    Fresh shrimp rolls, a bit light on shrimp, but were tasty with the dipping sauce.
    Erik S.

    I did not have finding great Thai food on my bingo card during my drive down to South Carolina to visit family for the holidays, but Rice provided! We had pulled off the interstate and were a bit road weary, so we decided to actually find something that wasn't fast food to satiate us. I pulled up the trusty Yelp app, and was blown away to see a Thai restaurant with a 5-star average in Kings Mountain of all places. We simply had to go and find out for ourselves. Rice is a small, looks like family run, kind of place. They did a ton of take-out business while we were there, but at peak dinner hours there was actually a wait for a dine-in table (about 15 minutes after we walked in). Clearly this is a locally loved spot. My wife went for the hibachi menu because she has an aversion to fish sauce, but I jumped right into the thai flavors with some fresh shrimp rolls and a bowl of their house specialty Tom Kha hot and sour noodle soup. To speak on the fresh rolls, I was a bit disappointed. Though the taste was great, they only had two measly shrimp inside them. The places near my home serve much larger rolls, with at least 4 plump shrimp inside. Regardless, with a very tasty dipping sauce, I was mostly happy with them. The soup shined bright on a very cold night. It was spicy enough to get my nose running at a level 3 spice, packed a really nice sour punch to balance the heat. There was a good amount of meat in it, and a very generous portion of noodles. I had some extra to take with us to our destination. This turned out to be a great stopover in Kings Mountain before we crossed into SC. Thank you Rice!

    Best authentic Thai food I've had in a while. Will definitely go back. My husband loves it which is a plus!!!

    Chicken Phad Thai

    This is not a drill. I'm anointing Rice as the best Thai restaurant I've ever visited. I moved to SC after a decade in Oregon (which has superb Thai food) this year. Found Rice on a Carolina road trip and everything I tried at our table was incredible. The Phad Thai is perfect, incredibly sweet and oh so al-dente. I'd drive the hour from home just to come back.

    Loved the food here. I ordered pineapple fried rice without egg since I am vegetarian and spicy level 3. Oo what yumm taste. If I am ever in the area again, definitely going back. As you can see we all ordered different items and everyone loved their items too. The owner/staff is very friendly as well, service was quick and easy. Highly recommended!

    Best little restaurant.First of all it's called Rice now and it is great food and a good price.There is a line in no time so get there early. We had free soup then spring rools, shrimp pad Thai and pho with take home and tea for less than 35.00

    42. Kao Soi curry noodle soup

    It has an extensive menu of Thai and Japanese. I had the Kao Soi curry noodles. Great flavor and the noodles were a great texture. The curry puffs went very well with it. Also a great value!

    Thai Spring Rolls

    Do NOT sleep on this place! Auntie's is now called Rice and it is, hands down, the BEST meal I have had this entire week of visiting Kings Mountain. The ladies who run it are so friendly and lovely! They were so kind to help me with menu options and even walked me through the sauce selections! FYI the Chili Oil is super spicy and super delicious! The Thai spring rolls have that umami quality that I was craving with a surprise hint of sweetness and dose of aromatic flavors I never expected! I could have ordered 30 of these! And crispy?!??! The crispiest! 10 out of 10! The Pad Kratiam (Pad Garlic) I ordered with pork but you can choose any protein from tofu to beef to seafood.... so many options to personalize it. The pork was so tender and the flavor was sublime! Notes of cilantro chased the garlic and sauted peppers.... coupled with the softest jasmine rice and a savory sauce.... I seriously suggest you give this one a try! And even though they are advertised as a Thai restaurant, they cater indiscriminately to their Asian-cuisine loving patrons by offering Chinese and Japanese style entrees as well as the most phenomenal Pho you can find this side of the state! If you are looking for an affordable meal prepared with the skills of a seasoned Auntie chef, go to RICE!! I PROMISE you will love it!

    What's left of pineapple fried rice with chicken
    Terry M.

    All the food was fantastic we had appetizers 1 thur 6 all of them were great.. chicken lomain kids loved it. Pineapple fried rice with chicken amazing Red curry some of the best ever. Number 45 can't remember the name but it was so good we order another one to go. Service was friendly very helpful. Didn't take to long for food to come out there was a lot of take out orders and our food still came out fairly quickly and was spot on in flavor. It's a small space bright colors lots of natural light relaxed at You must get the homemade coconut ice cream so refreshing. We will be coming back for sure. If your in the area and want great Thai food stop in support local great businesses in our communities. Forgot to take pics before we started eating and I ate all the red curry before I remembered to take pics .

    I've been going to Bep-pa's for years. I think I'm one of their most loyal customers. I've made it…read morea point to try different things on their menu, just so that I don't miss out on anything. Last night I ordered the Thai Noodle Soup (Bún Thái). It was delicious. Definitely a different flavor than the other dishes. It was spicy, but not hot spicy. I would order it again. My wife is stuck on the green curry. She orders that most of the time, she loves it so much. By the way, these were takeout orders. If you want to try something different, give them a try.

    Facebook ad brought me in. I decided today was the day to sample! They definitely over hyped. It…read morewas amazing marketing. It was a good decision. It was good but not great. Traditionally I get chicken, but to today I decided that the Beef; it was buss'n (per kidz). It was so savory with a hint of cinnamon (least I thought). The richness wasn't expected nor was the freshness of the bean sprouts. I typically hate them but these were fresh and had a great bite. I used them to indulge in the crunch. The noods were square and not round. I thought that was unique as I have traditionally only had round. The Beef wasn't as tender as I'm used to but decent. The broth was the star for me. I really enjoyed the Pho. In addition, I got Goyza which was savory and indulgent. They were a tad overcooked but I like the texture of the bite it creates. The Eggrolls were a disappointment. They had absolutely no flavor but we're cooked beautifully. Nice light fry and not over cooked. The dipping sauce was too gelatinous for me. I would definitely give them a try. Its a small Cafe so don't expect mom and pop as I did. Its more fast-food style. My waitress (Kim) was efficient and sweet. She managed the front house, waited tables and busted tables so if it's busy give her grace.
