We are big fans of this place! Let's start with the pho... it's the best in town... and we go to a lot of places. Also, take the spice level seriously on the curry. It is no joke. But delicious. We also had the special of the day - egg-wrapped pad thia. This was excellent. I did a 2/5 spice and would maybe recommend a 3. read more

Rice & Spicy - Chicken Pho - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Ok, I live in this area and I can say that Pho Saigon has been dethroned in regards to pho! The pho at Rice and Spicy was really good! It had a lot of flavor. I had the pho combination which had brisket, meatballs and flank. The only thing that I didn't like which just not specific to Rice and Spicy is shrinkflation. The amount of noodles in the soup is definitely less than a few years ago for any restaurant. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great Thai spot with a really inviting atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, though prices were a tad on the higher side for what you get. Overall, a solid place to enjoy a nice meal-I'd definitely come back. read more

Pineapple fried rice all I have to say with a 3 not spice not to band just amazing anddd don't forget the beef noodles!! Yum!!

We accidentally ended up here all the way from the southside of San Antonio and let me tell you I am so sad this place is so far away from home! Being 9 months pregnant I can't eat raw fish so I have to stick to shrimp tempura rolls and this was the BEST shrimp tempura roll I've had since I've been pregnant! It was perfectly crunchy and fresh and the sauce was perfect. I also got the red curry spicy level 4 and it was sooo tasty and flavorful! I would definitely get a 3 next time though because it is very spicy so be careful and play your spice level safe. My friend ordered the basil sauce fried rice which was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor as well. I did not have one bad thing to say about the food. Definitely give this place a try and if you live close by don't take it for granted because I'd be here every week if it wasn't so far away. read more

Food was amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The quality and taste were excellent, and the entire meal was thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered Pad Thai and it was the worst I have ever had in my life. Tasted like Ragu Spaghetti. Nope. Nope. Nope. Also, the prices for the food are ridiculously high! read more

Stopped in on a Wednesday night to dine in. There was one other party inside. Several delivery app drivers came in so I think this is more of a takeout place although they do have tables and servers. The server seemed to have trouble understanding us but we worked through it. We got chicken as a sampler but it was undercooked in my opinion so I did not eat it. I requested the basil rice with no onions but it came with a lot of onions. After picking them all out it was a really tasty dish. The other entree was also good. You can choose your spice level and I think that really makes a difference. If you're visiting I would just double check any modifications on the food. The flavor is there so I'm hoping it was just an off night. The server was very attentive. read more

I was with a group of Master Naturalists out at Government Canyon State Natural Area. A decision was made to eat lunch on the way home. The group decided on Thai food at this venue. I ordered my usual Thai goto, pad woonsen. It was very good. I had it with the crispy pork belly and a heat level of three. It was a huge portion, and I ended up bringing half of it home. It was just as good reheated later that day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice place. I'll be back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ordered take out on New Year's Eve. Food did not take long to come out and staff were very kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating and they had a few tvs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now the reason I'm giving 3/5 stars is because the food tasted wayy too sweet, they have a lunch menu they won't honor, and portion sizing is not worth the $$$$$ I asked for a lunch menu choice and she said ok and then they told me they could not honor it because it was a holiday but.. it wasn't. The combo pho was way too sweet. 100% sure they used way too much MSG and the portion was VERY small. Pad thai was good BUT again, portion was small. The Mango sticky rice was good and the only good portioned item of the meal. read more

Large portions and very very flavorful. Beautiful wife and I shared a triple delight the other day and it was just enough for the two of us.

I am glad we tried this restaurant and it is really worth it! The food was tasty, first bite is already addicting. The parking could be tricky since they have limited lot and it is shared with other shops. read more

This is my second time trying this business. The first time I ordered chicken fried rice, shrimp fried rice, pho, spring rolls and Thai tea. Both of the fried rice were good, seasoned well, fresh & hot as expected. The spring rolls weren't my cup of tea. They were very mushy on the inside. The Thai tea was a little too sweet for me & it had a lot of tea grains at the bottom. But the PHO.. the pho is phenomenal!! It is literally the best pho I've ever had! The flavor is SO SO good! The toppings the meat, the broth!! All of it makes up for the Thai tea and spring rolls, thus the reason that I've already been back & will continue to visit! read more

really appreciated that they were able to provide a vegan option for many of the menu items! [[HIGHLIGHT]]it wasn't the nicest/fanciest place inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but the staff were kind and accommodating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]also, loved that finals game 1 was on haha. go spurs go!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Crab Rangoons, delish! I ordered the Pad Woo sient (couldn't remember spelling), and it was very tasty. I asked for the heat level to be 2 but closer to 3 and my mouth was on fire! Grabbed a lime and I was good. Very tasty. My hunny enjoyed Pad Kee Mow and he said it was decent. Noodles felt a bit under cooked. If back on this side of town I would come back. read more

even years later this is the only Thai restaurant I will ever go to around town. If you want authenticity, outstanding customer service, and amazing taste then you need to frequent Rice & Spicy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Christmas season makes it more wonderful because they decorated inside and have Christmas music going.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The family that owns this wonderful restaurant treats you like one of their own and even remembers their guest orders. I'm very pleased to see them gain popularity and new faces always dining in whenever u get a chance to visit. read more

