Farang food all the way. This place had good service but the food was just bland and nothing like Thai food should be. I may return to try the green or panang curry but not anytime soon. read more

We really enjoyed our lunch here. The vegetable I dish got had an excellent flavor. The waiter was relaxed, friendly and serviceful. We got bananas with coconut dessert to share. Done just right. Highly recommended. read more

My family and i have been to Sweet Rice a couple of times. We leave in Mount vernon so we don't get to go to oak harbor that often. Each time we gone we had the best food and service. The wait-staff were very helpful. The food was fresh and portion was great. We got a Pineapple Curry Prawns that came in a whole Pineapple was amazing. I love spicy food so i told our waitress that I like it very spicy she told me Just to order "Thai Spicy" all of the food came with rice. read more

Called in an order for my husband and I. Ordered the Phad Thai for myself, level 1 heat with chicken, and the Phad See Yew for my husband, 0 heat with chicken. His is fine, tastes great. Mine tastes like it marinaded in a pot along with an old soap mildewed sponge. Then we noticed one of the napkins had a spot of blood on it and neither of us had used the napkins, and neither of us had any cuts or scratches so it had to be from someone at the restaurant, or maybe a different customer. At that point I was so disgusted that I was tempted to make myself vomit out of fear of what I may have put into my body. Will NOT be eating at Sweet Rice again. read more

What an excellent experience. The food and service was great. And with our server Austin, very knowledgeable about the food and drink. Highly recommend Sweet Rice especially with the poor choice of restaurants down town. read more

Now in my top 3 Thai restaurants. Clean, nice location, friendly staff, good prices etc. but let's talk about the FOOD! For apps we had edamame and pot stickers. Both came out fast and cooked well. Neither had the excess moisture that is standard when foods have been frozen too long or cooked too slow. We had a pot of tea, or which they had 5 varieties, which was hot and fresh. For a main I had the Peanut Curry. It was amazing, sweet, spicy, nutty, with yummy white meat chicken and veggies over rice noodles. They offer heat from 0-4 so you can have it just the way you want it. read more

Having lived in Oak Harbor for a few years Sweet Rice is my favorite Thai restaurant in town. I usually order fresh rolls, pad thai noodles, sweet rice, seaweed soup and thai tea. I have brought family members here and they also enjoyed it. Great environment and the customer service is always on point. read more

Wow, really good Thai food in Oak Harbor. Had the papaya salad (it was on special the day I was there. I'm not sure that it's on their regular menu), the phad kee mao with pork, and a cold Singha. Interestingly, they didn't ask how hot I wanted the salad but they did for the noodles. The salad was excellent, very tasty, and made me sweat. Thankfully I'm a heat freak so that wasn't a problem. The noodles were also quite good - not the best kee mao I've had, but a very good rendition, spiced appropriately. Wait staff was friendly and efficient. My only disappointment was their spice tray was lacking the fish sauce with sliced chilis that I love so much. read more

Excellent food, friendly staff, good atmosphere. I have eaten Thai food in Pattaya Beach and this is as close as I have seen to the real thing. read more

Fantastic food really the best Thai food on the island. Prices where 100% fair and service was great overall great experience would recommend and return. read more

I am really surprised by all the good reviews. Ive had Thai food at many different places in California and was never disappointed. We came here last night with another family and I was not impressed!!For starters, we ordered the crab Rangoon, which wasn't bad, however the two pieces my husband had were empty and had no crab mixture in the inside. I ordered the pad see ew. It was really bland and had no flavor at all. This is the first time having pad see ew that lacked flavor. My husband had the red curry. He asked for it to be spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. He said it smelled like a baby diaper and couldn't even finish eating it.. and then later complained his stomach hurt. Our other friend ordered the masaman curry and said it was just ok. The only we liked were the Thai donuts, so I'll give two stars just for that. Also, their peanut sauce is not good. You're better off eating at Jedas! read more

Still great customer service! I've been coming here 5 years now and their food still tastes the same and you still get the same great customer service! Love it! I do miss their buffet still! Hopefully they get wifi in there so we can use our restaurant.com gift certificates easier! Love this place! read more

The yellow and green curry and PD Thai were great. I think that those Yelpers who say the food isn't authentic enough should consider: (1) perhaps the cook has changed or (2)they want more heat or (3) maybe they want to duplicate a tasty meal for family and friends or (4) have a great experience like they had on vacation in SE Asia. Regardless of the reason this food tasted great and that is more important to me than comparing or duplicating its authenticity. The coconut ice cream was also a nice way to end an enjoyable meal. read more

