I am incredibly impressed with the food and service at Ricepot!! The prices are outstanding for lunch specials and it comes with a choice of tom yum soup with shrimp, coconut soup with chicken, chicken wings, or satay chicken. For an additional $3 you can also add a Thai iced tea or Thai iced coffee. The pad see ew with beef is truly delicious, and I love the fact that the noodles are perfectly cooked and not mushy and stuck together. The beef is tender and full of flavor. The coconut soup has the perfect flavor with an excellent balance of lemongrass and galangal. read more

We were on our way to another restaurant when we passed by Ricepot and decided to give it a try instead. The place is small and cute, I love the little bird plates. The service was also great, our server was kind and accommodating. We ordered the crispy tofu and crispy calamari as appetizers. I loved the texture of the crispy tofu but the flavor and accompanying dipping sauce did not stand out to me. The calamari was cooked very well, not chewy at all and very crispy! I would highly recommend getting the crispy calamari. For entrees, we ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and the Ricepot pad thai. The drunken noodles were so good, it had the perfect amount of sauce and spice! Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the Ricepot pad Thai :( The shrimp were so tiny compared to what was pictured on the wall, very salty, and not cleaned well. The noodles were the perfect texture but also on the saltier side. The pork was a bit dry but still pretty good! I would come back if I was feeling for Thai food and in the area but I would not order the tofu or the pad thai again :( read more

Extremely rude and unprofessional owner. I did not receive my order. The owner refused to serve me after I called to follow up on a complaint about the poor customer service I experienced the previous day. When I asked why no one had returned my call, she responded, "Why should I call you back?" She then told me that I "always have a problem," said I should "go somewhere else," and told me not to come back. I have been a loyal customer for over a year and have ordered from this restaurant consistently. During that time, I've experienced multiple issues, including receiving undercooked salmon, spoiled Thai tea, and delivery orders being thrown on the ground instead of handed to me as requested in my delivery instructions. On one occasion, the food spilled because it was thrown on the floor rather than being handed to me as the delivery person was still holding the elevator open. After my most recent poor experience, I called to follow up because no one had returned my previous complaint the day before and there was an issue today with my order being undelivered. Instead of addressing my concerns, the owner responded, "Why should I call you back?" She then told me I "always have a problem," said I should "go somewhere else," and told me not to come back. I have ordered many times in person as well as through Grubhub and Uber Eats, and each time I have spent over $30 on my orders. I have even brought friends to this restaurant because I genuinely enjoyed the food, despite the lack of good customer service. As a Black customer, I left feeling humiliated and treated with hostility. I wasn't looking for an argument I simply wanted my concerns addressed after being a loyal customer for over a year. Instead, I was met with disrespect and refused service. This was one of the most unprofessional customer service experiences I've ever had, and I will never order from this restaurant again. I also asked the young girl yesterday have she received complaints from others based on deliveries being canceled consistently due to delivery service being listed as still available for delivery after 9pm she stated yes so I know I'm not the only one with an issue here. But I can ensure you the owner have not spoken to others like this because there would be more negative reviews. read more

I was honestly quite surprised by this place given the location. The portions were big and I was surprised to find legitimate Thai food at the neighborhood we were at. The place isn't exactly cheap but I was satisfied with what I got. Service speed was okay but we also went at probably one of the few times it was full house. We were surrounded by people I guess who were on dates or just couples eating dinner. read more

Quick and easy bite. Pad Thai was really delicious. Service was friendly, seating was very comfortable and spacious.

I came here for lunch with my family. They have a good lunch deal for $13 (appetizer or soup and entrée). I ordered the chicken satay appetizer and the khao soi entrée (egg noodles in curry broth and chicken). The portions were large even for the lunch deal. The chicken satay was a bit dry but the satay sauce was tasty. The khao soi was delicious. The curry broth was rich but I wish they had the crispy noodles on top. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, it was a solid Thai place and the lunch deal was very affordable. read more

A friend of mine suggested this place for dinner. I haven't had Thai food in a while so I decided to give it a try. It's a small/cozy restaurant with a few two seater tables. We got Thai iced teas--I'll be honest, I've had better. We decided to share the pad Thai and the pork belly fried rice. The food was really good, the pork belly was cooked to perfection. The service was quick. We didn't have to wait long for the meal. I would definitely try some other dishes. read more