Ordered Pad Thai chicken and some egg rolls. Something you have to know is what spicy level to order. System is 1-5. I've had level 3 and that's the highest I can go without running the great flavors of the dish. This time I tried level 2 and it had a great balance of spice and savoriness. Egg rolls were cooked to perfection and their dipping sauce was out of this world. I'm just glad I found this place as there aren't to many Asian places this far out that knows how to execute. Thanks once staff and cook keep up the great work. Also, this was a take out order so everything was till got and fresh. read more

I've driven by this place many times on the way to my in-laws house and had wanted to check it out. After running a few errands, I figured I would try them out for lunch. Their lunch specials had me intrigued. I called to place my order, and spoke with a friendly woman. She advised my door would be ready in about 20 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There wasn't much to the inside of the restaurant, and it seemed a little small but it didn't really matter as I was taking my food to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ultimately, I decided on the lunch combo with Panang chicken curry and beef and broccoli. I opted for fried rice and an egg roll. I tried the curry first. I wish I had requested some hot oil before I left, but it wasn't needed. The curry was very creamy and had the perfect amount of spice. The beef and broccoli wasn't as good as the curry, but was still solid. The carrots and broccoli were tender but not mushy. The rice was a nice complement to the two entrees. Lastly, the egg roll was top notch. I was pleasantly surprised by this place and will definitely return in the future. read more

What caught my eye, was the word spicy in this establishment's name : D . I love spicy and combine that with Thai= double yum! We walked in, received a friendly greeting, and was directed to sit anywhere we liked. Menu was large and print was tiny, unfortunately I did not bring my glasses, but our server said that new menus were being made with a larger print. Besides Thai food, they also serve Pho and Sushi, a little odd, but we stuck with Thai because that's what we were craving. We ordered : Thai crispy spring rolls- came with 2 pieces. Small, but packed with flavor. Combo of shrimp and pork and came with side of greens and dipping sauce. Since I love spicy, I asked for a side of sambal/chili paste and our server brought it to the table as well as chili oil. Pad Thai with pork medium spicy- very good. Could have been a little spicier for me, but I just added more sambal lol. Server asked us if peanuts were ok on the dish- nice to ask, we have no peanut allergies Red curry with chicken medium spicy- note the curry was def not red in color, but looking at their menu pics it was red curry. Plenty of chicken and a few veggies, a little on the sweet side, but great flavor. I just added sambal. We poured it over rice. Good food, good service- checked on us frequently and our water glasses were refilled constantly without having to ask. We would totally come back! read more

Rice & Spicy - Pork pad thai and chicken broth soup lunch special - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Food was so great! I got the pad Thai and I was very pleased to find another great Asian fusion! So yummy!

Came in for lunch to find a mildly busy location. TV's adorn the walls showing food, cooking, and life in places like Bangkok. Music is light and airy piano. Lighting is fine. Best part was a sign that basically says "if you get your food too hot and are a wuss, we won't refund you. Choose wisely." Wife started with Chinese egg rolls. They came out hot and crispy and the chile sauce with them was sweet and lightly spicy. Good. Her entree was the Rock and Roll shrimp tempura roll. Sweet from the eel sauce and fresh tasting. I had the Tom Yum Goong with chicken (traditional is with shrimp) and green curry with chicken. Both heat level 4 (out of 5). Heat level of the soup is similar to what I had in Thailand. Curry was a little more mild but delicious nonetheless. My only complaint about the curry was that they omitted Thai eggplant. Came with peas, bamboo shoots, and red bell pepper. Son had the stir fry noodles for kids. It was very garlic heavy. If your kid doesn't like garlic, stay away. I loved it. Dessert was sticky rice and mango in coconut milk. Traditional and delicious. Mango was ripe and fresh and the sticky rice had just the right amount of sweet. Overall, this is a very good place to eat if you want Asian food. All good and drinks were fantastic and we will be back. read more

I don't know if it's me but I love going to the smaller "hole in a wall" type restaurants because I always expect to food to be great! Rice & Spicy did not disappoint! Where to begin... the Edamame was fresh! Salted perfectly. Spring rolls were okay but I'm more a fresh spring roll guy. We went with the fried rolls for the kids. Now for the entrees. The Massaman Beef Curry may have been the best Thai dish I've had. Great flavors, spicy and the curry jumps off the plate. The Pad Thai was also great. Noddles had the right amount of texture and again, flavored well. If you're looking for Thai in the Alamo Ranch area or willing to travel.. this is the place! Ask for Crystal.. Great Server! read more

Don't get the sushi, otherwise most everything else is great. I love the salt and pepper seafood, any of them are good. My family loves the basil stir fry. The wings are also really good. The Kao mun gai thod is really good as well but sometimes is a little dry. The ginger rice that comes with it is definitely better than the regular steamed rice. The broth they serve with the food is amazing. The fried rice is bland and not worth the extra charge. read more

Rice & Spicy - P4. Pho Chicken - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This restaurant just opened up last week and we've been super excited to try it. I have to admit, I was hesitant at first because they have Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese all in one restaurant. And if you're used to authentic restaurants, you know what I mean. Nonetheless, my fiancé convinced me to give this small business a try and boy... it was delicious! We called the order over the phone and they sounded super nice. We got the Green Curry with beef, Pad Thai with Crispy Pork Belly, Calamari, and 2 Thai Teas. The curry had a great amount of flavor and spice (we asked for level 4 out of 5). Pad Thai was also great. The calamari was just okay and not bad. Thai teas were on the sweeter side but very good compared to Thai teas at other places. Overall, I think it's a great restaurant for Thai food. Haven't tried other items on their menu but I'm excited to read more
