I love finding a spot that's consistently good! I first discovered this place through a friend who ordered lunch, and I've been back several times since. Most recently, I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and pot stickers, and both were flavorful and delicious! Every visit has been a good experience, and I haven't been disappointed yet. They have a small dining area if you prefer to eat in, but I typically order online. The food is usually ready pretty quickly, and the prices are reasonable. Definitely a great spot to keep in rotation when you're craving good food! read more

Rice & Noodles - pad thai medium spicy & orange chicken - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered takeout on a cold day hoping for some comforting Thai food, but unfortunately this was disappointing. I got the drunken noodles (pad see ew) and requested no tomatoes and added corn. The order came with tomatoes still in it, and the corn I paid extra for was missing entirely. That was frustrating right off the bat. The noodles arrived hot and were spicy as requested, which I appreciated. However, the chicken was extremely bland and honestly tasted old, which really took away from the dish. The toppings overall were not up to par with my standards, especially considering I paid extra for some of them and didn't receive what I ordered. I had higher expectations given the good reviews, but this experience fell short. I really wanted to like this place, but between the incorrect order and lackluster quality, it was a letdown. read more

Rice & Noodles - Pad See-Ew - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ambiance: 5/5 This is a small mom-n-pop shop vibe restaurant in Pilsen. There are a handful of tables and everything seemed clean. Service: 5/5 Everyone is friendly. If you are dining in, go ahead and find a table and when you're ready, go up to the cashier to order. They will bring the food over to your table when it is ready. Food: 4/5 The pad thai and tom yum soup was legit!! Very flavorful and yummy. The panang curry was a little watery and didn't have the most flavor, but for the price of everything and the quantity, we would definitely be back to try other menu items. Their drinks are pretty good too c: read more

It's been hard trying to find a go-to Thai spot since the one by my house closed down. However, I love picking up from Rice & Noodles since they have all my favorite dishes! My favorites are the chicken pad thai, crab rangoon, and the yellow curry. The chicken pad thai has a lot of flavor, and I like how sweet the noodles are. The crab rangoon is crunchy and amazing with the sweet and sour sauce. And finally, the yellow curry has such rich flavors with the soft potatoes, onions, and chicken. It pairs so nicely with white rice! The service is good. We usually do pick-up, and there's never any problems. The ambiance is very small inside, and it looks like such a lowkey spot from the outside. You definitely have to give it a chance and try it! read more

YUM! I love this place for both the food and the price. This is a favorite takeout spot of mine for the sake of quality, price, and quantity. Tonight I tried the chow mein (yum!!!) but regularly get the pad Thai and fried rice and have been satisfied every time. Love trying new things on the menu, I've never been disappointed. read more

Rice & Noodles - Tofu Chow Mein (I subtracted mushroom) - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So... the rating would be higher-- if this place didn't almost kill me. If you are vegan, or have a peanut allergy or ANY allergy... be very careful eating here. Prices are good, affordable. But the lack of care here is insane. Ordered vegan Pad Thai with tofu and no peanuts due to a peanut allergy. A girl with glasses took my order over the phone, and was the same one to check me out. When I got my order I decided to check the container. Eggs. Peanuts. No tofu. Which is weird bc she repeated the order back to me and it was perfect when she repeated it. When I told the girl at the front, all she did was say "good catch!" When I would've literally died. She didn't put the order in correctly and when I received my replacement all she said was "since I made a mistake you can have the tofu free this time but next time I'll have to charge you." Like I wasn't fully aware that protein is extra... not my fault she didn't enter the charge on the receipt. She didn't care pretty much at all that the mistake she made could've cost me my life. Unfortunately as a pretty regular customer and someone who refers many people here-- I will not be going back and I advise everyone with a severe allergy to be very cautious with this place. Food is pretty sub par, but the prices make up for it. Now the girl and food ready to take me out? Yeah I'll stick to higher prices from the old place I use to be a regular at. Would've been at least a few more stars if she showed any sort of care or even apologized for having me wait an extra 15 min for a remake-- but she did not. Then when I got home-- the remake had eggs. She made another mistake -- so I couldn't eat anything. read more

I ordered the pad Thai, butterfly shrimp, and shumai. Everything was bland and lacked flavor, including the sweet soy sauce and sweet chili sauce. The pad Thai had no spice to it. I ordered it with chicken, beef, and added vegetables. Some of my selected vegetables were not included. I was very disappointed. Apparently the north side location is much better. read more

Inconsistent product. Ordered everything as medium spicy and got NO spice at all. That's kind of an unacceptable mistake for Thai food. Past orders have gone better. I'm just scared to order again because this round was pretty bad. read more

I love Rice & Noodles! I live far, so I usually order online, but I had the chance to visit in person, and it was definitely worth it. I always order the Thai Spicy Basil Noodles, Vegetable Spring Rolls or Potstickers, and the Honeydew Milk Tea. Students get a discount if they show their student ID. The restaurant has indoor seating, but it's small and usually busy when the high school nearby lets out. read more

