Stopped in for lunch one afternoon and was greeted kindly by the waitstaff. The menu has both lunch and dinner sized entrees available. Lots of options but I went with the crispy chicken basil with white rice. I asked for it mild but honesty could have probably done normal. It was crispy and savory. The rice looked like a small portion but ended up being just enough. Also liked how they gave lemon water. Bathrooms are clean as well. Overall, a great little lunch spot with Thai dishes and sushi. Note: the front door is pretty heavy! It might seem like they're closed but just pull hard :) read more

Sweet Rice JP - Crispy Chicken Basil - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We enjoyed the sushi here. Reasonably priced, fresh, beautiful presentation. My bf really liked the spider roll. I liked the vegetable roll a lot (which had a lot of veggies and pickled veggies). We also got spicy tuna and a hand roll with avocado and salmon. It was delicious! read more

It was amazing, the sushi was delicious too! The girl that was attending my family was very nice.

I was looking for a Thai restaurant. Was passing through the block and find this place. Overall it is good. Fried tofu Great! The tofu is fried but inside is still very soft. Crispy chicken basil Great! The chicken is fried first then served with sauce. It is not crispy, instead it feels like teriyaki chicken. Seafood noodle It is noodle fried and stir with seafood. Good. Pineapple fried rice There are pineapple, shrimps and chicken. It is not like traditional Thai fried rice. I feel like it changed the flavor to accommodate American customers. If you like, try to add some soy sauce, that makes it taste better. Fried ice cream Fried shell of flour with vanilla ice cream inside. Just a normal ice cream. read more

This time, we got the Pad C U with chicken and the Pad thai with chicken. The quality was similar. Pad thai was very greasy and didn't have a strong enough flavor. Pad c u was pretty decent though. We also got the berry rangoons again, which were just as solid. read more

Let me first say, I was very excited to see that there was another sushi option that opened up in JP. Buuuttt.. This started off a little rocky. I showed up at 3:45 and there was a sign on the door saying they were on break from 3-4p. Not so bad (I guess given the time) but I was hungry when I showed up! I came back though and it was a pleasant experience. I ordered a couple orders of sashimi - salmon and unagi. I also ordered the Sushi Bomb roll. I should have waited to drink my glass of wine because apparently, I didn't read the description thoroughly. It was a tempura type role (which I wasn't intending on getting) but it was actually pretty good. The service was wonderful with one exception. There was one waitress (different than the one I had) who checked on me and then brought my bill. I hadn't even finished my wine and food! Smh. The waitress I had was great though. Shoulder length hair and tiny. That's all I know. Anyway, recommend anyone in JP (and beyond) to try this spot. read more

My friend and I always come here when we hang out! Pretty cozy and quiet, so great for catching up. Food never misses, as there's many different options from sushi to fried rice. Sometimes I just order a couple of appetizers as my meal, because they're also great. Service has never disappointed. read more

My kids were super tired, and the staff was very accomodating. When I said that we were vegetarian, they immediately got that I didn't just mean no meat; I also meant no fish sauce. My kids really liked the variety. read more

Yummy food, couldn't stop eating my shrimp pad Thai! Service was fast and my order was ready when I walked in for pick up.

i don't go to JP often, but my coworker and i stopped by for a quick lunch and we absolutely loved the food! we ordered the alaskan roll, tamago sushi, california roll, seaweed salad and one of the chef's special rolls. all were delicious and our total was about $60 including tax and tip. the servers were nice and the restaurant was clean. the location of the restaurant is convenient, and there is street parking near by. i highly recommend checking our sweet rice! overall rating: 9/10 read more

We love Thai food and this could be the best we've had in the Boston area. Everything look and tasted beyond fresh and delicious. Awesome pad see ew, lemon chess chicken flavored perfectly, fresh rolls and sushi that were as beautiful as they were delicious. Everything from start to finish was perfectly flavorful - awesome menu too and beyond kind people on the phone and serving. We randomly discovered this while in the area today and will definitely make the ride to come back! read more

Tasty, good food at a reasonable price! The tom yum was yummy! Made quickly too. Added rice noodles side and it was the best.

I love Thai food and have to eat it whenever I'm in Boston. Pad Woon Sen and Pad C U with wide noodles (some places use regular rice noodles) can be difficult to find in Central Maine. Needless to say, I had to order both lol. The portions are generous. I was surprised how much duck came with the duck noodle soup. The only thing I would pass on in the future were the Thai pancakes. They were fine, just not my favorite. Food was delivery quickly, maybe it's just good timing. read more

