Thai food is never my favorite, but I will eat it. It was a gal in our vacation group's birthday and she loves Thai, so we found this little gem on Yelp based on the good reviews. The secret is clearly out, because even for an early dinner in the off season there was about a 30 minute wait. They offered us wine while we waited which took the edge off. There were seven of us and they seated us at a table that was probably too small, but it was better than continuing to wait. The dining room inside is small, and there is also outdoor seating, but I overheard people complaining about bugs outside. I was happy to be crowded inside rather than bugged outside. We were told the dishes tend to be small and to order plenty, so we did. With the small table it was a little awkward to place and pass everything, but we managed. We ordered a lot of dishes (see photos, though I still think I missed a few). The standouts for me were the dumplings and the noodles. read more

We did takeout and it did not disappoint. Portions are smaller so order extra if you are hungry! It was ready when they said so no wait time. read more

Rickshaw is super popular with the local Ketchum crowd, and for good reason. Located downtown just off the main drag it's an easy walk from just about anywhere in town or from one of the many bus stops. This SE Asian-fusion restaurant is small and there's frequently a wait, but they offer outside seating and have a few spots at the bar which is where we sat. Plan ahead and enjoy the fresh, mountain air while you wait. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and made great recommendations . Most of the dishes are tapas-style, small plates. Great for sharing and trying a number of things. We had the cucumbers, chili oil noodles, Andrea's potstickers, Korean Fried Chicken (aka KFC) and green curry chicken. Everything was original, served at the appropriate temp and, of course, delish. I wouldn't have minded a little more heat but each dish had lots of flavor. I appreciated that there were some vegan/vegetarian options. Our server said they are happy to sub tofu in for chicken or other protein whenever possible. We've been staying at the Sun Valley Lodge for a few days which is great, but I appreciate that Rickshaw offers world class food in reasonable portions at fair prices. With a glass of wine and two mocktails our dinner was only a little more than our poolside lunch at the lodge (one sandwich and two drinks). We're coming back to Sun Valley next month with family. Rickshaw is on our short list of places to eat. read more

We wanted so badly to give this place a 5. Docking a point because the flavors just weren't quite as good as we hoped. Don't get me wrong, everything we had was flavorful but it was missing that oomph that a 5-star deserves. We had the Dahl soup, hoisin cashew-shrimp, and chiang mai curry noodles. Good service and nice cozy vibe for a cold winter evening. Would love to try more on the menu! read more

6:30pm on a Wednesday summer night, and Rickshaw was hopping! The wait was long but there were seats at the bar, so my friend and I grabbed them. Loved the open kitchen and laid back Asian fusion vibes. Green Curry Chicken hit the spot! It was so fresh and flavorful! I've had a LOT of green curry (even in Thailand) in my life - this is easily in the best ever. Didn't try anything else but would go back any day of the week. No issues with the service - great experience! read more

One of the best places in Ketchum and most unique. You can order on line to go or eat in or outside when the weather allows. The food is outstanding; the service is awesome and friendly. The ambiance is warm and local. Don't miss this spot and try as many items as you can. read more

Our server was perfect. She was polite and honest. The food was fresh and delicious. The combinations of flavors were unique, yet traditional. It was packed. I can't remember if you could make reservations, but I would. read more

My partner did enjoy this spot more than I did. And the service was 5/5, plus cute interior. But for me, the food had no flavor and definitely didn't live up to the hype.... The chili oil noodles tasted pretty sweet (noodles did have a good chew) and left me wanting more spiciness. We got extra chili oil to add, but it didn't do much honestly. While the ingredients were great, I felt like all of the sauces were missing something. The flavors aren't prominent, everything tasted like a variation of watered down soy sauce. Actual spice could've helped but you also can't hide the lack of flavor behind spiciness... Maybe stronger acidic notes would help as well. And more garlic, ginger, MSG (MSG is wrongly vilified & would've been a great umami addition here)... For the quality of the ingredients used, I can understand the price. However, the portions coupled with bland taste left me pretty disappointed. read more

