Walk In. LEMON WATER Refreshing & Light, A Simple Touch But Always Appreciated. BIKINI SHRIMP KABOB This Dish Is Everything. It's A Fresh Salad With Mixed Greens, Craisins, Tomatoes, & Cucumbers Served With Grilled Pineapples And Shrimp, Plus A Side Of Their Spicy Green Sauce. The Flavor Combination Is Incredible. Sweet From The Pineapple, Tangy From The Craisins, Fresh From The Veggies, And That Spicy Green Sauce Brings The Heat. It's Super Refreshing Yet Packed With Flavor. I Truly Love This Dish Even Though It's Definitely On The Spicier Side. GRILLED SALMON & THAI FRIED RICE The Thai Fried Rice Is Soft, Extremely Flavorful, And Rich In Aroma. It Has Eggs, Onions, Scallions, Basil, & Tomatoes & Every Bite Is Seasoned So Well. Plus A Lime Slice. Paired With The Perfectly Charred Grilled Salmon, It's A Super Filling & Satisfying Meal. I Always Add Chili Oil For An Extra Kick Of Spice. The Customer Service Feels Like A Family Team. Everyone Is So Sweet, Welcoming, & Helpful. It's The Kind Of Place Where You Feel Comfortable & Taken Care Of. All Rice Thai Is One Of Those Reliable, Flavor-Packed Spots That Never Disappoints. Fresh Ingredients, Bold Flavors, & Warm Service. I'll Definitely Keep Coming Back.

That's how I spend many of my days off as a restaurant owner myself. My experience started off on the wrong foot when I was directed to a very small table for one. I politely explained several times that I typically order a substantial amount of food and would need more space. I was told the larger tables were reserved and that tables could be pushed together later if needed. As the meal progressed, a longtime friend of mine who works there came out to say hello. Shortly afterward, tables were combined, apologies were offered, and the experience improved significantly. What left me puzzled was that many of the larger "reserved" tables remained empty throughout my visit. By the time I left around 5:00 PM, they still had not been used. The food was mixed. I came specifically for the Khao Mun Gai, one of Thailand's most iconic dishes. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming. The chicken was average, the rice was decent, and the accompanying soup lacked depth and flavor. On the positive side, the Crackin' Belly was excellent--crispy, flavorful, and well executed. The Pad Thai Siam Shrimp was solid, and while the Tom Sab soup had good flavor, it was a bit too spicy for my preference. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The space is modern, clean, bright, and thoughtfully designed. Easily one of the nicer Thai restaurant interiors in Northern Virginia. One additional detail stood out. My friend joined me briefly for a toast. I ordered a double bourbon, and he ordered a shot. All three shots appeared on my bill, totaling $45. While not a major issue, it felt like a missed opportunity for hospitality given the circumstances. In the end, my bill was approximately $163 for a solo meal. My biggest takeaway wasn't the food--it was the inconsistency in hospitality. The experience improved dramatically after I was recognized, and every guest should feel welcomed and valued from the moment they walk through the door, regardless of appearance or assumptions about what they may spend. The restaurant has a talented kitchen, a beautiful dining room, and plenty of potential. With more consistent hospitality, this could easily become a destination Thai restaurant.

    I met a friend for lunch at Thai Cafe on a Saturday. Parking near the restaurant that is part of…read morethe Springfield Mall is frankly a bit challenging. With a little persistence and a short walk, I found a spot. Walking in to the restaurant, there is a small greeting counter. No one was there and so we walked to the back. You don't see the tables when walking into the place, I suspect the kitchen is along side the hallway leading to the tables. The ambiance is friendly, casual with the tables and booths well spaced to provide privacy. The restaurant was relatively empty during our meal and the noise level was comfortable, allowing us to have conversation easily. Thai food is one of my two favorite and I am always looking for a new place to be inspired. I put Thai Cafe on my list of places that I'll return to. I started my meal with Tom Yum Seafood soup. The flavor was really excellent. Two minor things for me: I like soup warm and not hot. For me, the temp was perfect but for other people who like their soup really hot, it probably wasn't hot enough. The other issue is 'how spicy does this restaurant prepare their food?' The soup was 1 pepper, which was a bit milder than I prefer, but accurate. I added a bit more spice. I chose the vegetarian Kapow Pak. The dish is prepared in a brown sauce which frankly isn't my favorite. But it was really good. The veges were fresh, crisp and crunchy, and the tofu was wonderfully lightly fried. The dish is described as medium spicy, reasonably accurate. My friend chose the Pad Woon Sean with chicken. I didn't try it but he said it was a 10/10. The staff were friendly, helpful, and helped me select my dish. This is a family business that's been open for about 30 years. The servers were totally wonderful. I will certainly be back.