Rice & Noodles - Takeout Pad See Ew and Penang Curry - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I used to like this place, but the quality has dropped a lot. I just ordered delivery and got a red curry with tofu but they put a massive piece of salmon in my order. As a vegetarian, I cannot eat that and when I called them, they said they couldn't do anything because their kitchen was closed. I don't know how such a big mistake can happen, and the fact that they wouldn't reimburse or offer to send a new order the next day at least was upsetting as I have already paid for an order I cannot eat. Don't think I'll be ordering from here again :(( read more

Great food and great service. This place offers delicious Thai food and fried rice take-out in Pilsen. The restaurant is small and tidy. Great service and great for a quick bite. Their drinks are also a treat. It is my regular Asian cuisine take-out when I don't feel like going to Chinatown. read more

Lovely Thai spot in Pilsen! I ordered the pad Thai and rainbow rolls. The pad Thai was reasonably priced ($10.75) and delicious. A decent sized portion and a lot of flavor. The rainbow rolls ($6.25) comes with peanut sauce. The rainbow rolls were good but not spectacular. The sauce container was small and the rolls were a bit sloppy. They are currently takeout only and I ordered via toast takeout. Overall the service was great and the pickup was seamless. It took about 20 minutes to receive my order. read more

Come here for among the best Thai food in Chicago for about the cheapest. It's surprising not every restaurant in Pilsen is Mexican. Rice & Noodles is a pretty authentic restaurant. Easy to miss because it's in not such a happening area. The place is pretty small, meaning most people get takeout. After hearing about it we decided to come here. It has a pretty big menu for a small place. The advertisement inside was for the Thai Red Tea. It's $6 for a large. This is made with soda water and syrup. Simple but good. We found it incredibly refreshing. On to food. There's of course noodles and rice. It's about $9 for an entree. These come with a protein choice. We both got tofu. Good portions even at lunch. We had some classic Thai. I had the Pad See Ew. This has eggs but I left these off. She had the Pad Thai, good and basic. The food came out fast and the owner was about as friendly as there is. Helpful making choices. The medium spice level is plenty for most. Get your fill of reasonably priced Thai food. It has a lot of flavor and you can adjust the seasonings even hotter. There's plenty of items that can be made for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Rice & Noodles - Thai Red Tea And Pad See Ew - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Last weekend (Sunday), my wife and I were looking for a place to order dinner. After a day cleaning, preparing foods for the workweek, etc,. we BOTH decided we did not feel like cooking another dish nor washing another dish. My wife started looking around, then I remembered that I ran unto Rice & Noodles the day before looking to possibly order food on Saturday. I poked around the website even more and saw they offered "brown rice" as an alternative to white rice. To me that was a WINNER just off the strength of that as I was already interested. For appetizers, my wife got the Crab Rangoon and Rainbow Roll. She thought the Rainbow Roll was great, very refreshing and nice crunch. On the other hand, she did not like the Rangoon. She felt it was overwhelmed with cream-cheese, and it took away from the flavor and crunch of the crab. I had the Chive Dumplings. I thought the flavor was great and the fillings were light, the dumpling needed just a little more time in the pan to get a nice crunch on the exterior, so everything was chewy in one bite. The dipping sauce was yummy. For dinner, my wife got the Pad Woon Sen. She felt it was a very nice favor profile, nice Unami flavor, not spicy at all and overall, very good. I had the Basil Duck with chicken. IT WAS EXCELENTE'.......! Nice deep flavor, basil flavor a nice and subtle while not hitting you in the face. The spice level was okay. I got it medium spicy; I should have gotten it Thai spicy. but it was GREAT nonetheless! The flavor of the gravy was deep, like it been cooking for hours and everything went very well together. I think I only have a corner left as I didn't want to glutton myself. Also, the brown rice was cooked perfectly. The texture was not chewy nor gummy, the nutty flavor was very light. I appreciated that very much! I will be back and hopefully getting to try one or some of the many lemonades the shop offers. Lastly, when ordering one was able to list any food allergy's one has! Which was another positive!... A place my wife originally wanted to order from did NOT offer this option. Shame on them! In this day and age, that could be dangerous! We will definitely be back sooner rather than later. A+++. read more

Stopped by Rice & Noodles in Pilsen and had a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well balanced, with noodles cooked perfectly and sauces that didn't overpower the dishes. Portions were generous and satisfying. Service was friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable, making it an easy place to enjoy a relaxed meal read more

This place is a hole in the wall in Pilsen, serving up delicious rice and noodle dishes! We ordered the sautéed pepper shrimp and the Thai fried rice. The flavor of both was great, I especially liked the sautéed pepper shrimp which was crispy and well seasoned, but I would echo previous reviews and say that I wish the portion size was just a little bit bigger (or maybe they could add some more veggies to the dish to make it more substantial). You can dine in or take out, they have 3 or 4 small tables that can seat up to 4-5 people inside the restaurant. There is paid and free parallel street parking outside as well! read more

Excellent noodles. Vegetarian friendly. Affordable pricing. Food is ready fast and piping hot everytime.