A bit of a wait to get seated with a walk-in/sign up for a table model in place...multiple dishes typically shared among table mates...all delicious and prepared with care. Server was attentive and always on time as the next dish was delivered to the table just as each predecessor was gobbled up. This is a gem. The spacing is about right and while the dining room is noisy and active it's more festive than anything. read more

INCREDIBLE!! is what I have to say! If you have the opportunity to try out this restaurant, put your name on that waitlist and wait for this one because you won't regret it! There are some other bar/restaurants within walking distance where you can grab a drink at while you wait, so it made waiting go by even quicker. I came here with a group of friends and we were able to grab a table outside which was great! The weather was perfect and the outdoor seating area was very welcoming. Our server was on top of things which made the experience all the better, because we ordered so much off of the menu! The menu is comprised of so many delightful, shareable dishes! We ordered the following: Green Papaya Salad: Such a fresh and delicious dish! The lemongrass and cilantro really brighten up the flavor of the dish, and it comes with a side spoon full hot Thai chilies for those who want to add a kick to their bite! Hoisin Cashew-Shrimp: One of our favorite dishes; so much so that we ended up getting a second order! The sauce was so full of flavor and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. Samui Squid: The batter on this was just the right amount to add a soft crunch. The dipping sauce was light, yet complex, and had a nice acidity to it. K.F.C. (Korean Fried Chicken): I could rave about how exceptional this chicken was until I reached the ends of the earth. This was a second dish that we got a second order of after polishing the first order. They have absolutely perfected the crispiness on this chicken and the flavor had the perfect level of spice to it. This is a MUST ORDER item. Chili-Oil Noodles: Upon first look, you may notice that the noodles are hard to find under the piling of various toppings. Give it a stir and buckle in for some of the best udon noodles you've ever had. The different toppings provide such a nice crunch that pair with the noodles while the chili oil still prevails as a prominent flavor in the dish. Andreas' pot-stickers: I didn't partake in this dish, but it looked very well made! They had a great wrapper-to-filling ratio and had a beautiful golden brown cook to them! Sake: They only offer cold sake on the menu, which is a plus for me as I prefer cold sake to hot. We ordered a few different bottles including the Joto Yuzu, the Joto Junmai Nigori, and one other bottle (name escapes me). All were delicious, but I will caution to only order the Yuzu one if you do like that very citrus forward flavor. We anticipated that the flavor would be lightly flavored with the yuzu, but the citrus was not hiding anywhere here. I will think about this meal for a long time and I hope to return very soon to try even more outstanding dishes! read more

Yum!!! I love Rickshaw! Definitely stop here when visiting Ketchum. There will pretty much always be a long wait here because it's really small inside, but it's worth it I promise! Or get it to go. I've tried the Potstickers, Thai Chicken Sate, Chiang Mai Curry Noodles, Pearl Balls (Chicken Dumplings), and Caramel Pork Ribs. All of the dishes were super good and full of flavor! My favorite is the Chiang Mai noodles. I felt like it got better the more I ate it! And it's a pretty good amount of food. I literally drank the sauce when I was done! The ribs are great but have a pretty strong kick in some bites, so beware of that if you're sensitive to spice! The Chicken Sate is a great option too, because it comes with rice and the delicious Papaya Salad! It's nice to have the variety. I feel like prices are totally reasonable for the quality of food you get here. Highly recommend! read more

Love this spot! Definitely recommend. Love that they are open later than most other places in town AND their steamed greens are the best I've ever had in a restaurant. F-ing delicious. 10/10 Everything I've had from here has been really, really good. Vibe and decor /dim lighting inside & service was great too. read more

This meal is truly a 5 stars. It was all good. Best dining experience I've had in Sun Valley. Fun to get a ton of stuff and mix and match and try a bunch of stuff. The curry noodles were a favorite. The KFC was particularly tasty as well. The pot stickers sauce is to die for. Friendly service from one of the chefs. The staff sat us quickly. Nice low lighting in the restaurant. Each plate is about $12-15, and for a party of three, we got 8-9 and we were stuffed. read more

