This place is basically a hole in the wall in the very best way. It's in a converted Pizza Hut and in all honesty I have driven past this place and had no clue what it was. It's across from the Chase Bank in the same area of Walmart and Giant Eagle. My husband and I decided to give this spot a whirl and I am glad we did. The inside is tidy, tables and banquet tables. The color scheme is muted tones of burgundy? Black and brown. It's obvious they do a stellar take out business. Staff when you enter and leave a re very pleasant and it was not hard to get a table. Service was pleasant and efficient. The menu is a mash up of Chinese favorites, Sushi and some Thai dishes. I got a cup of the hot and sour soup a much needed elixir after a grueling day. It was the right amount of heat and all the vegetables and pieces of pork. I than got the Hunan Beef lordy it was a HUGE portion. Filled with carrots, baby corn, green and red peppers, mushrooms and zucchini. It. Came with a side of rice. It was really tasty. My husband got the Sashimi Platter, mixed thick slices of salmon, tuna and other fish. He said it was nicely done and the fish was fresh. All in all it was a nice experience and the good was tasty. They have a private parking lot.

Do yourself a favor. Stop ordering Chinese takeout that is poor quality, and leaves you feeling yucky. COVID-19 review Rice Inn is our #1 spot for take out, specifically Chinese and Japanese. The service is extremely friendly. From the moment you call in with the order, to the second they drop off your order (with mask on I might add) The food is extremely reasonably priced, And you get a VERY generous amount. Best part, sushi is delivered on ice. Yes, you heard right. Items are marked properly, extra sauces always provided. Sushi is unbelievably fresh as well. Thank you Rice Inn, for setting the bar high! Trust me, if you live in the south hills this will be your new favorite spot.

Rice inn has been my local go to for years. It is located right off of library road and has plenty of parking. The atmosphere is super laid back and casual (it used to be a Pizza Hut!). The sushi and Chinese food is amazing and the service is always top notch. My favorite time to go is during lunch for the sushi lunch special where you get two or three rolls with a soup or salad at an affordable price. The size of the rolls are very generous and the taste is great. I would highly recommend Rice inn for takeout and dine in!

Had to add another awesome sushi review from Rice Inn - this place does not disappoint with their sushi. Ever. Service is always kind and quick! Atmosphere is great even though we usually get take-out.

Decent sushi, there's better around for the price. Great tasting fish though I must say!

This is gluten-free General Tso Chicken with white rice.

This gluten-free General Tso Chicken was absolutely delicious. The lunch price is very good as there are side choices. Highly recommend!

9/22/23 I got some takeout from Rice Inn Bethel Park, location, fried rice, two eggrolls, California roll. Took food home me and the wife ate dinner, after dinner putting away the leftovers, we found a dead cockroach in the fried rice. After digging around, we found two dead cockroaches in the fried rice. It was too late that evening, to take it back, Saturday, I return to the store with the food, ask for the manager said we had a problem, I open the lid of the fried rice, and she immediately noticed it. Apologetic yes, surprised no . She immediately took the food away to the back kitchen. I got a refund, she asked me if I wanted new food I politely declined. I'm writing this so people can be very conscious if they want to eat at this restaurant. Me and my wife both got sick that evening. I don't want this happening to anyone else. Health department is now investigating.

The most AMAZING bartender EVER!!! He is one of the funniest, kindest people you will ever meet…read moreand his sense of humor makes every night memorable! He has a huge heart, a great personality, and a way of making people laugh that creates true friendships with his customers. Honestly, if you don't get his humor that's on you (earlier review I read!). Don't mistake a great sense of humor for rudeness. He's genuinely a wonderful human being and anyone who knows him knows that!

It is a combination of Asian vibes mixed with early American speakeasy bar vibes. At the front, Michael greeted us at the bar with a humorous but welcoming environment. When saying that we would dine in, he said to grab any table we wanted and we would be served. Kwan did great as our server. She was the only one serving tables but did so efficiently and with kindness. Throughout your experience, Michael would show up to our table to humor us and in the end, he was kind to provide my family and I with suggestions and even prayers as we were going through an extremely hard time when we first arrived. Above and beyond! For drink, the Thai iced teas were delicious. Michael crafted them in a glass jar. The fried rice was also delicious, it had flavor and cooked to perfection with the temperature being perfect. The appetizer platter was delicious, in particular the crab ragoons. One thing I love about this place was that you can rate the level of spicy you want from 0 to 10. Not many Thai places will do. It is either no spice or all spicy. All in all, I loved this place and look to come by whenever I visit Pittsburgh!

I haven't been to Thai Spoon in years, so I decided to take a walk over and get some green curry on…read moremy way home. I remember really liking it years ago, so I was curious to see how I'd feel about it this time. The service was dramatically quicker than they said it would be. They told me 15 minutes but it was ready after 7 minutes for pick up and the ambiance and vibe of the service was very professional. The flavor was good, but it was definitely milder than I remembered. I asked for a 5 on their 1 to 10 spice scale, so I expected a little more flavor and heat. It wasn't bad at all. It just seemed a little bland compared with what I remembered. I also feel like there could have been a lot more vegetables. I remember the green curry having things like baby corn, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, and more of a variety of vegetables. I feel like all of those different vegetables added so much flavor and texture to the dish. This time, there were only a couple pieces of zucchini and a lot of bamboo. I actually really like bamboo shoots. They're one of my favorites. But when there's that much of one vegetable, it starts to feel a little repetitive. Maybe they just happened to have an abundance of bamboo that day. I think I just preferred it when there was a lot more variety in the vegetables. The tofu was okay, although next time I might try chicken instead. One other thing I noticed was that the curry came in a black plastic container. I personally have some concerns about putting very hot food into black plastic because certain chemicals used in some black plastics can potentially migrate into food, especially with heat. I'd personally feel more comfortable with a different food container, or even the type of container they use for the rice, which I remember them using for the curry in the past. The takeout was around $18, which I don't think is unreasonable, especially considering the portion. Overall, I still thought it was good. I just remember the curry having more flavor and a much greater variety of vegetables the last time I had it. I almost wish I had gotten the crab fried rice instead. Next time I'm craving Thai food, I may try some of the other Thai restaurants in the area before coming back here to see how they compare. But I'm still glad I stopped by Thai Spoon after all these years.

For Thai food, I can't recommend this restaurant enough…read more Many vegan options-- tom kha and tom yum soups, for example. Even the fried rice can be prepared without egg. (Go for the spicy fried rice!) In fact, most of the entrees can be made vegan with tofu as the protein option. But there is plenty for the meat eater as well as pescatarians. I eat fish in occasion and the salmon mango curry is incredible! The decor is okay- not fancy, but clean and comfortable. The service is good- generally friendly and prompt. It is BYOB.
