I ordered the Pad Thai yesterday, and unfortunately it was unbelievably sweet. It was practically impossible to eat - it felt more like a dessert than a savory Thai dish. No one warned me that it would be this sweet, which was very disappointing. I've been to Thailand four times and I'm a huge fan of Thai cuisine, so I can confidently say that this is not an authentic Pad Thai and it should not taste like this. I managed to eat only about one-third of it before giving up. This is especially disappointing because during my first visit I was very happy with the food and had planned to come back. Sadly, after this experience, I don't think I will be returning. read more

Meh... I think I ordered the wrong thing. Every time I do a review, keep in mind that I'm a Texi-fornian. I maintain an extremely healthy diet. This was way too rich for me. I would go again, but I have to be more discerning about what I choose because I don't want to be on the treadmill for four hours the day after. The atmosphere was great. Clearly this was a favorite lunch spot for nearby workers. The energy was great. The decor was fun. read more

Sweet Rice - Thai Near Me - Dallas, Texas

When I tell you this was prolly the best Asian food I had in Dallas I'm not lying! I was so shocked and stumbled on it. Only thing is that even tho I got mild, everything was still spicy. The wings were 10/10 but not many for the price. I deff will be back. It's hot af in the inside, almost felt like no air. Service was ok could be better. read more

Ambiance was great. Love the atmosphere. You are greeted when you walk in. Menus are at the counter where you order & on top of a trashcan when you walk in. I was looking for an authentic Thai/lao cuisine and this is as close as it gets here in Dallas after coming back from being in Laos for some time. Only thing I didn't enjoy was the portioning to the cost. I felt like I received very little for what I paid. Flavor was great but the spice level wasn't there. I got a level 5 as well. Good restaurant. Hope to come back again and maybe see some changes in the portions or pricing. Sticky rice was a bit pricier than I anticipated! read more

Sweet rice is the newest Thai place here in bishop arts and was exactly what the neighborhood was missing. The owner is so sweet and always so helpful when ordering. Beware their spice levels as they use real Thai chilis and it can get very hot very fast, so usually I order a 3 or 4 spice level elsewhere but here I order 2. We have only ordered to-go granted from here but Everything we have had is always great! Our go to's are the duck fat fried rice (comes with combo steak chicken and shrimp) and then the crab rangoons, egg rolls, yellow curry and moo ping. I think that will get you right in almost any state! read more

Parking is also a bit of an issue but Sweet Rice is definitely worth any inconvenience. We were greeted and seated quickly on a Sunday at 2:30 PM. Our server was friendly and efficient. The dining area is casual and comfortable. Our food was delicious and filling; I wish I had leftovers! Bishop Arts is a great area to explore since you found parking read more

I literally can't say enough good things about Sweet Rice because even after a week of eating here, my boyfriend and I are still raving about it. Sweet Rice is owned and run by a Thai family (I believe), so you best believe that the food is incredibly authentic. The very nice lady gave us incredible recommendations, and she was so sweet and kind. She brought out lots of Thai spice options, which were fantastic additions to our entrees. Pricing is honestly very reasonable for the amount of food that you get, and you also have to keep in mind which neighborhood Sweet Rice is located in. The menu looks incredible and we honestly wanted to try everything, but we opted for the duck fat fried rice and this other rice dish that was so freaking good. I've never had Thai food this good in Dallas much less anywhere else in Texas, so that's how you know this is truly a gem. The duck fat fried rice was so unique and so fragrant, and I would come back just to order this again. The other rice dish that we got was also so yummy with the meat and the rice perfectly cooked. The sauce from the meat seeped into the sauce, so we were scarfing down bite after bite. I truly can't say enough good things about Sweet Rice. This has become one of my boyfriend's and my favorite restaurants in all of Texas, and we plan on bringing our family and friends here. Please come try it out! They're worth the visit. read more

I am obsessed with this spot. I came in today for the first time. I'm not sure how long they've been here but I know it's been a super long time. We don't have a lot of Thai food in this part of Dallas and I'm so glad they're here. we must protect them at all costs. First of all you walk in it's very clean. It's extremely cute. You can tell it's very eco- friendly. All of the packaging is compostable, which I love. The people working there are so sweet so friendly, so helpful. They even have a little back patio area with barstools you can sit at when the weather is nice. They have a huge menu of all sorts of Thai and Lao food, including standard fair, appetizers, and street food. They also have Boba and a few desserts. Heres what we ordered- Thai style papaya salad, steamed potstickers, crying tiger and khao moo dang. Also ordered a Thai lemon tea boba with crystal bobas. Sadly they don't have popping boba but nice that they even have boba! I forgot to ask for it less sweet so it was quite on the sweet side but nothing adding in some water couldn't easily fix. They were so sweet and brought us out some crispy chicken skin chips on the house. They said that they thought we were Thai based on our order and then asked if we'd ever been to Thailand. I'm sure they were just being nice, but it was incredibly kind and thoughtful and totally made my day So glad for more Thai/asian places on this side of town because the options are very limited. I cannot wait to come back and try everything on the menu. All the food was 10/10. Loved it all. Everything about the restaurant is adorable as well. They even have a front door ramp that makes it wheelchair and stroller accessible! You have to try this place out- you won't be disappointed! read more