Got recommended to try Ricepot's Pad Thai with pork belly from the cashier, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The pork belly was tender with a perfect balance of crisp and delightful tangy texture, and the Pad Thai itself was packed with flavor -- sweet, not overly tender but has a little smoky, and not overly greasy like some places tend to serve it. The portion size was generous and plated beautifully. You can tell they care about both presentation and quality here. It's a cozy little spot in Bensonhurst right off the 20th Ave train stop, and while it's casual, the flavors are anything but basic. Definitely feels like a hidden gem if you're looking for a modern approach for good Thai food. Service was friendly, and everything came out quickly. The menu has a lot of variety too -- from noodles to curry to house specialties -- so I'll definitely be back to explore more. If you're in the area and craving Thai, Ricepot is a no-brainer. read more

Quick service and delicious food! I had a lovely time and enjoyed the noodles a lot :)

I ordered take out here and tried the papaya salad, drunken noodles, and green curry. Total was about $50. Portion size for the curry was good and the green curry was very delicious. The green curry came with jasmine rice and has the perfect amount of spice and texture was creamy. The salad was okay but they put a chunk of cabbage in there. Why did they do that? It's a papaya salad not cabbage salad. The drunken noodles were burnt and too salty. Very disappointed at the quality of food I received. read more

Such a great value meal when you come for their lunch specials. It's a nice Thai place in south bk that offers delicious yet affordable Thai dishes. They don't skimp out on flavor or portion. I would say the chicken wings you can skip, but the satay was decent. Their main dishes are the best as both the Tom yum noodle soup and Khao Soi were delicious. read more

BLUF: An over-emphasis on salty and sweet flavors. Our first visit to Rice Pot Cookhouse could have been better. We ordered from the lunch special menu, which offers one appetizer and one entrée for $12 ($13.07 with tax): - Pad See Ew, with chicken: There was so much salt and sugar in this one dish that we stopped eating it after a few bites. - Khao Soi, with chicken: Over-salted, good flavors overall, could use green vegetables (pickled doesn't count) to temper the flavors. Our dish came with slices of slightly overcooked white meat instead of the typical chicken leg, and had ramen noodles instead of egg noodles. - Chicken Skewers: The meat was soft and tender, and the peanut sauce was good. - Edamame: Typical. Service was pleasant. They checked on us and refilled our water. There is a small unisex bathroom in the basement, down a steep flight of stairs. Suggested tips are based on post-tax subtotals and start at 18%. read more

The place is clean and the service excellent. The food was cooked to perfection. Prices are fair. I recommend them.

Thai restaurant in Bensonhurst which is decent and affordable. The service is quick and efficient. A causal restaurant which you can enjoy reasonable food and price. The decoration is simple and display food photos on the wall so that you know what to expect. We ordered drunken noodles which is a bit salty for my liking. Classic Phad Thai is pretty good. Next time will try pork belly basket. read more

Finally a Thai food restaurant in the neighborhood. I wanted to dine in but ended up getting takeout. Ordered the Ricepot pad thai and drunken noodles with chicken, and a Thai iced tea. I would say, this place is definitely not authentic Thai food. The flavors are there, but you can just tell it's not authentic Thai flavor, if that makes sense. The food is good though and prices are affordable. For the price though, the portions are HUGE. I couldn't finish my drunken noodles and had to split it into two meals. read more

Ordered from Grubhub for the lunch special ($12). I got the spicy chicken basil rice. It was sweet with a hint of spicy. The chicken satay was good. It wasn't too dried. I'm happy with the generous portion. I would definitely order from here again. The Bangkok drink was decent. It was a little too sweet for me. read more

Ricepot Thai Cookhouse - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My best friend and I came here for Thai food on a Sunday afternoon - the place itself is fairly small but we only waited about 10-15 mins for a table for five. They have a photo menu and a regular menu which I appreciated. A lot of the food items looked so good. We decided to start with the Thai Tea - which was actually really good. It was also much larger in size than I expected. Then we decided to get the chicken satay - this comes with either four pieces or ten pieces; also very tasty but definitely not the most tender chicken satay that I've had. For the main course I decided to get the traditional pad thai and I have to say the portion size was huge (much bigger than I expected) but the taste fell short for me. It was one of the pad thai recipes where it was too sour for my liking (it seemed like they put too much tomato flavoring in it) which I am not a fan of at all. I wished I got the pad see ew instead which my friends got and it looked really good. Overall - not the biggest fan of this place but I will say the portion sizes are pretty good. Definitely willing to give this place another try in the future. read more

