Customer Reviews
This place really only gets 3 stars because the food quality changes so much. Iv been going here for years as it's the closest spot to me and you just never know what you are going to get it seems. Like sometimes it's fantastic and sometimes it's just like what happened today what is this. Flaver texture everything will be off. I don't know what is happening but it is strange. Today my order of sober noodles was almost not worth eating and normally it's one of my favorites. They so anyways have fast times for ordering to pick up though.
The food spice levels were wildly inconsistent. And the service is a quite a bit off, when you ask queations and they seem bothered by you being there or walk off mid trying to order it does not inspire repeat customers, and is poor customer service. We went with a group 4 total. Ordered the green papya salad with a spice level of 1 and it came out absolutely inedible spicy. They did offer to remake the salad, which they stated was taking a while to make "look pretty",but had already had to wait an unsual amount of time after everyone else at the table had already been served, for a salad presentation that was mid at best. Had no interest in waiting that long again. One person in our group ordered something at the 4 level spice and it had literally no spice heat to it at all. Over a
My lady and I stopped by to get a good bite to eat and were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere and presentation of both the staff and the delicious food. Hands down the best pad Thai I’ve ever had and the coconut shrimp was to die for. A big plus and surprise was the carrot creature we had on our appetizer plate. 🦋🍤 Update! We went back almost a year later and the food was just as delicious as before! This time we had the crab fried rice and that is a new all time favorite of mine. Unfortunately no creatures on our plates but we didn’t order an appetizer this time.
I LOVE Thai food. And I eat it often. I’ve always thought On Rice was 3 stars average. The food has always been adequate. But the last time I ordered it was beyond average. It was super bland all the way around. No rich flavors, and our “3” star spice was more like 1.
Something has drastically changed at this location. My husband I have been consistently eating here for so many years and the last two times lately the food is not good. We also order the same dishes Pad Thai chicken, drunken noodle and I am sweet and sour and they absolutely do not taste anything like they used to. Pad thai sauce was too sweet and very different and noodles were not cooked all the way. My I am sweet and sour was not good. Chicken texture was off, and didn't seem cooked all the way. My daughter said her vegetarian dish did not taste at all like it used to. So we were extremely disappointed. Not sure if maybe they changed cooks but it's definitely not the same. Sad because this was our favorite place and we always looked forward to eating here