Rickshaw was amazing. We went for dinner. We ordered maybe 6 dishes for four guys plus a bottle of Sake. Everything was delicious. I lived in Asia and this met exceeded my expectations. Sit outside if you can. Highly recommend! read more

We stopped in here after reading the reviews wanting not a fancy place, just good Asian food for a reasonable price, and I tell you it didn't disappoint. We had the Green papaya salad, udon noodles and chicken curry. Each dish was special in its own way and plenty to share for the two of us. Go early to get a seat. We'll be back for sure. read more

After a long (fun) day on the slopes there's usually an 80% chance that my crew is too tired to go out. Unfortunately, Sun Valley doesn't have many delivery options, but Rickshaw is a good option if you can pick up...and are in the mood for asian food. The menu isn't very big and we ordered the majority of it to share so we got a little taste of everything. It was all very good, but some of it definitely had a kick, but the rice that came with many of the dishes helped put out the fire in my mouth. Favorites included: - Chili-Oil Udon Noodles - Thai Chicken Sate - Sichuan Green Beans You can also eat there, but it's a pretty small restaurant so may have a bit of a wait during the busy season. read more

You'll be waiting 2.5-3 hours to get a table in this restaurant. There's 6-7 tables maximum, and 6-7 bar seats. You write your name on a piece of paper, and someone will call you once it's your turn. This place gets three stars for the great service we got, and that's it. We ordered the K.F.C. and the Chili Oil Udon. Both were reminiscent of a Trader Joe's frozen meal. I'm so glad everyone else seems to enjoy this place, but as an Asian, I would not recommend it (granted, there's not many Asians in town in general). read more

This place is a must for us when we are in Ketchum. The food and service are awesome. The restaurant is no frills, the focus is really on the food. It's small so if it's busy you could be waiting. True story read more

Great food here. I had noodles. Shrimp and rice and dumplings. Also, I predictably had an ice cold beer. The food was amazing. The shrimp was so flavorful. The noodles were awesome and amazingly tasty. The dumplings were also good, but I had them last so I was a bit full by then....but amazing too.

Overall the food didn't live up to the hype for me, but the service was great. Taiwanese-style beef and bok choy dry udon noodles: 2/5 -- This was a lunch special not on the menu, and we took a chance. I probably misunderstood the description, but I was expecting a soupy noodle because of "Taiwanese-style." Pad Thai: 2/5 -- Too much seasoning to noodle ratio; would have preferred more of the protein (egg, tofu, and/or shrimp) as well Rebe Combo: 3/5 -- An ok variety plate (named after the chef Rebecca); pro tip offered by the staff was to get extra lettuce to make lettuce wraps I would return to try other items on the menu. read more

Hands-down my favorite dining experience during our ski trip to Sun Valley. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is excellent, and the Asian small plates were all delicious. We were recommended to get 3-5 for a group of 2. Having already had an appetizer elsewhere while we waited, 3 was the perfect amount. We tried the Korean Friend Chicken (very spicy), Green Curry (mildly spicy), and the Pot Stickers (fluffy and savory). Highly recommend! TIP: This place is popular for a reason. No reservations, so I recommend getting there as early as possible. As a party of 2, we put our name in at 630pm on a Friday night and had about a 2 hour wait. You are able to leave your phone # and walk around, etc. so it wasn't too bad and well worth it. read more

First time here, worst Thai food I've had in a long time, nothing was spicy, Ida Thai is way better.

Food is super yummy, service was friendly and fast enough considering how slammed they were on a Friday evening. Excellent ambiance.