My friend who isn't typically a fan of thai tea really liked Mae Ornnit's version, because it wasn't that sweet. We also liked the strawberry smoothie! Some of our food favorites were the moo ping with sticky rice as an appetizer. The pork marinade was really good! The crispy chicken with green curry was also delicious. The chicken had a great crisp, and it wasn't an overwhelming amount of green curry. The volcano tom yum dish using Mama instant noodles was a visually stunning dish. It was also tasty, served with a lot of seafood. The Mama cup was repurposed to hold veggies. I kind of wished there were more seasoning or some sauce with the veggies because they were a bit dry, but we mixed it in with the noodles, so no biggie. We devoured the mango sticky rice, that was about $9. We should've ordered 2 of those to share amongst us 4. The mango was perfectly ripe and delicious!!!

Pineapple fried rice is one of my favorites and wow, they do it different in an awesome way here!!! The shrimp comes in a sauce on the side in a cup. It's likely in person it all comes together, but when I mixed it and tried, wow it was so delicious!!! The Ban Guan (rice crepes with ground chicken and mushrooms and onions) was the bomb with its sauce. And the kanom jeeb!!!!

I know the Ban Guan was the only Laos dish I ordered but I will be back again to try more! And I also can't wait to try the curry puffs. This is definitely my new go-to for Thai and Laotian food.

Probably some of the best Phad Thai I've ever had! The Phad Thai came with a complimentary egg roll that was accompanied by fresh greens with a delightful light ginger dressing. Normally it seems chefs go overboard with ginger, but here's an example of using just the right amount. The Thai Iced Coffee came in a generous portion, but had an odd bitter flavor. The great Phad Thai is what motivates me to come back. If it wasn't for the Phad Thai, this review would have been three stars.

I came here with a friend for lunch on a Thursday. I was relieved to see several patrons already there especially since this location feels more like an unassuming, off the beaten path, dilapidated, truck stop, hole in the wall. I ordered the Pad Thai lunch combo with the side salad and boy was the dressing on the salad sensational. It was sophisticatedly sweet and packed full of umami. I think I could eat that all day. When the Pad Thai arrived, I was also pleasantly surprised with the taste; however, two things struck me as very odd -- the thin noodles and white color! It did not have the familiar reddish look of tamarind which I thought was essential for Pad Thai. Regardless, it was delicious and I ate everything. Not a single morsel of food was left. If i weren't eating with polite company, I would have probably slurped the remaining dressing from the salad bowl. I'm definitely coming back and it shouldn't be difficult because the prices seem fairly inexpensive.

The seating area is small and can be crowded during the lunch rush but they do have a very active carry out business as well. The food is always fresh and comes out quickly. Some favorites are the ocean fries, pad Thai, garlic obsession, basil fried rice, and spicy beef salad. We honestly have not had a bad dish here and the staff are very friendly and welcoming!

    5/5 Stars - Treat-to-Self! I decided to skip the frantic…read morebrunch crowds and treat myself to a solo date at Rice & Spice Thai Cuisine for Mother's Day, and honestly? It was the best decision I've made all month. There is something about a woman-owned gem that just hits the spot--the attention to detail, the welcoming energy, and of course, the incredible food. The moment you walk in, the aesthetic sets the mood. The teal wood-paneled walls paired with those gorgeous woven basket pendant lights draped in cherry blossoms? Absolute magic. It's chic, cozy, and felt like a little escape. I went all out on the menu and wasn't disappointed: * Chive Dumplings: These were the star of the show. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with a savory dipping sauce that I could have finished with a spoon. * Vegetable Soup: Light, clear, and packed with fresh, vibrant veggies. It was the perfect "reset" bowl. * Crab Fried Rice: They did not skimp on the crab! It was fresh, fluffy, and paired perfectly with a cold, crisp Singha beer. Whether you're celebrating a holiday or just need to romanticize your life with some top-tier Thai food, this is the place. The service was lovely, the Mother's Day special menu was a thoughtful touch, and the atmosphere is 10/10. Chef's kiss. I'll definitely be back!

    Always 5 stars. The food is always fresh. I've recently changed my new usual order to tofu and…read moreveggies and love it! Service is always top notch. Immediate greeted and brought menus.