I've never eaten in person at Sweet Rice but I've gotten take out several times and it's always delicious! This has become our go-to spot for sushi takeout in JP. Consistently the fish is fresh, flavorful, and affordable for sushi. The Toro Fantasy roll is a go to favorite, but I'm also a fan of some of their simpler maki rolls like the spicy tuna or salmon and any of the eel rolls. I've also ordered some awesome sashimi here. We've ordered non-sushi as well and were very happy. Spring rolls and the avocado fresh roll are great and we really like their duck entrees. My only issue with the sushi is the fairly American-ized menu. I really dislike cream cheese in my sushi and the majority of the specialty rolls have it. The specialty rolls also lean very heavy on shrimp tempura which is also not a fav of mine - if I'm craving sushi I want the raw stuff. Sweet Rice also doesn't offer a sashimi plate as an entree - you have to order a la carte or get the sashimi appetizer (9 pieces, 3 types of fish, usually salmon, tuna, and yellowtail) which is too small to be an entree alone. Sashimi is my go-to sushi order so I wish there were more options for me to make that my whole meal without spending $50+. There is sashimi included in the party boats but all the boats include at least one maki roll with cream cheese so I'm SOL. But if you're down with the CC life go for a boat and save some shekels. If Sweet Rice expanded their sushi offerings to be a bit more fish-centric and a bit less American this would probably pivot to a 5 star review. Regardless, I look forward to being able to visit and eat in the restaurant whenever covid frees us from hibernation -- so probably 2025 read more

My coworker and I love this place. We came to replaced their rooftop unit and we tried their pineapples and mango fried rices very delicious. They have many more to choose from. We recommend this place if you love Thai foods. read more

Wonderful discovery! The setting is quaintly little. The food was excellent, and the servers were quite kind. We ate drunken noodles, sushi, spring rolls, and papaya salad. The amounts were big, and you could choose how spicy the food was. I heartily endorse this location! Very simple and delish! read more

I've never had anything here below amazing! I've had both dine-in and lots of takeout. Dine-in experience is quick service! Only draw back is the tables are quite close to each other. I love the selection of chef signature sushi. Although some may say it's not true sushi since it's not raw, my favorite is the SpongeBob roll. It's covered in mango and a sweet sauce. It's a great contrast to any other rolls. I recently tried the shrimp mango salad and it was really light and refreshing. And don't forget the satay chicken, it is to die for. read more

I really appreciate this huge menu and how accommodating they always are for all of my dietary restrictions (vegetarian and lots of allergies). Dishes my husband and I have enjoyed: -Sweet & sour with tofu -Thai chicken wings - Drunken noodles Dishes that have been just ok/a little bland: - Pad c u - cucumber sushi - Pad Thai - Pork dumplings read more

Part of a small chain, this "all in one" has Thai food, Japanese cuisine, and other Asian specialties, like Vietnamese spring rolls and Chinese food. Unfortunately they don't do any one thing spectacularly well. The sushi chefs at the bar put together nigiri and fish crudo bowls and rolls that are fairly basic, but nothing that really wows the palate as anything super fresh about that day's catch or uniquely creative. If you want top level sushi, there are other places in town. If you want a basic generically Asian restaurant that may satisfy some in your group, this is not a bad choice. read more

Had dinner here during the soft opening. Service was friendly and attentive. We ordered some delicious fruity sparkling sake to split. For starters some salmon and tune sashimi (fresh and huge portions), Thai pancake (not like typical scallion pancake, unique and yummy), and yellow chicken curry which was just the right level of spice and flavor. Will be back! read more

Sweet Rice JP - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place just recently opened their JP location so I figured I would give it a try. The restaurant was well lit with the front wall all windows. I sat at the tall seats by the window because I was alone for dinner. They have a wide selection of Thai food as well as sushi on their menu. I asked a couple questions about the menu which the waitress answered. I settled on the Pad Thai which was more than enough to fill me up. I noticed that the prices on the menu seemed a couple of dollars high across the board. The rice is included in the price at lunch time but is a la carte at night. I will return If I ever have a chance. read more

I'm not really a sushi expert. In fact I actually just started eating it within the past year or more. But this place is excellent in my opinion! I thought the signature rolls were priced a bit high but they were definitely worth it. We got the Boston roll, Spicy crab roll and the Tuna on top roll. Tuna on top was by far my favorite! It had spicy tuna, thin slices of jalapeño and tempura crumbs on top of yellow tail and cream cheese. Very good flavor all around. Parking is always rough when driving anywhere. But luckily there is a parking lot right around the corner! read more

Sweet Rice is AMAZING! I ordered the crispy chicken fried rice and it was the best fried rice I've ever had! They also had an amazing spicy sauce!! My friend and I were skeptical about having cranberry in our goons but o m g they were the best goons ever. It's right on centre street so it's close to a lot of good stores and parking is parallel on st but I've never had a problem finding a spot! 10/10 will go forever read more

5 stars for the drunken noodles which were reasonably priced for the shrimp option and pretty good. Very sauce-y and I liked the vegetables they added in - more than the typical broccoli and such. The noodles were a bit too over cooked at some points, but that's better than undercooked, I guess. 3 stars for the Thai iced coffee which was pretty meh. Not in the top half of the best iced coffees I've had. Best I can say about it is that it was at least flavorful and not diluted. So average is about 4 stars, maybe 4.25. read more

Some of the worst Asian food I have had in Boston. Their ingredients are also not fresh.