FRESH FOOD!! My daughter works in the Bishop Arts area and recommended we try Sweet Rice. Shes been here a few times and highly recommended it. What a great choice! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful with the menu options. Very clean and chill environment. We had a great experience and will be back. I had the chicken Pad Thai and my husband had the chicken fried rice. Both were delicious with lots of flavor. I ordered mine at a 3 but maybe I'll get 4 next time. I like my food pretty spicy and was offered some fresh spices and sauces to add by the sweet lady at the counter. So good. My son and daughter ordered a couple of appetizers to try, shrimp fresh rolls and crab cream cheese. Their peanut sauce is so yummy! I even added some in my Pad Thai. Everything tastes so fresh. I got a strawberry green tea with boba to go. Very refreshing and tasty. If you're in the Bishop Arts area and want a bite to eat I highly recommend trying them out. They're located where Encanto Pop used to be. Very cute spot with delicious food. read more

I have been so meaning to get to this review! I could keep it succinct and just say Go to Sweet Rice! But we loved that this food is superb and is here in Oak Cliff, so we definitely need to say more! The female front of house that was here the day we came to Sweet Rice was so amazing to us, I can't begin to tell you how kind she is and I forgot her name. I am so embarrassed. She was lovely. And she managed the front pretty much by herself. She warned us about the spice level. We can generally take the heat; but we ordered a "2" and it had plenty of heat for my husband and I. She was right. ( I usually get a "3" and he orders a "4" on a 1 - 5 scale.) For our first visit we chose familiar items. Thai Chicken Wings, Thai Chicken Green Curry, and a little something different, Street Thai Train Fried Rice with a three meat combo - beef, chicken, shrimp. But the Sweet Rice menu is incredible. Soups are headliners here - so many. Noodles. Combinations I would love to try. As it turned out, everything we had was terrific. Perfectly cooked, seasoned and served, it was plenty of food for two people. Street Thai Train Fried Rice was seasoned such that each grain of rice was as seasoned as the next. It was a beautiful rice dish that needed no sauce even. The chicken wings were not greasy at all. Tight and crispy but tender and juicy. Very Good and again, well seasoned. The curry was perfect. The vibe is good with plants and that historic building feel. Although there is a huge wonderful sunny window at the front of Sweet Rice, the restaurant itself is small. There's Ledge seating at the window and other tables and chairs that are close in proximity. They have Counter ordering. There is one unisex bathroom and no additional dining in back. I lived in Oak Cliff and this little spot is truly evocative of old Oak Cliff. It's built along with a string of other small historic buildings, newly revitalized places, along Davis going West downhill towards the intersection of Tyler. It's interesting. It's intimate. And it's tough to park. I'm not gonna lie. There is parking in back, in front of a long deck, where you can enter through the restaurant's back door. There's a few spots to fight for out front and more back east up the street. It's better at different times of the day, I'm sure. We had no trouble parking today! read more

Peeps. I can't even rate this place on food. The customer service towards me was deplorable. I'm ordered fried rice to go. FOUR families ordered after me for sit down meals and received their food before me. Thirty minutes later they told me some nonsense like the online orders are backed up. Ma'am you took my order at the counter!!! No apology or kindness given. I'm still waiting. Horrible!!! read more

I was cheerfully welcomed as I entered. Fast casual, small dining area , limited seating and parking but definitely worth it. Food and service just as good as other Sweet Rice location. Even the eat-in foods are served in I sat at the small dining counter with a view to Davis St. All orders are served in biodegradable containers. I did not check out bathrooms but this place is clean and tidy. Thank you for being in Oak Cliff. 5 stars. read more

Updated Review - the portion sizes have gotten better over time. This Thai restaurant is extremely good, I wish the prices were a few dollars cheaper for better value. Typically end of up paying $20 for almost any lunch sized portioned meal. read more

New favorite spot. Great selections, fantastic service and perfect location. I love the variety of meals, desserts, and drinks.

