When I tell you this was prolly the best Asian food I had in Dallas I'm not lying! I was so shocked and stumbled on it. Only thing is that even tho I got mild, everything was still spicy. The wings were 10/10 but not many for the price. I deff will be back. It's hot af in the inside, almost felt like no air. Service was ok could be better.

Meh... I think I ordered the wrong thing. Every time I do a review, keep in mind that I'm a Texi-fornian. I maintain an extremely healthy diet. This was way too rich for me. I would go again, but I have to be more discerning about what I choose because I don't want to be on the treadmill for four hours the day after. The atmosphere was great. Clearly this was a favorite lunch spot for nearby workers. The energy was great. The decor was fun.

Sweet rice is the newest Thai place here in bishop arts and was exactly what the neighborhood was missing. The owner is so sweet and always so helpful when ordering. Beware their spice levels as they use real Thai chilis and it can get very hot very fast, so usually I order a 3 or 4 spice level elsewhere but here I order 2. We have only ordered to-go granted from here but Everything we have had is always great! Our go to's are the duck fat fried rice (comes with combo steak chicken and shrimp) and then the crab rangoons, egg rolls, yellow curry and moo ping. I think that will get you right in almost any state!

I literally can't say enough good things about Sweet Rice because even after a week of eating here, my boyfriend and I are still raving about it. Sweet Rice is owned and run by a Thai family (I believe), so you best believe that the food is incredibly authentic. The very nice lady gave us incredible recommendations, and she was so sweet and kind. She brought out lots of Thai spice options, which were fantastic additions to our entrees. Pricing is honestly very reasonable for the amount of food that you get, and you also have to keep in mind which neighborhood Sweet Rice is located in. The menu looks incredible and we honestly wanted to try everything, but we opted for the duck fat fried rice and this other rice dish that was so freaking good. I've never had Thai food this good in Dallas much less anywhere else in Texas, so that's how you know this is truly a gem. The duck fat fried rice was so unique and so fragrant, and I would come back just to order this again. The other rice dish that we got was also so yummy with the meat and the rice perfectly cooked. The sauce from the meat seeped into the sauce, so we were scarfing down bite after bite. I truly can't say enough good things about Sweet Rice. This has become one of my boyfriend's and my favorite restaurants in all of Texas, and we plan on bringing our family and friends here. Please come try it out! They're worth the visit.

Ambiance was great. Love the atmosphere. You are greeted when you walk in. Menus are at the counter where you order & on top of a trashcan when you walk in. I was looking for an authentic Thai/lao cuisine and this is as close as it gets here in Dallas after coming back from being in Laos for some time. Only thing I didn't enjoy was the portioning to the cost. I felt like I received very little for what I paid. Flavor was great but the spice level wasn't there. I got a level 5 as well. Good restaurant. Hope to come back again and maybe see some changes in the portions or pricing. Sticky rice was a bit pricier than I anticipated!

FRESH FOOD!! My daughter works in the Bishop Arts area and recommended we try Sweet Rice. Shes been here a few times and highly recommended it. What a great choice! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful with the menu options. Very clean and chill environment. We had a great experience and will be back. I had the chicken Pad Thai and my husband had the chicken fried rice. Both were delicious with lots of flavor. I ordered mine at a 3 but maybe I'll get 4 next time. I like my food pretty spicy and was offered some fresh spices and sauces to add by the sweet lady at the counter. So good. My son and daughter ordered a couple of appetizers to try, shrimp fresh rolls and crab cream cheese. Their peanut sauce is so yummy! I even added some in my Pad Thai. Everything tastes so fresh. I got a strawberry green tea with boba to go. Very refreshing and tasty. If you're in the Bishop Arts area and want a bite to eat I highly recommend trying them out. They're located where Encanto Pop used to be. Very cute spot with delicious food.

I have been so meaning to get to this review! I could keep it succinct and just say Go to Sweet Rice! But we loved that this food is superb and is here in Oak Cliff, so we definitely need to say more! The female front of house that was here the day we came to Sweet Rice was so amazing to us, I can't begin to tell you how kind she is and I forgot her name. I am so embarrassed. She was lovely. And she managed the front pretty much by herself. She warned us about the spice level. We can generally take the heat; but we ordered a "2" and it had plenty of heat for my husband and I. She was right. ( I usually get a "3" and he orders a "4" on a 1 - 5 scale.) For our first visit we chose familiar items. Thai Chicken Wings, Thai Chicken Green Curry, and a little something different, Street Thai Train Fried Rice with a three meat combo - beef, chicken, shrimp. But the Sweet Rice menu is incredible. Soups are headliners here - so many. Noodles. Combinations I would love to try. As it turned out, everything we had was terrific. Perfectly cooked, seasoned and served, it was plenty of food for two people. Street Thai Train Fried Rice was seasoned such that each grain of rice was as seasoned as the next. It was a beautiful rice dish that needed no sauce even. The chicken wings were not greasy at all. Tight and crispy but tender and juicy. Very Good and again, well seasoned. The curry was perfect. The vibe is good with plants and that historic building feel. Although there is a huge wonderful sunny window at the front of Sweet Rice, the restaurant itself is small. There's Ledge seating at the window and other tables and chairs that are close in proximity. They have Counter ordering. There is one unisex bathroom and no additional dining in back. I lived in Oak Cliff and this little spot is truly evocative of old Oak Cliff. It's built along with a string of other small historic buildings, newly revitalized places, along Davis going West downhill towards the intersection of Tyler. It's interesting. It's intimate. And it's tough to park. I'm not gonna lie. There is parking in back, in front of a long deck, where you can enter through the restaurant's back door. There's a few spots to fight for out front and more back east up the street. It's better at different times of the day, I'm sure. We had no trouble parking today!

