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
Edna D.

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.
Jennifer J.

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
Melody K.

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
Austen K.

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.

The patio can get a bit chilly, but it's worth it for the view, and they do have heaters available. I started with a salad, followed by the Keenan's burger with a garbanzo bean patty, and the soup du jour. All three were delicious. The complimentary bread served with garlic herb spread was a wonderful start--aromatic and very satisfying. The salad had a great balance of fresh vegetables and toppings. On a cold day, the soup was especially comforting. The burger itself was well prepared and flavorful. The staff was polite and attentive, though they seemed a bit overwhelmed due to a large party seated next to us. Another nice perk: there's a boardwalk and beach right next door, making it a great place for a stroll before or after your meal.

A Bit Longer Answer... Keenan's is somehow still a bit of a hidden gem in Bellingham, WA. How that is, at least for visitors, is beyond me. It is located in the absolute best hotel in Bellingham, the Chrysalis in Fairhaven, a delightful part of Bellingham, WA. You will want to stay there, just saying, and their spa? Oh my gosh...but I digress... A few weeks ago, while staying overnight, I took my brother-in-law to dinner at Keenan's. He dislikes...a lot. Forgive me, but one of his "super powers" seems to be in finding fault in any even somewhat nice restaurant. Something is always wrong with the food, the prices, and/or the service...yeah...but wait! Monty ate every bite and (wait for it...) did not complain once! Alert the media! Oh, happy day!! Okay, more details... I have had the pleasure of eating at Keenan's both in person at the restaurant and via their room service many times. BOTH ARE AMAZING! Their room service breakfasts are incredible! How they make their omelets as light and yet filling, EVEN WHEN DELIVERED to my lovely hotel room, is beyond me! Order their fruit, too, whatever it is they offer, order it. It will always be a beautifully flavorful addition to your meal. I can promise you your food will show up, even with room service, well-seasoned and ready to devour! Their dinners? WOW! I have had so many of their entrees, and each one is incredible. Their scallops are always perfect. Again, seasoned so that it complements the scallops without overpowering them. Their rib-eye is incredibly tender while still being cooked medium-rare, yay! And, their duck...oh my gosh! Hurray! I have to add, check their specials. I have never been steered wrong. Of course, a meal is almost as much affected by the service as by the food, right? They will treat you like a VIP, no matter who you are or what you order. How cool is that? I love that they have that ability to be attentive without hovering, nice! How funny is this? Their venue is stunning. There is no questioning that point. It is simply stunning! The cool part of that is that they cook like they don't have a view. Does that make sense? They don't just rely on that "wow" factor and assume you will just go there for the view. The food and service are even better than the view, and that says A LOT! Oh, shhhh...just saying, between you and me...Mia, our latest server, is a rock star! Can you tell I am a fan? Yep! Count me in! Go there, you will thank me!

The dining room was elegant yet cozy, with great lighting. The staff was also very friendly and our waiter was very helpful in aiding our choice. We ordered the Focaccia bread, the salmon momtadito and the tonnarelli as our entree. The focaccia was the only dissapointing item as it was very basic in my opinion, which isn't bad but just nothing exciting to write about. The appetizer, the salmon montadito, was probably my favorite item of the night. It was served on focaccia bread and drizzled with a truffle honey butter and sat upon a mascarapone yogurt. It was elegant and it was incredibly flavorful. The sweetness of the truffle honey butter was a great contrast to the salmon itself, and all melted together to make an exceptional appetizer. The tonnarelli was a pasta dish we split and was also very tasty. The pasta itself was a thicker spaghetti like pasta served with plenty of crab. It was tasty and it satisfied and I'd likely order it again as I will be back when my sister's visit. All in all, a great restaurant to spend a nice night right in the heart of Bellingham!

We also shared an Afogato--vanilla gelato with decaf espresso poured over! Perfect, quite light after our meal and beautiful enough to paint as a watercolor. This is one of our easy go-to's when looking to dine out. We were happily helped by friendly bartenders, Nicole and Sie, who made great recommendations and great drinks for us. I especially loved the Mario Cicotti cocktail (an interesting variant of an Old Fashioned--including tobacco bitters and charred orange peel!--very interesting). And we enjoyed the beautiful, warm Montepulciano Nicole recommended. And they concocted a surprise drink for my dessert--I can't recall what it was--but it was lovely and came with a bunch of hearts! Consistently wonderful place in all ways, with lots of heart itself. In my opinion, what's not to love?