Cozy dining area with friendly and attentive staff. Food is tasty, portions are great! We modified a few orders (no roe and no eggs ) for my picky teen and the request was graciously honored without complaint. Food was served promptly. Clean bathrooms! read more

I've ordered catering from this place for my workplace, and I think that's actually their strong suit. In terms of takeout, this place is a little bit too expensive for simple vegetable dishes (which is what I get). I order the cashew nut with veggies (no tofu) and white rice, and it sets me back $15.52. That's A LOT of money for what is probably 2 dollars with of food product. And it's just *okay*, not great. I'd come here WAY MORE OFTEN if I felt the prices more appropriately matched the food costs. read more

$10 for 10 rings of calamari. What a ripoff. Their most expensive appetizer. Double the portion, then it'd be fine. (The sauce was delicious.) The rest of what we ordered was solid. Two stars is just from the sheer shock and ensuing hunger of this calamacalamity. Would happily bump up to 4 stars if they change this. read more

Sweet Rice JP - Shrimp Tempura Roll - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Order a couple of curry dishes (red tofu and chicken), drunken noodles, tofu pad Thai and several sushi rolls this last weekend. Pickup was on time and pretty straightforward. For the most part, I thought everything was great and the breadth of menu does make Sweet Rice appealing. If I were to come back, I'd lean towards the sushi bar more than anything. Rainbow roll is where it's at. The curries were pretty good but nothing too crazy and spice was kept to a minimum (two stars wasn't particularly spiced). One thing that did annoy me (since I was taking this for a picnic): we ordered over $100 and only got two chopsticks and two soy sauce packets. What gives?! read more

Sweet rice is usually one of my go to restaurants, but tonight's experience was not good. I ordered the crab rangoon, crispy chicken pad see ew, and the avocado fresh rolls. The crispy chicken was nearly inedible. It tasted like it had been sitting around for hours and was fried in dirty oil. The noodles were lacking in sauce and didn't have much flavor. The avocado rolls were absolutely awful. They were 90% lettuce, barely any avocado, and the veggies didn't taste fresh. Incredibly disappointed with the decline in quality. read more

This review is only for their Sushi/Nigiri menu, as I have not tried any of their Thai food yet... At best, their sushi and nigiri is mediocre. I tried their Tuna, Salmon and Yellowtail Nigiri and the Spicy Crab and Philly roles. At first bite, I could tell this was not high quality fish, which is a concern anytime you're eating raw fish. However, I am leaving them only 2 stars because of the indigestion and upset stomach I had the next day from this meal. I am a person who eats sushi very frequently, usually multiple times a week, and never have a bad reaction to any of these commonly ordered rolls. This meal was also the only thing I ate the day before, leaving me to firmly believe the culprit of my upset stomach was the poor quality Sushi and Nigiri from Sweet Rice JP. I will not be returning. read more

GET. THE VEGGIE SUSHI ENTREE. NOW! I ordered it thinking "I could use some vegetables in my life" and it was incredible. 1 veggie sushi roll (a good mix of sweeter and savory vegetables made it so tasty), 1 cucumber hand roll, and 5 pieces of vegetable sushi. The vegetable sushi was beautiful. A little pat of rice, some nori, each with a gorgeous vegetable on top. There was squash, asparagus, tamago (not a vegetable but i love it), avocado, and something that I think might have been bamboo or mushrooms? It was gorgeous, and tasty, and special. At $14, it was a lot of good food and a beautiful presentation. I can't wait to get it again. read more

Plain food... did they recently change the chef? I have ordered from this place more than a year and has been always delicious and was my go-to for Thai food, but yesterday I ordered tempura (good) wontons (my favorite), spring rolls (unsatisfactory) yellow curry (mediocre) pad Thai (AWFUL) so sad... I need to find a new place now read more

I don't write a lot of reviews or really any but this place has been my go to for years for take out delivery and when time permits I have dined in. Their food is consistently fresh and delicious! I honestly have had so many disappointing experiences with take out and delivery being sub par versus dine in and that has never been the case here. They have a huge menu and it's all great! Sometimes you just want a red dragon roll and pad Thai at the same time, ya know! read more

We hadn't been here in a while but had always liked the food. My husband had a hankerin' for lemongrass chicken, which is not easy to find for some reason, and he was excited to see that it was on the menu. Meanwhile, chicken krapow is my go-to in any Thai restaurant but, sadly, it's not on the menu so I ordered drunken noodle instead. The noodles were an odd texture, mushy and gelatinous, and the lemongrass chicken didn't have much flavor. A disappointing visit. read more

This was our go to Thai place in JP for a few years. The food is good and Sweet Rice has always made Thai Food night a happy one. They're always responsive when we call and the delivery used to be very fast. Things seem to have shifted a little bit the past year - higher prices (I'm guessing inflation though) and a little bit slower (again, feel like it is just how it is right now). If we still lived nearby / when we're in the area we would still happily visit Sweet Rice. read more

The food is good but this past delivery was a bad experience. I was delivered the wrong order and I notified the delivery driver. He said he would come back and get it and take it to the right house. I said the bag was opened it's not sanitary to take it to the persons house and he started yelling at me so I ended the call. I threw the food away and called the restaurant and the person I spoke to said I had to get the food out of the trash and bring it in to show them in order to get a refund on my food which is never received.