Easily my favorite thai place on Whidbey Island. I had been going to 1-2-3 thai for years and finally decided to give this place a try. Wow! What a gem! The menu was extensive and had many items I haven't seen elsewhere. I ordered the spicy eggplant and it was simply out of this world. My girlfriend got chicken pad thai and it was just loaded with flavor. What I really enjoy about this place is the atmosphere and the fact that they serve adult beverages. You have the ability to sit down and enjoy a fantastic meal in a lovely setting while sipping a spiked thai iced tea. No other thai restauraunt in Oak Harbor can claim that! read more

Food was super awesome. Great vegan and veggie options too. Sweet rice with mango dessert was awesome. Fast quick service. Good vibes. 10/10 recommend read more

The best restaurant in Oak Harbor. The best restaurant on the island is Oystercatcher, but this is definitely the best in Oak Harbor. Im surprised there are negative reviews- ive eaten at some of the best restaurants in the world, and I didnt see anything wrong here. Service is kind, the environment is quaint and nicely lit, the Rangoon texture is superior to almost any other I've had- their wonton wrappers a higher quality, the spring rolls with peanut sauce interesting but not my favorite. The Orange chicken is very good, however without spice it is a little too sweet, as heat cancels spice- I would recommend getting at least a 2 or 3 heat for this dish, otherwjse it is perfectly fried with nice accompanying vegetables. Everything is very fresh. The cost is a tad higher than others, and the portions a little smaller, but it is worth it in my opinion. Besides, who wants to walk out bloated? read more

I visited a Thai restaurant in the location over 7 years ago, but the name had escaped me. Ever since, I have searched for one that was as delicious. I have honestly dreamed about going back when I made another trip to Oak Harbor. I raved to my family about this fabulous Thai place the entire trip, but when we finally made it there I was terribly disappointed -- AND, I had let my family down! The food was terrible. It was greasy, lacked authentic flavor, and the portions were very small. I can not express how upset I was after looking forward to this meal for such a long time. I politely asked the waitress if this restaurant was under new ownership. She informed me that it has had the same owner for about 7 years; I guess my last visit must have been just before the new owners took it over. In short.....DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME (OR MONEY) ON THIS RESTAURANT. I even held out for my favorite dessert, just in case THAT was going to be as good as I remembered, but it too left me greatly disappointed -- greasy, mushy bananas is not my favorite dessert. read more

Had a horrible experience here. Service was terrible. Food tasted under cooked and the sauce tasted dirty for multiple foods. The only redeeming quality of my visit was the calamari. No chance I'll be returning read more

Sweet Rice is by far my favorite restaurant in town. Everything that I have eaten there has been fantastic. My favorite is the Pad Thai, but their other noodle dishes are excellent as well as the curry dishes. I also love their appetizers. The calamari is a particular favorite (ask for some plum sauce in addition to the chili sauce they serve with it). Oak Harbor really lacks good asian food in my opinion. Ever since I have discovered Sweet Rice, I have to eat there once a week or I start twitching and scratching. :-) read more

Awesome service! Good value for the amount of food you get - One takeout curry order can easily make 3 meals for myself, or comfortably feed myself and my husband. The buffet during the weekdays is a great deal and a great way to try new Thai dishes you've always been afraid to get a full order of! The noodle dishes such as pad thai are not as good as I'm used to, so I usually just order their amazing curries or fried rice with shrimp. read more

Really LOVE this place! Every time i go there i receive excellent customer service. I get the shrimp fried rice & it is lovely! I love all the soups of the day and it is a very relaxing environment! Will always come back here! read more

This used to be Erawan, but apparently under new management since mid 2008. Very nice decor, clean and a quiet place for an intimate evening meal if that's what you're after. Think of Nora Jones for ambience. Cloth napkins and very pleasant wait-staff. If you're a novice to Thai cuisine, this place would be OK. Flavors toned down and Americanized. Even with 3/4 stars, it's pretty bland for someone more experienced with Thai cuisine. Moderately expensive ($85 for 5 entrees + 2 appetizers and one tea). I've eaten here several times with my wife and family when we wanted some place nice to have Thai and were in the Old Town/Pioneer way area, but 1-2-3 Thai, next to Safeway offers better tasting, fresher Thai cuisine, although in a fast-food strip mall decor, for about 60% the price. Eat here for nice decor and ambience if you're not too picky about Thai food, and you'll have a pleasant experience. read more