Me still here. I'm out.

Peeps. I can't even rate this place on food. The customer service towards me was deplorable. I'm ordered fried rice to go. FOUR families ordered after me for sit down meals and received their food before me. Thirty minutes later they told me some nonsense like the online orders are backed up. Ma'am you took my order at the counter!!! No apology or kindness given. I'm still waiting. Horrible!!!

I was cheerfully welcomed as I entered. Fast casual, small dining area , limited seating and parking but definitely worth it. Food and service just as good as other Sweet Rice location. Even the eat-in foods are served in I sat at the small dining counter with a view to Davis St. All orders are served in biodegradable containers. I did not check out bathrooms but this place is clean and tidy. Thank you for being in Oak Cliff. 5 stars.

Updated Review - the portion sizes have gotten better over time. This Thai restaurant is extremely good, I wish the prices were a few dollars cheaper for better value. Typically end of up paying $20 for almost any lunch sized portioned meal.

Chicken pad Thai

I used to love Sweet Rice and it was our go-to spot for Chicken Pad Thai. Unfortunately, our visit today was disappointing. We ordered our usual Chicken Pad Thai and vegetable egg rolls. The egg rolls were excellent as always. However, the Pad Thai noodles were noticeably undercooked -- stiff and hard to eat. My husband actually choked on them, so we politely asked for the dish to be remade. The second version was slightly better but the noodles were still not fully cooked. When I asked for to-go container lids and extra Pad Thai sauce (so I could steam and soften the noodles at home), an older lady (around 70) shook her head and said "no." After I offered to pay for the extra sauce, she eventually provided it, but the interaction felt rude and unwilling. The combination of declining food quality and this poor customer service has changed my experience so much that it will unfortunately be our last visit. I really wish it hadn't ended this way.

So happy about the location - it's in a popular spot…read more Even happier about the drink (I don't like the ice) - the mango coconut smash is a favorite of mine. Trying to make it at home but not sure how to make it foamy like they do. The curry dish with rice and meat was a slam dunk, I loved it. I can see why a coworker at my old job recommended it, it's pretty solid. Vibes are not as tropical and more like fine dining in this location. Keep up the good work

I really want to give the food a 5/5, but if I'm comparing it to a lot of the Thai places I've been…read moreto in Houston, I have to fairly rate them 4/5. There's just been truly so many outstanding experiences I've had in Houston. Regardless, the food was very good and it was authentic, we did get dishes similar to what we got at Street to Kitchen in Houston, which is the most authentic Thai we've had. Food: I forgot to take pictures of two other dishes we ordered, the Thai chicken, wings, and the drunken noodles. But let me start with the complementary sticky rice. I've actually never had a complementary "starter" at a Thai restaurant, so they stood out, and it was a good meal prepper. The dip is an eggplant type of dip so it's not peanut sauce based. It was really good. The best dish was the crab dip with the shrimp chips, the dip was curried and balanced well with the crab. The chicken wings weren't as crispy as we're used to, and there were more on the saucy side, but it was a solid 4/5 dish. The drunken noodles were good and I feel like they had a great mix of veggies, beef, and noodles in the dish, so it wasn't so carb heavy. But we've definitely had better flavor drunken noodles before. Lastly, the mango sticky rice presentation was unlike anything I've seen before, and I loved it. Do I prefer the traditional sliced mango over a bit of rice? Perhaps. But I did enjoy tasting the mango and the condensed milk and a sticky rice together inside the coconut for a change. Service: we went during dinnertime on a Saturday night, and I was so impressed with the level of service we had. Because don't get me wrong, they were busy, but the food came out so fast & we had multiple servers filling up our water and ensuring we're doing okay. We were literally out of there in about an hour, but it wasn't because they were pushing us out, it was truly because everything was so quick. And I loved that strategy they used where we didn't have just one server assigned to us, which is probably why they are thriving here in Dallas. Overall, if you're craving Thai, I would recommend coming here.