Ricepot Thai Cookhouse is a solid and authentic Thai restaurant in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, and the place is honestly such a gem. The interior is clean and minimalistic, and their lunch sets, in particular, seamlessly marry flavor, variety, and affordability. $12 for an appetizer or soup and one entree-- now that's a steal! * Pork Belly Basket Perfectly crispy streetfood style pork belly, though some pieces were pure fat. The real magic, however, lies in the sauce: a tantalizing concoction of Thai herbs and spices. * Chicken Satay Tender, marinated chicken strips served with a side of creamy peanut sauce. Sadly, both the chicken and the sauce lacked flavor, and personally, we felt the chicken strips were too big. * Chicken Wings Crispy and golden brown on the outside, yet juicy and tender on the inside. Again, lacking flavor, but the side of Thai sweet chili sauce more than made up for it. * Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice I seldom order fried rice at restaurants, since I can easily make it at home, but the word 'spicy' caught my eye. This could've been a bit spicier, but it was packed with plump shrimp, vibrant vegetables, and doused in zesty lime juice, delivering a satisfying explosion of flavors with every bite. * Pad See Ew (Chicken) A classic Thai noodle dish, boasting a delectable combination of stir-fried wide rice noodles, soy sauce, tender chicken slices, and crisp Chinese broccoli. This was both comforting and familiar, with a very generous portion of protein. read more

Mmhmm. This spot is cute, clean, and delicious. Bathroom inthe basement, so very tucked away(i didnt get to go but it gives me the next time chance to). Appetizer pork belly was amazing crispy crunchy and w the sauce it waa just missing rice that wouldve been a whole meal right there. Drinks were blue lemonade and lychee soda. Very refreshing for the great seafood to come. Pad se ew was 10/10. I asked for spicy and ofc it was heat coming. Big portion and lots of chewy noodles. Fried rice i always love thai style wok flavored rice. Soooo tasty esp the seasonings. Tom yum had big shrimps and mushrooms, just enough tangy and not overpowering. read more

Seen this spot on yelp multiple times so decided to give this place a try! What stands out is their lunch special- initially we were unsure how big/small the portion sizes are so we got three things to try! Their lunch specials come with an appetizer of your choice- chicken wings, chicken satay, tom yum, and a tofu option I believe. We got the chicken satay which was very good - comes with some peanut sauce and the chicken wings (each order comes with 3 pieces along with thai sweet chili sauce) Chicken wings were pretty decent to me but my husband thought it was just ok. For the entrees we got were pad see ew, pad thai and the green curry! Honestly all three were pretty good - but in order of our preference, it would be the pad see ew, the green curry then the pad thai. First, the portion sizes are also not that small so we had all this for two separate meals! The pad see ew was nicely flavored. This is the first time we had green curry and we thoroughly enjoyed it- it was nice and spicy but the flavor was there and super delicious. Pad Thai was kind of dry-ish but flavors was still good. Thai iced tea was also plenty sweet but also not bad. read more

Came to try their lunch special after my friend raved about them. The service was quick for takeout. And I tried their drunken noodles with coconut chicken soup. For $12 it's a steal. Drunken noodles are my go-to dish at Thai restaurants and this one was a bit of a let down. The noodles were broken and not fresh. The flavor was too sweet. The coconut chicken soup was ok; there were a lot of chicken though. It was slight sour and reminded me a bit of green curry. My partner liked this soup though. The restaurant itself is nice, clean and bright. I might come back to try their other dishes and hoping it'll be better. read more

