    Phad Se Ew. Tiny portion and no rice.
    Matt A.

    Just bad in every way. Was our favorite for years. But now the food has gone down hill. Pad See Ew

    Miang Kham

    We've been to many Thai restaurants but this place is truly an authentic one. So glad that we tried this place with family from California after going to Tulip Town. The food was delicious! My favorite was the appetizer, Thai street food Miang Kham, So refreshing! The service was excellent, friendly, polite and attentive server and owner. We will try their other branch in Seattle. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Takeout red curry lunch combo.

    I'm not sure if it's the cool weather or some kind of hormonal imbalance, but I've found myself craving Thai food lately. Thank goodness On Rice is located practically across the street from my office! I can order ahead, hop on over for take-out, and within minutes be sitting at my desk with a delicious lunch ready to devour. My favorite on their lunch specials is the red curry with chicken. It's served with a heaping side o' jasmine rice and some pad thai. Plus it comes with soup! For around $10 this is a steal of a deal. The portion is huge and I often have enough left over for dinner. And most importantly, the food is tasty. The curry is house-made, with plenty of tender chicken plus freshly cooked veggies. I like it with 4 stars of spice. I find their star level runs a little lower here than other Thai joints in town. So if you usually order 3 stars you might want to bump it up a level here. The pad Thai is solid, too. I like that the noodles are super soft and absorb most of the saucy goodness essential to a good PT. The lunch special includes a meatless pad Thai, but (obviously) if you order from the main menu you can get any number of protein options with it. And let's not forget the soup. It's a simple, clear broth with vegetables. I usually save mine for a mid-late-early afternoon snack for when life at the office is dragging.

    Nice Fresh Rolls

    You could easily drive past this place if you aren't familiar with the area. It sits up pretty high on the hill and the sign is hidden by trees on the south side. The entrance is pretty steep and the parking lot is in desperate need of repairs and striping. The outside could use a facelift, the dead plants are very unattractive and one wonders whether the same lack of attention is paid to the rest of the business. Although the entry is somewhat grimy the rest of the restaurant seems tidy enough, no obvious dust or food debris lying around, the tables and chairs were in good repair and the decor is pleasantly Asian inspired. I did notice a couple of small bullseye holes in the windows though. Service was fast. We ordered beverages and fresh rolls for starters. The drinks were good and the rolls were very nice. For mains I ordered Red Curry Chicken, when the waiter asked me what protein I wanted, I repeated "chicken". When the food came out guess what was missing? I had it taken back and the cooks added some chicken. Now, I don't know whether the waiter screwed up or the cooks, but that was pretty ridiculous. Despite the screw up the curry was pretty tasty. My husband's Emperor Noodles were scrumptious. I highly recommend it. We will probably return as this is only one of a handful of Thai places that serves hard liquor and has decent food.

    Roti nanai.  Get this!
    Brett P.

    A decent Thai restaurant. I went with 4 star (heat) chicken pad thai and a side of roti nanai. The pad thai is a solid 3 stars. Massive portions so a good bang for your buck. At 4 stars (out of 5), this was not that spicy and still very sweet. Plus, why add a scoop of rice to a plate full of noods? Some people may love it, but it felt like I was cutting my pad thai with rice just to fill me up. Without the rice, this is still a giant order. I don't see a reason for it to be included. Now, the roti nanai was amazing! Easily 5 stars! If you have to try 1 thing, get that!

    Pad Thai

    Excellent food! I swear every time I've had their pad Thai it's tasted exactly the same as the time before, if not some how better. Also the massive portion sizes are a massive plus.

    Can't get enough of these crab rangoons
    Lizzie S.

    I do enjoy coming here when I'm craving Thai food but lately I've noticed each time I go it seems like my meal is prepared differently. It's difficult to order food, especially your favorite when you are unsure how the cook will prepare. Sometimes they use different proportion of sauce, spices, or vegetables. There is a lack of consistency and you expect to receive the same dish every time. Don't get me wrong, the food is still great but I am disappointed in the consistency of cooking between the cooks.