I used to love Sweet Rice and it was our go-to spot for Chicken Pad Thai. Unfortunately, our visit today was disappointing. We ordered our usual Chicken Pad Thai and vegetable egg rolls. The egg rolls were excellent as always. However, the Pad Thai noodles were noticeably undercooked -- stiff and hard to eat. My husband actually choked on them, so we politely asked for the dish to be remade. The second version was slightly better but the noodles were still not fully cooked. When I asked for to-go container lids and extra Pad Thai sauce (so I could steam and soften the noodles at home), an older lady (around 70) shook her head and said "no." After I offered to pay for the extra sauce, she eventually provided it, but the interaction felt rude and unwilling. The combination of declining food quality and this poor customer service has changed my experience so much that it will unfortunately be our last visit. I really wish it hadn't ended this way. read more

Came in for a quick thai coffee. It was a great price, slightly sweet and strong coffee, not watered down, which was exactly what I was looking for. The service was quick and the place was clean and staff were polite. If I come back to the area I would try some more of the food but I will recommend it to my friends. read more

Their eggrolls (veggie) are to DIE for. I had to ask if they are made in house because no way they are frozen! They are made in house!!! Literally so fresh and yummy. If you don't try anything else from here, the eggrolls are a must have! read more

I was actually visiting another place and walked by Sweet Rice when two patrons that were leaving saw me looking at the menu in the window pondering over whether I should end my day with a Thai Milk Tea. They were pretty much pushing me into the building at this point, so since I'm a lover of all things Thai, I said why not? I could go for a green curry any day of the week. And that's precisely what I ordered! The ambience was quiet and laid back, and cute/comforting. My order was immediately taken, i didn't have to wait, which is always a plus in my book. I also ordered a THAI. COFFEE. In all CAPS, because that's how excited I was to see it on the menu! I almost always mix Thai tea with a Vietnamese iced coffee, and not many restaurants have both or are willing to mix it, because they think it's outlandish, but I digress. The green curry was mildly sweet with a slight kick of spice (I got the mild spice, I'm too much of a wimp with a horrible stomach to go any further than jalapeño range), it really doesn't need the rice, but I'm a carb loader so again, why not? The only disappointment I had is that my drink did not look like the picture that I was enticed by. I was expecting this drink to have this creamy foam throughout the drink like the picture, but it wasn't. But other than that, everything was great! read more

Pad ke mao is decent. Pad see ew tastes like old oil. Zero seasoning. The duck fat fried rice was okay. I wouldn't recommend

Food was great and staff were welcoming! Will come back for sure. The beef pho was delicious and worth the price. We also got the brown sugar milk tea with boba and it was very flavorful and high quality (not just sweet). The music wasn't too loud as well, overall loved the experience! read more

Good enough food, but terrible customer service. We called at 1:30 on a Thursday, they picked up, and then asked me to hold and put down the phone. I heard them take four orders at the counter and they never came back to me. I hung up and called back for 10 or 15 minutes and they apparently left the phone off the hook and never picked up. What good is good food if you have terrible customer service and only one line going into the restaurant? L~ read more

The place is adorable. The lady at the counter was so sweet. And the food was so good. We really enjoyed it.

Picked up pad se ew with chicken and green curry with tofu (came steamed which I didn't specify but prefer), which were both good. I appreciated the nice wok char on the pad se ew. The flavors were more bland than other Thai/Laotian places I've been (eg Sabaidee on Lemmon). Portions are reasonable but smaller than at other Thai places. However, given the convenient location in Bishop Arts, I was satisfied and will definitely be back. I'm looking forward to trying some of the more traditional street eats. read more

We have ordered from Sweet Rice several times now and I must say they continue to deliver consistent, fresh and delicious food. We do take out and the ordering process through the clover app is easy and quick! They always have our food ready to go yet still hot. Some of our favorites include the pineapple rice, pad se ew and red curry... all of which are outstanding in flavor! Though we have never eaten inside the restaurant, it does seem like a cozy and intimate atmosphere for a date night. Try Sweet Rice, you will not be disappointed! read more

Hey hey! This place is my go to. Can't go wrong with the basil fried rice. I haven't tried everything in their menu, but the things that I have tried like the flat noodles! I have been delicious.

Place is great, I've only had their noodle dishes, a few soups, and their khao man gai (hainanese chicken). Enjoyed everything. Pad Thai is good but maybe not the standout among their offerings. One of the few places to serve hainanese chicken in the metroplex, and it's great. read more

The food isn't great, especially for what they are charging. The pad Thai wasn't to my liking. I have had better at more authentic restaurants for a cheaper price. The short rib appetizer was way to expensive for what they are giving you. It was 2 maybe 3 pork ribs chopped up for 12 bucks. No thanks! Flavor was ok but that's about it. The Thai fried rice was too sweet. Should probably cut back on some of the sweetness in my opinion. The staff was nice and friendly and the location is inviting and clean. Would i go back for their food? Most likely not. read more

I placed a pickup order and when i went inside to grab it the woman let me know a different app to order from next time with less fees and said she gave me extra tofu. So sweet! The food is delicious too, will definitely add this to my neighborhood favorites :) read more