So this review incapsulates two different dinner experiences. Let me start off by emphasizing just how friendly, sweet, and kind the staff are; they accommodated our request and even remedied any mishaps that occurred with our meal (I.e. papaya salad being too spicy for us to enjoy fully). So imma break down below our overall dining experience and the various appetizer and entrees that we had the opportunity to try: Appetizers: Chive cakes - second and third time ordering this and it is still addicting as hell! Just like my first experience, it was crunchy on the outside and mushy on the inside, a perfect and unique balance of texture and flavors! Papaya salad - very refreshing and interesting texture between the crunchiness of the peanuts and the crispness of the papaya strips! The spicy version was incredibly spicy but that was probably an accident on their end when they sprinkled too much Thai chili powder on it. The non spicy version was tangy, crunchy and help cleanse our taste for the main entrees. Drinks: Thai iced tea - very creamy and sweet with a strong tea flavor that's perfect for Thai ice tea lovers. It is definitely on the sweeter end so I recommend adding some milk to it if you bring your Thai ice tea home! Entrees: Crying Tiger - perfectly cooked to medium rare, just like we wanted. The sauce that accompanied the steak was deliciously spicy/tangy as well! However, I wasn't too much of a big fan of the strip cut, for I found it a bit too rough, but that's just my personal preference, so if you like strips then this will definitely satisfy your cravings! If I had any recommendations, I would recommend using a fattier cut or using ribeyes instead (or maybe as a new menu item!), for I think fattier cuts will be richer and be perfect with rice and the sauce that it comes with! Just a thought! :p Pad see ew (chicken and seafood) - both version of the pad see ew was delicious, for the flavors were definitely intense! The sweet and saltiness of the dish makes it deliciously memorable. However, some might find it just a tad too sweet. The sweetness definitely overpowers the saltiness, but it is still delicious in my opinion! Adding some hot sauce or their chili powder helps reduce the sweetness a bit and adds a kick to it! Highly recommend trying this! Chicken cashew - fried pieces of chicken with a sweet Thai glaze over it, which was good but a bit too salty for us (definitely pairs well with rice though). It was definitely worth the try and reminded us of Chinese sweet and sour chicken from Cantonese restaurants (not the purely fried ones from Chinese takeouts :p). Thai Fisherman stew - a flavorful pot of mixed seafood with a stew that tastes delicious with rice. It reminds us of soondubu (Korean tofu stew) because it comes with a similar small pot with similar portions. It was good overall and we liked it! Bangkok fried rice - wow, this was a show stealer! You can definitely taste the Wok Hay (Cantonese term for fire-infused cooking on a wok that brings out the smoky flavor of the fried rice)! It smells deliciously fragrant and the seasoning was just perfect! We got the beef version and it was phenomenal! Just a tip, if you order pad see ew as well, eat the fried rice first because the intense flavors of the pad see ew will definitely blanket the taste of the fried rice since the fried rice is on the milder side. Highly recommend trying this! My total 3 experiences dining here have been phenomenal and I can't wait to come back to try their many other items! A very comfortable and warm place to have a romantic dinner date or a simple heartfelt dinner to warm your tummy! I hope this helps and thank you for reading (: read more

Saw this place and decided to try it. It felt like eating authentic Thai cuisine! Went with a group and ordered the chicken satay, ricepot pad thai, duck curry and the hat yai chicken. Everything was delicious!! It was a lot of food for 5 people. I liked how the ricepot pad thai came with pieces of pork belly. They were very generous with the amount of duck in the duck curry. The hat yai chicken portion was definitely family style. Huge pieces of chicken served with a delicious sweet and sour sauce and sticky rice. The food was so good that I went back few weeks later. Tried their papaya salad, khao soi and tom yum seafood noodles. The khao soi dish means a lot to me since it's a dish that reminds me of my trip to Chiang Mai. It was so good it brought back memories. It was missing the crispy noodles, but the taste was on point. Very tender chicken drumstick with chewy, bouncy noodles in a delicious (not too spicy) coconut curry soup. But, I have to say their tom yum seafood noodle soup was amazing!!!! Very clean tasting, not too spicy or too sour. You could taste the seafood in the broth and it came with lots of seafood of all kinds. Overall, small but a cozy place, service is always good, food does not take too long and it's AMAZING!! Definitely coming back again for the third time! read more

I came back a 2nd time with my other family members and tried the pineapple fried rice, chicken drunken noodles, beef green curry (comes w rice), thai lemonade. I highly recommend the pineapple fried rice & the green curry. Those 2 were so delicious and flavorful! The beef in the green curry became a bit tough to chew, I would try vegetables next time. The drunken noodles were delicious but those 2 were more superior. The thai lemonade was not sweet and a bit sour in flavor - quite interesting. Staff was very attentive and nice. read more