    Yellow curry w/ chicken
    Heidi M.

    Pretty good food. We came here after my son's college graduation. It was pretty quiet. They have a large selection of teas, my favorite was the jasmine. All the food we ordered was good. My favorite was curry fired rice with pineapples - YUM! Penalty of parking nearby, Staff was ver warm and friendly.

    Yellow Curry (with vegetables)
    Andrea H.

    I stood at the hostess stand for at least five minutes. There was a large fish tank at the entrance, so I passed the time admiring the four saltwater fish gathering in the tank nearest to me obviously hoping to be fed (funny, me too). There were patrons in the restaurant, but I didn't even see a waiter running around for several minutes. Eventually, after taking an order from one table and filling water glasses at another, The waiter finally made his way over to the hostess stand, and I was finally greeted and seated with a menu. I ordered egg rolls, yellow curry and jasmine rice, but the waiter told me that rice came with the order, so I dropped the last item. The egg rolls, served with sweet and sour sauce, were piping hot, but didn't seem fresh. They had that 'frozen storage' quality to them. I had requested vegetables with my yellow curry instead of meat. I wasn't disappointed. There were bits of carrots, broccoli, snow peas, pineapple, potato, baby corn, etc. My preference for the degree of spicy came out just fine; although, I would not have opposed it being a little hotter. The restaurant decor is very nicely done, and I loved sitting next to the big picture windows, even if the view was just concrete and the street. Once I was finally seated, the service turned out just fine. The appetizer was nothing to write home about, but the main course was quite good. The meal was about $16 which seemed quite pricy, but actually, it could have fed two people easily if shared, so keeping that in mind, it seems more reasonable. I love Thai food, and since there are few options in Bellingham, I will probably return.

    They got good food, but they're over priced. Also the owners and managers are not very friendly people. The staff is nice.

Their menu is really easy to read and understand and they are very friendly and quick. They give you a buzzer you can take with you and go find somewhere to sit which is great. We decided to try the rice noodle soup with beef, potstickers and donuts. The soup was amazing. So much flavor and packed with lots of noodles and beef. You get quite a bit for what you pay for. The potstickers also had lots of flavor and was the perfect texture with just the right amount of crisp. The donuts, oh wow. These are amazing! I would come back just for these alone! They were served hot and drizzled with a perfect amount of sweetened condensed milk, they were so good.

The setup includes a couple of food trucks and a covered beer garden with seating. We decided to grab our food to go since the weather wasn't cooperating, but everything still tasted amazing back at our hotel. We ordered vegetarian dumplings, vegetarian fried egg rolls, chicken dumplings, pork Chinese buns, and chicken rice noodle soup. Every dish was flavorful and fresh. The soup in particular had a rich, comforting broth with tender chicken, noodles, and cabbage. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and service was fast. The woman working the truck was friendly and welcoming, even with the wind and rain coming down. We will definitely be back next time we are in Bellingham. If the weather is better, we will stay and eat in the beer garden. This place is a great find.

When they opened many years ago, there was a lot of well-deserved local buzz. From stunning decor to one of the longest sushi conveyor belts I've ever seen, it was worth a visit just for the visuals. But the food and service were inconsistent, and I ended up never going back after my first few tries. Fast forward to the other night, my daughter and I did a mini "sushi hop" and ended up here. I have to say, I was pretty darn impressed! The conveyor belt was still just as long, and the ginormous sculpture (imported from Thailand IIRC) was still looming over the place. But they seem to have settled into their groove after so many years in business here in the Ham. We enjoyed a variety of options from the belt, including a few tasty rolls, as well as some nigiri ordered off the menu. Everything was fresh, hearty, and delish. I thought the prices weren't too bad, either. I will definitely look forward to visiting here again next time I'm having a sushi craving. I do want to say something about the service, as I noticed some recent reviews have mentioned problems in this area. On our visit, our server was very responsive and the special menu items we ordered came out quickly. So, at least on this particular night, there were no issues for us. Hopefully they're working on this!