Visiting Ketchum for some hiking & Lord have mercy this place should get 10 stars! We were recommended to check it out by a local in Ketchum and seriously EVERYTHING SINGLE dish was phenomenal! I am half Korean, and my husband is Puerto Rican and we have a palette for all sorts of good culturally diverse foods! This was one of the best Asian fusion stores we have ever tried and we've had some great food local to us! We chose 4 different dishes and each one had unique flavor, perfectly paired ingredients and also not super sweet or salty which is usually common with most Asian style dishes. Everything was PERFECT!! Prices were also incredibly reasonable!! We were extremely impressed and 100% well be back when we are in the area ! read more

Loved this place. We stopped in on a Thursday night at 950pm. We were seated quickly. Only place open so we didn't expect much but we're thrilled with the meal. They had a wonton special which was amazing. The Korean fried chicken was yummy. Thai chicken sate was very good as well. Good beer selection. Loved this place and would go back! read more

I really wanted to like this place. Every bad review seems to be about the takeout, which we opted for. Ordered the seafood soup, which came complete with three (3) bay-sized shrimp. Also had the green curry tofu (see pic). More than half of this container was rice. The other part was a watery, unflavorful sauce, mostly broccoli (where were all the mushrooms?). Maybe dine in would be better, but for $40 between these two dishes, I would have expected better quality and quantity... read more

Acceptable food, with a few elements done very well. Unfortunately, let down by inconsistency and odd service choices. The Sri Lankan dahl [sic] (11$) was quite nice, flavorful enough to not be boring, while still a very soothing dish. I also enjoyed the green curry chicken (16$), which had good fragrant curry, but somewhat tasteless chicken. The texture of the chicken was fine though, so it was a bit surprising! The rice was also nicely fragrant. The green papaya salad (12$) was mostly just sour, without the usual sweet and savory balancing elements. The Korean fried chicken (14$) appeared to be... sweet and sour American Chinese style chicken, with an additional frying step. (And was served with rice?) Not crisp like Korean fried chicken ought to be at all. I'm puzzled. I suppose you can argue this is some form of fusion, but it was poorly balanced flavor wise and also pretty hard texture wise. The service was fine though a touch slow; the real issue was that they were weirdly stingy about giving us tableware. When we wanted to share the dahl, they only gave one bowl (we were a group of three). Then even though it was clear we were sharing food, they indicated we should reuse the same ladle for all the dishes, even though some were quite saucey and the flavors very different. It may be a choice if it's 4:30 and you want to have dinner immediately without a reservation, and maybe if you go enough you can figure out the hits. read more

Cold night. Below freezing. Needed soup. That's where Rickshaw came in. Rickshaw has a small dining area that includes some counter seating in front of an open kitchen. For a Thursday night, there was only a brief wait before we slipped into two of those counter stools. Nobody seemed anxious to leave once their tummies were full. I took that as a very good sign. My Pho Ga was a large bowl of Asian seasoned broth filled with noodles, topped with sliced chicken, bean sprouts and sliced lime. My word to the wise is, understand this healthy cuisine includes a love affair with spicy chile. This soup came with jalapeno slices that gave a warm, spicy flavor to an already complex broth that was strong with 5-star anise. I shamelessly picked the jalapeno out knowing it had done enough work already The Hoisin Cashew Shrimp is a mouthwatering dish of deep fried, tender shrimp that is served over rice. The hoisin sauce and sesame seeds are a great finish. A great dish. The Thai Beef Salad is beautifully presented with layers of lettuce, rice noodles, cucumber, raw beet threads, filet mignon slices, cilantro dressing, and toasted rice flour. The tender beef slices were beautifully marinated and perfectly cooked. But again, beware of sneaky chile fireworks. You will have no trouble discovering how right I am as you bite into tiny, almost imperceptible chunks of potent, Thai chiles (feisty seeds included). Wuss that I am, I repeated my hunt to remove all these, after realizing I had lost all the feeling in my lips. But this dish, including a typical Thai dressing (made from fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice), is one of my favorites. Chenin Blanc. Very fruity and delicious, it went well with the spicy goods. This was a delightful meal. read more