On a 5pm Wednesday, we were the only customers in this small café. By 6pm, more people trickled in for a quick dinner. The space is small--seats 15 people at the same time, at most. Not ideal for large groups. The service was courteous and quick. Food was cooked and brought out quickly. Prices and portions were reasonable. Wish there was more protein per noodle ratio, that is where one star has been deducted. Pad thai's sauce was a bit on the watery, sour-y side. Not a huge fan, but the dish was fine otherwise [could have used more protein]. Drunken noodles were tasty and hearty. Enjoyed this dish, but again, more chicken was in order to balance out all the noodles. Chives cakes appetizer was delicious--so crispy and flavorful. Piquant, pronounced sauce that comes with it was much appreciated. This was the highlight of our meal. Shrimp & chicken dumplings appetizer was filling: five dumplings in a bowl of sweet soy sauce. Very delicate dough, which was a plus. The filling was bland and had more chicken [which was oddly grey and tasteless] than anything else. read more

Before I start, I used to order from them all the time especially the lunch special. It was great value for your money and taste was good. This time I got their lunch special. The portion size and taste used to be much better. The portion size now is super small, definitely not filling anymore. The chicken pad Thai had three small pieces of chicken. The taste was blah, pad Thai does not have any flavor. Prob won't order from them again. read more

So flavorful! They have lunch specials here but I opted for the rice pot pad thai. I initially thought they make it in a clay pot due to the name, but I was wrong. Rice Pot Pad Thai is just a remix on the regular pad thai. Here, they have crispy pork as the protein. Nonetheless, it was super delicious and flavorful. I came on a weekday afternoon and there were plenty of seats. The wait for my takeout was not long at all. read more

Food was pretty decent. I've had their pad thais multiple times and found it a bit overly salty every time.

Another Thai restaurant in Bensonhurst? Sign me up! I honestly had high hopes for Ricepot because it's on the bustling 86th street and I saw good reviews on Yelp. I ordered for pickup on GrubHub the first time, but when I got there at the scheduled time, they told me they didn't get my order - this is fine as I wasn't in a rush and they were nice about it, but it could be someone else's reason for a star deduction. I ordered a Drunken Noodle and while it was made fresh when I got to the restaurant, the chicken was quite dry and the noodles were pretty hard and rubbery. It wasn't chewy like fresh rice noodles should be at all. The flavor was good but was a little too salty for my taste. The shrimp was the only redeeming factor as it was big and fresh. I figured my experience could have been a one-time mishap and I really wanted to support the small business, so I went back a second time to try their Ricepot Pad Thai. I've had my fair share of pad thai, and while the pad thai was okay, it didn't wow me. The pork belly was decent but the 'rock shrimp' they called on the menu was just really tiny shrimp with their gut staring back at me. It was honestly not that appetizing to see and also for the $15 price point, I didn't expect to see such tiny, unclean shrimp. Overall, I feel like Ricepot is a little overpriced for its quality. I understand rent is high on such a busy street, but the competition at such a dense location is hard to beat. I don't think I'll be back to visit any time soon as there are new Asian and Thai restaurants in Bensonhurst that are better in my opinion. It's a bummer as I was excited about Ricepot, but hopefully, there will be another reason for me to visit again in the future. read more

New REAL THAI restaurant in Bensonhurst: My block has everything nowadays, with a newest addition of authentic Thai food (not Chinese/Malaysian influenced Thai cooking). It's a tiny place by the 20th Ave line but inside looks homey. The new Ricepot Thai Cook House replaced a few previous TW fried chicken places, offering some tasty Thai food like their Ricepot Pad Thai with fried pork belly. Really good portion, I was dying trying to finish the entire portion myself in one sitting...so much pork belly. They used thin rice noodles instead, overall a good dish for the price. Will try other noodles in the future. The lunch portion is small though. Got the Green Curry Lunch and sorry to say the portion of rice makes me so sad; I had to reheat some more leftover rice to add into the curry. Curry is good, spiced and spicy but won't kill you. I hope this place last unlike the other stores before them, 86th St really needs an authentic Thai restaurant! Will come back to try some other food items. read more