It was good food. I ordered the pad Thai and that was good. The baby eggrolls were a bit way too small but good flavor.

I have come to Rice and Noodles twice for lunch and I know I will be back. The food is very fresh and affordable. My go to has been the Thai fried rice, but I can't wait to keep trying things on the menu. read more

I glad I was able to try Thai food in Pilsen, which I accidentally found this place as I drove by and saw a big sign displaying " Thai Food". I ordered the yellow curry and I was surprised how delicious this dish was. The potato's was super soft and the sauce was mild as I like it and reasonably priced (around $10) which made me enjoy this even more. Plenty of free street parking and very clean inside. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Thai Food to give them a try. read more

The best pad see ew in Chicago. This place is my go to for Thai takeout and it's very consistent & tasty!

Got some yummy takeout from here and will definitely be back for more! Online ordering provided a lot of modifications and pictures with each item. The inside was very clean and empty. We tried the baby egg rolls, veggie egg rolls, miso soup, pad woon sen and chow mein. Everything tasted great and similar to other thai food we've had before. We also tried the butterfly lemonade and thai milk tea with tapioca boba. The butterfly lemonade was good as long as you like butterfly pea flower. The boba wasn't the best but the thai tea was yummy! Looking forward to trying something new next time. read more

Missing items from a DoorDash order and their only solution was to drive to the restaurant to pick up the food that these morons forgot to include in the first place. They admitted it was their fault and refused to do anything about it l, meaning they can deliberately forget part of the order and then blame it on DoorDash and make them pay for it. read more

Quickly becoming my favorite Thai spot in Chicago! So many unique dishes done really well. The shrimp and chicken with lobster sauce is my favorite! The chive dumplings and spring roll with cream cheese are our go-to apps. I love that you can add duck to many of the dishes, and as others have said they give great portions! I recently tried one of their new drinks, the "pink milk"-it's made with sala syrup and has a tasty flavor like strawberry but more floral, SO good! Always fast and friendly service, 11/10. read more

Ordered a few times, basil chicken, green curry are my go tos. Not a fan of the pad see ewe, pad woon Sen or the pad Thai

I love their pad se ew here! I would love to try more of their dishes. Customer service has been great, tho I always get my order to go. It seems like a smaller place so I could see it get crowded on a busy day. read more

I can't quite put my finger as to why this food is so good but it is. Could be fresh ingredients or simply well prepared food however my 1st guess would be some "tlc". I indulged in the baby egg rolls & the Thai spicy rice with shrimp. The shrimp were huge & while the spice level was comical it was a hefty & delicious meal. There's a sweet component to the rice & i'm not convinced Twas solely the bell pepper & onion inside. Nonetheless I see a great future with this place & i'm hoping they expand the menu even further. read more

This has become my new fav Thai place bc of three things: 1) quantity - large portions - like enough for left overs and def will be very filling if you get any of the wok noodles 2) price- amazing price - super affordable being only 10 a dish 3) Thai spicy - omg I always ask for extra spicy and sometimes it's not enough but here they allow u to do Thai spicy. Thank God ! Bonus : super fast speed and awesome service - they are so nice and chill :) I got a couple fav dishes - crazy noodle- solid choice similar to stir fry noodle that you can get at a Chinese place but Thai style. There is more basil , carrots , green beans, and a nice fresh umami flavor. I also love their pad Thai with chicken - another solid solid staple in Thai places and if you get it Thai spicy , whee what an amazing dish and for the price it's a total steal. Their penang curry is also great with rich flavors and ask for Thai spicy for that heat! read more

Wanted something light so Randomly walked in to try the spring rolls. Realized they have a spring. Veggie roll and it is exactly that veggies in the roll. So I honestly didn't enjoy it as I felt like I need some chicken in it. Or maybe just an egg roll or something but Don't get me wrong it is fresh. Just not for me. Still glad I tried it out. The potstickers were pork and they were good and also had a good dipping sauce I will try noodles and rice soon!! read more

The best go-to fast-casual Thai place I've found in the area. The restaurant front is small, but the wok is mighty. We ordered the shrimp and chicken in lobster sauce and pad thai. The portions are decently sized for the price, especially the entrees. The pad thai was so tasty especially the fried tofu that it comes with. The noodles are flavorful and have a "wok-flavor." It's a classic pad thai that is done right with red cabbage, bean sprouts and lime on the side. It will probably be my new go-to place for pad thai. The shrimp and chicken was sweet and saucy. It's ground chicken and juicy shrimp in a sweet sauce that you can pour over rice to soak up flavor. It's quite tasty, and I'm eager to try the other entrees. The entrees are slightly larger portions than the noodle dishes because it comes with rice on the side. The food was ready very quickly probably around 15 minutes, and we had no issues with ordering. read more
